    2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Yellfest

    Are we ever going to see any synthpop bands get in? I supposed Kraftwerk would get in before any other electronic/synth type bands, but Depeche Mode should get in, IMO

    Sports reporter -- Corvallis (Oregon) Gazette Times

    This position has been filled. Jesse Sowa, formerly of the Albany (Or.) Democrat-Herald, will take over the OSU men's basketball beat, other OSU coverage and high schools. Kevin Hampton moves from basketball to OSU football. Sports editor Steve Gress is also working football.

    Concerts thread: Best/Worst/Next/Last one you attended?

    Last: Devin Townsend Project at the Hawthorne Theater in Portland..Townsend is the former Strapping Young Lad lead singer/guitarist. His DTP stuff is technically also metal, but much different. Great stuff and great live. Check him out. Next: Rush in late July (unless something else pops up in...

    What is "Pulp Fiction" ... about?

    Since Tarantino's acting skills (or lack thereof) have been part of this topic, I'll weigh in that he's actually not bad as Richie in Dusk Til Dawn. He's horrific in Four Rooms, however.

    Best guest appearance, musical division

    Another guest on another Foreigner song: Thomas Dolby on Waiting for a girl like you (although he was an unknown at the time).

    Love the artist, hate the song

    The whole old Rush good, new Rush bad thing is a common argument among Rush fans, so I get it when people don't like most or all of the stuff after Moving Pictures or so, but don't dismiss Clockwork Angels. It really is a pretty damn good CD. As far as the subject: Rush, Superconductor

    Worst Team to Win a Championship

    BYU. By far. IMO, that team would not be able to defeat one college football champion since then. Most games would not be close.

    Gannett-anigans

    Is the Wilmington paper still looking to fill this position or has it simply disappeared now that Brooks won't be going there?

    Brand loyalty

    Cheerios was mentioned earlier and I concur. But not because I won't eat other cereal. It just has to be a national brand. I absolutely loathe store brands such as Tastee-Os. Also Irish Spring for shower soap. Not a big ketchup guy, but Heinz when I do use it.

    Can this be bylined? Or can it NEVER be bylined?

    Do the readers really think that a reporter was there if a story has a dateline, or does it show them where the event took place? I cover a DI men's basketball team in a major conference, but we rarely travel unless it's an easy drive. Instead, I write the away gamers from the radio/TV. I don't...

    2012 Academy Awards thread

    Those of you who haven't seen Hugo, go see it. Fantastic film. I am disappointed Michael Shannon (Take Shelter) and Ryan Gosling (Drive) weren't nominated, particularly Gosling.
