    Huh? It's rated best at both sites, goofball. Spill one for me too.

    Listening to the Best of Mercury Rev right now. Fun stuff. Mastered by Dave Fridmann so you know it's way way way too loud, but unfortunately, that's their (his) sound now, I guess. Sometimes forget how unique they were, even in their more conventional times.

    Oh, you were callin' me one. At least you're accurate if not tactful. I like the beer advocate but didn't bother checking that one (go figure) as I'm just two *****ing busy to fool around websites all day. What am I doing here anyway? Oh, that's right. I got an e-mail telling me you responded, so I just had to peek.

    Anyway, I stand by my statement that it doesn't get any better than Swashbuckler Pale Ale. Now if I could just get some for home consumption....

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    I did not know the Mercury Rev best-of existed. Interesting. Looks like a fairly decent selection... perpelexing are the ommissions of "Nite and Fog" and "Bronx Cheer" but other than that.. looks like a nice listen. My favorite Mercury Rev album is still YERSELF IS STEAM.

    Actually, they made a point of calling it The Essential Mercury Rev, so we might all have perplexing inclusions and omissions when they use only 14 songs to cover a 15 year perspective. I got it mainly for the second disc of oddities, but at only $11.95 postpaid for a nice 2-disc package from one of the most interesting bands of the last 15 years, no complaints here. I'd still go with Deserter's Songs, cause I'm a sucker for the more organic side of the Rev.
