  2. This year, PEANUT-FREE NIGHT is JULY 8th For those of you who are interested!
  3. I don't generally play gigs. But I did look to see if any of my friends were playing that week and, I see none so far. (I do have friends playing on the 19th, though, if you get in early.)
  4. I am. And, that's cool that you are. The mods have to set it up first. Then, you add albums that you'd like to see rated by the rest of us, and rate albums added by others. Makes for a permanent, rolling, editable VC "top albums" chart.

  7. I have grade school-age kids, and I have to admit that I love watching iCarly with them. Funny show with no "adult jokes" above the kids' heads like a lot of "smart" kids' shows. Just silliness that we all enjoy. And please, let's keep pedophile jokes out of this.
  8. Something like this (from another board that I frequent): http://www.obner.org/bb/charts.php?action=all_list Board members can both add albums and rate them, to create a ROLLING "VC's Greatest Albums" feature. Just a thought. Any support?
  9. Used to be my favorite band; and my all-time favorite album used to be Nothing's Shocking. I would certainly be curious to hear some of this stuff, but just as certainly will not be spending this kind of money on it.
  10. What can you tell me about them? You like 'em? What's the best record to get?
  11. Okay, I have to relay this story (if I haven't somewhere, already): Where I went to H.S. we had an every-other-year event called "Focus On The Arts", where people who made their living in the arts came to speak to the students about what they did. And, sometimes to perform. Now, Milwaukee is only about an hour from my childhood suburb, and Brian Ritchie came down to perform and have a moderated conversation with a group of students. I was lucky enough to score tickets to the dialogue. Brian ambled into the room, with about 35 students in attendance, and 3 teachers. He was amicable and to
  12. Robbie Robertson - Robbie Robertson Shrimp Boat - Something Grand (disc 2) Television - Marquee Moon Stereolab - Dots & Loops Robyn Hitchcock - I Often Dream Of Trains
  13. ...the entire crowd can sing along every word to every song and have it not be annoying, but actually fun. Hell, maybe the ONLY live band for which this is true. I'm listening to a live recording of them doing a couple of songs off that first album and remembering back to when I saw them. We in the crowd
  14. (Sorry, I had to do that.) But yeah, they wrote great song after great song.
  15. Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig Lazarus Dig! Green - Green "Billy G's No Frills Pop Mix" (a really great 2002 power pop mix from an internet friend)
  16. I listened to this last night (twice) and again this morning (twice). It is like something entirely new. So amazing. I love it love it loveit loveitloveitloveitloveit!!!! Not every day you get a new Beatles track.
  17. Glad you dug it, Scott. Linus Of Hollywood - A pure pop songwriter, through-and-through. He's also a studio musician out in L.A., and the owner of Franklin Castle Records. That song is an Ozzy Osbourne cover. Roy Wood - The leader (and founding member of) The Move, which is the band that later morphed into ELO, once Jeff Lynne wrestled control of the band away from Roy. Roy's solo albums are amazingly eccentric and frequently quite beautiful, even at their most ridiculous. The Move's song "Flowers In the Rain" (pre-Lynne) was the first song ever played by BBC1. Recommendations: Linus Of
