I still have one of those too. He sits on top of a huge pile of clothes in the bedroom.

No costume for me. I just wanted to post this: Runs out of steam after a while, but it opens well.

I'm going to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and guess that it's really him. (If so, welcome!)

Awesome.

I don't know exactly how jukeboxes are handled, but I would guess that there are companies that lease them to bars and other places, and the licensing is probably part of the lease. But again, that's just a guess. I really have no idea.

I was hoping this would be a "Slobberbone got back together!" thread. As others have said, a great, underappreciated band.

An awful lot of that sounds good to me. Especially this part:

Whiskeytown. Not every song, but there's plenty of Caitlin Cary goodness throughout their catalog.

$2.39 at exit 167 this morning. That's the cheapest I've seen around here in ages. Meh. I'm sure it'll be back up around $4.00 by next summer.

I hate to say it, but it's been this way for decades, and I personally don't have much problem with it (though I do wonder how much of that money any of the artists actually see). Any "public performance" of a copyrighted recording is subject to such fees. Any business that has been playing music over its speakers and isn't paying BMI/ASCAP fees is running the same risk as the place in the article. A frequent way around this is to subscribe to Muzak. They offer some fairly low-cost options that include BMI/ASCAP licensing and different channels of music, similar to XM or Sirius. I don't

I voted. I've seen talk of a White Sox deal for Chone Figgins. Also of the Cubs pursuing Jake Peavy, perhaps using Fukudome (among others) in trade.

After going back and re-reading this thread from the point where you began your tantrum, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on this, and further suggest that you find yourself a mirror. Full disclosure: I am not a Red Sox fan. And as of right now, I'm (temporarily) a huge Phillies fan.

Holy shit. I hope this guy is able to come back and play. That sucks beyond belief.

Just pointing out where the critique comes from. I happen to agree with a lot of it, but that won't stop me from voting for Obama, which is to say, against McCain.

I have: Yankees fans and Red Sox fans. They're maligned for different reasons, but the level of vitriol is generally quite a bit higher than that reserved for Rays fans.

In Michigan, be sure not to wear any candidate-related buttons/T-shirts/anything to the polls on election day.

Obama's a Wilco fan, and Wilco are Obama fans. Isn't that all you need to know?

White couldn't pull it off. The guy can barely sing as it is.

Yes. The original CDs don't really sound all that great. A set of remasters is long overdue. Considering that this was written about in the October issue of Mojo, I can't believe we haven't discussed it here before now.

Didn't see this discussed anywhere ... my apologies if it's already been covered. I imagine several of you have read the Mojo piece. http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/news/reissuerumors08.html A portion of that page is below ... more info at the link above. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - New reissue rumors: October MOJO reveals first solid details about remastered Beatles CDs Update (10/11/08) The October MOJO finally showed up in our neck of the woods.
