  1. i accidentally deleted my invite and then took the trash out. dang- please re-invite if possible!
  2. marlins will be bad, but, good lord, the astros? i read something along the lines of their total team payroll is $14M, with $5M of that owed to Wandy Rodriguez??? paraphrasing
  3. speaking of Mr. Weir - justcaught this while studying up w clive davis' (in the news lately...waht) wiki profile: In 1972, Davis also signed Earth, Wind & Fire to Columbia Records. One of his most recognized accomplishments was signing the Boston group Aerosmith to Columbia Records in the early 1970s at New York City's Max's Kansas City, which was mentioned in the 1979 Aerosmith song "No Surprise", where Steven Tyler sings, "Old Clive Davis said he's surely gonna make you a star, just the way you are." [5] Starting on December 30, 1978,[6] Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead occasionally cha
  4. daaaang. seriously considering solo drive from pennsylvania. dumb question- is on- site camping sold out?
  5. Pavement: I remember going through a heavy Dead phase, having a kid, doing the career thing,and slowing my new music roll, At a family reunion in Philly, I was chatting up a favorite nephew who was in his early 20's at the time and well versed in music,He stoutly regarded Crooked Rain Crooked Rain and Slanted as some of the greatest records ever...... I'd guess this was 1997, and I remember the picnic benches where we hung out, rapping about artists and bands for a couple hours. I went home and checked it out, and have never looked back. Even today, I am a huge Malkmus fan, and pretty much
  6. my first listen to Tumbling Dice was the Linda Rondstat version from the double album soundrack "FM" when I was 12. too funny- check out this track listing - for a long time this was the only way to get your hands on that awesome Steely Dan song: FM (No Static at All)" - Steely Dan – 4:52 "Night Moves" - Bob Seger – 3:27 "Fly Like an Eagle" - Steve Miller Band – 3:04 "Cold as Ice" - Foreigner – 3:20 "Breakdown" - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – 2:44 "Bad Man" - Randy Meisner – 2:38 "Life in the Fast Lane" - Eagles – 4:46 "Do It Again" - Steely Dan – 5:54 "Lido Shuffle" - Boz Scaggs – 3

  8. January has historically ranked by far the highest in murder-suicide-love-triangle -incest.... ok i kid! i love january for the possibility of SNOW DAYS i love january because it leads to february, which leads to march, wh i love january jones "she's in love with rock n roll, whoaa"
  9. don't forget chad durbin, ben revere (good), and ahem, mike adams!
  10. i don't believe the rangers will win 93 this year- not hatin' but i just don't see it. that said i'm a diehard phils phan, and, well, my fingers and toes are crossed for ALOT of things to fall into place..... rangers/ phils WS = OK w me. no matter- my freshmancollege boy and i are off to clearwater beach for the training of the spring on 3/1. 3 games 3 stadiums, all phillies. we went when he was 10. we went when he was 14. now he's 18. and we will observe some scientologists, too. i'm kind of obsessed with those, um, folks. and i'll cry like a little boy when we have a catch on the
  11. seriously, like any body of work from any artist, in real time we're all probably toooo close to it. and whatever station we are at in life has a huge influence as well. in retrospect (not unlike relationships, winknod), perspective grows. I appreciate the bro or brotha who started this thread- great discussion, too. we all love music- that's cool- and there are few things better than being introduced to an artist or band at some point in their career, and having the pure pleasure to explore their equally awesome back/front catalog: example- my first clash record was London Calling in 79 o
  12. oh my word, her new (ok not really NEW) record is absolutely fantastic. first record of hers i've ever purchased (5 buck amazon download thingee after hearing all the "buzz") i loved the song "criminal" when it came out, but only paid passing attention since, although all her records seem to garner positive reviews. can't wait to explore the back catalog. am i alone here?
  13. i'm enjoing a fantastic bottle of "Mad Elf" brewed and bottled by the fine people of Troeggs. happy christmas to all my peeps!
  14. todd- well done - i'm a crackbass player and the music sometimes overwhelms me with it' s intracicy ...actually Coposing/Writing is waay beyond my skill set though I'm less intimidated by lyrics. a song is a song, and it's value lies in the composers wallet. dollars n diamonds are never the inspiration, i bet. a good song will be passed around, a strong song will be pushed on highways and railways, campfires and rambles. let's hope for wings on this one, and many more from you- keep on songcrafting. the hell with Nashville. may they come calling on your terms.
  15. fro m my 11/14 post in "live tonight": Killer picker- i was checking around corner for second guitarist when he was solo (opening and mid-show), my friend even checked rig for looping gear, and there was none present. Encored w/ full band "Can't Hardly Wait"
  16. bbop- sweet link, i was kind of exhausted just reading, while making mental plans to attend and donate next year. of course, including where Jeff would set up in MY living room, and who i'd invite, and waht the setli...........it's like a lottery fantasy. well documented, and for all the right reasons, too. santa LIVES! no santa strives no santa drives. santa, humble and full of grace santa in our lives
  17. wow. watching this now...came i during Bruces cant rememeber the rising records song title... and then btr with jon bon. in and out w/ sixers game, but lord jesus christ the sandler "Hallelujah" was priceless. roger waters was waaay good, with the city hip hop dance thing on "Another Brick in the Wall" was all WHATTTT?? led off w/ flesh, finished w $$ and us and them. clapton acoustic/ electric mmmeh stones: quick, yet polished and ferocious. alicia keys asked people to hold u their cell phones - 10 point deduction but still sexy as all get out now, Rog and Pete, I mean Pete and
  18. nice post, lou - i was a fan through Another Grey Area, and then drifted. I bought Squeezing Out Sparks on cassette, and later had to replace on CD. Still great today. I need to catch up on his stuff since- not sure where to start. Howlin Wind is hugely under-rated as well, in my opinion.
  19. father guido sarducci. some of that smeigal digital short stuff is swell, too. murray's :todd was kinda funny and most of steve martins stuff too. i've been a fairly faithful viewer since i stumbled onto it at about 10 on my 8 inch b/w tv. after it ended sctv was on. and that memory is AWESOME.
  20. met up w/old friend at her house- did a little pre-show. hit up a brick oven pizza place a couple doors down from venue. free parking in front of police station ( my rams head go to) Ommegang Atlas on tap. Missed Tift - but that didn't cause a rift (sorry) upper levels closed- fairly packed yet parse Tues night crowd. No distracting chatter. JTE- opened acoustic with The Night John Henry Died, brought the band out after another number or two. A fine 4 piece with a young looking Levon on drums, alternating electric/ stand-up bass, and lead guitar/ slide guitar guy. TIGHT. Set- up soun
