damn Moe. At your suggestion, I just put this on and got whiplash from being transported back to summer 1997. I will never forget when they started debuting this tune. Or, when I started hearing it. (I think it debuted in summer 97). Great song.

I much prefer the studio LXL to live. I love the tight solo and the fact that trey solos over the chorus changes instead of just jamming on and on over the verse changes. That LXL might be my favorite Phish studio track. The Wedge is another great studio track. So is Billy Breathes.

Didn't that interview I posted a few pages back with the show creators (Tobias Funke and Bill Walton) say that they needed to use the first few episodes of the season to set up some rules of time travel? Didn't they say that after the 4th episode it would kick into high gear? Wasn't last night the 4th episode? These questions and many others will be answered on the next episode of Soap!

The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out

The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth

Hmm, that's possible. I HOPE so as when these time travel things unravel and they just use time travel as a convenient plot device, I get VERY frustrated. I love this show and I don't want to see it unravel.

Trey's tone (and playing) on the studio Limb By Limb from Story of the Ghost is pretty great.

Okay good episode, but this is the thing about time travel plots that always bothers me. So at the beginning of the episode they are at the time of Aaron's birth. So the plan to return to the beach and get the zodiac is either 1. misguided because the zodiac wouldn't travel through time or 2. a continuity error in the show because all the other castaways at the camp would have seen the zodiac mysteriously appear out of nowhere. Further, it has to option #2 because the outrigger canoe travels through time with them. So, if you're going to keep any sort of consistent rules of time travel in the show, they've already screwed the pooch!

Oh I loves me some Dregs! What If... Night of the Living Dregs... some of my favorites. I want to take each and every person that worships at the altar of Jimmy Herring and sit them down and make them listen to the entire Dregs catalog (not that there's anything wring with Herring!).

Jaco was a god among men. That bassline to end "Drycleaner From Des Monies" is like the intro to You Enjoy Myself played twice as fast on a fretless bass!

Cool! Keep 'em coming!

What about later Mercury Rev like Deserter's Song and All Is Dream? I've never delved into their stuff.

I've been really getting into bowed instruments and string arrangements in rock (or indie if you prefer) music lately. Andrew Bird is an obvious example, but also I think Cloud Cult does it very well as does Super Furry Animals and Sigur Ros (I never got into Polyphonic Spree). Help me find some good stuff to seek out. Who else is doing it well?

One listen so far. I really enjoyed the listen.

Hmm.. might have to check it out. Is it streaming anywhere?

NP:

How is this? These guys headlined the inauguration night party at Antone's in Austin that my brother put together.

Maybe we could hijack this into a thread for upcoming releases for ANY band. I'm looking forward to:

- Super Furry Animals

- Built to Spill

- David Byrne

Hoping for new Flaming Lips and Menomena too, but I haven't heard anything confirmed. I don't stay too up on what's coming, so I'm hoping this thread can be a good resource!

Well that's my question. His arm is going forward as the ball is simultaneously jarred loose. BUT the ball is still being pushed forward. I have seen passes completed in the NFL that were pushed forward like this without complete control and it was called a completed pass, not a fumble recovery. Even if absolute control must be maintained according to the rule, I know enough to know that the ball has to be knocked loose BEFORE the arm moves forward, After seeing it many times, it is DAMNED close and, while I would probably vote for loose before the arm comes forward, it was deserving of more than a 15 second,/no hood review. It's the fuckin' SUPER BOWL!

You should check out the inforoo message boards. A lot of jam band people hate that "their" fest has been taken over. A lot of them are even bitter that Bruce is listed above Phish on the lineup.

Vocal minority methinks. Even if not, the jam scene I knew when I was growing up (musically) in the '80s and '90s was VERY open minded and that has served me well. I care not for qualifying music by genre, but rather by unprejudiced quality (subjective, of course). Most everyone I knew felt the same way.

Saw TDK again. A couple of thoughts...

1. The movie is pretty darn good up until the hospital explodes. After that, it just loses me.

2. I understand Bruce Wayne needs to disguise his voice while he is Batman (I, unlike many others, don't really have a problem with that). But why does he need to disguise his voice when it is just him and Morgan Freeman? Freeman's character (forget the name) knows who Batman is.

A silver lining? Crisis makes

yeah, the more i look there's a handful of jam/rootsier acts, but it's certainly much MUCH more indie-centric than it's been

Well indie music has been popular with a lot of the jam band crowd for a long time. That's one thing I don't think that crowd gets enough credit for. I have been turned on to far more diverse music from Deadhead and Phishhead friends and media than of all other music combined. Sure there are certainly some myopic fans out there, but by and large, they are very open-minded music fans. I would argue the same can not be said for, say, Pitchfork, for example. I guess what I am trying to say is that lineup would hold a lot more appeal for jam fans than it would for indie fans because the indie fans aren't as likely to be open to variety, so I still see it as being true to its roots. /huge generalizations

Yes, my post was to be taken literally that every single Democrat doesn't pay taxes

 

Of course, when they ask the richest people in the country to pay more in taxes (a group most of these Democratic politicians are a part of), but turn around and skirt the tax laws themselves, it strikes me as both amusing and disgraceful.

Come now, you really weren't baiting with your original post. This strikes me as troll bait and switch. I took your OP with the appropriate light-hearted nature, IMO, citing the irony of the tax scandals for Dems and the sex scandals for Republicans. Both are amusing and disgraceful.

uhhh, I don't think anyone is defending the dems, but your post made it sound like this was evidence that the Dems don't pay taxes. A few does not equal all and the ones that don't should be kicked to the curb, regardless of party.

Democratic tax scandals and Republican sex scandals! Ha! The irony!
