I'm halfway through my first listen of this and .... WOW! I really like parts of

Agreed. I have a feeling, based on my regular perusing of the Now Playing thread, that most of my list won't make the FINAL list as I seem to come from a different musical background than most here, but I'm okay with that.

Ummmm, yeah indeed.

This is too hard. What constitutes my favorite albums. Many that I would think to put on the list are albums I rarely spin anymore, ya know. Do I put Axis: Bold As Love on the list as I was obsessed with it for a good part of my youth or do I leave it off because there are 20 albums that are more "go to" for me these days? This is putting a serious crimp in my productivity today.

I think it might bring in SOME Hillary supporters (I think most will get on the Obama bandwagon soon enough anyway), it would do FAR MORE, imo, to mobilize the opposition to get out and vote for McCain. While support for McCain on the right is luke warm, hatred for Hillary is scalding hot.

Link? I'd like to see this. I think this is a good idea and I look forward to seeing it, but i over-think these things WAAAYYY too much so it takes me forever. Hopefully I'll get it done though.

Good link to follow the electoral map: http://www.electoral-vote.com/

It was just a slip of the tongue (albeit a funny one) where he meant to say "bill with earmarks" and combined the "b" of bill with the "ear" of earmarks to say "veto any 'beer' (or is it b-ear?)."

He's already got the "terrorist fist jab" down!

I requested my favorite Wilco song at Colorado Springs, Poor Places, but alas, have still never seen that one performed live.

I was fortunate enough to see every note Phish played at Red Rocks (every note Trey played too!). Their '93 debut at the venue was, for me, when the band really took the "next step." I had been seeing them for years at that point, but you could really feel they were turning the corner. I drove up from Crested Butte where I was living at the time of these '94 Red Rocks shows. This one was great, but of course is overshadowed by one of their all-time greatest performances the following night. ETA: D'oh! I misread the date. I thought this was 6/10/94. Never mind. This was good too, but the prev

Thanks for the response. I looked through the thread before posting but must have overlooked your earlier post. If they are doing multiple stages, it really sucks that they haven't announced a schedule. I'd like to make a determination on whether I should plunk down the cash and make the trip to SF, but I don;t want to if a bunch of the artists I want to see overlap. ACL Fest has announced their schedule and that fest is laster in the year.

I'm considering heading to SF for this festival. The line-up is just the best of the summer for me. But I am already going to quite a few for various reasons (Telluride Bluegrass, Northwest String Summit, Austin City Limits Fest, RockyGrass, Folks Festival) so I'm really on the fence. I know this is the first year of Outside Lands, but does anyone know what this will be like? Is it just one stage with the bands one after the other with a short break in between (I'm assuming yes, because they have not released any sort of schedule like ACL has)? If so, I'm worried that I will end up being disap

You'll get no argument from me there.As I said earlier, I think both labels -- conservative and liberal -- as worn by the major parties are laughable. The whole thing is a just a big us vs them which is why I said earlier in the week that less divisiveness is a big thing for me. Neither side has a monopoly on good ideas, but in this us vs them culture, it seems we'd rather fail as a country than have our "rivals" succeed.

Okay given that, I assume you would NOT be a fan of Lincoln Republicanism then? I'm glad you recognize that the GOP is NOT conservative. I find it ironic that a lot of folks in the GOP point to "the party of Lincoln" as a badge of honor when I would argue the GOP resembles Lincoln's ideals far less than, say, Obama.

Hey resident conservatives, How do you define "conservative" anymore? I would probably most closely align myself with Lincoln's brand of republicanism, but most would call me "liberal" as a result.... although I don't really know what "liberal" means anymore either.

From the DNC: "The DNC and the Obama Campaign are unified and working together to elect Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. Our presumptive nominee has pledged not to take donations from Washington lobbyists and from today going forward the DNC makes that pledge as well," said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. "Senator Obama has promised to change the way things are done in Washington and this step is a sure sign of his commitment. The American people's priorities will set the agenda in an Obama Administration, not the special interests."

Cool, I'll check out that Classic Albums DVD. I own Dub Room and Does Humor Belong in Music.

Isn't that 18? I like 10 too though:Live Phish, Vol. 10 - 6.22.94 Veterans Memorial Auditorium, Columbus, OH. I don't know if you are specifically looking for Live Phish releases, but don't forget these other live releases: Live At Madison Square Garden New Year's Eve 1995 Vegas 96 and Colorado '88 is fun too for some historical perspective. Also, not my favorite era for Phish, but the Island Tour is a fan favorite.

Has anyone seen "Frank Zappa: Music in Review"? I have it in my queue to rent, but know nothing about it. I would love a good, well-made doc about FZ, but I'm skeptical this is it since I have heard so little about it.

Once again, my friend, I don't think you understood or understand my original point. Perhaps an information gap on your part which you seem reluctant to fill. But let's not derail this any further,. you can continue to think of me as a war-monger that gets all of his information from Limbaugh if it makes you feel better. For a point of agreement, I do agree that uneducated voters are a huge problem. One of my favorite quotes: "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter." Winston Churchill

The sad thing is I think we are BOTH Obama supporters.
