Looks like I'm getting drunk alone tonight. Anyone else spending the night at home?

Technically yes unless you count my parents. I started drinking at 5:30PM and I'm on beer #4 already

Happy New Year!!!! Thank God we have another year with Bush as our leader.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne,
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld ang syne.
We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne.
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Happy Valentines Day.

happy fucking new yetars aeveryone! i love you all! lolllll

Happy New Year

2006, a year that will soon be remembered for more disasters, celebrities splitting up (that no one cares about), annoying pop stars crashing cars and getting away with it, deaths of good celebrities, and possibly one more celebrity trial.

I watched some of the "RAWKIN New Years" special and was annoyed to no end for several reasons.

1) Hilary Duff
2) Ryan Seacrest
3) Shitty music (Pussycat Dolls? Give me a fucking break)

It's 2006 in Texas!

Happy New Year, to my best Internet friends!

May you all have a prosperous and fun year - keep safe, and have a great time!

One of my cats is in the culvert outside, and he'll probably be there until the fireworks stop...no idea when that will be! Until then, and afterward, I'll keep myself occupied with the Twilight Zone. I didn't have a very exciting New Year's, but I was with my family, so it was good. I played Auld Lang Syne from my Rat Pack Christmas CD when midnight passed.

My mom just mentioned this - she asked me if I knew who the Pussycat Dolls were, and all I could do was laugh. I watched the scene in NY at 11:00 here, and that was enough for my TV viewing, besides TZ.

That's a good girl Gina. I must be the only man on here glad to hear Frank being played in Times Square.

It's the only "New Year's song" I know, and you can't go wrong with that CD. Though I was very tempted by the Pussycat Dolls, just as DV was.

By the way, using a Half Price Bookstore gift card from Christmas, I finally took a break from Maynard Ferguson to check out some other jazz greats. I found some great deals on CDs, so I bought two Dizzy Gillespie ones, a Louis Armstrong one, a Duke Ellington one, a "Best of Ken Burns Jazz" one, and a Sinatra one. Also, my parents gave me a Dizzy one for Christmas. It'll take me a couple of listenings to really learn the songs and enjoy them, but I'm glad to broaden my musical range.

[/b][/quote]Gillespie and Charlie Parker are the two God's of the Bee-Bop period. Gillespie had a rawness to him, with alot of hispanic hints in his work.

If you need advice on Sinatra, come to me. Look for his original concept albums. THose are masterworks.

Happy '06 everyone. I wish you all a great year ahead.

If I need advice on any of these guys, I'll be sure to come to you.

This is the Dizzy CD my parents got me, and I think I enjoy it the most. Charlie Parker is featured on it, but I ought to get one of his CDs. Half-Price is amazing, considering some of the deals you can find there, so I'll probably be jazz-hunting the next time I make it out there, also.

Are you familiar with, or a fan of, Arturo Sandoval? A Band friend at school told me about him, and I've listened to a bit of his stuff - I don't know him near as well as I do Maynard, but I love his music. It's got that latin jazz feel, and I really enjoy it.

If you guys are into jazz you should check out Oscar Peterson and Diana Krall. Funny you should mention Sandoval Gina, my brother's a big Sandoval fan. Have you seen the Arturro Sandoval biopic? Played by Andy Garcia, not bad.

I know of Sandoval and have seen him perform on TV. Great stuff, I tell you. I'm not into the Latin Jazz feel. I perfer the traditional stuff.

I'd never know of the Sandoval biopic, Jasani, so that'd be interesting to check out - thanks!

Sully, I guess I like a little of both - the latin twist is just so cool to hear.

I've been interested in jazz and big band music for a long time, but I've never really taken the time to "research" it, look into some of the history of it, and learn more of the artists involved, which I'd like to start doing.

(Sorry for hijacking this thread, guys - best way to celebrate New Year's is chatting at the BB, though. Right? )

It was a tv movie. For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0236285/

Happy New Years everyone. hopefully, we all will have a better year or for those who had a good year, may 2006 continue to be a good year.

May you all enjoy good health in this new year!!

Now that it's official (and that I'm home to tell about it).... Happy, Healthy, New Year, everyone!! May this year always be better than last year...

...With a special nod to Vercetti, the hugest Ryan Seacrest fan!!!

The book 1984 was quite futuristic, but not like the films 2001 and 2010 -- and yet, when they came out, those years seemed a lifetime away!

Funny, fiction is! I sometimes wonder why we haven't yet met up with such expectations from years ago.... cuz I, for one, would love a trip into space before I die...

Happy New Year everyone! I hope You had a great time and that all the things You hope for will come true! Cent'anni!

Alright.. so last night had its' peaks and lows.. but overall, I was more drunk last night than I have ever been in my entire life.. everyone at the party threw up but me.. and I have no hang over.. oh geeez.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR EVERYBODY HERE!

I tought you were spending the night alone, at home?
