Smokestack Joe

im guessing based on the drum rhythm on Fisher of Men, Rachel Blomberg plays on that track. sorta the same drum pattern as Chinese Translation.

like Ryan said, he is not retired, just stepping back, which i take as maybe a year or two, then he'll record again. remember he just recorded a demo record titled Dear Impossible so he has new music out there. wait and see with this guy!

yeah great work. love the sound of guitar, love the MM work too. awesome! thanks

looking forward to listening to this record. M Ward is really turning it up. hitting the big time soon.

Black Cab Sessions Im sure some of you know about this great website. Musicians perform a song in a cab ride. There are some great performances from all types of bands. check it out. (sorry if this was posted already)

Hoffman to Brewers

M Ward's popularity is gaining steam, probably more so with She & Him, maybe this new record will put him on the Big Board, ie Big Tour, Summer festivals, dueting/guesting on Icon's records. Im not saying i want this, i really enjoyed seeing M Ward stageside at a small club in Chicago.

yeah Canuck, i dont get Blackhawks hockey on WGN, im aware of the channel, it is on my TV, Blackhawks are on Comcast in Chicago which i dont get.

I vote for Tweedy/Egan '09.

i dont think ESPN will take back NHL. but who knows? once the VS network contract is up, maybe they will. living in milwaukee, i get a few Minnesota games on Fox Sports Network but no Blackhawks games. too bad. they are fun to watch.

yeah Bruins win 4-2 over the Penguins. wow! Happy to see Lucic and Axelsson getting involved, watchout when those guys and Sturm get hot. Oy vey!!!! I agree with Dr. Canuck, west vs east for Winter Classic. although i think it should be Original Six every year for Classic. Heat up the Rivalries!! but to suit Dr. Canuck, Vancouver vs Toronto outdoor would be awesome!!! wish i was playing hockey again. i loved it!!

That's All Right = Elvis Presley

i really enjoyed the game eventhough the Wings took over from the beginning of the 2nd Period on. There is a great thing going on in Chicago though. the 'Hawks are on there way back from subpar hockey. i love Patrick Kane and i think they will be a dangerous team in playoffs. Hoping that next year's Winter Classic will be at Fenway Park with the BRUINS hosting. btw, Phil Kessel is from Madison, WI played for Univ. of Minnesota and is having a great season so far. My Guy!!!

Looking forward to the Winter Classic, Go Hawks! on another note, GO BRUINS!!!! I wrote Phil Kessel's name into the All Star Ballot, he isnt getting much love.

we have a blizzard here in Milwaukee, getting around 12-14 inches today!!!

this blog is more suited. A Teen Is Born tweedy onstage...

wow, you must have had different experiences there than me. but thats ok, every one has their opinion. i just dont like buying records at best buy or places like that. there are still other indie stores around but I liked Atomic.

Atomic Records, an independent record store on Milwaukee's East Side, is closing in Feb 2009 after 24 years. This is very sad for a lot of music lovers in Milwaukee and elsewhere that ever visited the shop. Plenty of quality records, etc, great people who work there, in-store performances. It is sad to see another indie store not survive. Rich from Atomic Records here. It is with great sadness and more than a little difficulty that I have to announce that Atomic Records will be closing in February 2009. The reasons for shutting down are many -- and I'd hate to bore you with wonkish det

just want to take a moment to give a shout out to MY guys, my hometown guys, Phil Kessel and Joe "The Plover Prince" Pavelski. both are having fine seasons and making a case in the NHL. it would be cool to see them compete in the Cup, Sharks v Bruins.

where do you download the shows? from torrent sites?

i love Jay B. he put on some great shows when i saw Ed B and him.

has anyone found the extra songs from the Cardinology vinyl, Heavy Orange and Asteroid?

yes i am totally stoked about the Bruins thus far. hopefully they can hold on!!

Row E section 2 happy man. hopefully it is not snowing.

i wish i was Zoran Orlic.
