See. This is how people might wind up taking pictures of their junk and hoo hahs. Why aren't you watching the Mavs and Heat?

I came across the following press release for the festival while looking for info on the film shorts being presented. I was surprised to find this .PDF file via google search and nowhere on the Solid Sound official site. In it is some nice information about 7 New exhibits and other stuff that may not be known that I will highlight. *(update: OK. The exhibits are listed on the site, but not much info is given unlike in this press release.)

Hmm...so it is ok to put a joke up in here about incest, but when you make a joke about a gay man who ingests a bowl of chili and has a gastroenterological reaction to it that reminds him of a sex act with his dead lover, it gets deleted. A lot of the jokes in this thread are dirty and can be offensive to just about anyone. The one above mine had Trump getting a bj. It should be noted that a gay friend of mine told me that joke (like that matters). And the second joke in my post was told to me in front of my cousin whose mother had a colostomy bag from cancer. He laughed. Humor heals in strang

Wow. I am enamored with that setlist.

Well, it's all based on principle. While I respect his original way of expressing himself, in a sports world of overused cliches, I don't like the message that he was giving off. We talked about this way before the minor league thing was brought up. It came off as very "well, I may retire because of my injuries, although I might take a contract that looks nice and break down by mid season and who cares. It's the ballclub's risk and not mine." Things like that don't really work in other professions where someone makes a statement about retiring and talking about being old or not being able to d

You don't remember the Bonderman talk last summer that spanned 4 pages or so? LOL I'm glad that he's sitting out (possibly retired for good) after saying something along the lines of "well, I'd like to retire due to injuries, but if I can get a contract that I like then I'll come back" I'd rather see the Tigers let one of their minor leaguers get the call up and start games, instead of someone who has a past history of breaking down. We've been over this before. Edit: All of this occurred to me after the Red Sox played them over the weekend. I thought that he might have been in the pen,

Enough with the Buster Posey story. Let's all sit and bask in the glow that is the current situation that is Jeremy Bonderman: he's still a free agent.

Listening to a webcast is one way to get a setlist before Bbop (Paul a.k.a. Setlistguy) posts it.

This has been really fantastic so far. I think it's a good mix of the pristine audio and the band because everything sounds very fresh especially Kamera.

Not to sound snarky, but did you press play on the little box that should show the name WIlco in it? I had to do this to get the stream. KEXP Link not NPR Works

Well, at least yours had a bit more footage....

In celebration of their 20 year anniversary, Pearl Jam is set to release the feature film Pearl Jam Twenty, a definitive portrait of the band as told by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker and music journalist, Cameron Crowe. The captivating documentary gives fans and audiences an intimate first glimpse into Pearl Jam’s journey culled from more than 1,200 hours of rarely and never-before-seen footage, over 24 hours of recent interviews with the band, as well as live footage of their spellbinding concert performances." "Pearl Jam Twenty will enjoy a unique, simultaneous worldwide theatrical rele

Are you even ready for how fricken awesome this is? I'm so there! There is life after doing shit for Han Solo.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRLjxjS72Gg&feature=player_embedded Thanks to MeDave (via his FB)

No. If that persons point of reference for a political activist rock star is Bono then they shouldn't be trusted because that type of thing has only been around since the 80s...obviously Very unoriginal theory by whoever that was. I understand why people get upset when musicians make political commentary during a live setting, but to completely give up on them is infantile. I never understood the "shouldn't be discussing politics, they should only be rocking and asking me to put my hands up and/or lighters out". So artists, actors and musicians should just shut the fuck up when it comes to

I can see problems with people listed from Lady Antebellum to Josh Groban, but Elvis, Elton, CSN, James Taylor, Norah Jones and Sheryl Crow (sometimes) are pretty respectable to me. Who would you have had instead, if you had a time machine?

This actually was already recorded from January 2010 where Wilco did Broken Arrow.

Saturday, 5/28 at 9pm EST Musicians pay tribute and honor Neil Young as the 2010 MusiCares Person of the Year by covering some of his biggest hits. Features performances by Elton John, Elvis Costello, Crosby Stills and Nash, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones, Lady Antebellum, Dave Matthews, Ben Harper, Keith Urban, Josh Groban and more. *I'm assuming they will show Wilco. I haven't checked to see how long this broadcast will run.

Although, there were reported earthquakes on Saturday in New Zealand and Indonesia and a volcano erupting in Iceland. Pastor Camping could use this as evidence, after he's done counting other people's money.

I posted this pic in the other specific thread. Thanks though this is much bigger.

Hmm. I'm not sure if you are referring to the songs that were played or not. If you are referring to the setlist then I would have to disagree with you. Over the course of 2 years this tour has been changed and rearranged. Some new, unreleased songs were played. Some rarely played songs were dusted off. A lot of the songs off the new album went into the retirement home early. BUT U2 does a very nice job on this specific leg thus far to keep everything well balanced. I think every album was represented (there was a Discotheque snippet in I'll Go Crazy Tonight). And it just wasn't the hits. Yo

Enjoy! Thanks to social media.

^ Yeah, I'd agree with your theory. I know of Harmon and my dad either has or had his autographed baseball. He collected all of the 500 Club. I never saw him play being only 32, so I feel a bit fake to put something in that thread. I still obviously feel bad that he died the way that he did, but there's no real connection there for me. I probably felt a smidgen of a bit more for someone like Liz Taylor who I feel that I know through films.
