Wilco75

Well seconds ago on c.s.i miami, just heard you are not alone. not really wilco, but jeff's on it, so i guess that counts don't it?

From Huffpo and various sources:It's safe to assume that most Velvet Underground fans never imagined that "All Tomorrow's Parties" would end up referring to Tea Party rallies in Georgia.

The legendary band's followers and admirers are buzzing about reports that drummer Maureen "Moe" Tucker showed up at a Tea Party rally earlier this year and expressed her anger that the government is leading the country to socialism.

A woman identified as Maureen Tucker was interviewed by news station WALB-TV at a rally in Tifton, Georgia last April, expressing her fury:

"I'm furious about the way we're being led towards socialism. I'm furious about the incredible waste of money when things that we really need and are important get dropped because there's no money left."

The Tea Party Patriots, one of the largest umbrella groups of Tea Party activists, has a page for Tucker on its website, in which she urges activists to write to "King Obama":

"DONT WAIT FOR A TEA PARTY - SEND HIM A LETTER/POSTCARD! YOU'LL FEEL BETTER!! KING OBAMA THE WHITE HOUSE WASH; DC 20500".

According to the Guardian, Tucker says she has also been protesting against cap and trade, the administration's proposal to stem global warming.

Tucker continues: "This 'administration' HAS TO GO! I have come to believe (not just wonder) that Obama's plan is to destroy America from within. It is the only reasonable explanation for his actions/inactions!"

Tucker, who has also performed with Half Japanese and released her own albums on small labels during the 1980s and 1990s, has lived in a small town in Georgia for several decades.

Reached at her home by The Huffington Post, Tucker confirmed her identity but she refused to discuss her appearance at the rally or her political views.

Reports of Tucker's Tea Party affiliation aroused mixed feelings from fans -- on Prefix magazine's story, comments ranged from plenty of support to some disappointment.

Don't know if this was posted, just a heads up on tomorrow's late show with david letterman, mavis staples and jeff tweedy perform!

I just bought ST on vinyl and I had serious skipping on Cant Stand It.

 

Sounds great, tho ...

You won't believe this, but i played my copy which i received yesterday,and there was a tiny skip,of course during can't stand it, but now playing it at least four times the skip is gone,don't,know what happened but glad the vinyl is okay now. so glad i finally picked this one up.nice packaging by the way.

Yeah when it came out some people had skipping issues.

 

If you set up your turntable correctly with the correct tracking weight, it shouldn't skip. I played a copy through, all four sides, and I didn't get any skipping. The packaging and the vinyl are amazing, and it really does the album justice. Just buy it!!

I took the chance and ordered it,i can't get enough of that album,it never gets old.

I bought this on Record Store Day and it skipped about ten times before making it through a verse of Can't Stand It. I chalked it up to me needing a new needle (which I haven't gone out and got)...hadn't read about the skipping issues. Wilco75, did you read about that on VC?

i thought i read some of that here, and using google and seen some were saying it,and i think amazon.com i didn't know who to beleive lol

get it. don't think, just get it.

mine didn't skip.... however my copy of A.M. does on "Too Far Apart" hoping it will fix after a few more listens

I will get it, thanks for your input

I agree with Sarah, if you enjoy vinyl, then get it. Surely not all skip, turn tables matter to the skipping, I guess the pressing too... Just enjoy it either way... if Summerteeth is the only one you need then you must get it to make a complete set of vinyl, I'm a ways off from having all on vinyl, but I will some day

Thanks for your input as well

I'm really on the fence about this one, it's the only one i need,getting the digital dl and the bonus disc is almost enough, but i really like to own the lp, were all the lp's skipping? i've seen some complaints here and there.

Sorry in advance if this was posted already,this is a free download album, best of bonnaroo, wilco,rat dog, jack johnson, pearl jam etc. thought you guys/gals here might be intrested.it's a climate change website.

Paul McCartney is set to issue live CD/DVD packages of his gigs at New York's Citi Field venue that took place in July earlier this year, on November 23.

The standard release of 'Good Evening New York City' will feature two CDs and a DVD. A deluxe edition will feature an additional DVD featuring McCartney's performance at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The live album will also be issued on vinyl.

The gigs, at which McCartney played songs by The Beatles and Wings, as well as selections from his solo back catalogue, took place on July 17, 18 and 21.

They were significant for McCartney as The Beatles played the venue in 1965 when it was known as Shea Stadium.

"It was three great nights for the band and for me personally," he said. "It was very exciting to be back opening a new stadium on the site of the old Shea Stadium where we had played 44 years previously.”

