Besides Amazon, does anybody have a trustable website source for used music they'd be willing to share?

I think Rush is a very good band. But lyrically they may be too Dungeony and Dragony for me. Tom Sawyer... great song... bad lyrics.

Bought myself a Blueberry "Groove" OM style acoustic on Ebay(yes Ebay) for Christmas. Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, ebony fretboard. Very pretty and very odd guitar.

Anything by RUSH.

No way! Thanks for the link. That and Back to the Future were my absolute two favorite movies as a kid. Awesome.

We have a place that opened up down the street from me a few years ago called Woodman's in the West suburbs of Chicago. It has the biggest liquor dept. I have ever seen... puts Binny's to shame. They have the beer in coolers around the entire perimeter of the store and it goes by geographical area... from Asian to Domestic microbrews and everything in between. Anyway, I have over the last two years drank my way around the world...good for me. There are so may that I like, but I really keep going back to good old Newcastle Brown Ale, DAB, and some German Bock that is FANTASTIC, but $12 a

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... three years left 'til doomsday two Miss USAs and a Kanye a-po-lo-giz-ing...

Farley's Matt Foley: Motivational Speaker bit, may be the funniest I have seen on SNL. I loved Farley.

a classic!

That's great. Nice observations all around. I kind of feel dumb that I never even thought of that connection in any capacity.

I'd love to see a reunion as well; although, I don't see it happening either. It is sad to me that most of those songs may never see the light of day again. Oh, well! I saw them once at Mississippi Nights in STL years ago, before I was really a fan, and I remember them being really great. High energy, for sure. However, even in my fading memory, Wilco is undoubtedly a better live band. Not even close, really IMHO.

Wilco's been very very good to me.

I was at the show last night and did spend the bulk of the show watching what Glenn was doing. I had not seen many of the new songs live yet, and they did not let me down. He is very busy back there. He may be the best drummer I personally have ever seen live. Saw Rush years ago, so Peart is up there. And like them or not, Jimmy Chaimberlain from the Smashing Pumpkins is REALLY good too, but I think Glenn is a step above.

I saw them live at Lollapalooza in '07. I thought they were good. I'm not a huge fan of the band's entire catalog, but "Fever to Tell" is one awesome album.

Don't be silly. You're a much better guitarist than Andrew Stockdale.

My Morning Jacket

First time I heard them was live at Lollapalooza in '06 or '07. Big fan ever since. Good Rock n Roll. Citrus is great. I love that he seems to be totally blotto while recording it. Perfect for that song.

This for me: SCGC H-13 Adirondack and Mahogany with slotted headstock. Yippeee!!!

Thanks for the input. That R Taylor is a great looking guitar, I have never run into one in person, but you know that the woods are spectacular. Right. Not looking for a flat picker. Pretty much just use my bare fingers when I play. The V-neck is standard on that 00-28VS and I have played around with it. It is a bit odd, but comfortable in a weird sort of way. I really LOVE that guitar. The sound on it, even with the basic Indian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce, is SO amazing. It projects like I couldn't believe. I have to admit that the only reason, and it is a bad one, that I haven'

Looking at purchasing a smaller-bodied (like a 00 type) guitar around the holiday season. I've been looking around on the interwebs and traveling around the Chicagoland area trying out different brands in the general 00 style. I have my initial favorites (Santa Cruz H13 and Martin 00-28VS...froggy bottom P12 looks up my alley but haven't played it yet) but my mind is not made up by any standards. Does anybody have any experience in this body style? If so, any recommendations? Let's say 5-6K maximum price point, but doesn't have to be that expensive.

Congrats, Matt! That is one truly awesome guitar. Very jealous. I have been told, from a relative that is in the music business (not that that makes him special) that the GE sounds like a high-end Taylor. That many (or most) Martins kind of warmly reverberate their sound from the whole body, but Taylors and the GE models project the sound straight out of the soundhole very directly... dunno... just what I was told. I have an HD-28V (good for me) that I play fingerstyle using Silk and Steel strings that I fell in love with within the last 6 months or so. Kind of evens out the boominess f

I second this. Informative, and what I like about it is that it is the most positive news program on TV anymore. Intelligent and celebratory. I am a dad too, and watch it every week. My son looks forward to the "sun" song every Sunday.

I guess that I may be that tall jerk! I do this as well^^^. I'm 6'3'' and 250 lbs. I try to stay sidestage as close as I can get, as to not block too many fellow concert-goer's sightlines. I could go center stage, but I don't. I make this sacrifice consciously, so I DO NOT let anybody get in front of me. I've done my good deed for the event. Short people can go find somewhere else to stand that is not in front of me. (plus, short people have no reason to live)

Not Chinese, but another culinary gem in Westmont, Uncle Bub's BBQ on Cass Ave. FANTASTIC!!!! Try the short rib if they have it when you're there.

Maybe a bit touristy, but Katz's deli is a must! And maybe a trip up to Harlem for some live music.
