  1. thanks! I'll check a lot of this out over the weekend. in what vein would you say most of his stuff is? (I realize that's a difficult one to anwer--people ask me the same about wilco and I end up scratching my head and making a mix cd...)
  2. trying hard to find tix as the sat. one-day passes and the 3-day passes are sold out. ebay is killing me...
  3. are these the ones they recorded in Willie's studio? I'll have to check the ones I have at home and give them a re-listen. I remember enjoying them alot the firt go-round...
  4. might want to check up on oil price history: link
  5. This morning in the car I turned on the radio to a local houston talk radio channel, and overheard the host and his female sidekick discussing some Guitar One magazine list that's supposedly coming out. Amidst the filler banter, he noted that Dylan's new record was no. 1 on the charts, and made the follwing statement: "is there anyone more overrated than Bob Dylan?" I managed to keep my car on the road as shock, anger and a feeling of existential angst rolled over me, and the program went to commercial break. When they came back from the break they had Night Ranger's "Sister Christian
  6. good night all. (he says with cat purring on lap)
  7. Cat Experts? When I got home this evening, I found that my wife's cat had gotten into my wife's sliding door closet in the bedroom (this, as the cat has been told, is a "no no"). When the wife got home, I ratted out the cat, and my wife said "well, I've heard that cats, when they're going to die or give birth, tend to get into closets." Is there any truth to this? The cat's not pregnant. Could the end be near?
  8. A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (5 seconds short...) Visions of Johanna
  9. what was the leasing agent doing in your apartment?
  10. I've listened to enough clips to realize I need to get some of this guy's material, where would you guys suggest one start?
  11. Life has been so unfair to poor ms. hilton and her privates.
  12. well, to be fair, I did graduate with an English major, but I have no authoritae here at work to consult as to the proper pronunciation of "ction." I was actually poking fun (or trying to) of the fact that there seem to be very few hard and fast rules of English grammar and/or pronunciation anymore, as they have become viewed as racist, or sexist, or some kind of "ist."
  13. as a former English major, I can decisively and authoritatively state that it could be all of the above.
  14. who will be your (collectively) pick for scapegoat once he's gone? you kind of get the feeling that Rumsfeld has never uttered the phrase "my bad" in his life, no?
  15. my personal favorite would be Strongbad's email
  16. I've played a tele since the early 90s, and dozens of pedals with same. As with any guitar/amp setup, some pedals work better than others, and all of them are going to be based on personal taste. That being said, according to the types of music you described that you'll be playing, I'd recommend: --Overdrive: (I think the fulltone pedals are as good as it gets on overdrive, but if you check out harmony central or any other pedal boards, you'll find thousands of opinions on the hundreds of OD pedals out there. Boss has some decently priced models also, like the OS-2 Overdrive/Distorition,
  17. shockingly this is a term of art which the Houston Texans need not bother learning...
  18. from the article: "After confirming that Islamic Law considers Blasphemy without repentance as a capital offence, I stated clearly, 'Under the Islamic law, Muslims are bound to keep within the limits of the law of the country in which they live, providing that it does not restrict the freedom to worship and serve God and fulfil their basic religious duties (Fard
