Did anyone point their iPhone with uView at the pic of the monkey ?

This seems like an opportune moment to point out that a gorilla is NOT a monkey. It's an ape.

Ordinarily I wouldn't say anything, but I'm trying to distance myself from this latest abomination...

<---- even though my avatar is not a monkey either...

Coincidentally, here's a piece ("Is This Title OK?") in today's New York Times about a writer's frustration in coming up with book titles:
http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/01/is-this-title-ok/?hp

"Sometimes I think I am going to have to give up and employ one of those companies that do nothing but invent names for things. Usually it’s perfume. Actually I think I would be good at coming up with names for perfume. Or soap powder. Or vacuum cleaners. But when it comes to books, the job feels impossible. Your mission: summarize your entire work in a nutshell. If I could do that (you want to cry out) I wouldn’t have bothered writing the book in the first place!"

Grrr.

So how much money is this GRRR going to cost us? I cant get the info from the website because it only takes UK preorders and not North America. I tried the links and it gets me no where. Typical RS.com, they dont even carry thier own shit or have the proper information available.

I really dont care..I wouldnt take a free copy...Afraid my friends would see and ask what it was.....

Coming soon to Ebay:

Grrr.....new never opened mint condition...100,000 copies.....name your price..free shipping and a $10 rebate

Right on, this is just for the Justin Beaber crowd who don't know anything about music or at least should know, you got to have songs first & then become big stars, all these people become big stars & don't have any music anybody knows.

The CD cover is effective (Bigger Bang's was practically un-noticeable on the shelves), the new track titles are dandy, the album title (like all good Stains' titles) is open to many interpretations and extensions (Graaacious, Grrroup Sex, Graaab a Granny, et al) and overall this is a grand but straight-forward way for the band to give a nod to the 50th anniversary without blowing their horns too much. Seems like it's been a good year - they avoided the general nausea of the Olympics, sidestepped being too Queenly, and are looking - to my eyes - spunky fresh for next year.

Woaf,

I appreciate and admire the fact that Stones wear the legacy lightly, and do everything they do with ironic distance. But this just isn't working for me.

From what I've heard they are 2 solid rockers so thats what I like the most anyway. I cant wait to hear the new songs, even if its only just 2 instead of 20. Quality not quantity when you reach a certain age.

If this joke scan 500,000 is would be a success, yet it will go Platinum selling only 300.000 copies or so (3 CD's).
