    The Deion Sanders thread

    Why hire an agent? Not hiring a lawyer to face assault charges worked out really well for him.

    The Deion Sanders thread

    No one wants the LaVar Ball style media circus that comes along with this kid. It's that simple. No coach is going to invite being publicly second guessed every week that this kid isn't producing at an All Pro level. He has no players around him, they don't know how to use him, the coaches...

    Same song by same artists that are different

    This has the potential to be unpopular since it's counter to their primary mission, but Slipknot's Vermilion Pt 2 is so much better than Pt 1. It just works so well slowed and stripped and unplugged. It's a side of the group people wouldn't expect.

    Same song by same artists that are different

    Bit of a stretch on the premise, but I always thought this was funny. We'll make one poppy, and layer in some steel guitar and twang on the other one, release them to their respective formats and never the twain shall meet.

    Same song by same artists that are different

    The ultimate example of this is Guns N Roses - Don't Cry. They had two different sets of lyrics and decided to go with both. Always thought the more brooding version from UYI2 was better, but the ugly crossfade in the middle of the song is a stark reminder of which version is the original.

    Same song by same artists that are different

    I love this thread so much. I feel like I'm the only one who noticed album versions vs demo versions vs radio mixes, etc. Verve Pipe - Freshmen Everyone was familiar with the radio version. Huge hit. This is the original single version I had. I love the brushed snare and falsetto kick in...

    Creepy and Freaky Album Covers

    Whole thing, though super creepy, was surprisingly well done in an era well before Photoshop.

    Creepy and Freaky Album Covers

    I had it at one point. Wouldn't surprise me if my parents threw it away the second they saw it. As a teenager I bought it largely for the shock value. Couldn't believe On Cue in Spencer had it.

    Creepy and Freaky Album Covers

    I also remember Black Crowes Amorica stirring controversy by daring to acknowledge the existence of pubic hair. You can research that one on your own, pervert.

    *Updated* MN advancing law that would ban the requirement of HOAs for new developments. Iowa does the opposite.

    Ours is a glorified neighborhood watch. A Facebook group to ***** about things and post pictures of the dogs we all know are free range as 'lost' hoping the lazy owners will take the hint.

    What music are you listening to right now?

    Losing and rediscovering is a blast for me too. In 2001 we got Old 97's, Pete Yorn and Ryan Adams starting to release and album every year. 'I won't tell a soul except the people in the nightclub where I sing'

    Friday OT - Am I the A-Hole?

    I get that. It's a risk vs reward decision. I do agree that inconveniencing your friend puts you firmly into a position where you're allowed to have an opinion. I'm sure they are good people who just have this weird thing they do or you would have led with that. They are entitled to settle...

    Friday OT - Am I the A-Hole?

    Your wife is enabling the behavior. I assume she knows that, but it's not an matter of intelligence so much as perspective. I would probably land somewhere close to what you are doing. I bet your wife could just straight up tell them they are being ridiculous. She has the lifelong...

    Favorite movies many may not know about

    After Kids In The Hall and in the middle of his run on Newsradio, The Wrong Guy is a great showcase for Dave Foley's deadpan delivery as an actor and self-deprecating gags as a writer.

    2025 Iowa's Best Burger

    Burgers & Co in Spirit Lake, huh? I went there a few years back and, well, haven't been back. Maybe they've made some changes.

    Is anyone into Yacht Rock?

    What a great, if soul-crushing way to consider the vastness of music. I'm at an age where songs I was familiar with hit me in a completely different way as I gain experiences. Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here was a okay song most of my life, but as I'm learning to play it on guitar there are...

    Another pedestrian bridge proposed near Jack Trice ..

    I agree it's a bigger issue with nothing but what I call 'suggestion lights' for the pedestrians crossing north to south once you're east of the bridge, but the sidewalk narrows considerably across the bridge and there's nothing but a 15" dropoff between you and cars there. The outside traffic...

    Dog with Full CCL Tear

    Had a lab/blue heeler mix tear up her knee around 9 years old too. She had a chest mass that made surgery a nonstarter. Never had a brace recommended but I'm not a knee ligament expert, so may not be apples to apples. She was able to adapt to one leg doing the majority of the work. Her days...
