One reason to love the cd artifact is for the booklet that I'm sure a lot of us have signed. I keep forgetting, along with Michael McDonald, that I have booklets signed by Ryan Adams and Jimmy Gnecco (Ours) to name a few. The others I can't remember because they're lost in my closet tucked away until I decide to take them out. I don't want to be that guy that gives a musician a cheap printout of iTunes artwork to autograph. I'd rather use a post it. And I have in fact! I had Tim Blake Nelson (Delmar in O Brother) sign a post it because that's all that I had to give him.

http://www.ryanadamsarchive.com/torrents.php This is a pretty good link to begin with. I know that there's others that you can probably find through that links link page. I know that my best friend downloads/ed anything that he put/s out. I'll ask him what's top notch. For some reason the Pink Heart sessions come into my mind and Suicide Handbook? Wow, how some titles cease to be erased from one's memory. Unless, of course if I'm wrong. PS Said best friend got to open for Ryan in June of 2005 at the Starland Ballroom.(long story. I know it's posted on here somewhere by me) Check it out o

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Let Steven Join The Band Again

Tyler Vs. Perry ? Too soon?

They just found Steven's replacement. See how this turns out.

Great article. I agree with Brian Eno.

Apparently, there's a giant wind tunnel coming at him.

Perhaps some artists feel that the non-singles are just filler and why bother releasing them if they don't play them live. It's almost as if they never happened. To use Analogman's Ryan Adams example, I don't really recall every song off of Cardinology. He played about 5 songs off of the cd when I saw him last. So if one releases singles and they become big because it's only one song to grow on maybe an artist will play that live and then dig back deeper into their catalog. LOL. Edit: The LOL is there because digging back deeper usually means the album tracks. It only really satisfies a

What does this guy have to do with Aerosmith?

As someone who has had a fluctuation in funds in the past few years, I buy a lot of music at iTunes. Now, the only cds I will buy are from people like Wilco, U2, R.E.M., & Pearl Jam to name a few. Since I became a big user of my several iPods I found it strange to keep buying cds, since I don't play them as much. I can tell the difference in sound, but I don't want to get into an accident by changing my cds while driving. That's why we invented text messaging. Once things turn around for me financially, I may switch back to all cd since there is only an extra 2-4 dollar difference. Bu

That's kind of how I feel. A half shrug about to applaud. And no I'm not a 70 year old sex therapist seen on beyond late night tv. As someone from the Boston area, I guess I'm one of the few who never really like them. Edit: Granted, I feel bad for the diehard Aerosmith fans. Although, the cynic in me feels like this is the beginning of a long scheme leading up to the next summer concert season where they announce their reunion/farewell tour that will last 2-3 years.

My Top Films of 2001 (in release date order). 15 Minutes Memento Blow Moulin Rouge A.I. Made Ghost World The Others Zoolander Mulholland Drive (definitely my favorite of this year and will be up in the Top Five for decade) Waking Life Donnie Darko The Man Who Wasn't There Tape In The Bedroom Ocean's 11 The Royal Tenenbaums Vanilla Sky The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring A Beautiful Mind Black Hawk Down I guess this was a big year for films for me. 21 seems like a bit much especially if I'm trying to whittle them down to the whole decade. LOL. Oh well, I felt compelled to lis

Yep. I'm very thankful for this.

Are 8 posts a record for getting the boot from VC? It's clear that this guy/girl came on here to cause stuff. Or am I generalizing too? Anyways, it was good reading while one suffers a sudden onslaught of insomnia. And kudos to Kidsmoke for handling the situation. My lunch money is safe...or is it?

This is me after "the incident"...

I'm glad to see films like Before Sunset, A Scanner Darkly, and Northfork in here. I'm a bit surprised to see Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind missing. This film has stuck with me since I saw it in January of 2003. While I won't go into everything that I loved about it right now, I'll start off by saying that George Clooney did a hell of a job first time feature film directing. Sam Rockwell was fucking amazing. Newton Thomas Sigel's camera work was beyond beautiful - all of those old fashion in-camera tricks was insane. As well as the use of desaturated/saturated colors. Charlie Kaufman adapt

Beltmann, I would love to see your syllabus for that Film as Social Criticism class. I've always wanted to teach a film class like that. One of my greatest memories of going to film school was watching a film with my peers and having us discuss it.

That's a mighty fine list of films. A lot of directors that I respect and love up there. LOL. That may look like my list when I finalize it. Although, I haven't seen Amores Perros. I have been told amazing things about it. Bubba Ho-Tep I actually just bought this past summer for a dollar at a going out of business sale. I have yet to watch it. Edit: My preliminary list didn't have Magnolia on it. Probably because my reference site (thenumbers) has it listed as being released in 1999. It got a wide release on January 7, 2000. Damn. Another PTA film I have to fit in. This is going to be

I already have my mind made on one specific list: The Best Martin Scorsese Film of this Decade. The Suspects: 2002's Gangs Of New York 2004's The Aviator 2005's No Direction Home 2006's The Departed 2008's Shine A Light The Aviator closely beats out The Departed but not by too much in my book. One of the "downfalls" of The Departed is on the repeat viewings. Granted this proved to be one of the most shocking somewhat satisfying endings ever. But once you've seen it you tend to pay attention to all that precedes it. This is all amazing stuff to keep you completely in the story, but we all k

Bono & Don Knots on stage (file photo not found ) Damn you AP I agree. Not sure why Bono has the bug for Black Eyed Peas. My spidey sense is tingling: maybe Fergie and Bono get along more than friendly. Luckily, I saw Snow Patrol with U2 in September. I really hoped for Muse but next time. I guess I'd like to look at Fergie too instead of the dudes from Snow Patrol & Muse. Although, she is nothing great. But I'm reminded of her hot scenes from Planet Terror. I'm torn like Natalie Imbruglia.

This has been an amazing release. I luckily got to hear some of these songs on their 2003/04/08 tour/s. It's good for people who don't want to plop down the money for their albums pre-Green. 39 songs. That's pretty amazing. 2.5 hours. Itty Bitty Complaint - Drive, I'm Gonna DJ & Cuyahoga were all featured on their other Live cd. I'd replace them with Life & How To Live It (which they played a lot), Departure and Ignoreland. Not 100% sure if they did those songs in Dublin during these rehearsals.

That reminds me I have to run out and buy this today before it goes up in price tomorrow. I picked up R.E.M.'s Live At The Olympia 1st on Tuesday. Which is quite amazing. Got to give the boys from Athens all the credit in the world for going back into their catalog on every tour and pulling out gems. U2 should take note. Although, on their Vertigo tour they did pull out a lot from Boy and Gloria from October. This tour we got The Unforgettable Fire and Ultraviolet (both of which are amazing and in my upper echelon of U2 tunes) but every hit came with it. blah blah blah
