Flirty Girl Fitness sounds like an awesome place to get a blowjob.

FTR, and in the interest of extinguishing rumors of my cultural ignominity, I did not goggle a riddle answer, I answered the riddle through the witty implementation of a google reference.

If you want to get extra cultured, read Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet. You can get through the book in just a couple of hours........and yet you will be absorbing it for years. Heavy, huh?

I stood on Allan Ginsberg's stoop. I'm not a fan or anything, but I think it fits in here, somewhat. Moreso than a Royals thread, which I was thinking about posting it in.

Mr. Fax: Tchaikovsky is always on my mind. And not his ballet/opera shit (although he wrote several long-standing ballet pieces.) 1812 Overture, March Slave, Piano Concerto #1.... ALL of these, to me, are the pinnacle of music.

I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist.

Just my two cents, anyway. Plus, Russians really don't know anything about opera. |
