Yeah, I watched the webcast and they rocked hard, really hard. Nels looked possessed

It would be preferable for him to be a responsible public official rather than looking for just political gain.

It's creepy

Hard to pick a favorite. For the earlier stuff, there are a lot of standouts: YEM, Divided Sky, Foam, David Bowie. Later on I always looked forward to hearing Tube and Vultures. Probably the best written song all around is It's Ice. The lyrics, melody, and instrumental section are amazing.

There goes the neighborhood

Wish I could go. Such a beautiful part of the world.

McLame's new not-so-subtly compares Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. And it says Obama's against offshore drilling like it's a bad thing

Great show. I love the radio show and I was surprised how well it was adapted to television. Ira rocks

Thanks for the info. I've notified my address book. I got a right wing chain letter for the first time yesterday about how Barack will raise taxes to over 50% of a middle class person's paycheck. 30 seconds on google and I know it's bogus. I don't get how ridiculous cliams get passed around. It's okay to not like or support Barack Obama, but ground it in truth not lies.

And I thought you were the oldest member of VC all this time...

Was hoping it was Ruben Studdard

Ricky Gervais, of course. There are lots of NPR podcasts on all types of subjects. EDIT: This seems perfect for himcspan Book TV After Hours

I like the E11 chord from New Morning by Bob Dylan: 022232 Great chord for resolving to an A

Half man. Half machine. All Cop.

They have to get there first

To me the destiny requests became removed from the song itself and took on a life of their own.

I second this request

Sweet! In these hard times, I need some cheap fun.

They did in 2003. There's a really good version of Bob Dylan's 49th Beard on the official compilation

Ooh, they're playing Tampa. If I can talk my girlfriend into seeing Deerhoof, I totally deserve a medal (but wouldn't the show be the prize) Shut up, voice in head!

Are those lyrics from a Flaming Lips song?

I remember reading about their use of iPods. Fishman's had a lot of Zappa. I remember reading Page having to listen to Stash before they played it. The sad part of this story is the problem wasn't just that thet weren't playing bust-outs; they also weren't really practicing anymore. Pretty good geeky interview with Brad about their use of iPods here
