Just saw that. I remember hearing he was not doing well last year. The guy wrote some great tunes. RIP.

I bet if the dude was upside down on the stamp, you would really have something there. That's about all I have gleaned about stamp collecting through the years. Sorry to interrupt, carry on.

I am seriously considering buying a Bruno Underground 30 amplifier but it's about $2000 more than I have ever spent on an amp. Plus I have never been willing to buy an amp without at least playing throught it. Unfortunately it's tough to find a dealer for most of these amps anywhere nearby. I currently play through a Fender Deville which I have always been pretty happy with but the tone search always continues. I really want a single channel class A type amp. Does anybody own a higher end boutique type amp? Are they really worth it? Thoughts on Sommatone vs. Bruno vs. Bludotone vs. Ge

Just watched this. That's Montgomery Clift honey!

I have seen Tommy Castro a few times and he always puts on a good show. It leans a bit towards R&B rather than straight blues. Good singer and guitar player and usually gets the crowd dancing. I would recommend checking him out.

Loving this so far.

Happy new year one and all!

You can download Strummer's "London calling" radio show (1998 - 2001) at this site. Cool stuff: Strummer radio show

Tony Joe White - The Shine Really good.

That's why I decided to give it a listen. Some great lyrics, he kind of lets it all hang out. Only once through it so far so tough to say but I could see it growing on me very easily. MOJO seems to really like Midlake for some reason so that probably figured into making it their #1. I will definitely be giving it another listen.

I have played with quite a few bass players and they all seem to be in awe of him. To me, improvisation is the hardest part of playing music and he is just a monster in that realm.

Dude can play hoops in high heels then make you pancakes!

Makes sense, he was obviously a hell of a musician before even taking up bass, but to get that good on an instrument that quickly? Boggles my mind.

I refuse to give Guns and Roses any credit for Nirvana's success.

Not sure if it was posted yet but MOJO has an interesting best of 2010 list: 1. John Grant - Queen of Denmark 2. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs 3. MGMT - Congratulations 4. Edwyn Collins - Losing Sleep 5. The Black Keys - Brothers 6. Paul Weller - Wake up the Nation 7. Midlake - The Courage of Others 8. Phosphorescent - Here's to taking it Easy 9. The Coral - Butterfly Hour 10. Doug Paisley - Constant companion

So I just read in the Phil Lesh book that he didn't even start playing Bass until he joined the Dead? How is that even remotely possible?

Waits red vinyl Looks like the going price is $26.99 right now.
