yikes...am I the only one who thinks this all reeks of marketing???? I've fallen for the "remastering' concept on occasion, but it fails to change or significantly impact any of the reasons I first fell in love with records. Possibly my ears need to be re-somethinged... (or my stereo???). And the improvement/ experience is marginal, at least for me. in all their sonic faultiness, the connection one makes with a great record can possibly never be re-mastered, in my opinion, because best friends can never be "re-bested", favorite foods cannot be "re-flavored" and love, well, you know what

yup yup yup and exile. and yhf but thats it. and born to run.

LA in 7

Great series! it was apleasure to follow the Flyers this far. A great season. a tip of the hat (helmet?) to the 'hawks. Well done.

Stanton plays OF. God, i'm a nerd....

Hope the Flyers got some magic left....cue "ROCKY" theme....

strasburg looked amazing. of course it was the Pirates....

samuel is a good guy, and well liked/ rspected by players. he can't do any worse... can't they fire angelos??? On another oriole note, my 15 year old son beat Cal ripkens kids team in a basketball tournament today at gettysburg. Nice pic of my kid and his best friend with cal after the game. excellent!

Love me some Flyers - that doc is great, that was the era i was growing up with the team. Pronger is a character - he took the pucks after games 1 and 2, much to the chagrin of some Hawks. Asked what he was going to do with it it he said "Put it in the trash where it belongs...." Saw him grab the puck after game 4 last night. Imagine it won't be going to the same place... Great matchup, great series!

The People's Limousine - Elvis Costello and t bone burnett, though recorded under a pseudonym I can't recall Brand New Cadillac - Clash Long may you run - neil young Little honda - yo la tengo

and of course the hawks score.... twice

great game 2 so far...leighton is saving some bacon. cmon flyers!!!!

phillies score phillies score now I can end my self imposed hunger strike and have some peanuts with my beer.

That was the first one that came to mind for me. Schweeeeeeet.

All Van Halens that don't have Mr. David Lee Roth Television may have benefitted from a different vocalist, but I still love 'em can't believe no one has whined about j mascis (and his, ummm, whine) but I still love 'em MC5? On the other hand, what about singers who maybe makeup for a bands limitations...... The Furs come to mind

well.... theres that. Especially during the aforementioned storm. Or before it. Or after. Or even in any other weather conditions, as a matter of fact.

Mother Nature in all her infinite glory!

Jose Lima, RIP at 37. The world of baseball as we know it just got a lot less colorful. Dammit.

Let's hear for the old man: Jamie "Walken" Moyer: a 2 hit shutout over the Braves. keep on keepin' on!

I absolutely love the solo stuff. new band members, new styles, new fuzzbox. While I enjoyed the first malkmus solo record, its probably the one I reach for the least. hasn't held up (as well), still good, but the other solo records are wonderful in their own right. That said, i reach for all the pavement records depending on what im in the mood for. real emotional trash is fantastic. cannot wait for philly!!!!

happy B-day bro! Always enjoy your posts. have the bestest of the bestest!

looking forward to Philly in September!!! The setlists thus far look awesome- should be a fine time!

really old? I think the ageless wonder Jamie ("Walken") Moyer might skew the average......what ARE the averages anyway? anyone know the average team age/ rank???

Those little rubber band bracelet thingies that are shaped like animals and stuff when you take them off. my kids are nuts about them.

All set for meriwether on 5/1. my first MMJ show as well, and damned excited about it. lamrod and rareair- please report back!!
