    Radiohead vs Miley Cyrus

    "The Bends" and "OK Computer" were very good albums, but yes, Thom Yorke is a complete DB, and no, none of Radiohead's recent stuff is listenable even less good. Radiohead in 1997 was an interesting (I'd even say great) band; by 2007 they had long been an intolerable whine whose irrelevance was...

    Americana Defined

    I'm loving what you guys are coming up with! Now I"m thinking Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, and Brett Easton Ellis. Wow. Umm, Maharlika, are you seriously suggesting that Brett Ellis (f-ing "Rules of the Attraction" and "American Psycho"?!) is in the same literary...

    Americana Defined

    While I'm not insisting it must, "Americana" generally has a negative connotation associated with common Kitsch, and that's the normal usage, rather than "things that best represent the American experience" (or music, literature, etc.). The term refers primarily to generic "middle-American"...

    Did I make the right career choice?

    While it's not an answer, I know MANY attorneys & MDs (the other career paths you mention) who feel similarly, and they had to invest much more time and money into their professions. Myself I'm an attorney who tired of large firm business practice and moved to non-legal project management at a...

    Do you give money to people on the street?

    Almost never. Much better to give to a local charity/church/shelter that provides services to the homeless. While obviously no one panhandling is secretly wealthy/driving a Bentley, training the homeless to be ever slicker and more aggressive con artists with [usually bogus] tales of woe isn't...

    Any members with real pics of a person in a Tom Ford

    That "high waters" look, looks bad imo. Agree, looks marsupialed.

    Last House on the Left (Remake)

    "The Virgin Spring" remains a fantastic Bergman film and doesn't need to be update or "gore-ified." The original Last House was decent fare for 1972 horror, but hasn't aged well. The new Last House is just a cash-in for Wes Craven's production company, just as he made a...

    Best Burger Ever!

    The best of course are on my grill from ground chuck or top sirloin mixed with spices and cooked to medium. When I'm not grilling, I'd say Tommy's and In-N-Out Burgers, each of which I'd rank on the Friday night priority list immediately after a strange woman. In Jerusalem, we have MeatBurger...

    What music are you listening to lately?

    MGMT "Oracular Spectacular" Sufjan Stevens (some of the more interesting music of this decade; often great and never boring, even when he occasionally descends into goofiness that borders on annoying) Robert Plant/Alison Kraus White Blood Cells/De Stijl-era White Stripes Sufi Arabic music

    I'm a student looking to build a better wardrobe - where should I begin?

    Best to keep it simple: 1) Nice, well-fitting sportcoat (nothing too fancy--BrooksBros, RL, and Oscar de la Renta are easy picks, but there are many others) that look good over jeans, which looks sharp without taking formality to the toolish level. 2) Shoes--1-2 nice pairs of Paul Smith, Marc...

    The importance of stretching....

    Warm-ups are important, and dynamic stretching can aid performance and reduce the risk of injury, but as several other posters stated, static stretching before a work-out, and especially before you've warmed up, is at best a waste of time and may even increase your risk of injury. Even the...

    Your favorite suit label?

    If that was "the suits in my closet" full stop I'd be deeply envious, but those are just your favorites?! Damn, that's one fine collection! This is the order of my favorites in my closet: 1. Kiton 2. Brioni 3. Luciano Barbera (Attolini) 4. ISAIA Solo 8 5. Zegna made to measure 6. Borrelli

    Literature you wanted/were supposed to like, but just couldn't

    I'm chiming in as, while the stated topic is great, I'm horrified to read many of these postings. It's perfectly fine to not like, for example, "The Great Gatsby" (though I think it's great), just as I frankly find it really hard to get into most of James Joyce. But it says a lot about you, not...

    3 Days in Europe: Where to go?

    Nice, Monaco and San Remo are all beautiful and worth a trip, but I'd note that there are better beaches for far less in the EU. If you have cash to burn and want to hang out with b/millionaires (or really, their groupies and relatives, and those who flock to be seen with such), and want a nice...

    Your favorite suit label?

    I'm with the OP on RLBL--fantastic cut for me, classy, good material. I think "a good cut" really depends on your height/body type, however. I would call Corneliani "classic" rather than "generic," although I'm with you that I prefer BL's cut. Also agree that BL is going for a particular retro...

    Best players Currently in the NBA

    I'm amazed most of you guys aren't listing Kevin Garnett as top 5, and I'm not even a Boston fan. Is it because he's presently injured/not on the nightly highlights in the last few days, or because he was wasted playing in Minnesota for so long? He's consistently been one of the most productive...

    What the hell is up with this place?

    I'll just observe that in my months here, most of the inane postings, useless threads, offensive/racist content, and abuse/flame-wars have come from the Forum's "senior members." It's easy to blame all SF woes on the "noobs," and there's plenty of idiocy to go around, but if SF moderators held...

    I want sleek looking shoes under $500 new

    In terms of quality of construction and durability, EGs are some of the very best. I rate them much lower for comfort, and if the measure is "sleek" and "modern-looking" (the OP's stated desired characteristics), they're lacking compared to Ferragmos, and yes, I'd say...

    I want sleek looking shoes under $500 new

    You have excellent options with a $500 ceiling. I'd first offer that some of mid-range shoes are very well put together and sleek but well under $500 (pretty much any Steve Madden and most Mezlans and Edward Greens, and the top-line Mezlans and EGs can be found under $500 here, eBay, etc.)...