Referring to the fans' screaming back in the '60s, McCartney said the gigs were “even more exciting because this time round you could hear us!"

Updated-Multi-Disc CD/DVD Special Package Features Dazzling Performances of Beatles, Wings and Solo Classics From Citi Field, Formerly Shea Stadium, Historic Site of The Beatles’ Landmark 1965 Concert

US Release – 17th November

FROM HEAR MUSIC/CONCORD MUSIC GROUP

UK Release – 23rd November

Mercury Records

“It was three great nights for the band and for me personally it was very exciting to be back opening a new stadium on the site of the old Shea Stadium where we had played 44 years previously. Even more exciting because this time round you could hear us!”

Paul McCartney's historic three-night musical christening of New York's Citi Field, witnessed by 120,000-plus attendees and universally hailed as a concert experience for the ages, will be immortalized November 17 when Hear Music/Concord Music Group releases “Good Evening New York City”. This momentous musical experience will be available in two formats: a 3-disc (2 CD + 1 DVD) standard edition and a 4-disc (2 CD + 2 DVD) deluxe version featuring expanded packaging and a bonus DVD including McCartney's traffic-stopping, headline-making July 15 performance on the Ed Sullivan Theater marquee (including bonus numbers not aired on the Late Show with David Letterman broadcast). The set will also be made available in high quality vinyl. In any configuration, the 30+ songs and nearly 3 hours of music comprising “Good Evening New York City” are a must-have for attendees wishing to relive the July 17, 18 & 21 shows, those who couldn't get tickets and/or anyone interested in an audiovisual document of a living legend. “Good Evening New York City” marks McCartney’s 2nd release for Hear Music. The first was 2007’s highly acclaimed Memory Almost Full. The standard version of “Good Evening New York City” will be available at participating Starbucks company-operated locations in the U.S. and Canada and wherever music is sold.

As the inaugural musical event at Citi Field, the site of the former Shea Stadium, the July 2009 shows held special significance not only for McCartney but for generations of his fans. The shows were performed on the same hallowed ground that The Beatles, in 1965, played the 34-minute show that would set the precedent for the modern day stadium rock show--and where in 2008 McCartney joined Billy Joel for the final rock show before the original stadium's demolition. As documented on “Good Evening New York City”, "I'm Down" from the 1965 set list was revived for the Citi Field shows, albeit this time played through a PA that was not overpowered by screaming fans (though there were still several thousand who tried). Other highlights of “Good Evening New York City” include faithful takes on Beatles classics "Drive My Car," "Got To Get You Into My Life," "The Long And Winding Road," "Blackbird," "Eleanor Rigby," "Back In The USSR," "Paperback Writer," "Let It Be," "Hey Jude," "Helter Skelter" and more, plus "Something" rendered on ukulele gifted to Paul by George Harrison, and a tribute to John Lennon in the form of a medley of "A Day In The Life" and "Give Peace A Chance." Wings era chestnuts include “Band On The Run," "My Love," "Let Me Roll It" and the pyrotechnic tour de force of "Live And Let Die," while timeless McCartney solo material ranges from "Here Today" to the upbeat "Flaming Pie" and "Dance Tonight" to a pair of numbers from Electric Arguments, the 2008 album released under the alias of The Fireman.

The concert footage featured on “Good Evening New York City” standard edition features concert footage directed by Paul Becher, who has overseen live visuals for McCartney for some 200 performances and counting. The 33-song 2 hour 40 minute performances were shot in High Definition using 15 cameras and digital footage incorporated from 75 Flipcams handed out to fans over the course of the three night stand. The audio mix, in both stereo and 5.1, was handled by longtime McCartney engineer Paul Hicks, whose credits include the recent Beatles remasters, The Beatles Anthology, Let It Be... Naked, and two Grammy awards for his mixing work on the Beatles' Love album.

The deluxe edition bonus DVD will feature footage of McCartney's July 15 performance on the outdoor marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater, previously available only as a webcast on the Late Show with David Letterman website. The marquee set, which marked McCartney's return to the site of The Beatles U.S. television debut, generated front page headlines and literally stopped traffic as word of mouth generated a crowd that packed Broadway from Columbus Circle to Times Square.

Paul McCartney's July 17-21 Citi Field stand has already been unanimously hailed by critics and audiences alike as the concert experience of a lifetime. On November 17, “Good Evening New York City” will document it for the ages.

LOS ANGELES – Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into viewers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.

"Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf. No other details were given.

Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer.

He had kept working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting "The Beast," an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot. It drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran in 2009, but A&E said it had reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.

