I was listening to Please, Please, Please today, by Fiona Apple, and it made me think of many of you on this board...it's off her album Extraordinary Machine....give it a listen and you'll see what I mean...

Here are the lyrics though.....

Please Please Please

Please please please
No more melodies
They lack impact, they're petty
They've been made up already
Please please please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same team
And you can hear our sad brain screaming

Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady
Steady going nowhere

Please please please
No apologies
At best they buy you time
Until you next step out of line
Please please please
No more remedies
My method is uncertain
It's a mess but it's working
And maybe if you tried it out
You won't like it when you're crying out

Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady
Steady going nowhere

Please please please
No more melodies
They lack impact, they're petty
They've been made up already
Please please please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same team and
You can hear our sad brain screaming

Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady, steady, steady
Steady going nowhere

Please please please
No apologies
At best they buy you time
Until you next step out of line
Please please please
No more remedies
My method is uncertain
It's a mess but it's working
And maybe if you want to try it out
You won't like it when you're crying out

Give me something familiar
Somethin' similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady
Steady going nowhere

    Let me be the first to nominate this as THE douchebaggiest post of year. Should be a stiff competition this year... Hell, I may even be a nominee.

    I may have had one of the best halloween costumes in history this past year.

    A pretty solid Hulk Hogan costume, championship belt and all. I added my own touch, an inflatable wang that was about a foot and a half long. Played a gig one night and went to a party the next night and there wasn't a person that didn't love it.

    I dunno if mine will get seconded, though.

    Should be hotly contested this year with the new album, expensive tix, deal with Target, and Ed gettin fat. :lol::lol:

    There'll be plenty of posts that are gonna knock ours out of commission.

    Is this the leaked "unreleased" version of Extraordinary Machine, or the official one they released years later? I remember downloading the first cut off of Napster, the one the record companies didn't like, and it still is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's got such a big sound to it, and Fiona sounds incredible. I was so excited when they relented and released the album later, but honestly I find it unlistenable compared to the original.

    If you haven't heard the original you would do yourself a service to track it down.

    How did that whole thing ever end with the signed ten box? I dont mean to repeat another post. I was just wondering. Was it Snoopy or the other few names he has post with?

    Yes, and I was arrested in China smuggling Eddie Vedder wallets and Dickie's jackets, too...anything for a profit...I'm also the guy on Canadian Craig's List selling my fan club tickets, and the guy who is responsible for all the shark finning in Japan, I also overload the 10C servers personally every time tickets go on sale anywhere...I also only wear clothes made of endangered animals and eat raw meat by the truckload and only light and heat my home with candles made from Blue Whale blubber...I also hate everything new that Pearl Jam is doing and post it regularly on this board...I hold the band members to their ideas as they were presented to me seventeen years ago, 'cuz, as you all know...change is the first sign of becoming a money grubbing whore..oh,yeah....and I own an iPhone :shock:

    I love the bashers who pretend to know something that they couldn't possibly know...and I mean KNOW...not simply speculate....

    Sincerely,

    King Douchebag

    P.S. Kindly refer to me as King Douchebag from now on, as you surely are my subject ;)

    You're a sensitive little guy, I didn't mean any disrespect by my question I just never knew how the story ended. I just think you are a little shady, you never have anything newsworthy to add, you just keep your name visible, then announce your ebay sales. So just relax, its Saturday night.

    Yeah, I guess I am just being too sensitive, and it is Saturday night....why anyone would object to a character assasination out of nowhere and being called a douche bag is beyond me...upon re-reading your initial post to me, I agree that you really didn't mean any disrespect whatsoever...making accusations and calling someone names who you don't even have the slightest clue about is part of everyday, friendly Pearl Jam Fan Club chat....As far as Ebay goes, I 'hawk' my 'sh it' to people who may be interested in Pearl Jam items, as MANY others do on this board...it seems that everyone who deals with me on Ebay is pretty happy with what they get, soooooo?....You are 100% correct and I have overreacted horribly...I am truly sorry...goodnight Zappa...
