Oil Can Boyd

Fire on the Mountain is one of my favorite Dead songs but the version on Shakedown Street is really tepid. Same with the title track ... And I agree with the comment about Live Dead's Dark Star; it's a great one. Funny you mention it - I just picked it up on CD after having it on vinyl for years.

I am a long-time lover - and not a hater - but even as a fan I can do without these two.

Happy happy indeed.

Worst: Agannis Arena Boston

Death Cab for Halpert Stereogum and others covered it. I read somewhere he played IATTBYH.

That's pretty nice. Hard to believe that was 30 years ago ... There is some amazing Talking Heads stuff from 1980 with Adrian Belew: Crosseyed and Painless

You and me both (on both counts).

CBGB founder Kristal dies By Cristian Salazar, Associated Press Writer | August 29, 2007 NEW YORK --Hilly Kristal, whose dank Bowery rock club CBGB served as the birthplace of the punk rock movement and a launching pad for bands like the Ramones, Blondie and the Talking Heads, has died. He was 75.

Meet Me in the Morning - Dylan (I think Blood on the Tracks is a great Sunday morning album ...)

I've been playing that one a lot recently. For me: Kinski - Down Below It's Chaos

Nice! I watched that movie not too long ago for the first time in years.

When I took my road test the guy offered to buy my car in the middle of the test. (It was a bitchin' 1963 Corvair in really nice condition.)

Sigh. Remember the days when Nomar was a great hitter?

Me too, and now I have that freakin' song in my head ...

Yes, but I don't know what. (How is that for a useful asnwer ...) He pulled up rounding third and after he scored apparently went right to the trainer's room.

"Wily Mo Pena has been traded to the Washington Nationals, one of the teams frequently mentioned as a potential landing spot, for cash considerations and a player to be named later."

Q: Did you hear where Mr. and Mrs. Cantaloupe are sending their kids for the summer? A: To John Cougar's Melon Camp. Thanks. I'll be here all week ...

The price might be right very soon: "The Red Sox are designating outfielder Wily Mo Pena for assignment to create a roster spot of Clay Buchholz. That would give the Sox 10 days to either trade or release Pena. If Buchholz comes up, he could be optioned back to the PawSox after the game, creating an opening for veteran outfielder Bobby Kielty."

When Hayes said that the adminsitration has never questioned anyone's patriotism, Stewart was almost too flustered to respond.
