Chicago and Green Bay (or pretty much ALL of Wisconsin, I guess) will be totally electric for the next week. I don't usually write a football game into my schedule – even playoff games. But this one is gonna be something else, methinks.

I forgot that The Saints were Aussies. Also, GtrPlyr and other Canadians: Was there much of a Canadian punk scene up there? Anyone that we would know?

JANUARY 14, 2011 CHICAGO—Though the historically bad Seattle Seahawks managed, despite a 7-9 record, to defeat the defending world-champion Saints on Saturday, football fans agreed yesterday that the team will be thoroughly demolished on the road in Chicago this Sunday, right? "Look, they have the 28th-ranked offense and 27th-ranked defense; they're going to lose by 100, or at least a touchdown or so, right?" said Bears fan Kent Palmer, adding "lightning doesn't strike twice, usuall

Yup.

Tonight, if anyone can make it.

Check PMs.

Apparently back in 2009, they released their first new album in 28 years! And I didn't notice! Did any of you? Heck, are any of you even fans? Know who they are?

A mix of Shrimp Boat songs that I am making for a friend.

From a friend who actually worked on the original sessions: And, the new album cover is pretty durned NSFW (a close-up of a woman's naked pubic region, adorned with small flowers), so I have cut it out of this post.

Nice!

Not sure what that means.

I was thinking about that recently. But I was thinking the exact opposite: that the band was kinda petering out, or at least heading toward its demise. Not that In Through the Out Door wasn't any good. (I love it, despite what a lot of folks think -- a great pop record.) It's just that with that album, the divides within the band were really starting to show. Jones' pop sensibilities vs. the harder-edged blues proclivities of Page and Bonzo... Of course, there's no saying as to what would have actually happened, but I just get the sense, listening to the last record, that there wasn't much mor
