Also, wanted to update about the site's name/title. While Music Slobs was a title it deserved during the site's dark ages, I don't feel like it deserves it anymore. The number of posts have actually been pretty high, and I'm doing my best (and I know you all are too) to make sure they're interesting, so while I like the title in a way it's not a good fit anymore. I did like a lot of the others, but the best one I heard was from my wife, (told to me though not found in the comments) and requires a bit of explanation. You see she feels that I have a tendency to (when I'm talking about something I care about) speak like I'm writing a persuasive essay. For example I might say something like... "Phil Collins is a musical genius." After I saw something like this (that may be a bit doubtful) it no longer matters if it's true, or if I even believe it myself... half the time I'll try and convince people just because. Especially if they seem don't seem to be buying. So after the statement I'll follow it up with things like "he was in Genesis, and they had some good songs." (Don't click that link if you want me to be able to make my case... I think the website might do more damage than good in this argument) Next, I'll say "he sang and played drums, not easy." Finally, I'll say "I think 'Against all Odds' (click on this just to see the album cover... seriously do it), 'One More Night', and 'A Groovy Kind of Love' speak for themselves, and I rest my case." With that in mind Sarah suggested something along the lines of "Here's three reasons" or "Let me give you three reasons" etc... you get the idea. I thought that was pretty clever and if you've talked much with me in the past you might agree with her assessment of my speaking/logic and find it particularly amusing.
Creepy picture, right?

Well, I thought that it would be clever to put up a poll on what titles were suggested and vote, but I could not figure out how to do the poll.
Okay, so the poll idea, not bad. On westlaw, out lagal database I usually do the poll, but it does not require listening to a bunch of songs, which admittedly is not that big of task. I made it through only about 30 sec of one song and deemed myself unfit to vote.
As for SP's...well, they are S's P's, so you can put what you like. I will throw in a few songs that I like though (KVB's P's) live, lightning crashes is a song I never an disappointed to hear. Nothing wrong with grateful dead, except you would have to be at MS for a half hour to hear a whole song. Que Onda Guero is one I am always in the mood for. I'm sure I could come up with others if I put my mind to it.
I'll try to actually put some thought into the title, and Music Slobs was not actually a suggestion, just what it devolved into.
So which name are you suggesting Aaron? Maybe I am just not read good? Is it Phil collins balding mellon? or creepier than those muppet genesis guys from the 80's. Oh and by the way, VOTE PARIS 2008!!!!