Swayze said he opted not to use painkilling drugs while making "The Beast" because they would have taken the edge off his performance. He acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease.

When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was "considerably more optimistic" than that.

"I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking," Swayze told ABC's Barbara Walters in early 2009. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."

A three-time Golden Globe nominee, Swayze became a star with his performance as the misunderstood bad-boy Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing." As the son of a choreographer who began his career in musical theater, he seemed a natural to play the role.

A coming-of-age romance starring Jennifer Grey as an idealistic young woman on vacation with her family and Swayze as the Catskills resort's sexy (and much older) dance instructor, the film made great use of both his grace on his feet and his muscular physique.

It became an international phenomenon in the summer of 1987, spawning albums, an Oscar-winning hit song in "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," stage productions and a sequel, 2004's "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights," in which he made a cameo.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Punk-rock poet and musician Jim Carroll, who chronicled his wild teen years in "The Basketball Diaries," has died of a heart attack, his ex-wife told The New York Times.

Rosemary Klemfuss, who was married to Carroll in 1978 before they divorced in the mid-1980s, said he died on Friday at his Manhattan home. He was 60, the newspaper said on Sunday, although other biographical profiles listed his age as 59.

Carroll's most famous work, "The Basketball Diaries," was published in 1978. In it, he wrote of his wild youth as both a basketball star and a drug abuser during his teen years at Manhattan's private Trinity school, was made into a 1995 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Pioneering punk-rock singer Patti Smith told the newspaper "I met him in 1970, and already he was pretty much universally recognized as the best poet of his generation."

"The work was sophisticated and elegant," said Smith, who helped usher Carroll into a music career that included songs such as "People Who Died" and "Catholic Boy."

Carroll also worked with rockers from Lou Reed and The Doors to Pearl Jam and Rancid.

Carroll, a fixture on Manhattan's downtown punk-rock scene, saw his poetry lauded by Beat Generation icons including Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. His work was published in The Paris Review, and he worked at Andy Warhol's Factory and on the pop artist's films.

i'd like to have another autumn defense record. or loose fur would be nice, i really enjoyed the last loose fur record.

since lps are coming out and with their bonus cd's does that mean it's their first remastered attempt for st, bt and a.m. and do you think the cd's may sound alot better then they did when they came out in the 90's? hope i'm making sense here lol

i love the ep version and still do to this day it just sounds better to me, slow and i guess more organic if that makes sense, i loved the soundstage version and the ep sounds so much alike.

can't be any more awkward than his Colbert appearance was.

Oh yeah i forgot about that one, hopefully dave won't mention A-rod if paul happens to catch a game while he's in new york! lol

it will be intresting seeing that he's never met dave lol

I bet if sarah palin's album comes out it would have a moose on the cover.and if your a vinyl fan the gatefold would have her family pictured and behind them a beautiful view of russia

i spent $99 for an Emerson turntable at K-Mart. i then bought a $65 surround sound set-up from Walmart and have had 0 problems with any of the equipment. you can sometimes find turntables for $50 at either K-Mart or Big Lots when they're on sale.

i seen a record player at big lots for 45.00, i had bought one at k-mart already for a much higher price,i didn't understand why people liked vinyl so much but once i bought sbs on vinyl,my first, i was hooked right away and now i get almost everything on vinyl i can find, it's nice to have a poster and more art inside to look at not to mention a place for lyrics too.

LONDON (Reuters) – British actress Mollie Sugden, best-known for her role as Mrs Slocombe in the television comedy series "Are You Being Served?," has died at the age of 86.

Her agent Joan Reddin told newspapers Sugden died on Wednesday after a long illness. "She was a lovely, lovely person. She was a great professional," Reddin said.

With her hair highly coiffed and referring frequently to her "pussy," Sugden played the bossy Mrs Slocombe throughout the run of the BBC's innuendo-laden Are You Being Served? between 1972 and 1985.

Re-runs of the show in the United States in the 1990s gained her a new audience overseas.

"She was great fun, a very good actress, very versatile. She could play serious stuff and comedy," said Frank Thornton, who played opposite Sugden in the series as the stuffy floorwalker Captain Peacock.

"It was a very happy show to work on -- you can't play comedy with people you dislike," he told BBC television.

Mark Freeland, head of BBC comedy, said she was one of television's iconic funny women.

"Her daftly enormous purple rinse and never-to-be-forgotten catchphrase are the stuff of comedy legend," he said.

Sugden had also found success in the BBC TV comedy series "The Liver Birds" and played an occasional role as pub landlady Nellie Harvey in the long-running ITV soap opera "Coronation Street."
