They should have released the breakdown. I refuse to believe they didn't know it when they dropped the lineup. But anyways it's not that big of a deal, I can sell my Saturday ticket to some Skrillex fan for 50-60

How much did Live nation buy hard for?!!?? I can't find a price.

It's a very sad read for me. Been attending HARD events since 2008, I guess this will be my last. It's crazy how one day one can state: "You can't franchise these events..." to "This purchase will help us expand..." It seems Gary Richards knows something is going down with the EDM scene.

friday pass now on sale
Best Western, Pagoda and Metro hotel near the park are all sold out on 8/3. Anything else nearby within walking distance or near the Goldline at another stop?
I need to sell my HARD ticket... it's one of the 2-day pass 'cards'. Anyone know if that acts as the actual ticket, or does it act as will call or need to be checked against ID? Trying to figure out whether this will be a hassle since I no longer have the credit card I used to buy it...
i'll buy it chiapet. how much?
has anyone got their tickets if they did the payment plan??
I did the payment plan and I got my tickets (cards) in the mail yesterday.
Thanks, nick. tmac: It's probably spoken for but will post here if that doesn't work out.
Ticket cards have arrived. But there was a little note in there that said "proceed to the gate with your ID." There's no way they can require everyone with tickets to be with the purchaser when they arrive. That's just silly.
Maybe they're just making sure people bring IDs with them as the event is 18+

the billing of his stage is embarrassing though
And as much as I like Squarepusher, probably won't watch more than 15 minutes of his set. Doesn't look that interesting
If anyone needs a 2 day pass, hit me up. $125. Couple of folks dropped from my group. Jesse and I will still be there though. I'm hoping Miike Snow puts on a better show than they did at Coachella.
jorge i will buy from you
Thanks for posting that. Are all stage lineups released for both days?

34 km west of Henty is the small village of Pleasant Hills (proclaimed in 1892). The township has won awards for the Lutheran Cemetery where the headstones are in German, the flora of the Esplanade in the centre of the village, and the public hall (1912). Made of local pine it features a mural, memorabilia and a barbecue site (the key is available from the store/post office). There is also a wattle-and-daub Lutheran Church built in 1888 and still in use today. Nearby is an old dam and some abandoned mine shafts from the goldmining days.Related to:

The first pastoral holding in the area was known as 'Dudal Cooma', taken up in 1866 by the Reighlan brothers. From Smyth's memorial stone you can see Doodle Cooma Swamp (2000 ha) a breeding area for waterbirds.
When the railway arrived in 1880 the stop was called Dudal Cooma. However, it led to confusion with the town of Cooma in the Monaro district. The name was changed to Henty in 1891. It was the name of a family of merchants and pastoralists who had been involved in the development of Victoria and Launceston. Edward Henty had leased Round Hill station north of Gerogery (south of Henty) in the early 1860s and today the town bears his name.Related to:

Henty Favorites
Favorite thing: Henty is also famous for its connections with the bushranger Dan 'Mad Dog' Morgan. 2 km west of town on Pleasant Hills Rd that leads to Lockhart is a memorial stone on the site where Morgan shot Sergeant Thomas Smyth in September 1864.
The new plaque, a bit of a balance to the seeming reverence that 19th century criminals are held in some parts, was erected by the NSW Police Service and reads 'A memorial to Senior Sergeant Thomas Smyth, aged 29. A member of the NSW Police Force shot by bushranger Dan Morgan in the surrounding hills on 4 September 1864. Senior Sergeant Smyth received a gunshot wound to his left shoulder and convalesced at the Imperial Hotel, Albury until 29 September 1864 where he haemorrhaged as a result of the gunshot wound and died. He is buried in an unmarked grave in the Albury cemetery. Dan Morgan was a murderer with a £1000 price on his head. Senior Sergeant Smyth gave his life while in the pursuit of Morgan who although a tourist attraction these days put fear in the people of the district in the 1860s.'
Fondest memory: There is a more spectacular version on a billboard nearby but it is inaccurate in its account of events.
Morgan had committed his second and third murders just a few months before he arrived in the Henty area. After the murders, and an outcry from the press, the reward for Morgan's capture was raised to £1000 and parties of special police were sent to track and capture him.
Senior Sergeant Smyth was leading one of the parties but Morgan outwitted them (he claimed he had watched the campsite for some time) and fired into Smyth's tent fatally wounding the policemanRelated to:

