Simple Plan just keep getting better and better......

Without a doubt one of the most popular modern punk rock bands today, the Canada based Simple Plan continue to impress me with their fantastic albums and brilliant live shows. This DVD, in particular, shows exactly why this group is at the forefront of punk rock today. It is quite simple: if you are a fan of this band and you haven't yet bought the DVD, punch yourself for not owning it yet, dig out twenty or thirty bucks from your wallet or purse and go and purchase it. If you happen to be one of the few unfortunate people who doesn't own a DVD player, buy it anyway just for the CD version which features every song they performed.

The reason why Simple Plan are a favourite among punk bands these days, is because they are the voice of every angst-ridden, troubled teen out there. They cover all aspects of youth culture, eg. love ("I'd Do Anything", "Addicted"), broken relationships ("I Won't Be There", "You Don't Mean Anything"), family issues ("Perfect"), general stress ("God Must Hate Me", "Untitled") and of course, partying ("Jump"). Every teenager who has these sort of complications in their life, has a form of emotional release when they listen to Simple Plan. The listeners connect with the band through their heartfelt and emotional lyrics. Oh yeah, and they just happen to make some kick-a*s music too.

This Live DVD/CD set captures the group at their best, as they perform their most popular hits in front of a ten thousand plus crowd in Orlando, Florida at the MTV Hard Rock concert.

My personal favourite on the DVD, is "Perfect", their closing track. I believe every teenager on the planet can relate in some way to this song. Everyone has issues with their parents. The song starts off as an acoustic version, with Pierre letting the crowd provide the vocals. This is fantastic to listen to. Knowing that everyone out there feels the lyrics and connects with them, and singing them out as loud as possible, is enough to send a shiver up AND down your spine. After the audience sings the first chorus, the music kicks in and the band rock out. Pierre takes over and delivers the rest of the song.

"Perfect" is the stand out song for me, but the entire DVD is just dead-set fantastic.

The only negative thing I have to say is about the CD. The tracks "Shut Up" and "Me Against The World", two of the best songs on their 2nd album Still Not Getting Any, don't go for the full song. For example, "Shut Up" only goes for 1:54 mins and it automatically finishes right after the first chorus. "Me Against The World" ends after Pierre says "say what you want to, we'll never let you in..." and goes straight on into "Crazy". Apart from these two small mistakes, the album is superb. The DVD is even better. It captures all five members at the peak of their talents, lifting the roof off with their insanely catchy music.

And there just happens to be acoustic versions of three different songs on the CD. That just tops it off.

I reckon Simple Plan will be around for years and years to come.

I really enjoyed Leslie's newest,proof she just keep getting better and better. Alot of the material is common sense,yes, but she presents it in a doable,positive and throughly understandable 6 week program. Each week focuses on a different habit and highlights a certain food in the weeks Food Focus. Proof that small changes can yield big results! For me,week 3 was especially helpful in focusing on portion control,the advice and tips were simple but very effective, no calorie,fat or carb counting involved in this plan and that was a welcome relief to me.

  Great book,highly recommended,especially if used in conjunction with her fabulous walking workouts.

I have just finished reading the book and found so many common sense statements. I was amazed at how simply put the instruction are. The approach to the plan seems ez to follow and I look forward to putting the plan into action.

Thank you for coming out w/a lifestyle change I feel I can incorporate into my life.

Stay tuned to my next installment of my progress.

This story is getting better and better.........

Ok, sometimes a series gets old after 7 or 8 books. Or an author takes on an old plot backdrop, like in Mirror, Mirror from Star Trek (except it was pretty new 50 years ago) and it's just ho-hum. Or, an author can't keep cranking out 500+ page books that are worth reading.
Well, Gini Koch certainly doesn't have any of those problems!!!!!
OMG, I just finished Universal Alien in one day! Only being able to afford one book per month, I've been buying 1 Alien book a month for.....well, forever! And I try to wait as long as possible to read this one. I made it 4 days this time. Reading the back cover, I was holding my breath, cause this is a tried and true Sci-Fi backdrop.
But just like Kitty, Gini, you grabbed this plot, beat it within an inch of its life, made it your best friend, and went on to kick major literary butt!!!!! These books just keep getting better! I really couldn't stop turning the pages. So, the only improvement you can make is start using that hyperspeed and start cranking out one of these every month!!

MR WILL DOWNING has again taken me by complete surprise with this tantalizing release entitled "TODAY".I've gotten to understand it's part of a trilogy... "YESTERDAY" and "TOMORROW" will soon be available.. This is true innovation!!. We will have to buy three albums to end up with one!! because there's only four songs on each!!.
Nonetheless the songs on "TODAY" are as smooth, sweet and sensuous as ever, well written, arranged and produced. WILL is sounding as good as it gets. He is really the  only true R&B survivor to date!!. I own all of WILL DOWNING'S albums and like good wine,he is improving on something already grand!!.

The first song, "ONE STEP CLOSER" is a bouncy,smooth groove. Then comes.. "SEXY",it is my most loved effort here..It's so sweet,smooth just so sexy!! done as only WILL can.
Third is the positive, praising "BLESSING",  complimenting that special someone.
Topping off this project is sexually laced, "LIKE LAST NIGHT", real groovy, this one is good,very,very good...and that's it!!. Is it enough? sure not!!!. It is like good love cut short or getting one teaspoon full out of one gallon of your favorite ice cream!!!. I'm still yearning for more!!!. Thank god, more is on the way. Somehow you get more time to enjoy the songs even more 'cause there's only four.
Go get it..you're going to enjoy it..Great things comes in small parcels...

Sweetie... you have done it again. I just fall in love with your characters.... they speak to me and make me want to keep reading their story to be with them as they find their direction and happiness in life. I love that you make me forget the world and live in the book.

Oh Mal... where do I begin. Mal has been with us for a while now in Cedar Tree but he is such a mystery. Good at his job and silent in so many ways. He keeps himself at a distance with everyone. Even his family. We have seen a change in Mal from his life of crime to a man of justice but we had not yet seen him truly happy with life. Watching him develop his feelings for the little mousy woman who he is supposed to protect is something else. Mr. Calm cool and collected can be seen tripping up and flailing like a fish out of water. Completely out of his element and funny as hell on occasion.

Kimeo has put a new meaning to not letting people in. When life treats you the way she has been treated it is not a wonder. However, she is still a spitfire or at least tries to be. Strength and courage are needed to survive that kind of life. When she finds herself being protected by the GFI gang she is absolutely overwhelmed. That last thing she expected was to make the best of friends from this crazy situation she finds herself in. When she finally realizes that Mal might be the real thing, she is slapped with another surprise.

Can they get past this newest hurdle?  Will they attack it together with her new found family of friends or will she find herself alone and trying to survive the aftermath? Will Kim and Mal get their HEA?

What a wonderful addition to the Cedar Tree Series. So does that mean that Neil is next????
