You get to experience the nerdrection that comes from being right about trivia.

Would Mike Doughty happen to be the one who sang "Never Gonna Come Back Down"? It was always shown as "BT feat. M. Doughty".

Oops! Yep, it was Pepsi.

AMC really didn't push their ownership much back in the day. I wasn't even aware that Jeep was AMC until I became a real car nerd. A friend of mine had an '86 Cherokee recently, and the only indication was an embossed (colourless) version of the logo on the seat belts and key. Not even the letters "AMC" anywhere.

Congrats, agman.

It's more of a post than I expected from myself. I didn't realize how many softer artists I had to talk about. Mind you, I could make a post the same length about many other areas of music. If it's not pop or traditional country, chances are I like some of it.

No. Hint: Coca-Cola has also used this name on one of their products.

Sixty8. That does look like that Bugatti concept. It's not though.

Hmm, soft music, eh? Let me have a quick sort through the ol' playlist.I only know one Snow Patrol song, "Run". It fits the bill here though. So does 2/3 of the songs that Matthew Good has released. "The Fine Art of Falling Apart" in particular, moves me when I listen to it. Even System of a Down does a soft song now and then. Roulette, anyone? I'm also guilty of liking Andy Stochansky. He used to be the drummer for Ani DiFranco, then went solo. "22 Steps" is kind of "emo", maybe, but it's still a good song. I like Beck's album, "Mutations", which was acoustic stuff. "Cold Brains", in particular, is a good song. As much as I hate pop, especially pop from the '70s, I have to admit that "Words" by the BeeGees is a beautiful song. For some reason, I've always thought his voice kind of sounded like a nicer version of Mick Jagger in that song. Ben Folds has some good ones. Brick is a good example. David Usher is another guilty pleasure. "St. Lawrence River" in particular. Emm Gryner did a CD called "Girl Versions". Piano and female vocal versions of some very interesting choices of covers. Imagine the following all on piano with a good female voice. "Big Bang Baby" by STP. "Song 2" by Blur. "Crazy Train" by Ozzy. Limp Bizkit's version of Faith has made me appreciate George Micheal's original. New band I found called Nizlopi has some promise. I also found a song from a video, "Hey There Delilah" by "Plain White T's". Kind of a typical sappy love song, but I like the vocals. I also have a weak spot for Sarah Harmer. "Lodestar" in particular. Never realized how many of them were Canadian until I just went and researched some of them to put those Canadian flags in...

Jeep would still be Jeep, and we wouldn't have crap like the Compass.

OK, so I didn't get around to making another full "Devil's in the Details". That'll come, eh, probably later this week. For now, well I just found one of the weirdest concepts I've ever seen. Here it is, sans badges. Who knows what this is?

Not all women need makeup. The ones who do generally only need foundation to hide a bad complexion. Honestly, I prefer the ones who don't. Think about it - if women didn't wear makeup to begin with, there would be no surprises in the morning.

I was thinking of creating another one of these, tonight.

More Priuses than Yarises???? I bet you that's not true in Canada.

:AH-HA_wink: I am very sneaky sir.

...and so, WMJ finishes it off!

You understood the hint, but you got the wrong German SUV.

Nein!

I gave my opinion. It's not controversial, so nobody responded. Nobody notices the tree that grows quietly by the side of the road. It's the one that falls over on the powerlines that people see.

"Big Small Town" = Barrie?

Funny, I never noticed the eyeballs in the windshield before, I always thought of the headlights as the "eyes".

Well... *puts on positive hat* Front sliding doors are a cool idea.

Come to think of it, yes, aaantoine, you're right. I didn't remember that when I saw the commercials though. Guess they don't have to take out a copyright then.

I like... ummmm, hold on, give me a minute here... Oh, the wheels. That's it. Otherwise it looks like a clay model that somebody started and then gave to a 5-year old.