Sharknado 2 Star: "This Is the Most Important Film Ever Made About Climate Change"
April 8th, 2014
Ian Ziering, Tara Reid
Eight years after Al Gore taught the world about climate change, one film is hoping to pick up where An Inconvenient Truth left off. That would be the highly anticipated (but highly unscientific) upcoming Syfy TV movie Sharknado 2: The Second One.
"This is the most important film ever made about climate change," star Judah Friedlander jokingly told reporters at NBC's Summer Press Day Tuesday. "I want to be a part of this movie to help save the city."
A year after Sharknado took Twitter — and the globe — by storm, the sequel hopes to recreate that same buzz and break those same social media records — this time 3,000 miles away from sunny Los Angeles. "We went to New York and it's a whole new set of tinker toys," director Anthony C. Ferrante said. "It's the Statue of Liberty. Its Broadway."
TV's most memorable finales ever
Unfortunately, the movie's 18-day shoot took place almost entirely during one of the roughest winters in the city's history. "I've lived in New York for 30 years and this was definitely the worst weather I've ever experienced in 30 years," Friedlander said, "and we were shooting this summer movie."
Star Mark McGrath said the bad weather actually helped production in a few interesting ways. "I feel like we almost went to battle a little bit and that made us closer," McGrath said. "God was in on the special effects of the movie."
Added Kari Wuhrer: "New York is a character in the movie. Weather is a character in the movie. Sharks are a character in the movie."
Kelly Osbourne, Mark McGrath and more sign on for Sharknado 2
In addition to these characters, there are also lots of new faces in the form of Finn's (Ian Ziering) extended family. Wuhrer plays his sister, McGrath plays his brother-in-law and Friedlander portrays Finn's childhood friend. "It's a family kind of trying to deal with weird stuff," Ferrante said. "We've kept that same mandate. We always try to ground the characters as much as possible."
Although Sharknado 2 may take place in a new locale with new characters and new (and very problematic) weather, Ferrante said the sequel won't stray far from the original too much. One thing that stayed the same? The show's relatively small budget. "Each movie, you try to make it better. We try to perfect the tornado on this one even more because we want to make it more of a character," Ferrante said. "Some of the charm of the movie is that maybe some of the stuff isn't quite perfect."
The first film's signature amount of camp will also be abundant — which the cast and crew believe played a big part of the original's success. "Its unpretentious, it's fun and it's the type of movie, you can turn it on at any point and instantly be entertained and be locked in and want to finish it," Friendlander said. "It's very communal even though people might not be watching it in a theater."
Added Ferrante: "You're making a movie called Sharknado and if you don't embrace it, you have a serious problem."
Sharknado 2: The Second One premieres Wednesday, July 30 at 9/8c on Syfy.

