    I’d think the SS spoof from that same time period would be better for this graph: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe3Hh8nvn4k
    :)

    shouldn’t the bottom one be 200%?

  3. Taylor says:

    Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in ’83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

      His business card…it has a watermark!

    • Billy The Squid says:

      “Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip to be Square”, a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band itself.”

    What the crap is that last one supposed to be??

  5. Fuzzalina says:

    The last one is the symbol for a chakra, and sometimes a lotus flower.

  6. Bryan H says:

    Sigh… the last one is just a cool shape I saw when you click Insert -> Symbol. It’s a little hipper than the other non-square ones because… it looked kind of cool.

    That’s all. Simple.

  7. someone says:
