  • Wow, Crowded House looks so...old. Now I'm depressed. And a wtf on the reunion, didn't one of the dudes die? (I saw that he's been replaced).

    As for dieting/weightloss social networks, my initial reaction was that this is ridiculous, but then I realized of all the various niches for social interaction/support this is probably one of the most legitimate spaces for a social network, so maybe it will work. I can see how it could be a really useful thing.
  • Hey Dave, yeah, the original drummer Paul Hester committed suicide a while back.

    I haven't really kept up on it but I guess this new album was a Neil Finn solo album that caused a reunion between Neil Finn and the bassist Nick Seymour. The guitar dude Mark Hart was on the album Forever Alone. I guess Tim Finn isn't involved.

    Even though I'm kind of ambivalent if you can really call it a reuinion with only two members of a trio, I'll give any Neil Finn stuff a whirl.

    Yeah it does make me feel old, because I remember way back when, your dad heard them play at the Hard Rock cafe when they were just starting out. I also remember that English teacher (I forget his name) loaning me his Split Enz albums.

    Ah, and in regards to the fatblogging sites, I think the idea is good, I just think the bubbly signs are when you have several sites doing the same thing.
  • Thanks for the heads up on Crowded House. They're one of my favorite bands. Do you like Neil Flynn by himself?
