I can only think of 4.

Was that Peter Wolfe?

Sometimes I can't see images that are posted here - this is one. Can you post a link? Although on second thought, if you post a link, I will probably be able to figure out the answer so forget it.

I can't imagine that many people here know Rough Trade? I can't answer the question (was it something dirty?) but I did see a copy of the Rough Trade Direct to Disc album in the Salvation Army the other day.

If it sounds good, then it's ok. As for the dust, start by using the paper sleeve/dust jacket. I'm not a scientist but I think the majority of the dust is attracted due to static elecricity. In the day, there were variouis products you could buy. Most popular were different kinds of "brushes" and cloths that sometimes had some sort of anti-static properties. You could also buy anti static "guns". There were specifically designed for the purpose - it's a fairly delicate thing but an lp can take some degree of abuse. I haven't looked for these in years but I'm sure you could get one in a

OK, I know vinyl is staging a comeback but the newest Cheap Trick album is going to be available on 8 track. Did I miss something? http://cheaptrick.shop.musictoday.com/Product.aspx?cp=10_21036&pc=CTAM64

I long ago spent the $12 refund or whatever it was for a Led Zeppelin show that got cancelled. I certainly wish I had kept that ticket.

So does this mean we get more beatles stuff now?

I suspect the battle over the estate will rage on for years and years. I have heard stories about his finances being a mess. Just the reprecussions of refunding tickets for 50 concerts and reconciling that against the cause of death is probably a billion dollar issue. And I think Sony already owns half the rights to the Beatles songs anyway. -
He led his life like Benjamin Button. He was born an adult - there's no way a kid should have been able to pull off stuff like "I Want You Back", "I'll Be There," or "Never Can Say Goodbye". Then, as others have said, as he "grew up" he tried to live the childhood he never had when he was young. I believe he truly had lost his mind but he lived a life none of the rest of us could ever comprehend. That doesn't forgive the things he did but he could certainly make a truly convincing case for pleading insanity for just about everything that happened to him. His talent was monstrous. Huge.

At the risk of being a crap-head bubble-burster, Bruce is playing Bonnaroo that weekend so not likely to happen. On the other hand, the stories above are absolutely authentic. Seeing Josh at a venue here called the Black Sheep Inn was total magic. He is a spellbinding, joyous performer. I'm waiting for some shows in this area 'cause it's been a couple of years now and I'm due. Have a great trip.

The Hold Steady, new leg of 2009 tour
bobfrombob replied to Mrs. Peel's topic in Someone Else's Song
Looks like another Bowery show has been added on the 9th. Why didn't I get an email from the Hold Steady? And why is Ithica as close as they get? Those are rhetorical questions really - I don't expect anybody to be able to answer those. Ah, to hell with it. I'm in for Ithica. -

http://www.stompintom.com/index.htm Born in Saint John, New Brunswick February 9, 1936 An imagination taller than the Rocky Mountains. A wanderlust that has taken him further than a Northern Ontario bush pilot. A guitar, a pair of boots, and a knack for writing songs about Canada can only begin to describe the man that Canada has come to know and love as Stompin' Tom Connors. Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Tom's youngest years were spent living hand-to-mouth with his mother, until he was taken from her and placed in the care of the Children's Aid. From there, he was adopted into -

Forgive me for saying so but if you own a cell phone jammer, it should be illegal for you to go to a concert without it.