AP critics split on Oscar best picture winner
Hollywood would love to give veteran Bening an Oscar, so she and hubby Warren Beatty can have a matching set. And Bening is very deserving as a stern, sardonic yet loving mom whose same-sex spouse cheats on her in "The Kids Are All Right."
But this is a year when Portman's cuckoo bird beats Bening's cuckolded lesbian.
Nominees: Christian Bale, "The Fighter"; John Hawkes, "Winter's Bone"; Jeremy Renner, "The Town"; Mark Ruffalo, "The Kids Are All Right"; Geoffrey Rush, "The King's Speech."
Christian Bale used to talk about how he envied the late Heath Ledger on the set of "The Dark Knight." As the Joker, a role that won Ledger a posthumous Oscar two years ago, Ledger got to carom around with wicked abandon in a supporting role while Bale had to remain all anal and repressed in the title role as Batman.
With "The Fighter," it was Bale's turn to carom in the supporting role. As boxer-turned-drug-abuser-and-criminal Dicky Eklund, Bale bobs and weaves and rants and brays around lead player Mark Wahlberg. Bale jabbers and pulsates with a ferocity that's truly surprising given the many stoic, tightly wound roles he has played.
He faces superb competition. Mark Ruffalo's prince of laid-back charm in "The Kids Are All Right," John Hawkes nearly out-Bales Bale for quiet menace in "Winter's Bone" and Geoffrey Rush practically steals "The King's Speech," a huge accomplishment given how extraordinary Colin Firth is in the title role.
But Bale does steal "The Fighter" from Wahlberg in the same way Ledger stole "The Dark Knight" from him. And now Bale will follow fallen pal Ledger as an Oscar winner.
Nominees: Amy Adams, "The Fighter"; Helena Bonham Carter, "The King's Speech"; Melissa Leo, "The Fighter"; Hailee Steinfeld, "True Grit"; Jacki Weaver, "Animal Kingdom."
Melissa Leo just would not go quietly, the way most moderately successful actresses do once they hit 40.
After presumably peaking as a regular on TV's acclaimed "Homicide: Life on the Street" in her 30s, Leo surged back in her late 40s and now 50s with two Oscar nominations, including this one for her role as the overbearing matriarch of a boxing clan in "The Fighter."
Actors love her, figuring if she can do it, why not them? Some may love her a little less after Leo paid for her own Hollywood trade ads to rustle up Oscar votes, a move that generally smacks of desperation.
But backlash from Leo's ads won't deprive her of an Oscar. Hailee Steinfeld will.
With a remarkable film debut, 14-year-old Steinfeld has vaulted into the ranks of child stars. Just like her character - a precocious teen who hires a lawman to track her father's killer in "True Grit" - Steinfeld shows poise and self-possession far beyond her years.
And this is the one category where both debut performances and child actors have had Oscar success. The youngest actors to win Oscars - 10-year-old Tatum O'Neal for "Paper Moon," 11-year-old Anna Paquin for "The Piano" and 16-year-old Patty Duke for "The Miracle Worker" - all earned their awards as supporting actress.
Steinfeld is about to join them.

He sings roughly but warmly, and makes up as many hooks as he samples...
There will be few albums released this year that are as exciting, artistic, and, yes, eclectic as this one, and it's scary to think of what Wyclef will be capable of when he gets all of the elements in their perfect proportions.
Although everything on The Ecleftic might not be for everybody, make no mistake, this album is ahead of its time. Forget about Britney Spears... Wyclef's done it again!
The album finds Jean refining his multi culti aesthetic, crafting straight up rock and reggae jams, creating invigorating, cliché free rap songs, throwing disparate musical elements together at every turn...

Brown to sign bill on bond money for renters, other services
Gov. Jerry Brown plans to sign legislation in San Diego today that will ask voters to spend preapproved bond money to provide rental housing and related services for veterans instead of restricting the funds to loans for buying single-family homes and farms.
"It speaks to the commitment we all have to stand up and create housing opportunities for veterans who put their lives on the line for us," Assembly Speaker John Pérez, D-Los Angeles, said in an interview. Pérez carried Assembly Bill 639, which would put the issue before voters in June.
Brown and Pérez will join other supporters for a signing ceremony at Veterans Village of San Diego.
Supporters say more than $1 billion in earlier bond authority has gone unspent while too many veterans sleep on the streets or struggle to pay their monthly rent, often going without other necessities. Phil Landis, president of Veterans Village, is expected to be on hand. He had lobbied for the measure, telling lawmakers in a letter earlier this year: "While the voter-passed initiative (in 2008) failed to help a single veteran buy a home, AB 639 would generate thousands of affordable and supportive apartments,"
The ballot measure would allow the Department of Veterans Affairs to use $600 million of previously authorized bond revenues to provide apartments and other services for veterans. The state would control about $530 million for loans to help veterans buy single-family homes or farms.
The state is expected to work with nonprofits and other agencies to use the funds to develop multifamily and transitional housing projects for low-income veterans and those who are homeless. To be worked out is how the state would cover the estimated $25 million in debt service when the bonds are issued.
California has the largest number of veterans and homeless veterans of any state. There are nearly 2 million living in the state, of whom about 16,500 don't have a permanent residence, according to government estimates. There are an estimated 1,500 homeless veterans in San Diego County.
Pérez said the state has an obligation to find places to stay for many veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. "We have a large population that needs new approaches," Pérez said.
Assemblyman Rocky Chávez, an Oceanside Republican and retired Marine colonel, said he's concerned about whether the state's veterans bonds will maintain high bond ratings under the new approach. "It's a good policy, but we need to work with the financial aspect," said Chávez.
Pérez said he plans to resolve issues with borrowing costs and bond ratings before the measure goes before voters. "There's still work to be done," he said. "But it's a tiny amount of money compared to the value of creating this other housing."
Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego, is expected to attend the event. "It's very creative thinking to find this pot of money that is being underused — and in most cases not being used at all," Block said. "It will be a bill that will offer a lot of help to the San Diego area. I don't see any downside at all."

