  1. On musicnotes.com they have sheet music that you can download for about $5 per song. The songs they have for piano are Hummingbird, Theologians, Hell Is Chrome, and What Light. I looked at the previews and these look like the real deal. Hummingbird and Hell Is Chrome would be nice to have. I might pick those up.

  2. Are there any rules about where a band can play beofre and after Bonnaroo?

     

    I know with Lollapalooza, they had some sort of "can't play anywhere within 500 miles 1 month before and 1 month after ... " type of thing (don't quote me on that clause, it's just an example of a restriction a band accepted when they agreed to play Lolla).

    I don't think so. Phish is playing Knoxville the day before Bonnaroo.

  3. This is my second year with MLB.TV. Last year I had the regular; this year I upgraded to premium. I upgraded a couple days into the season; even the regular is better than last year. The picture is much clearer. The premium is worth the small jump in price however. A few things that stand out on the premium service:

     

    -It's HD when available. I have a S-video and audio cables connecting my laptop to my TV. Pure heaven. I highly recommend doing this. There is a plugin that comes with the premium that makes it really clear.

    -DVR function. I usually have a few beers when I watch baseball, so my bladder loves this. Also when you mess with your IP to get in-market games, your connection usually slows down. With the DVR function I can just watch the game a couple minutes behind and avoid any skipping

    -Picture in picture, 2 games at once, 4 games at once. The 4 games at once looks cool but I don't see myself using it much. The other two are great when I'm following 2 games at once.

    -Fantasy fans, you can input your fantasy roster into MLB.TV. When your guys come up to bat, it will notify you so you can flip to them. Pretty rad.

     

    In addition to local blackouts, there are national blackouts. They are basically Saturday afternoon (when games are on FOX), Sunday night (ESPN), and playoffs. Send you IP someone overseas and you will be able to get them. Also the package comes with Gameday audio or whatever it is called so you get every game on radio.

     

    If your favorite team is out of your market, it's a must have.
