It was that movie and The Cutting Edge that we couldn't stop going to. <br />I just recently saw a snippet of The Crystal Skull and that is all I care to ever see. It was HORRIBLE! I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist or maybe that it was just a spoof. Spencer and I were discussing it and wondering how Steven Spielberg got to that point from the earlier Indiana Jones movies and Jaws and all those other greats. Sad sad sadness. <br />Way to go Ami on getting it first!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469995281704190260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574902894146998478.post-35254734949085156632010-02-21T10:19:33.351-07:002010-02-21T10:19:33.351-07:00I had a feeling those little twangy nuggets were f...I had a feeling those little twangy nuggets were for me and I should have just kept my mouth shut.<br />I will check with playlist and do my best to fix the coversong Alex.<br /><br />Haley-- I think we look at music a bit differently because in my mind country is not a blanket term, it is in most cases very specific for me. For the record I still call it country when Faith Hill or someone else makes a "pop" song and gets on the pop charts. It still sounds and feels like country to me. Call me close minded I honestly don't care. I even decided years ago perhaps I was not giving it a chance (I had too many Idaho roommates that kept telling me that they used to hate country too until they really listened to it and then they started to like it.) So I really actually gave it a shot for a little while, tried to open my mind and really try. My conclusion after that little experiment? I hate everything about it- I really do, and that is an educated opinion now.<br />I still love you country music listeners out there, I just can't stomach the stuff.<br />Except again, I don't mind the 50's stuff, I don't spend much time listening to it, but I can see a little charm there, but the charm for me didn't not live past those pioneers of country music. I think the stuff your grandma and grandpa Phister sing is cute and charming also.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835924016744040120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574902894146998478.post-49270656872282341432010-02-21T09:30:05.760-07:002010-02-21T09:30:05.760-07:00I knew I was going to be really bad at this end of...I knew I was going to be really bad at this end of the movie game. I could picture Harrison Ford saying the lines, just couldn't figure out what movie it was from.

I checked playlist.com and theres a good copy there. If it's not a big inconvenience it would be cool if you could change it. <br /><br />Also about my playlist- there was a handful of my faves that were not available on the site, bummer. Contrary to what you might think I'm really not a huge country music fan. I mean I dig alot of it but there is also alot that I cannot stand. But after your comment about it I just had to throw in some twangy stuff. If you pay attention and actually LISTEN to "Good Directions" It tells a good little story.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340043640607146611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574902894146998478.post-72238675280242098442010-02-21T00:03:15.109-07:002010-02-21T00:03:15.109-07:00Other than Desperado and Best of My Love, the Eagl...Other than Desperado and Best of My Love, the Eagles are just nostalgic now for me, too.

I think country is a little strong of a term for them, but some songs might cross that line I admit. I have zero interest in them these days. I used to listen to A LOT of classic rock, but I think I got really sick of it or something and listen to very very little the last 10 years or so. A little Pink Floyd now and then is desirable but little else. I also wouldn't kick The Guess Who out of bed (figuratively speaking).<br /><br />I gave Alex and Ami a win on the board this week.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835924016744040120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574902894146998478.post-86661070719059404012010-02-20T21:57:12.341-07:002010-02-20T21:57:12.341-07:00Eagles have been called country, too.

I only sneak one or two into my playlists these days. It's like casting pearls to swine....<br /><br />I also have never heard Neil's music referred to as "country". <br />Rock a billy, certainly. Country? I say no. I have also been known to enjoy a Johnny Cash or a Patsy Cline song now and then. Some may call Buddy Holly a little country and I allow him into my music library too.
