  1. I'm playing more and miore in DADABE. I think this might be known as Pavement tuning.
  2. Personally, I came a long time ago, met a local girl and you can figure out the rest. As a band we're based here because we all live here. It might seem surprising, but theres actually a fantastic international music scene here, The interview will be on Radio Kraków: http://www.radiokrakow.pl/www/index.nsf/id/start It was prerecorded and will be aired on a Tuesday evening after the Euro 2012 madness is over.
  3. I was going to spare my fellow VCers from self-promotional spam, but when the day after a show you see they've written a review and then you head off to do a radio interview there comes a certain degree of self-affirmation which makes you believe for a brief moment that the spamming is ok. The review: http://www.therakeandherald.tv/culture/culturestory.php?id=159 The record label page: http://www.halfeaten.com/ The bandcamp page where you can download it: http://franksharddrive.bandcamp.com/ If you're interested in a physical copy, PM me.
  4. Soon it will all be moot anyway: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18449939
  5. As a listener, I have certainly downloaded material from the usual sights, Sometimes those downloads have lwed to a physical sale, sometimes not. understaanding of the law in the country where I live is that it's illegal to upload material, but not to download. So whether or not I've broken the law is unclear- local law? I don't think so. International law? well, not sure what the reciprocal agreements between the countries are. American law? How can I break American law when I'm not on American soil? Not sure about that. Regarding Sec. 107 "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching
  6. Croat hooligans getting into it with cops in Poznan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCWMogtfotA
  7. certainly looked that way but i heard it explained thus: it wasn't offsides because the ball came off an Irish player, not as a pass from a teammate.
  8. That seems like a long time away, but with the way time seems to be speeding up as i get older, I guess it will be here soon enough. Anyway, I hope it continues the upward trend set by TWL.
  9. I actually thought NL played pretty well, dominated the Danes, created tons of chances for themselves, but were unfortunately able to capitalize on any of them. Interesting beginning to a tough group.
  10. disappointing results on the opening day. Poland played a great first half, and a lousy second half, dodging a couple of bullets and squeaking past with a draw. The Czech's got trounced, it looked like they left their defence in Usti Nad Labem. Kind of exciting to be on the ground here even though we're not one of the host cities. England, Italy and the Netherlands are all based here though, and word on the street is about getting into to see practice sessions, which my son was lucky enough to do.
  11. Personally, I was hoping it got accidentally deleted when they changed servers.
  12. My concert schedule for tonight is the ep launch party for Frank's Hard Drive, on Half Eaten Records. http://www.halfeaten.com/ oh, and disclaimer: I'm in the band:)
  13. well the hat jeff is wearing in the hangout festival video reminds me of one i've seen him wearing in some old UT pics...maybe he's trying it on for size.
  14. i had the misfortune to turn this on within minutes after they finished, and am now about to turn off this monstrosity of shite that is apparently called Refused. God must hate me.

  16. Your view of the world is skewed. noone outside the states or maybe other English speaking countries knows/ gives a rat's ass about who Charlie Sheen is. Radiohead and U2 reach a decidedly broader base than Charlie Sheen, and mave have people's attention and may have clear views on the world, but largely preach to the choir, so to speak, which provokes no debate whatsoever. Nine inch Nails did the whole shock rock thing, but played to crowds of people who wanted and/or expected to be shocked. Again, not the same thing. It's funny that in these days of Christian/Muslim animosity the fu
  17. Let me say that I'm not a great fan of hers. Again, I don't even know a single Lady Gaga song. But (also again) I don't think that's the point. Her art isn't music or even fashion. The 21st century is the era of zeros and ones, when visual art has become no longer tangible, and audio art (which never was) has been, through the power or the download, devalued like a third-world currency. It's also the viral age, where a single tweet can reach millioms or peolpe in a matter of minutes. Her "art" isn't art in the traditional sense, but is redefining it based on the unique circumstances of t
  18. Banned Jakarta shows might happen: http://www.nme.com/news/lady-gaga/63935?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Twitter-ladygaga
  19. I don't know a single Lady Gaga song, and my original point had nothing to do with music. Her medium is the media, both new and traditional. Whether or not she tries hard to be edgy is irrelevant. What matters is that she gets a reaction and gets people talking.