Seawall Passes Key Test
By MAETZIG, Rob
URENUI residents say their popular domain has been saved by extensions to the seawall along the domain's waterfront.
In a first major test, the extensions — which are yet to be completed — have held out huge swells whipped up by the northerly storms of the past two weeks.
In March, the New Plymouth District Council voted to spend more than $400,000 building a 100m extension to the existing 300m sea wall at Urenui Domain after locals pleaded that the work was desperately needed before the next major storm arrived.
Now the locals are thanking their lucky stars that contractor Steve Fleming has been able to make enough progress with the extension project to hold out the sea.
"It has protected the most vulnerable part of the domain frontage from certain extensive damage," Urenui Beach monitoring committee chairman Neil Larsen said yesterday. Urenui residents were full of praise for Mr Fleming.
"He has had to battle the worst storm and high tide levels for some years. He has had to leave the job for periods when it has been impossible to carry on — and then see his previous days' work damaged by new high tide conditions.
"But Steve has done enough to protect the domain," Mr Larsen said.
On Sunday night conditions became so bad that huge swells over- topped the sea wall and ran into a nearby public toilet block. But adjacent baches remained protected.
Further along the beach, the existing seawall continued to do its job, fully protecting Urenui golf course from being inundated with water.
Down the road, Onaero seaside resident Bill Lockhart said the high seas had tossed rocks and other debris across the road and on to the lawns of baches. "The council (NPDC) has been out three times to clear the road to make it passable," he said.

Would becoming a Christian help with insecurity and anxiety?
Christianity to heal

You can't be a Christian unless you truly believe without any doubt, that Jesus died for all sin and God raised Him from the grave.

That's not a good reason to become a Christian. However, if you want to solve your problems by deluding yourself, be my guest.
It's up to you if you want to live a life of delusion*. If it helps you get better, then yeah.
*I mean deluded in the sense that you would be believing in God for the sake of your mental health, not that you actually believe which is what you're supposed to do.

I'm afraid that Christianity will not instantly make anyone a perfect well-adapted and happy person. It is, after all, not a self-help program that is about overcoming personal foibles, but a faith for the community of sinners that come before the face of God in order to forgive and be forgiven, to love and be loved. In that way, Christianity is not about personal growth at all. However, I would be lying if I said that no one feel strengthened by their faith in God, and find great comfort in faith together with the rest of the faithful in their church.
The most important thing, OP, is that God loves you unconditionally. He loves you as if you were the only human being in existance. God loves you not because you are strong, pretty, powerful, morally upstanding and clever, even though you may well be all that. God loves you because you are his child, and he is your father.
If you feel a longing for God, your father, then I suggest that you visit a church and join the worship there, talk to the believers there and their pastor/priest.
There's no point in denying that some Christian organisations do genuinely help people in need by convincing them to change their lifestyle and make them feel better about themselves, and that's a good thing, but the people who are helped by these charities are usually uneducated and suggestible, often homeless people who are in a bad way. Being told that there is someone out these who loves them and who is looking after them, being told everything will be OK if they clean up their act, is what these people need. I'm guessing you are not this sort of person OP. You cannot just become a Christian, because to do so without genuine belief will not offer you the comfort and solace many religious people do find. You do not need to pretend to be religious to feel more confident.
Cherrypie. If there's ANYONE who can tell you about anxiety, it's me. I used to suffer a lot from anxiety, particularly during classes (even if there was no exam). I'm pretty clever myself, but the anxiety always blocked the flow of my thought. When you focus on God, 100%- without a doubt- your anxiety will be cured. I'm so sure, because I'm a living example. God has taken a lot of my anxiety away- at least 95%, and in about three days! You see, there are some things, which by human effort, you cannot change alone. However, with God's power, anything is possible. And I mean it. Believe Cherrypie. But it's not about God working for you- you've got to want God's kingdom first. And that takes commitment. Being a Christian can be difficult, but it will always pay off.
God bless you. I pray that God's will be done in your life.

