Mojo Nixon - there's a name you don't hear everyday I read that Tom is going to have his own channel on one of those satellite radio channels now - instead of just a show.

I think I recall reading various things after their last tour. Some talk of a new album, and some talk that Axl had told them he was done for a while. I would think with Steven they would bring up his health issues. Which is partly what happened with Bill and Black Sabbath.

I would be surprised if he was involved. They will probably pull a Bill Ward Situation® on him.

There is a message within the Canadian Amp cd liner notes about her dislike of ripping cds, mp3 sharing, etc. I think she was real anti-computers back then also.

I have some live shows from years ago. I don't know if she is still against taping or not. She was very against such things back in the day.

I recall getting Canadian Amp in the mail back in the day. I still think Furnace Room Lullaby and Blacklisted are the best. I played those albums so many times.

I recall reading a while back that Slash and Axl had began talking again. I figured some sort of talk like this would pop up:

Truckdriver, Gladiator, Mule

I think I bought that book for next to nothing a long time ago. At the start of every semester there use to be a guy selling used books in the student union. I am pretty sure that is where I found it.

I like those type of oral history style books. When I first read about the new Gans book it was described as an expanded/updated version of Playing In The Band.

I'll probably get it. Playing In The Band is one of my favorite GD books.

The new Jackson/Gans book is out now also: This Is All A Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History of The Grateful Dead

I have that. It is certainly one of the best rock documentaries I own. I guess the thing about this new book is that Zanes got Stan to participate in the interview process.

I ordered the 2 disc version from Amazon yesterday. I guess I will get it sometime this week.

I suppose I got out those albums due to the press about the new book that is out. I may have to read it.

I'm listening to all the TP albums today: When you listen to the albums in order you really notice how the songs/sound changes. The first three have a definite sound and then it changes with Hard Promises and then again with Southern Accents. I have to say I end up skipping most of that album up through Into The Great Wide Open. To me - I really like the run of albums from Wildflowers up through Echo. I have not really listened to the last two albums enough to say anything about them. I have been reading about a Wildflowers boxset/deluxe edition that is suppose to be coming out sometime.

The last few albums are not like the early stuff. Also - Max Johnston played with them for a while (Springtime).

I am surprised I could not find the old Freakwater thread. It must have disappeared.

They have a new album coming out this winter. They are now on the Bloodshot label. If you have never listened to Freakwater - listen to It Feels Like The Third Time first. Because that is the first one I ever bought. And I'm fantastic.

I know someone who won some of those free tickets to one of the upcoming shows today. He was already planning on going to one show - so now he can go to two shows. He's a fan of John Mayer and The GD so I am glad to see he got the tickets.

I can understand that. Thanks for the answer.

Has anyone heard the re-master yet? I am curious about the sound before I go buy it. I say that as I recently got burned on the Old 97s Too Far To Care re-master. That thing sounds like someone went through the brick wall with the treble turned up almost all the way.

I was thinking maybe there was a plain dvd release - maybe there isn't. I don't own a Blu-ray player or surround sound system.

I don't know if I will buy this or not: The Beatles - 1 (CD/Blu-ray audio/video) - November 6th 2015

I read some review a while back where the reviewer said something along the lines of "I hope they don't end up together" or something like that. I figured right away they had not read the books.
