Sitting at 6-9 going into Monday Night Football. That sense of doom was real, haha.

Just watched one of the best new shows on TV right now: "Ray Donovan" on Showtime.

Happy birthday clw! I'm sure you had Robert serenading to you 24/7 today! Cheers!

"Satisfaction" for one sounds better in mono. "Let's Spend the Night Together" is another. But basically, yes, most of the early singles (1963-1968) sound better to my ears in mono than stereo. For one thing, there was more quality control when mixing in mono...usually the mono mix was given more attention by the producer and the band. The stereo mix was often an afterthought, due to the fact that sales were in singles not LPs at that time. Of course, if you don't have the original mono 45rpms or the original mono albums, then that opens another can of worms. Because ALL of the Rolling Stones CD releases of their classic Decca/ABKCO material have had problems being true to the fidelity of the originals. Whether it is the stereo or mono remasters we are talking about, the CDs never sound as good as the old albums and singles. But I don't have time right now to get into that byzantine trail of tears...I'm with friends. Another time perhaps.

What the hell was up with a lot of teams today...the Giants? Houston? San Francisco?

I'm going to try to get into this Monday...more interested in the Paul McCartney show than the Justin Timberlake one the next day. Either way, Hollywood traffic is going to be hell the next few days. http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/09/paul-mccartney-justin-timberlake-and-jimmy-kimmel-to-screw-hollywood-traffic-for-two-night-concert/

^^^ Uh yeah...haven't you seen "Gimmie Shelter"?

^^^ To be fair to Meredith Hunter, he was a black man with a white girlfriend in the process of getting beaten to death by pool-stick weilding Hell's Angels. I'd say he had a pretty good reason for pulling a gun and trying to defend himself. Isn't that what everyone praised George Zimmerman for?

Where all true rebellion goes: Underground.

Come on Paul...get your Miami Dolphins in gear!

Looks like our picks have us in a sleeper-hold.

To Sagittarius Rising: The Rolling Stones used the London chapter of Hell's Angels for their Hyde Park concert in June 1969 with no problems. Obviously they felt using Hell's Angels for Altamont would be the same. They didn't account for two things... 1) The London Hell's Angels are a church choir compared to the Sonny Barger SF/Oakland Hell's Angels. 2) The massive amounts of bad acid and booze everyone was hopped up on. To Disco Duck: The Firm never played the Hollywood Bowl. Jimmy was talking about the concert Page & Plant played at the Bowl in 1998 on the Walking into Clarksdale tour. It was a GREAT show, by the way, and we had great seats for it...one of the center boxes in the first row behind the pool pit. Jimmy played an amazing No Quarter!

Utter disaster. I stand at 3-7 so far on my card. Thanks for showing up Giants and Houston and Minnesota...NOT!

Fourth down and FAIL! Access denied!

^^^ Or Green Bay. Are you fucking kidding me with that fumble on 4th down!?!?!

:hysterical: jabe, you slay me!

Did Rick say if he was going to the Bills-Jets game?

So true...so very true.

Green Bay starting to pull away...23-14 in the 3rd. Dallas crushing the Lambs 24-0! Walter is cranking Lady Gaga in celebration!

No problem amigo! Half the fun of being a Cinegeek is sharing the love. How are your Hokies doing? Or are you a Cavalier?

My sentiments exactly, Paul. Save that thumb for San Francisco if the Colts upset them.

^^^ Clay Matthews has single-handedly saved Green Bay's bacon...or, cheese, if you will.

Walter must be happy...Dallas up 7-0 early. I barely sat down to my Sunday brunch and Cincy is already up 14-0 over Green Bay! What the fuck has happened to the Packers? This can't be the same team that won the Super Bowl. Cincy might be for real.

Everyone get their bets in?

Me too...but I'm also excited for the same reason. Because so many games could go either way...save Seattle-Jax and Denver-Oakland...we could see a lot of wacky games today. I'm ready! BRING ON THE FOOTBALL!!!