It's not a good reason to become a Christian, you don't just suddenly become one without believing all the Christian stuff. Becoming one for those reasons wouldn't really make you a Christian. So the best solution: agnostic atheism FTW

3D printing is a manufacturing technology that allows you to print three dimensional objects. The 3D printing process differs from traditional machining techniques because it uses an additive process instead of cutting away material. When creating objects with a 3D printer, you'll be able to create prototypes or full-scale productions.
3D printers take virtual blueprints from CAD software as a guideline for printing. The machine then reads the design and lays down layers of liquid, powder, paper, or sheet material in a series of cross sections until the object is formed. Everything is added in a sequential layering process so you'll be able to see every step of the creation process.

YourNews: LMU to host writer and musician
Lincoln Memorial University will continue its 2012-13 Appalachian Reading Series with Pulitzer-finalist Maurice Manning and acclaimed musician Sue Massek 7 p.m. Nov. 30 in the Arnold Auditorium of LMU's Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum on the LMU main campus in Harrogate.
Maurice Manning was born and raised in Kentucky. He often writes about the land and culture of Appalachia. His first book of poems, "Lawrence Booth's Book of Visions," was chosen by poet and judge W.S. Merwin for the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award. His subsequent books include "A Companion for Owls: Being the Commonplace Book of D. Boone, Lone Hunter, Back Woodsman," and "Bucolics." His fourth book of poetry, "The Common Man," was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2011. A new collection called "The Gone and The Going Away" is forthcoming. Manning teaches in the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, and this fall, he began teaching at Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky.
Sue Massek is a founding member and banjo-player for the Reel World String Band. Her writing and activism have been heavily influenced by her experiences at the Highlander Center, where she met and learned from activists like Rosa Parks and Pete Seeger. With the Reel World String Band, Massek has toured the USA, Canada and Italy and just finished their sixth recording project, "Coast is Clear." Her solo work has taken her to Guatemala and Nicaragua, but more often she is in Kentucky schools teaching diversity, disguised as folk music and dance. Massek's love for nature is a driving force in her life and many of her songs reflect her passion for protecting the environment. Her songs have been featured in films and plays.
In June 2012, Manning and Massek were both featured as part of LMU's annual Mountain Heritage Literary Festival.
"We are so fortunate to have writers and musicians of Maurice and Sue's stature living so close by," said LMU Writer-in-Residence Darnell Arnoult. "Everyone loved their presentation at the 2012 Mountain Heritage Literary Festival. It was so well-received we wanted to bring them back so the LMU and Tri-State community can have that same wonderful experience."
Works from both artists will be available for purchase, and they will be available for a book- and CD-signing after the reading. Admission is free and open to the public. For more info, contact Darnell Arnoult at email@example.com or 423-869-7074.
Lincoln Memorial University is a values-based learning community dedicated to providing educational experiences in the liberal arts and professional studies. The main campus is located in Harrogate.

They're so diverse, there is no best...and a lot of them are so different it'd be almost impossible to have a safe blind buy.
That said, 2Man is easy to recommend,
my favorites so far are Kyoto, Sequoia, and White.
CDG´s Line is very extense , as others....
It is difficult to make a stock / inventory of one single fragance of the line, if you do not know what is the best.
Please, give me your opinion about the best ,CDG, fragance in your opinion ,
I do not want to sample them. I do not like sampling.

Hard to choose. For me, CDG2 man. Lemony incensy, somewhat weird and avantgarde, but perfectly wearable. And perfect for the summer.
The line is so diverse and avant-gard that it's impossible to pick a "best". You should start first with the Incense series, the original EDP and 2MAN, then work your way into the rest.

First of all, it's very weird that you're on basenotes and don't like to sample. WTF? However, I'll play along. You said to only pick one, so I'll pick Avignon. Why don't you just go to the reviews section and look at the tallies?
Love CDG, they cover a lot of territory.

The multi-faceted inky floral aldehydes of CDG 2 never fail to please. The best ? - again, impossible to say within such a diverse house, but fairly groundbreaking when introduced and my personal favourite. Avignon is a worthy runner up.

