umm... well, yeah, since they've been doing it since the early-mid 90's, i dont think built to spill are copying the slip either. as for the other way, perhaps "influenced" as opposed to "copied"?

this is an old and constant debate within Canadian politics... the timing of this is interesting, with the bloc forcing the motion and the liberal leadership convention not far away, but it seems to be mostly posturing, as a lot of experts are saying these are just words with no real legal merit. i ...

you cant expect much from someone who isnt even willing to try to think about it. What precisely does it mean to “feel like Dylan Thomas,” as Brad Barr claims to on “Airplane/Primitive”? Is one to surmise that he feels dead? Alcoholic? Welsh? Nope, just that “It’s the day before the rest of my life....

ya, i have a show where while introducing the tune brad says it's going to be on the upcoming album... so, i guess it was recorded for the album, originally.. wonder why it got cut? too similar a vibe to suffocation, maybe?

at any rate, i grabbed it off itunes last nite and it sounds great.

nah, i think you'll be fine, man.... i mean, my personal opinion is that the fx3 is better - mostly because of the stabilized lens, it's just a necessary feature for me in a p&s style camera - but really, the sd630 is a good camera and it'll do a good job for you.
