    SNL!

    It definitely works with VLC, the best media player in existence. Free, cross-platform, open source and it plays just about anything. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

    Grammys

    It's a small world: Nels' former Geraldine Fibbers bandmate Jessy Greene was up there with the Foos.
  7. No experience with tinnitus, but I purchased several pairs of these a few years ago: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er20.aspx I gave a pair to each of my kids and keep the rest in my car, suitcase, camera bag, etc. and they've probably saved me from ruining my hearing any more than that Van Halen concert did in 1979.
  8. Clicking on the link appears to transmit some unique identification info back to the website. My guess is that clicking the link in the e-mail automatically registers the associated e-mail address for the contest.
  9. From Carla's mailing list. (Scarnella is the name of the Nels/Carla project. Evangelista is the name of her new band.) + + + so...... i DO apologize for not announcing the gig on jan 4 at the smell's 10th annivesary. don't be mad. it was a last minute decision--- the first scarnella show in a couple of years. it was fun. we're doing it again in a few days at Pehrspace in echo park, ca and nels is unveiling a new technique for guitar non-enthusiasts. yaaa haaa. Monday Feb 4th 9:30 pm $5 all ages short sets. we'll probably play 3rd or 4th or who knows? come see the whole thing and brin
  10. Sell Out, Tommy, Live at Leeds, Who's Next and Quadrophenia, perhaps? Same years, basically. 1968-1973 were arguably the 6 best years in rock and roll history.
  11. All of the "experts" advise consumers to wait it out. A decent upconverting DVD player costs about $60 and regular DVDs look pretty darn good. There's only Blu-Ray in my house (son's PS3) but 2 reasons to root for HD DVD: 1) HD DVD discs are region-free. You can buy a movie in Europe and it'll work in your North American player. But Blu-Ray discs are locked to a specific geographic region. 2) SONY. The same people who brought us proprietary stuff like ATRAC, Betamax, Memory Stick, CDs with root kits, etc. They really like to shove their technology down the consumer's throat and the publi
  12. I'll rip it from the .TS file (hi-def video) that I downloaded from Usenet a few weeks ago. I assume it's the highest quality audio available anywhere. Here it is.
  13. London Pride Young's Special Theakstons Old Peculiar ^ Are always on the shelves of my local grocery store in San Antonio.
  14. VLC is a media player, not a DVD creator or encoder. Most major DVD burning software titles (Nero on PC, Toast on Mac, etc.) will probably allow you to convert an AVI to DVD.
  15. Ok, I managed to join the files on my iBook. It seems that Zipeg doesn't handle 7zip files like I'd expected. Download Drop7Zip here: http://emulation.victoly.com/download/ Just drop the .001 file onto the Drop7Zip icon and it should begin extracting everything to an Xvid AVI file. It'll play perfectly with VLC. I guess that's what I get for converting the hi-def .TS (transport stream) file to AVI on my Mac and then splitting it on a PC.
  16. VLC plays just about anything. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
  17. I hate Stuffit, so I have no idea if it works for spanned archives. I'd expect it to, but I refuse to put that junk on my Mac to try it out. It might be easiest to just give Zipeg a shot.
  18. They're just spanned Zips. If you're using Windows, 7-Zip (free) will work. Just right-click on the first file and choose "extract here." Something like that. http://www.7-zip.org/ Mac users should be able to use something like Zipeg (free) http://www.zipeg.com/zipeg.html I would think that any software that can handle Zip files should be able to extract spanned Zip files.
  19. A 630MB Xvid version taken from the high-def broadcast. Sendspace has a 300MB limit, so the file was broken into 3 200MB zip files which extract to create the video file. Worked for me. http://www.sendspace.com/file/8itgjs http://www.sendspace.com/file/nxovv6 http://www.sendspace.com/file/zki03z
  20. Someone's uploading it to Usenet in the alt.binaries.hdtv newsgroup. It's the full 1080i HD stream and therefore about 5.5 GB in size. It'd make a good master for the presumed DVD torrent that will eventually be posted. I'm sure a smaller (500-700 MB) Xvid version will show up within a day or two.
  21. That'd be great, but it might get kind of crowded if the rumored tour video for next year pans out.
  22. No, they played about 90 minutes (16 songs, I think) so only about half of it will air. The cameraman mentioned something about 44 minutes after intros, credits, commercials, interviews, etc.