Odeur 71.
But Avignon if you like incense or CDG parfum if you want brand classic that isn't a 'non-perfume perfume.'
- - - Updated - - -
You said mention just one, so Odeur 71.
Two, very good ones are:
Wonderwood by Comme des Garcons - Welcome to the wide world of woods! The interesting opening is a dank, forest tree scent, supplied by the melange of warm sandalwood, hints of zesty bergamot and anise-like, caraway seeds, earthy vetiver and creamy guaic wood. This impressive concoction is reminescent of a felled tree in a rain forest, with the attendant damp and green environs. Transitioning to the waiting middle, spicy pepper, ghosts of apple, plum and floral fruitiness from the cristalin, musky powder from the cashmeran, and savory incense enhance the woody brew. The awesome drydown with its rich cedar and enchanting agarwood tug at this lively heart, and is augmented by a charming patchouli, faintly bathing the cedar and oud in an air of mustiness, and a refreshing, dry cypress, with its hint of spiciness, exalting the pleasing, woody base. This high quality and exceptional composition has good projection, after some 4 hours becoming a skin scent, and excellent longevity.
Stephen Jones by Comme des Garcons - a somewhat cold and metallic scent, which augurs an astringent and detached, futuristic vibe, reminiscent of isolated indifference.
Initially one is treated to an icy verdancy from violet leaf, akin to grass clippings with a nuance of greenness from cucumber. A cool, mineral accord, akin to iron shavings and weathered peebles, swirls about. And, magical aldehydes impart their soapiness and effervescence. Transitioning to the heart, an antiseptic clove infuses the fresh opening with its smoky spiciness and a faint, charred-wood nuance. After a bit, a floral melange of sweetly spicy, vanillic carnation, sweet velvety rose, tutti-fruitti jasmine and powdery, cherry-vanilla heliotrope encase the scent, and segues to the awaiting base. Guiacwood, with its honeyed-rose sweetness as well as smoky and rubber nuances, commingles with black cumin with its pungent spiciness and hint of strawberry. An earthy vetiver, with its grassy and clumped-dirt vibe, presents. And, a clean aldehyde sweeps in with its freshly-laundered linen aspect. A somewhat enigmatic drydown ensues. This unique and unisex composition has average projection and longevity, 6-7 hours.
Artek Standard. Possibly the most criminally underrated niche fragrance ever as far as I'm concerned.
My favorites are:
Artek Standard
Dover Street Market
But if I had to pick just one, probably Dover Street Market. Or, Zagorsk. It's a tossup between those two.

