I am sure there is a thread for this somewhere on here, but I didn't see one. So here are my lastest movies coming from the glorious Netflix:

1 Growin' a Beard (ariving tomorrow...a film about a beard growing contest)

2 Wordplay (great little Doc about the New York Times crossword puzzle)

3 Rock School (The school that inspired School of Rock)

or just be my Netflix friend:

Be my netflix friend!

I love the inner island flashback episodes...like the one where we learned about the tail section. I can see the last episode(s) of the series all being like this. Anytime they shake the format up a bit, it keeps me interested.

Wouldn't it be cool if Locke's "dad" somehow ended up being the real "Sawyer"

It will be a glorious way to burn a massive amount of money though. I give them credit for the ambition. And I would love to see it.

As cool as I think this will be, I bet it will flop. So, catch it fast when it does open. Des McNuff did the Tommy musical, and it was awesome.

Here are the confirmed acts so far (per leaked artist iteneraries, etc). I got this from the Lolla message boards (which were right last year)

Pearl Jam

Lupe Fiasco

The New Amsterdams

Jack's Mannequin

Son Volt

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Charlie Musselwhite

Peter Bjorn and John

!!!

The Roots

Daft Punk

Ghostland Observatory

Rhymefest

David Vandervelde

LCD Soundsystem

Peter DiStefano

Rushmore

Almost Famous

High Fidelity

The Big Lebowski

The Graduate

I don't know if we'll ever see Jacob but I totally imagine him being played by Harry Dean Stanton. How creepy would that be.

After blowing up that building and killing eye-patch guy I was totally expecting for Locke to throw a rock and kill Claire's bird at the very end...or tackle Jack so he couldn't enjoy his endzone celebration.

Who are some of your favorite Irish or Celtic Bands?

While these guys don't actually come from Ireland, I have always enjoyed the Wild Colonial Bhoys from MN. I'm flying to NYC this weekend to see them play!

Wild Colonial Bhoys

They are playing at:

The Parlour Friday Saturday and Sunday. I'm beyond stoked:

For any New York folks looking for some live Irish music this weekend:

250 West 86th Street

(b/w Broadway and West End Avenue)

New York, NY 10024-3104

Check out this site. They claim to be the authority on mix tapes:

Tiny Mix Tapes

NICE

Who else has thought about the fact that Wilco is already quite old? Nels is over 50, Jeff will soon be 40. They're nowhere near their creative end if this album is any indication.... but one does have to wonder how much longer this can go on. There's more than enough there to make multiple more great albums, I just hope they do.

I always think about that with older artists as there are many who would say that the best art comes out of youth. I don't think its always the case. Take Sonic Youth. I think they make better music now then they ever did 15 or 20 years ago. Flaming Lips as well.

Just my 2 cents.

Oh I forgot. Not sure if this counts, but I left the Kanye performance at Lollapalooza last year. His sound was terrbile and we weren't digging it. We checked out Manu on the other stage instead.

Has anyone heard the Albert Hammond Jr. album? I was meaning to check it out.

Ok which do you all prefer: GQ or Esquire. I get both and prefer Esquire.

I fell asleep at a Duncan Sheik concert once. Man, is he boring!

The Smashing Pumpkins way back in the day (Melon Collie tour)

The Vines when they first came out.

Both are simply terrible in concert...or at least they were when I saw them.

also Death Cab bored me to tears, but I guess it just wasn't my thing...

I can't remember what award they were given but The Raconteurs got a mention and the picture and story they used was from Lollapalooza 2006. I can't find the list online. The Esquire website hasn't updated yet.

I don't think Ryan Adams releases enough albums. Hes the laziest man in show business.

Lately John Locke seems to be patterned off of Homer Simpson with his silly mistakes.

The Lolla Lineup is supposed to be announced a few weeks into april. The next batch of early bird tickets go on sale on April 3rd (they will be discounted but certainly not $60...probably like $150)

Around the Sun was very bland...what my exgirlfriend would call "Dad rock" (sorry to the dads on the board). I loved Up and Reveal though.

Anyone ever see the documentary about the making of UP? Its pretty good as far as rock-docs go.

I have been on a major Prince Kick lately, but I feel no guilt about that.
