That's sounds like fun.

It took me about 12 years to convince my wife to start introducing some colored lights to the tree. I always thought all white lights were boring. This year will be the first year having a toddler around the house with a tree. The over/under of it being knocked down is two and four for ornaments being broken.

Great Moments in Rock and Roll History
calvino replied to Ghost of Electricity's topic in Someone Else's Song
The Who performance from the NYC concert was great, too. Actually the whole concert was great. I guess the reunion Pink Floyd at the latest Live Aid should be mentioned. -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7xjF9I2HWE Above is clip of the new Darkness box set. It's from the UK but I assume it will be the same in the U.S. It does look pretty cool - I am on a computer with no speakers so I can't hear the footage, hopefully it's not too annoying.

I think he was being sarcastic. A lot of the recent shows are popping up, I am sure a recording will surface. I missed him completely on this tour, which is a bummer. From The Witmark Demos, I really enjoying the version of Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues - I always like it on Bootleg Vol. 1-3 version, but I like slower Demo version better. I never heard any of these demos before; great, great stuff.

I was always a big fan of his Tunnel of Love record, production (as with a lot of his stuff for me) was a bit sub-par, but I thought the songwriting was great. The Wild, The Innocent... and Nebraska are my favorites, followed by Tunnel of Love. Since Tunnel of Love, I think Tom Joad and Devil and Dust are the only ones I own. I enjoy Tom Joad more than Devil record.

2010 MLB - Playoffs and hot stove!

I like Harrelson, too. Sure there may be some silent innings, because he is pouting about something ...but I'm usually pouting, too. I like his old school expressions. I prefer listening to Farmer/Jackson (the radio side), though. Farmer and Rooney were the best. Was it GQ (or some other magazine) that called Harrelson the worst? -
I remember seeing Tarantula in a book store a while ago, I read some it while I was in the store and decided not to even to buy it. My library has two copies of it - even college students don't find it worth while to steal (yet alone check-out).

who do you think needs to be remastered?
calvino replied to Synthesizer Patel's topic in Someone Else's Song
That would be good. -
Are you going to the tomorrow's concert, Sir Stewart?
-
That was a hell of Illinois/Michigan game (albeit the defensive play of both teams was pretty much non-existent). I was hoping IL would pull it off. The Big Ten has had some great games this year.
-
Yeah, I hope he keeps putting out new music. I wasn't a huge fan of Together Through Life, but I think the songs off the record hold up in his live show. I'd even say he should put out another Christmas album.

How long do you prime your beans? Do you use a little the same boiled water that you will eventually pour in to make your cup? Thanks.

It was fun watching him run out of the dug out to argue...That's a nice shot ABC (see U2'z link) has of him smoking his pipe. -
No, no it didn't.

I got the year right (81) on the Althea, but way off month wise. I picked the Dec. Greek show. I had to go to Deadlists to search for the shows that they played Althea - would be this be considered cheating? The Athena played was from Hartford (3/14/81)

The Grateful Dead home site seem to be having some fun with a guessing game - I don't think I would be very good at it. 30 Days of Dead link

I heard of that, but not putting warm water in the carafe, then dumping it.
-
I never did that step before.
-
Just listened to Phish's rendition of Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus, it was great. I think I liked it better than last years Halloween show. The horns sounded better as well as the added percussion. I am not too familiar with Waiting for Columbus, the last time I think I listened to it all the through was while I was camping during the Terrapin Station shows in WI.
-
Never heard any of the New Earth Mud stuff. Downloading the Park West show, now.
-
My setup is a Bodum press and electric kettle and a Solis grinder. I think the electric kettle is key, boils the water in about a minute or so.
-
The French press is not that hard, perhaps an extra step of boiling the water and pouring in the carafe. I think the coffee taste better from the press. Alton Brown writes that you should put a pinch of Kosher salt to help eliminate the bitterness of the coffee, I have never tried it (I like the bitterness), but my friend states it works very well.
-
I meant to write Equal Exchange (instead of Fair Trade) - you can get it on-line, though I realize that it is not really useful when you need it in a pinch.

Great - now I have that Spice Girls song in my head - forgot the name of it, though.
