    I've seen him live a couple of times. He's a lot better live than on record IMO - I've always been bored of his albums, but live he has a bit more personality, he's a bit spiky that's for sure.

     

    exactly. Separate Ways (his latest) is a snore beyond belief.

    In an article I read about Andrew Bird said he was a nervous flyer as well. He wrote the song "Fiery Crash" about him flying, and his superstitions. According to him and the song, they way he gets over flying is imagining the plane going down in a horrible fiery crash, thus negating that it would actually happen. It is a crazy way of doing things, but since I heard that it is the last song I listen to before I get on a plane, and yes I imaging the plane going down. But I am not a really a nervous flyer.

     

    I also tend to watch the first a couple of episodes of Lost, and movies about airplane crashes (Donnie Darko is my favorite). I guess I have always thought to thumb my nose at fate in that way.

    Residency Tix Trade

    in Got Extras?

    Posted

    So here is my story. I found out I was going down to Chicago on business at the same time of the Residency Shows. So I thought great the company will pay for the hotel and food, I just got to get tickets. So I got one ticket for Monday and one for Tuesday. Now that trip is cancelled. So I would like to get rid of one of my tickets in exchange for the other night. This way I can go down with someone.

     

    So it would work out like this:

     

    You need a ticket for Monday and have an extra ticket for Tuesday we would work that deal out

     

    or

     

    You need a ticket a ticket for Tuesday and have an extra for Monday we could work that out

     

    or

     

    You have a pair for any of the other nights and you need Monday and Tuesday.

     

    Please PM me and we can work out the details, or email me at keving139@yahoo.com

     

    Thanks.

    no this is worse though... sometimes i thought it was an instrumental because his vocals were so low

     

    That is too bad, I was looking forward to this album

     

    So using the scale would you

    Buy It

    Burn It

    Skip It

     

    Taking in mind I am a big Sugar fan, and only so so on Bob's solo stuff

    Music videos / programs on iPod

    Liam Lynch does a pretty cool video podcast. I know you can find it via the iTunes Music Store (iTMS)or at http://www.liamlynch.net/ (select podcast). It is pretty funny and he has a good musical sensibility. He created Sifl and Olly and directed the Tenacious D movie, as well as numerous videos. He also like Doctor Who a lot so you should be down with that. In fact he did a whole episode on why he like Doctor Who (classic).

     

    You live in the UK right? Cause I know in the iTMS in the UK they have a ton of video podcasts and 99% of the are free.

     

    If you are not afraid of spending a couple of bucks buy a TV show or two. The have some in the UK iTMS, but not that many. OR if you have and movies on your computer covert them to an mp4 file and you can watch them on the old iPod. Or I take DVD and use handbreak which converts them quite nice for me. But then again I use a Mac.

     

    Good luck
