Naturally, I can't help wonde...Howdy, GUILIE ~<br /><br />Naturally, I can't help wondering if you've decided to discontinue your involvement in 'BATTLE OF THE BANDS'. Apparently you've had a pretty full plate lately and when that happens, something has to give. Unfortunately though, by keeping a link to your blog active on my blog, I've been sending BOTBers to your site when there's nothing there to vote on.<br /><br />Currently there are, I believe, 5 links on my page to blogs that seem to be no longer participating in BOTB and I don't want to continue wasting people's time, sending them to places where no Battles exist. So, I'd appreciate it if you'd please get back to me and inform me whether or not you intend to continue with this blogfest.<br /><br />In fact, beginning with the October 15th round of Battles I am planning to adopt the same policy that Alex Cavanaugh employs for his blogfest 'Insecure Writer's Support Group'. And that is that in the future, whenever a blog fails to provide a 'Battle Of The Bands' contest for two consecutive rounds (the 1st & 15th, or the 15th & the 1st), the links to that blog will be removed from my site, assuming that the blogger has decided to drop out of the blogfest. However, of course, if that blogger later decides to rejoin, all they need to do is inform me and I will immediately replace the link to their site in my sidebar and on my individual BOTB page for the next round of Battles.<br /><br />I hope things are going well for you. And please let me know if you don't want the link to your blog removed from my next BOTB installment on October 15th.<br /><br />Bless And Be Blessed.<br /><br />~ Stephen <br />(D-FensDogG of the 'Loyal American Underground')Stephen T.

Sean Penn was a total jackass, and hell, he wasn't even a star yet. <br /><br />Much to my surprise, I'm voting for PHANTOM PLANET. I preferred their higher energy approach and that insistent drumming front and center in the mix.<br /><br />Guilie, I hope you're not going to miss the hot but refreshing Summer sex over at my place.

It was a great decade for me and so filled with everything including a lot of great music. This Browne song is a good one. I think Phantom Planet does a fine version, but I'd pick Jessica's version as the one I'd go back to for relistening pleasure. It's nice and smooth.<br /><br />Good to have you back with BOTB.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-62372374165828410752016-08-02T16:41:44.293-04:002016-08-02T16:41:44.293-04:00Such a great song and such an iconic movie!

You listed an incredible list of awesome artists from the movie, though. Whenever this flick makes it to Netflix then I'll be sure to catch it.
