Very interesting thread... thanks for all the detail, Xenu! While I haven't heard the PastMasters CDs myself, I tend to think I'd probably agree with you. I'm just not *that* unhappy with the sound of the 2001 remasters, and for my infrequent Beach Boys listening needs, they're probably all I need. ...

Xenu, After reading all the glowing reviews of those discs, your clip does warrant a cautious approach to just assuming they're the real deal.

Same here, Ryan. Tennessee is just as red as Kentucky, I'd assume - and that's really saying something. I wore my Louvin Brothers "Satan Is Real" shirt 'cuz I knew *that* would go over a heap better than my Kerry-Edwards apparel. I knew that shirt would serve a purpose someday!

The line is a moronic appeal to selfishness but the great thing is that it puts the incumbent on the defensive and would be impossible for Bush to effectively respond to. Wha...

I can't remember... did Bush resurrect Reagan's classic "Well, there you go again" quote at all during the debates? I'm sure that would have REALLY helped send his poll points through the stratosphere! I applaud (and agree with) the person who surmised the media's bias toward simplicity, sensational...

Luke, Thank you so much for compiling these links - especially the Spizer info. I completely agree with Spizer's arguments that Capitol *marketed* - not butchered - the Beatles catalog. This past summer, I just made needle-drops of the American albums so I haven't been that excited over this new box...
