Sorry, no "dorky" post, just a dorky post

I have a few random thoughts that for some odd reason, I feel like sharing.

1. Lost: The first episode of Season 3 was everything I was hoping for. Loved it. This is the best show to ever be on television. To those getting frustrated with "waaaaah, they never give us enough answers," um, yes they do. We learned more about the Others from this one episode than we did the previous last 2 seasons combined. We finally got closure about Jack's past with his ex, Sarah. We learned where the polar bears and sharks on the island came from. I could go on. Anyway, yes - there are dozens of new questions raised, but that's what's so great about the Lost mystery.

2. The Killers: I will always feel a connection to this band, not only because they are good, but thanks to my Reynolds connection. Hearing their demos, seeing them with 30 other people (including Dave's parents) at Gabe's. I mean, "oh my gosh, I totally met and talked with Brandon Flowers, he was SOOO hot. I almost DIED! And so sweeeeeeeet." Yes, I'm a little uncomfortable with how popular they have become with the teenie boppers, but what do you do? Anyway, what do you guys think of Sam's Town? It has received a lot of "strong" opinions, which was inevitable with a second release from a band that blew up with their first. And Brandon F. didn't help things with all the talk about it being on the best releases of the past 20 years. Here's a nickel's worth of free advice to musicians. Don't ever say that kind of crap. Stick with "it's the best we have ever done," but don't go beyond that to compare it with other artists or past history. It just puts a huge target on you and people want to see you fail.
Anway, about Sam's Town. So definitely a bigger sound. But not really buying the whole, "they are completely ripping off Springsteen and U2." A couple of cringe worthy lyrics here and there. But overall I really like it. I would say it's Hot Fuss 2. Not that they haven't evolved their sound, but just in the fact that it's an album, like Hot Fuss, that has 4-5 great songs, with the rest ranging from OK to good, but, impressively, none that are bad. In the "great" catagory, I would put the title track, While You Were Young, Read My Mind, Bones, and Why do I Keep Counting? The rest are pretty good. The coolest thing of all: Tim Burton is doing the video for the next single, Bones!

3. For me to post a "Dorky" post, I would have to undergo hypnosis regression therapy to bring those memories back, as they have been buried quite deeply now for some time.
