Am I the only one that thinks that "Everybody's on the Run" is a better candidate for an action movie soundtrack.

@mcopes73 Whatever suits you.

Hats off to Ryan Adams for his cover version of Wonderwall - he let Noel realize how beautiful this song actually is.

This performance by Noel is a hell of a lot cooler than some people on this thread are willing to admit. Not taking anything away from Liam, but be honest - would you rather listen to this performance by Noel or listen to Liam sing it at any point after 2001? Liam was great and part of Beady Eye'...

Seriously, how brilliant is the thread that Hitchens weaves here? Listening to some of his great debate moments is right on par with listening to my favorite music albums.

Kelly Jones has the most powerful voice in rock n roll. He writes big songs (vocally) and he can fuckin sing the shit out of them.... You dont see that much these days. Love it.

This is cool, but not better than the album version. Sorry...

Laura Marling is so fucking cool.

Went to see Beady Eye last night in Philadelphia. Great show. Liam sounds top and their first album is a pretty solid effort ... So on one hand, for the people who are trying to say he's nothing without Noel - that's just not true. On the other hand, I do believe that Noel is chuckling to himself...

I could never quite put into words why I was quite simply unimpressed with singers like Christina Aguilera or Kelly Clarkson ... Now I don't have to.

Ben Gibbard is a f***in genius. Take away the beautiful, anthemic music of many of his best songs and you're still left with some of the best American poetry written in our generation.

Even the way she announces what they're going to play gets blood flowing to my groin.

This is a fuckin B side ... I just can't imagine how much ass his new solo album is going to kick. He's letting Liam have his little Beady Eye party ... And then he's going to crush him.

Drop the music here and you're still left with a brilliant poem. Gibbard's a genius.

Liam has made a record that he can perform live. Period. He sounds great ... Although, I fear for his sake that a juggernaut of an album is forthcoming from his brother that's going to blow this shit away.

This song is incredible. I'll hold my breath to see if Liam can sing like this live. I think about how he sounded on the album version of I'm Outta Time - soft, smooth, controlled. But when he sang that song live, he just growled it through his nose like he had been singing every other song. If h...

Nevermind the music - which is stellar. The lyrics to this song stand alone as some of the most beautiful poetry I've ever read. Fuck the Bible ... I"ll take Ben Gibbard's creation account of the Atlantic Ocean over that Bronze Age bullshit. The man is a genius and Transatlanticism was the best a...

@TruthWatch I mean "superstition" by the dictionary definition. A non-religious example would be a basketball player who insists on bouncing the ball 3 times and then touching his right cheek before shooting every free throw. There would be no way to prove that this behavior increases his free th...

What a beautiful analogy Harris painted about what it would be like to be somebody who didn't believe in witchcraft 500 years ago. He is stunningly briliant at painting those kinds of argumentational pictures on the fly. We should all endeavor to converse in the key of Sam Harris.

I don't know how I feel yet about the album as a whole, but by my lights, this is the song of the year with a bullet.

I never bought into the debate, but for anybody who claimed that this band would never "live down" Iris ... I ask that they listen to Soldier.

@PurushaDesa Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's wrapped up somewhere in the root word of "moderator" ... to moderate. This guy eats up half the time telling us what he thinks instead of facilitating the conversation between the debaters. He speaks, all totaled, about as much as the debaters do. It's ju...

A moderator's job is not to eat up half the time by telling us what HE things about the subject. His job is to facilitate the conversation between the debaters. Regardless of his credentials, this guy is an awful moderator.

Hedge's argument is irrelevant because it's not representative of what we're dealing with. If everybody believed god is what Hedges thinks god is, then we wouldn't be going to sleep at night worried that a jihadist might get on the subway tomorrow morning. We have to confront what the vast majori...

Yeah, Jean's fuckin' bad ... It's so incredible easy to differentiate the smooth, methodical, logical, straight-forward talk of Harris with the fucking babble on the other side of the stage.

Religious people are like politicians. Never a straight answer. The host asked Jean straight up: "Is it just a belief/hypothesis or do you think the existence of a god is a knowable fact." No answer. She just danced around the question.

That's why guys like Sam Harris always come out smelling li...