Impossible task for me...sorry...
I couldn't live without the majority of their fragrances including Avignon, CDG2Man and Odeur 71...but a REAL Comme Des Garcons lover, should never be without Odeur 71, IMO.
Just in case you're into less "hyped" stuff, check Guerrilla 1, CDG EDP 2011 and SKAI.
...as I told you...impossible to pick just one...
Last edited by alfarom; 6th July 2012 at 09:11 AM.
For me? CDG EDP 2011 by a mile.
Then up next: Tea & Stephen Jones
COMME DES GARCONS, Comme des Garcons
The Original.
....Got me kicked out of "de Belhamel" in Amsterdam in '93: Even though it sounds easy, it took true fearlessness to bottle a fragrance in shrink-wrap plastic, use a barcode as a logo, and call it a "Medicament." (which, by the way, actually works) Now that's an achievement.
"...a Chacun son Mauvais Gout."
For me it's Luxe Patchouli - a dark explosion of earthy patchouli and take-no-prisoners immortelle. It's unlike anything else I know and one of my all-time favorites - but you must really REALLY like it to get it (you have to sample - get over it!), as it's ridiculously expensive...
"...a Chacun son Mauvais Gout."
Odeur 53 and 71
I was not going to comment on this thread; was just reading to learn, but as per usual "Le Mouchoir de Monsieur" bumps the ante and takes an interesting topic to a daring new level. Now I am going to remain incomplete until I get my hands on a bottle or two of CDG. I have never seen it here in Montreal, but I have made it my mission to locate, purchase, and experience "the intricacies of the scent". This type of thread and interesting commentary is why I am a loyal Basenotes afficionado. Thanks to Aldo for asking, and to all the others who replied.
I haven't sampled all of them yet but these are the ones I can recommend trying:
Artek Standard
Odeur 71 (initially disliked it but now it clicked and I appreciate it very much)
Zagorsk (love it but not a versatile fragrance at all)
Avignon (very good but I prefer the much brighter and colder Zagorsk)
Garage (I like it a lot, smells just like a garage)
Laurel (very nice peppery laurel, very kitchen cupboard-like. Malle's French Lover is way better though)
Wonderwood (nice but a bit boring too)
Play (nice enough)
CdG 2
Monocle Scent one: HINOKI
CDG Eau de Parfum
CdG Man 2
CdG 2
my current top five (always in transition)
Dior Eau Noire
HdP 1725 Casanova
eau de gloire parfum d'empire
Dia man Amouage
comme des garçons man 2
I love CDG 2
My preferred perfumes:
57. I 'clove' Incense by Le Parfumeur à l'Ancienne
Petite Chérie by Annick Goutal
16. Eclipse des Senses by Le Parfumeur à l'Ancienne
Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss
CDG 2 gets my vote. It's a versatile & unique modern unisex. The bottle looks & feels great when purchased in the flat silver bottle (note: this fragrance is also in the Happy Pillow packaging & CDG2 is different than 2Man.)
Avignon & Kyoto have been mentioned but I found them cold/stark & linear & I can't imagine finishing full bottles of either.
"To see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower..." - William Blake
Odeur 53
I've only tried 2 Man (owned and sold) which didn't impress me and Wonderwood that I didn't like anywhere near enough to buy.
so far "Kyoto"
Kyoto is my favorite but I tend to wear Sequoia and Vettiveru more often. So many from the house I haven't yet tried though.
Incense Series : AVIGNON and also 888!
I wear 2 (not MAN) more than the others so I guess it's my favourite at the moment.
As I only have tried Avignon and Tea, Avignon for me. Tea is pretty neat too though.
"Histrionic Disorders" aside, it actually does comfort in the case of a grippe. It was recommended as a pillow spray in this instance. Other "disorders" it seems to effectively soothe are headaches and nervous malaise. There were others, I just can't remember. Not being a daily "user" of this....ehm....drug.....we can not rely on my own experiences to ascertain weather or not it treats Histrionic Disorders: It may very well do. I'm afraid it has just a slight bit too much presence for me to make daily use of it, and since it's launch in 92/93 (?) I've only gone through about four bottles. I tend to have recourse to it when approaching a kind of "alternative" setting where something classic would be misunderstood: That's just one of the things that sets CdG apart and makes it truly great: Their scents, for the most part, are so original that they tend to noticeably augment the transcendent quality of any given atmosphere: To me, they are "reserved" scents. The only one I use typically every day is Series 3 Red "Carnation" as I love this on my cotton pocket squares in the summer. Avignon & Zagorsk are the two others that get used regularly by me for religious environments. The rest of the collection I keep on hand for archival purposes, without really wearing them, per se. One of the most remarkable things about CdG is their longevity: It irks me to witness how one spray of anything by CdG will last indefinitely, while 25 sprays of a Guerlain, even in extract, has a limited life span of mere hours: When a price comparison is conducted, it comes to light that CdG is actually a kind of bargain: The incense series, especially, are true "perfumes," in the old, antiquated sense: a tiny wee spritz is all that is required, so one bottle might last years, even if worn weekly. I find the same to be true of CdG the Original. These are scents for unusual involvements in the presence of an artistically inclined audience: There isn't anything "Classic" about them. I love, for instance, how "garage," as is pointed out above, actually does smell like a garage, but in such an appealing way it becomes very sexy. Be all of that as it may, I still maintain that CdG Original is by far the most impeccably wrought of them all, start to finish, and there's some *very* stiff competition in the range.
"...a Chacun son Mauvais Gout."
My favorite would probably be Kyoto, with 2Man, Wonderwood, and 71 next.
Odeur 71 - the most definitive fragrance of Commes des Garcons. If someone were to ask me what's so great about CdG, I'd say, "Well, let me tell you about this one they have called Odeur 71 . . ."
The Odeurs are olfactory fine art. The incense line is magnificent. 2011 smells like brown pakcing tape! (WTF!?) and Wonderwood is much more contemporary and wearable (it's a more concentrated version of Gucci Rush for men) beautiful but less weird than the rest.
2Man is prob the best bet to buy if you don't want to sample.
God Save the Queen (never saw the light of day)
Kyoto or Wonderwood, Wonderwood or Kyoto, Kyoto or Wonderwood, hm it is then Zagrosk.
I would not want to be without Avignon.
Comme des Garcon is the kind of line that you don't want to have only one! Who wants only one. Any of: Jaisalmer, Kyoto, Hinoki, CDG EDP, Sequoia, Palisander, CDG 2 Man - are all finer than anything else you might find at the designer fragrance counter.
I find this easy. Burnt Sugar. Best bottle, best fragrance. Sadly discontinued.
I think some people make the mistake of thinking there are better or worse scents. But (hopefully) most here on BN know it doesn't really work that way. I mean, yeah, there is some garbage out there, but when we're talking about at a great line like CdG, there is no such thing as a best because different people are going to prefer different things. So, to the OP: I can tell you what my favorite is (2 Man), but unless you like the exact same things I do, you'd have to sample it to find out if you'd like it too.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
They switch depending on my mood but "2" is the one I find myself reaching for most often.
I cannot choose just one as others already mentioned. The ones that I often use are CdG2 and CdG3.
Original EDP, Avignon, Skai, 2Man...I am in love with the smell of Ouarzazate but it turns into a faint whisper within an hour
White is my favorite
Avignon. Several other good ones, but this is the epitome of incense IMO. I will probably never be without it. A great fragrance to wear on halloween too!
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
2 MAN & Avignon
2 Man is excellent. It would be my pick. The trio of Kyoto, Avignon and Jaisalmer are all excellent as well and really challenging to choose between. It's such a tough call. But, overall, I'd go with 2 Man.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!

