Hahah, how did you think it would be anything less than a steaming hot pile of poo? Or was seeing it one of those things you you did, just because you could?
The meh factor was exceptionally high for Episode I anyway. But even still, some things are best left untouched.

Agreed.
In other news--spent tonight playing poker. Three hours. Lost two dollars. Was betting with $100. Not a bad time at all.
Came home, drank more, played video games, and now I have a shit load of work to do that I should have been doing the past two days. FUCK.
Oh well.
Keep pressing on...

Because we have a leap year.

Slow February... here's a suggestion if you're looking for something to get you motivated. Simple Minds. Seriously. Saw them last night in Glasgow, where they're doing a short tour comprising nothing but early stuff - nothing recorded beyond 1982, so basically when they were really very good! And they were very very good last night! 5 tracks from each of the first 5 albums. Rolled back the years.
They've rereleased the first 5 albums as well - you can get them for a decent price (I paid £12) and been revisiting them all this week. A number of genuine classics. You can see why they influenced a lot of bands (I know Primal Scream, the Manics and U2 have come out and said so) and from their side the influence of the likes of Kraftwerk, Magazine, Talking Heads, Joy Division, krautrock and all sorts of bleak electronica is clear.
Anyway, thought I'd throw it out there for a quiet February Sunday morning, and might even educate a few of our younger brethren...

OK weird. I was driving yesterday and Someone Somewhere In Summertime came up on my shuffle and I kept thinking how I just need to repurchase New Gold Dream.. Then last night I was at a friends and heard Don't You Forget About Me come on their music channel at random. And this morning I had The Waterfront stuck in my head. I think Simple Minds are trying to tell me something...
What I like about Simple Minds, even from a retrospective pov, is that they still sound good. They have weathered well, I think. Nostalgic, yes.. But sometimes when you hear something that really takes you back to that time when nothing else existed at that very moment except for that song - that song seems to lose something in the 'present'. I don't seem to get that with Simple Minds. Then again they were pretty high up on my list of faves way back when.

Wow, that is awesome!
I mean, we're already getting a official release of the show, but the quality of that is outstanding. Massive buckets of props to the people behind that!

NGD was the latest they played - ended a 2.5 hr set with it, blinding version. Someone Somewhere, Love Song, I Travel, In Trance As Mission, Room, Sweat in Bullet... awesome set! Anyway, the old stuff has weathered very well and arguably is more current than some of the stuff out there now. After the time of NGD or Sparkle, it was hit and miss for a few years, then very much a miss. From reading a few recent interviews, it sounds like they've belatedly realised what made them great in the first place. Will be interesting to see where they go from here.
You won't go wrong with buying the x5 package - not only NGD, but the 4 before that as well!
