For my part, I have had "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (yes, I know its May) in there for two days. Finally managed to crowbar it out with "The Tide That Left and Never Came Back" by the Veils. Man that's a catchy song.
No matter your taste in music, its always the cheezy rubbish that gets stuck in your head. Just a quick survey, because its Friday and I haven't got any work to do: What have you got stuck in your head at the moment.

When Smints first came out, a friend of mine became addicted to them, churning through the better part of a packet of Smints every day. Unfortunately, she failed to heed the warning on the back of the box: "Excess consumption may have a laxative effect". Try to visualise the possibilities generated by that failure in the context of the middle of a crowded row in a very large lecture theatre.
I heard Kevin Space ywas banned from an exclusive Colorado resort for making unwanted advances on male staff members.
He seems to be one of those diminishing returns actors (see also Morgan Freeman, Samuel L Jackson, Robert De Niro). Great in Seven, SWS and Usual Suspects, pretty good in American Beauty and Midnight..., and hovering between average and complete mud in K-Pax, Pay it Forward, Shipping News and the biggest curly dog turd of them all Ordinary Decent Criminal.
Apparently the "musical genius" stuff is a big overstatement. Apparently he can play a limited number of tunes, including some which appear to be his own, quite well. Plus he is obsessive about pianos.
Autism doesn't sound like a bad call - shuns human interaction, refuses to speak, and obsessed with a single thing.

Once upon a time, I submitted a topic to the forums. When I came to check on it, I couldn't find it. I thought it had gone into The Bar, but I must've put it in here instead. What a retard. I assumed the topic had been blocked so as not offend the advertisers. Today, I found my topic and realised how wrong I was.
My apologies, and a big thank you for sorting out the pop up.
What a shame it wasn't the Jason Alexander who played George on Seinfeld.
//The original song is on We Care a Lot, which means it was sung by Faith No More's original (and indescribably shitty) original singer Mark Bowen.
Oops - that should be Chuck Moseley. And he really did suck.
When I was about 13, I had a special tour edition cassette of Angel Dust by Faith no More, which included a live version of a song called Mark Bowen from a concert in Munich. I lost the tape at some stage in my teenage years, and have tried without success to find that song.
The original song is on We Care a Lot, which means it was sung by Faith No More's original (and indescribably shitty) original singer Mark Bowen. The new live version was sung by Mike Patton, and was awesome.
Faith No More were in the bad habit of always releasing an album, and then rereleasing it with additional tracks. Usually those additional tracks were great, and now you can't get them anywhere. (Mark Bowen was the original guitarist for F'n'M by the way, before Jim Martin joined).
Not sure why I told this story, but I guess it is indicative of how we all get f*cked around by the music industry, and often the extra material is withdrawn from circulation almost as quickly as it arrived by unscrupulous record labels.
// they will be losing enough money as it is
//I very much doubt that.
They will definitely be losing money on off-peak free texts - no interconnection fees, but they still have their own overheads to meet. That's not really the point though - the point is that Vodafone are conducting a predatory pricing campaign to undermine Telecom's $10 texts. Free texts on the weekend is calculated to get customers to switch back to Vodafone and increase revenues in other areas (calling, connection fees, texts during on-peak times etc). It also encourages people to use free texts rather than free minutes, which is cheaper for Vodafone and means people won't get as much out of their GO200 and GO100 plans.
It's a pain in the arse because it screws up your typing and, if you are deleting something, it skips back to previous pages. I know that sites need advertising revenue, but someone should have put their foot down on this one.
Obviously its a new song, and I think its f*ckin great - soulful, understated and an amazing way to end the album.
I just went to this place called Salad Works in Auckland city to grab some lunch, and who should I find behind the counter but Lisa who sang Sweet Disorder.for the Strawpeople. She is pretty hard case too. Random.
//Lawyer? nah i think they take advantage of people.
That's not necessarily true. I haven't taken advantage of anyone for ages.
When I met my g/f I was dressed as Elvis (to be fair, it WAS at a fancy dress party). I was also so drunk that I sounded like Elvis during his "barbituates and deep fried lard" phase.
What about "How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb Threats"?
//Shocking, the way that they'll let anyone in just because its the internet, where no-one knows you're a lawyer.
It's not as though I'm some kind of bloodless corporate whore. Oops, hold on. Actually I am. ;)
That just made me dry retch.
