Are you kidding me? This guy has just gone through and copied the books off our A&M list. Book by book with only a couple that aren't on our list.
The only real difference is he has added more than #1 in a series (our list only has #1 in a series).
Weird.

Did anybody watch the Grammys the other day?

Some terrific performances. I am still buzzing from the Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard performance.
Awesome to see Nelson and Kristofferson doing some of Highwayman again. So cool.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

This is the performance I mean.

Thank you for the Grammy site ( or cite?). That Wiki site was lame.

[Dawn]

Personally I loved Metallica's performance. Thought it was the best of the night.

Steven Tylers mustache was a bit much though!

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I thought I would love Metallica's performance. Metallica performing One is usually an instant hit for me...only I felt, this time around, they massacred the song.
They were out of synch, whoever the soundman was they should never work with Metallica again, Kirk's playing (lead guitar) was really bad sometimes and James sang the first two thirds song off key. He only found his key in the last third.
And they cut out the second solo! WTF!

Just my opinion though. As a diehard metallica fan I have higher than normal expectations. :)

Wow, no ones commented in this thread for almost 24 hours? lol.

Well I am having yet another problem with goodreads. When I clicked on one of my notifications, it goes to a warning screen that says this site is having a problem with its security check something or other and then recommends you leave the site. Anyone else seen this?

[Linda]

Everytime.

I haven't seen that yet, but yesterday GR was a hot mess. Add book link didn't work, preview message didn't work. Lots of stuff didn't work.

I have only just now logged into GR, so I don't know if this is all still playing up.

[Erica]

It happened to me too earlier Allie. I'm on my phone though.

[Bryn]

'connection is untrusted' just saw one for the first time ever

[Allison]

Ok good. Not that I want you all to have problems too but ever since I've upgraded to windows 8.1 I'm paranoid when something doesn't work!

[Allison]

One good aspect of 8.1, I now have the kindle app on my tab! Very exciting :) I'm down $20 and counting.

[Linda]

I don't have Windows on the ASUS or Nook, but it is on my PC. I am running a virus scan now on ASUS and if anything pertinent shows up I will let you know.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

I'm finding GR keeps dropping out. Connection problems, apparently.

Houston, we have a problem.

Much LOL here, my toughts exactly. Someone must find James Hetfield voice, It has been lost for a long long time and Lang Lang added nilch to the song. What a dissapointment on one of my favorite songs.

I'll just take Keith Urban if you please. His performance was so rocker sexy, but I'm biased. He's a hottie. lol

[Dawn]

I rather liked Kacey Musgraves. I am not a country fan but I loved the lyrics to that song she sang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ8xqy... , Follow Your Arrow.

Make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's something you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

I thought the same thing. I wasn't into the song. I like old time country and her song was a bit pop for my tastes, but the lyrics were great.

I also really enjoyed the Kendrick Lamar/Imagine Dragons performance. I had no real interest in the Imagine Dragons song until I saw this performance with Lamar. Kendrick lamar is awesome. Such old school rap.

The other performance I thought was terrific was Macklemore & Ryan Lewis/Madonna. It made me cry a lot.

Did Keith perform? I can't remember? Was it solo or with someone else?

One of my favourites of theirs too. So disappointed that it my my ears bleed.

I read someone on You Tube or somewhere say that if Metallica of the late 80's had been watching that performance they would have gotten up and kicked old Metallica's arse and kicked them off the stage.
I thought that was pretty funny. :]

Have you seen the "Hitler reacts to Metallica doing an album with Lou Reid video? If not I recommend you search Youtube for it.

He performed with Gary Clark. Here is the link. Four minutes of pure pleasure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9yJYh...

Ha! I was laughing so hard my wife came downstairs to check on me. This video is genius. I loved It

Its not like anyone listens to "Puppets" and thinks "Awesome. But no Lou Reed?"

omg that line had me in fits.

My personal favourites..

"anybody who cannot air drum Battery...with fills...must leave the room" (three stayed)

I may have exact words wrong on this one, but it is fairly close)
"why can't they stick to what they do best...like Megadeth, Slayer.......adn Anthrax.." pause, much confused looks by others in the room " ok..f##k Anthrax"

OMG I nearly peed my pants.


I too would one day like to where my Justice t shirt and not have kids say derogatory things about Metallica. I feel fake Hitler's pain. :[

[Simona]

My elder kid, Pietro, who is a Metallica fan, LOVED the video!

Archie is a Mississippi man. We loved, loved, loved him at Ole Miss. When Eli was at Ole Miss, the team sometimes stayed in my town (40 minutes away) he could win, but he did not display the same character as his mother and father did. Peyton, from what I can tell, is not an Archie either. I watched ESPN last night and saw Archie's story as told through his sons. It was wonderful! It took me back to my youth and all those feelings from that time. If the Broncos win, I will happy. If they lose, you will see Archie on tv and he will handle himself with grace as he has always done.

Did someone forget the wake up call at the Denver Hotel? :)

Payton got a little testy at the post game presser when asked if he was embarrased.

[Portia]

Watching that game became painful.

I'd agree. I'm not a football fan, but I did peek at the score earlier this morning out of curiosity.

The Groundhog Paxetawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday indicating six more weeks if Winter. I think Phil's got it right this year.

[Linda]

He usually pouts and walks off after a loss. He did shake Wilson's hand. The Seahawks got no press before the game that I could find. There is enough egg to spread around on several faces today. Anybody notice the media bias?

[Darcy]

Personally, I think this year he took one step out of his den, his sinuses froze up then thought to himself "screw this I'm going back to bed". I think this shadow business has nothing to do with it. I suspect like all the rest of us non-winter types, he couldn't hack the cold this year hahah

[Portia]

Yeah, even us PA natives are whining this year. But Phil's got it right. There is another cold front on its way. Stack the firewood next to the hearth. Finally read that 1,000 book!

[Linda]

Okay. Christmas, New Year and the Super Bowl are over. Time to hit the Health Plex, wash dishes and clean the baseboards.

[Darcy]

I had a wee giggle when I saw this. Now, I'm not discounting that this could be a phenomenal adventure for just 500pound sterling, but that it starts the day after the vote on Scottish independence is a bit funny.

When Brett Favre was qb for Green Bay, they were thoroughly routed by a lesser team. In the interview after the game, he said could not have beaten a junior high football team that day. I think this is what happened to the Brocos. They were off their game.

I would love to do this. The bonus of having English Heritage along as a tour guide would be awesome.

At first I thought 50 pounds was cheap. then I read on and discover you have to raise another 450 pounds.

Only a walk for extroverts and confident people then. Shy, introverts don't usually do fundraising (unless other people do it and the introvert can hide in the background helping).

Dealt with Amazon UK for the first time in years, they can teach the American parent company heaps about customer service.

The US parent won't be getting my money in future.

[Bryn]

I always buy dvds from Amazon UK. Books tend to be more expensive than Amazon US but dvds cheaper (and huge January sales). Also ships in a week and not a fortnight.

I always get DVDs from arkivmusic.com in Bryn Mawr, PA.
