I just watched this: Life is a state of mind.

Motown beatdown for my Yankees. 16-0 in the 8th inning. Yikes. Hopefully this will get Mussina out of the rotation.

I Love To Boogie - T. Rex Tonite - Jarvis Cocker Three Girl Rhumba - Wire Care of Cell 44 - The Zombies I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar - Jonathan Richman Bat Macumba - Gilberto Gil Hollywood Bassplayer - Josh Rouse Into Eternity - Jens Lekman Some Girls are Bigger than Others - The Smiths Satisfaction - Otis Redding

I just watched that yesterday. The best part is "Love Me Tender" when he walks into the crowd. He must have kissed about 25 different women during the song. I hope no one had a cold.

I'm with Sir Stewart on this one. Would Dylan (or his audience) have been better off with him dying in the mid-80's when he was making slick sounding crap that no one really cared about? I'd like to think Elvis could have possibly cleaned himself up and had a late career resurgence like Dylan had. Or like Johnny Cash had. Rick Rubin could have picked some tunes for Elvis to cover and some magic could have happened. As messed up as he was physically, Elvis' voice was never diminished. I think he could have pulled another comeback off. 1968 (when his crap movies had once before rendered him a jo

On August 16, some blue-eyed soul: Bonus: another great "in Memphis" album

Again, memories are flooding back... This should have been included in my earlier list of great/favorite 93 - 97 albums:

This thread is crazy. It is really bringing bringing back some memories of when I was a punk baggy jean and Tommy Hilfiger wearing, Old E drinking teenager. I agree, particularly about Pete Rock. I always thought he put together (I never thought I would type these words) some of the best beats ever. I loved "The Main Ingredient," and was ridiculed for it. For whatever reason, these guys lacked street cred. I think maybe CL rapped too much about love and relationships. With the exception of that Method Man and Mary J. Blige duet, the hip hop kids never embraced this as a subject matter.

Right on. You've got to look at Scooter's induction as a sort of lifetime achievement award that encompassed both careers - player and broadcaster. And even if you find that objectionable, he still has some credentials as a player. An MVP award. 7 rings. Plus, although it does not show up in the numbers, I think the extent to which his peers respected his play should count for something. I mean, if Ted Williams thought he belonged in the Hall, then I'm not going to object based on statistics. After all, everything that happens on the field that affects the outcome of the game does not show up

I'm with you. BR and L isn't as good as its predecessors, but it's solid.

Manny struck out.

I can't tell you which is the best era, but 93 - 97 was my favorite. Buhloone Mind State - De La Soul Midnight Marauders - ATCQ Illmatic - Nas The Infamous - Mobb Deep Hard to Earn - Gang Starr The Sun Rises in the East - Jeru the Damaja Ready to Die - B.I.G Reasonable Doubt - Jay-Z These were the albums I loved that were released during that time. EDIT: I don't know how I forgot them, but I must add all the Wu-Tang related albums from the 93 - 97 era, specifically: 36 Chambers - Wu Tang Only Built 4 Cuban Linx - Raekwon Return to the 36 Chambers - Ol' Dirty Ironman - Ghostface Liqu

Deadspin posted this. Hanley Ramirez Profile: Hanley Ramirez I've decided to start a new feature here at Vegas Watch, where I completely arbitrarily select a player that doesn't get as much attention as he probably deserves. Although that player will then continue to fly under the radar, I'll feel better about the situation. If you have a suggestion for a profile, please e-mail me at VegasWatch@gmail.com. I doubt there are many people who would have guessed that Hanley Ramirez leads all of baseball in VORP. Personally, I probably would have guessed A-Rod, Magglio, Miguel Cabrera, or Pr

That Jenks streak is impressive. However, I fully expect Joba Chamberlain to break this and every other pitching record by the time he retires. Based on his two relief appearances, I can say without hesitation and without hyperbole that Cy Young's 511 wins and Nolan Ryan's strikeout mark are within his reach. I've seen the future of pitching, and it's name is Joba Chamberlain.

I read in the NY Daily News this morning that the lead singer of Relatively Clean Rivers is the father of Adam Gadahn, the American Al Qaeda guy who has been in the news for threatening NYC with dirty bombs. There you go, a Wilco-Al Qaeda connection. Tweedy might be on a "watch list" for citing this album as an influence on SBS.

The Coltrane and Burrell album is one of my favorites as well. Their version of "Why Was I Born?" is amazing. That, "Naima," "Everytime We Say Goodbye," and, as you observed, "Central Park West" are probably Coltrane's most beautiful moments on record. I sometimes feel like a fraud because that is the Coltrane I listen to most. The ballad player. I respect the free jazz Coltrane, but it is the ballads I return to most often. Anyway, nice job highlighting some overlooked gems.

Uncut article with tracklist Columbia Records have today (August 10) revealed the 51 song tracklisting that will make up Bob Dylan's long-awaited retrospective box set 'DYLAN.' The three disc set, due out in October, spans 45 years from the great man and ends many months of speculative debate about what was to be chosen for inclusion. It also features the new Mark Ronson remix of ''Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine).' 'DYLAN' will come in three versions, one as a single disc 18 track retrospective. The three CD set will come in a limited edition deluxe box covered in red

I have this on DVD. The G-Man solo is amazing, but my favorite part is where Rollins is playing at some outdoor rock quarry venue. While soloing he decides to jump down from some of the rocks and, unfortunately, breaks his foot upon landing. However, he never stops playing. He just keeps going, lying on his back. Great stuff.
