No worries, Matt. Again not directed at you... more the "reading about it everywhere else." I knew where you were coming from.

I re-watched this week's episode last night because my fiance was working on Wednesday. I have to say, upon watching again, I am thinking Kate just screwed (pun intended) Jack to save Aaron. I mean she won't tell jack what happened to his nephew and then is all over Jack. They have (implied) sex and -- cut to the next morning -- she is downright cold to him. In keeping with the proxy theory put forth by Eloise, could Kate have kept Aaron off the island by making herself preggers just as Claire was during the Oceanic flight?

Here's another way of putting it. I am sure most people remember the scene in Bitterwsweet Motel where Trey is reading the review about pissing in the ears of the audience? And how the audience lapped it up? The groundswell of demand for Phish to get back together got to be so huge (and Trey's ego probably doesn't help), that I dont know if it's possible to have any context for "it" if you are a member of the band. Give the people what they want. But what exactly is it that people want?
I should probably just leave this alone, but it is a pet peeve of mine. I have known Trey for more than 20 years. Not well, mind you, but enough to know the guy is probably the most grounded ego-less guy I have ever met that is in a position like he is in. I mean he has confidence -- he has to -- but he is also very generous and not at all all about Trey. In fact, I think the scene in Bittersweet you reference is testament to that to a degree. I know this is a tangent, but I always thought it was grossly unfair the abuse Trey has taken at the hands of his "fans" (not directed at you, Matt, but more the overall fanbase). Sorry, I'm done.

Well I think the direction the music took is what is ultimately responsible. When you're doing stuff like what I'm listening to right now (the Victor Disc) and more singer/songwriter stuff, you don't need to practice 8 hours per day. And they didn't. I think that is ultimately more responsible than anything (including drugs). If they're going to get back to being the band I last saw around 1994, they know they'll need to practice a shit ton. If they plan to continue along the same trajectory they were on for the last 12 or so years, I doubt you'll see much improvement.

Has anyone heard this Victor Disc that is floating around? I'm listening now and I have to say it is the stuff that really made me lose interest in the band. I realize it was not meant for public consumption but it is indicative of the jamming they were doing live. Lots of repeating phrases layered over each other. Almost no turn on a dime stuff and all tension and no release. Honestly this sounds like the stuff I used to do in my basement with friends when we were in high school in between bouts of the munchies. I'm only halfway through so hopefully there will be some better stuff in here.

I saw it last night too. There are several times Smigel is laughing and almost can't get the joke out. It's like even he can't believe what a perfect setup this is for Triumph.

For timing:

Do you still sing of the mountain bed we made of limbs and leaves
G----------------------------------------------D/F#--------Asus----------A# (bass note only)
Do you still sigh there near the sky where the holly berry bleeds
Bm---------------------------G-----------------Em---------------------G
You laughed as I covered you over with leaves, face, breast, hips and thighs,
-----D/F#------------------C-----------Em-------G-------------D/F#
You smiled when I said the leaves were just the color of your eyes.

Right, but was it used to describe a musical style before "Rapper's Delight"? That's what i mean; that they essentially named the genre.

How did Ben get all beat up?
I'm thinking it might have to do with Penny. Penny is Widmore's daughter and we all know the threat Ben made to Widmore. Seeing Desmond might have been his first chance to track Penny down. I don't think he actually killed Penny, but I think he got into a confrontation (perhaps with Desmond) while trying to kill her.
-
I think for the past 30 years or so, you'd have to throw the Sugarhill Gang into the discussion. With "Rapper's Delight" they started rap music on its road to be one of -- if not the -- most important musical movements of the past 30 years. And did they coin the phrase "rap" too?

