BUM BUM BAAAAA- July's Meeting

Fairly funspalicious meeting. Mike M is getting into LA shape by not consuming carbs, Byron had a disc rated solid in the 2's, Jay regailed us with the wittiest reviews of the month and Jen got hubba hubba sexy (read her review). Wings were had by all as were 3 different types of beer at a blue light price of $7/pitcher.

Mike M hit a milestone by placing a second top tenner in almost as many months and we welcomed Neil to the top 10, bottom 10 that is, for his contribution. Midwest Mike was the lone fuddyduddy on Katrina which stands to reason if you ever met him. DBTs, as D'Arcy likes to call them, were quite well recieved except for Jen who painted a spectacular picture for all of us to mentally. OCS, again as D'Arcy likes to call them, were give a dodectet thumbs up (12 for you not in th' know).

The question brought out much philosophical musings, mostly by Jay who we have extra patience with since he is the oldest. It appeared that mostly styles of music went from disdain to love and over commercialized acts went the other way. The challenge posed by Jay was to name bands that ended without having a total dud or sucking moose hogs because eventually all bands/artists blow after time because their creativity or new ideas dry up, as he noted usually after their first disc. His example was the Beatles, which we all agreed. But we said "bollocks!" to the idea that bands eventually suck since it is all subjective- all bands with longevity have hill and dales and sometimes they go in new directions that might not appeal to us.

After this contention we drank another pitcher and hugged (except Jen because she scared us earlier) and made up.
