I can record this on my computer. If it comes out okay, I'll do my best to put up a YSI link or something. It would probably be an mpeg capture. I can burn it to DVD at home, but am not sure how I would do it so others can too.

i'm rooting for Blu-Ray too, simply because for computer uses it holds 10 gigs more per disc (and 20 more for double layer) than HD DVD

 

Blu-Ray = 25 gig (single) 50 gig (dual)

HD-DVD = 15 gig (single) 30 gig (dual)

Trust me, if you do some research your mind will be changed. Plus, all but 2 studios are signed on with HD-DVD.

Check out this message board.

I bought one on Monday....and now a secret sale is 50% lower, 4 days later...I'll be damned.

However, IT IS AWESOME. Better than I thought. Make sure you have and HDTV....some try to hook it to a normal TV and it just doesn't work that way.

It's music. Do whatever the fuck you feel like. That's the greatness of it.

EDIT: for some reason I thought you were playing a solo show by yourself for the first time, instead of with a band. Anyway....

Scream scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it.

The Ring was pretty wicked too.

i remember a few years ago reading an article where they mentioned how much money tweedy and co. make off turing (vs. how much they actually make through the sale of album). anyone know where that is?

I think the majority of musicians/artists make their income from touring and merchandise sales, not from album sales.

Big Muff for distortion. Tube Screamer for overdrive. The tube screamer I have has a bunch of settings, which makes it really versatile. I can get a really Beatles--Revolution sound all the way to groovy blues.

 

never read anything as sexually explicit before, or after...

but it was ok.

Huh. I haven't read anything by him, nor did I have any idea that would be your reply. Are all of his books that way?

"Whatever went away

I'll get it over again

I'll get money

I'll get funny again..."

Those are some damn good lyrics.

I read that Henry Miller book because of the Wilco book. It was different...

How was it different?

11 issues for $1.00. Pretty damn good deal.

I remember seeing Unbreakable in the theatre -- total shit movie (I thought). Anyway, I was on a date and the theatre was about half full, but no one was watching the movie. Everyone was talking out loud. Never experienced such group disinterest.

You might take a look at these folks:

 

OnAir GT

 

...the GT supports full HD 1920 x 1080. It also decodes my digital cable signal, so I could bypass the cable box entirely... however, since my box has a firewire input (and the DVR), I route the coax through both the GT and the box.

I actually have this little gadget. It's pretty cool. It's basically a TV tuner for your PC and it runs on USB. I initially bought it because it can tune in HD signals and I didn't have an HDTV. The drivers are a pain to get working, but there is a walkthru on their website to get everything going.

The GT supports full HD 1920 x 1080, but will only record at 720 X 480, which is DVD quality. This may seem like a downside, unless you look at the system specs you'll need to edit HD video.

There is a little dongle for RCA inputs and standard cable jack, so you can record VHS tapes to your hard drive. I have done this for my dad, who is a professor, and wanted to compile all of his tape clips. It is really easy -- plug it in and hit record. It records to mpeg and has a counter to show how much hard drive space has been used. You get about 3 Gb per hour of footage.

Hope that's of some help. Feel free to ask any other questions.

"Blast Off" is better than anything post-Pinkerton.

Yes.

Eternal Sunshine is a polarizing one - I love it, I know people (whose tastes often reflect mine) who hated it.

Interesting, my group of friends all seemed to like it. Were your friends bored by it?

Me too.

Me three.

I had to stop watching Babel because the scene with the nanny and the kids in the desert was making me too upset. I just couldn't take it! (I Googled the ending.)

After my mother's very similar reaction, I chose not to watch that movie.

Wrong thread!

Wrong thread!

EDIT: Carlos, my mistake.

I agree with the above statements about the Pats. They are amazing to watch. Perfection. Execution. All flawless. Having said that, I really disliked the Pats for many years for a myriad of reasons.

But this year -- they bring the best football to the table I have ever seen. Ever.

I cannot wait to watch this game. Does anyone know the spread? I know the Colts are underdogs at home, which is unreal.

I wonder if the Refs are betting on where he'll go...

ranch dressing

Take yourself to Chili's and ask for a side of Avocado Ranch with your meal. It's good on everything and also the best dressing...ever.

Does the "Things that are wrong with this country" thread count?

That thread is longer than some movie scripts, so...

I turn off a lot of movies when I'm at home and do other stuff instead. Often I don't watch the rest of the film. This is a new thing for me.

could you explain this please? did they do that?

I think Glenn did that, among other strange, different and awesome stuff -- like stringing piano strings through hubcaps and stuff. Creative genius.

My GF and I left one of the new (Pierce Brosnan) James Bond movies because she was sick. Other than that, I have never left due to content or film breakage.
