Parking is always an issue downtown. Water Street will be your best bet. There are two lots, one metered and one gated right next to each other. Directly adjacent to these is a large parking garage. All are within two blocks of the Paramount. Between the three you shouldn't have a problem. Once your on the Mall you'll have plenty of choices for food. There's probably twenty restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Mono-Loco;(Cuban) Downtown Thai, Christian's Pizza, Revolutionary Soup, Millers; (greasy wonderful sandwiches and a good assortment of beer). Stop anyone you meet and they'll point y

Third row....somewhere to the left? ( Left the tix at home this morning.... ) I'm all "tingly" with anticipation. Or perhaps that's just frost bite from the drive in this AM.."burrr".

I agree. Both of these records are terrific. One of my current favorite bands, I have yet to catch live. That'll change this year; ( fingers crossed ).

I doubt whomever compiled this list ever even heard of Steve or the Dixie Dregs Clapton's work on "Crossroads" has to be considered some of his best work ever. One really can't take anything away from Eddie VH. The guy was a phenom when he burst onto the scene. And I'd have to agree with the your point on omitting Neil Young. I guess it comes down to the criteria of those that composed the list.... "virtuosity" isn't everything in my book. Chops are great but there's a great deal to be said for a segment of music where a musician takes a solo and simply evokes feelings and emotions

Good lord

What the heck is that image on that guitar? Oh, and check it. See that little tweed box behind Jeff's left leg? Swart Amp. "Atomic Space Tone". Very cool...

There's some stuff up on YouTube that can clue you into their/her sound. Sounds pretty cool actually, so I'm looking forward to seeing them next week.

Menomena - Friend and Foe

If you think that's neat check out the "Seek-Trem" and the "Ohh Wah"; ( YouTube search: Zvex) I just bought an amp with a built in tremelo curcuit but I'm sooo tempted to get that Seek with the sequenced 8 stage effect: Just too wacky!

Basically, I would like to own most of the Zvex line of pedals; (especially an "Ooh Wah ). But since we're talking delays....this thing sounds so cool. This demo doesn't do it justice.

The guy seems to like CYHSY and Neutral Milk Hotel. So odd-ball vocal deliveries aint off limits here...... This is the case with all reccomendations, no?

Records that I'm infatuated with at the moment: Tom Waits Orphans I can't say enough good stuff about this one. You don't have to know a thing about Waits to embrace these recordings. Load all three discs into a player and set it on random and the places these songs and story/ dialog snippets take you is amazing. Regina Spektor's Begin to Hope Her previous record Soviet Kitsch may be a more cohesive effort but this one is new to me and therefore stands a little stronger in my mind; (at the moment). You'll love her voice and the way her accent affects the lyrics. You'll love her efferves

The writer director began this project WAY back in 96 and worked on the project as funds became available. If I recall correctly from the interview included on the DVD the films original debut was in 01 in Atlanta with orchestra accompaniment to a small crowd. So it's been off the radar for awhile. Just released to DVD this past September

I've found over the years that different capos will give you better results. There's lots of variables involved in this issue. There's the set up of the guitar itself: String height, action, fret height, neck radius, etc. All are factors that can contribute to intonation problems as you change keys down the neck. So my first suggestion is to check that the guitars intonation is correct to begin with; ( this may be a condition that doesn't normally present itself until you are changing the scale length. Once you've got that verified, try "playing around" with your capo. Note, the string only

Set in a storybook 1920s rural American South and inspired by the Japanese fairytale "Kaguyahime," Milford Thomas' CLAIRE tells the story of a childless, elderly male couple who discover a princess made of moonlight inside an ear of corn. The enchanting young Claire bewitches onlookers with her readings of fantastic poetry in unfamiliar languages, entrances a local boy who courts tragedy when he tries to win her affection, and unwittingly becomes a healer in the process. While exemplifying the untraditional family (two men lovingly raising a moon-child), CLAIRE celebrates the diversity of fami

Gracias.... NP

Soundtrack to Little Miss Sunshine Would anyone mind reccomending some Devotchka? Really digging this.....

Still haven't started this yet. It'll probably be until next week when I get around to it. Here's another one I recently spotted in the bookstore window that I'll probably pick up: Thanks for mentioning the Non Required Reading series...that'll be on the list now too!

Yeah, me too. I've never been a fan of any of Sandler's work but I'm intrigued by this and will see the film. PJ's take on "Reign O'er Me" is pretty damn moving if you ask me.

I like Paste, I'm not a subscriber but I should be. I think I've picked up the past five or six issues consecutively. I like the samplers, the travel contributor who's name escapes me and the book reviews along with the feature articles. I occasionally pick up MAGNET but find their album reviews a little lacking in substance.

Read that over the holidays. He's never dissapointed me. I love his slow pace and his attention to detail. One of the better movie adaptations out there. Eugene H