Expressing concern over possibility of deficient monsoon, members of various political parties in Rajya Sabha today urged the government to take appropriate steps to ensure that people, especially farmers do not suffer.
During a short duration discussion on deficient rainfall, Congress member and former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh said the all-India figures till July 7 showed that monsoon has been deficient by nearly 42 per cent this year. He said if rainfall did not improve, the situation would become very serious. A similar situation prevailed in 2012, when an EGoM was constituted by the UPA government then. This government, Ramesh said, is "allergic" to GoMs or EGoMs and added that many decisions taken by the UPA were relevant, like extending number of days in which employment was provided under MGNREGA from 100 to 150 days.
Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said there has been less rainfall due to which people are facing problems. He demanded that a Supreme Court directive on restoring water bodies and wanted the government to waive interest on loans taken by farmers. Bhupendra Yadav (BJP) congratulated the government on immediate steps taken by it and attempts to communicate with states to work out contingency plans. Brijesh Pathak (BSP) expressed concern that small rivers are dying and said the government should consider waiving farm loans. K C Tyagi (JD-U) also demanded loan waiver for farmers and steps for providing cheap fodder, improvement of PDS and restoration of pools and ponds.
Voicing concern over less rainfall in the country and its impact on the farm sector, Sharad Pawar (NCP) sought adequate support from the Centre to the states to tide over the impending crisis. He suggested that government should also give directions to co-operative banks and NABARD to help farmers in loan and interest payment. The former agriculture minister also suggested preparation for Rabi to meet any shortfall arising out of the failure of Kharif cultivation.
Besides, states which have shown significant output in rice and wheat cultivation should be adequately supported, he said. He said as against 24 million hectare, sowing has taken place in only 17.5 million hectare till now.
Citing Indian Meteorological Department, he said the rainfall deficit stood at 43 per cent in June even as it had forecast good rainfall in July and August. D Raja (CPI) cautioned the government against taking any excuse for not checking price rise. He favoured sharing of river water between various states to tackle the drought like situation in the country.
Satyabrat Chaturvedi (Cong), Baishnab Parida (BJD), C P Narayanan (CPI-M) favoured devising mechanism to handle droughts in the country effectively. A W Rabi Bernard (AIADMK) sought replication of drought relief programme implemented by the J Jayalalitha government in Tamil Nadu. K P Ramalingam (DMK) favoured a separate budget for agriculture sector. Y S Chowdary (TDP) said sowing has taken place only in 25 per cent of the area in Andhra Pradesh because of rain deficit and urged the Centre to draft a contingency plan. Tarun vijay (BJP) and Avinash Rai Khanna (BJP) also spoke.