Trey Anastasio will join Music Director Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for orchestrations of classic Phish tunes and the East Coast premiere of his composition Time Turns Elastic at 8p.m. on Thursday, May 21, 2009 at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Tickets will be available through a real time pre sale beginning Thursday, February 19th at 5pm (EST) and ending Friday, February 27th at Noon (EST) at treytickets.rlc.net Tickets go on-sale to the public Saturday, February 28th at noon (EST). Audio taping tickets will not be sold for this event.
The first half of the program features classic Phish songs and solo Trey compositions, while second half of the program features the East Coast premiere of Time Turns Elastic, co-composed by Anastasio and long-time collaborator Don Hart. Time Turns Elastic is a groundbreaking work for vocals, electric guitar and orchestra with long, orchestral passages intertwined with epic guitar lines and vocals in the vein of such classic Anastasio compositions as The Divided Sky, Guyute and Fluffhead. With Anastasio's electric guitar at the forefront, Time Turns Elastic pushes the limits of orchestral music and delivers a complete articulation of the Baltimore Symphony's mission to present new musical collaborations that challenge and inspire audiences. "Most of the time when people use an electric instrument with an orchestra, they destroy the capability to blend," notes Anastasio. "Our approach is to handle it as any other solo instrument. I play at the volume of say, an oboe, so Don can orchestrate around the guitar."

It's stupid (not to mention not funny), but I don't find it racist. I think, as previously stated it was in reference to the chimp incident and the idea of a billion chimps eventually writing the works of Shakespeare. However, the author should have realized that 1) most people (not to mention NY Post readers) associate bills with the President's signature, not the Congressional authorship; and 2) when perceived as a reference to a black person, "monkey" will automatically illicit a reaction that the statement is racist (for better or for worse). Look at the Howard Cosell incident when he said "look at the little monkey run" when a black football player was streaking down the field. Was that racist? Probably not. But he was still raked over the coals for it. The cartoonist and the editor should have taken those two things into account and therefore it was stupid to print... even for the NY Post.

They're Canadian (Winnipeg)
.Good choice though.
Isn't Canada a part of America?

Jack,
I wish you had believed me.

ETA: Also the guitar Hurley had was an obvious reference to Charlie, but Hurley also had a comic book. A reference to Walt?

I think the some of the other folks on the plane will end up being on that flight on purpose. A new batch of "freighter folks" if you will. There is obviously a schism somewhere where Eloise and one faction of island folks split with Widmore and another faction. But they were all DI folks at one point and so Widmore must have the same tools at his disposal and know about the flight as well.

Good morning coffee music.

So was that Charlie's guitar?
Did Charlie appear to Hurley?
That was my assumption.
What happened to Aaron?Why is Sayid in handcuffs, being all arrested and stuff?
I'm guessing Ben or Eloise is responsible thereby manipulating Kate and Sayid respectively to get on the plane.
How on earth do they keep giving us answers that only create multiple new questions. Jeeze!!Fun, ain't it!
Did anyone here watch Alias? Not nearly as good a show as Lost, but by the same folks responsible for Lost. In that show there was a mystery that went through the whole series: the Rambaldi Prophecy. I'm wondering if anyone knows if they knew what the Rambaldo story arc was before they started that show the way they claim to have the island arc mapped out. The Alias finale quite frankly sucked and I can;t even remember what the Rambaldi Prophecy was.

I didn't recognize him from the show, but I got the feeling it won't be the last we see of him.
I looked him up on IMdb and I recognized the actor from the Don Cheadle movie Traitor which I saw not too long ago.
He is listed as also appearing in next week's episode on IMdb.

Who was the guy that said "I'm sorry you lost your friend" to Jack in line at the airport? He looks familiar but I can't place him. was he in an earlier episode or do I just recognize the actor?

Zion is great. I climbed the Moonlight Buttress with a friend and spent Thanksgiving night 1994 on a portaledge halfway up. Cracked a couple of Guinness Draft cans to celebrate the holiday!

I was at that show. I have to say (pats self on the back), I was at many of the most lauded shows and hands-down for me is Red Rocks 6/11/94.
