Vacant Horizon

Not a day goes by that I don't wonder if I'm part of the deluded group. It's nuts out there. Comments like this really bring me back to reality. Thanks! Very good point about the Right being against anything that is an actual threat. It's classic projection. Bring up racism and BAM, it's the Left and the Blacks who are racist.

More people die from armed toddlers than terror attacks.

I work at a school that is 1/3 Hispanic and 1/3 Muslim. When I hear people say, 'well, life goes on' I become livid. It does not go on for these kids. They are completely on edge. As we did at the airport, I will stand right in front of these kids if someone comes to take them. My own kids are seeing what's going on as a result of my wife and I talking about it in front of them all the time. They went to the women's march with us and the airport. They've seen the matrix. No going back. Would you want to though? I personally am sick to my stomach all the time. It's surreal!

Neal is killing it here!!

I can't keep up with CRB. I'm still digesting the first two albums. Big Moon is classic. Magic Door has 3 great tunes and the rest seem like outtakes. In a recent vid interview about their gear, Chris said they are going into the studio in Jan to record a more acoustic-based album. Should be interesting.

Yes that helped! Thanks so much. I miss the old layout too. Websites are just becoming so busy and cluttered. You'd think archive would be more straight forward since it's entire purpose is for research. Music collections could be listed alphabetically then on the collection page, year links posted prominently. That should lead to shows by tour date with 'other copies' right below. It'd also be nice if 'aud/sbd' was listed right there as well. Thanks again!

I need some help. How do you navigate archive.org? I'm to get some Ratdog and can't for the life of me get the shows to show up in a list according to the tour date. It's all these random lists or icons. I'm so confused. Not sure why when you click the year you don't get a list of tour dates and the available copies below it. Thanks for any help :-)

There's so much out there at this point. I kind of feel like giving up! Started several series over the last few months and can't finish one. Westworld, Stranger Things, Luke Cage, Tall Man in the Castle (or whatever the fuck it's called). Started OA last night. Ugh. It's like I'm on TV overload. I'm burned out on these mystery-laden sci fi shows, fantasy shows, dumb millennial comedies, insulting over 40 dramadies. Not sure what's worth watching these days. Maybe I'll go back to watch the Office. Never watched that. Guilty pleasures though...The Flash, Walking Dead, Star Wars Rebels. Saw R

thanks! i got it figured out. i wish they were labeled appropriately rather than all 'wilco'.

I can't find any Tweedy shows in the roadcase section. Maybe there are none?

Any quick recommendations? I want to get a few with this sale going on!

Less dense than Furthur, which I like. Mayer definitely sounds great on guitar. Singing is tough to take. Also, is it possible he plays too many notes?! :-) Oteil and John are definitely making this band rehears. Wish Oteil was louder in the mix though. He was starting to open up last tour. So, I've been thinking about who will carry the mantel as the boys move on (in one way or another). Jeff is in and

This is so scary. We had 'white power' chants at two big universities in town. Also saw several American flags being flown in a row of houses where Hispanic folks live. I stand with these victims of outright racism.

There are lots of people that really have no choice in ignoring his rhetoric. Saying we need to move on is like dismissing his sexism as 'locker room talk'. I'm usually quite cynical about American politics. I have that privilege. I can walk down the street and no one would know I'm a Marxist. However, when a president sends men and women to war based on lies or when a president blatantly scapegoats whole cultures...I have to pay attention and do something and absolutely not let it go. Where is the line if this is just dismissed as rhetoric? Will the next candidate finally be held accountabl

This pic, along with the headline Wed morning totally look like what you'd see in the Onion. It's surreal.

I've enjoyed that one too. Love Saint. I'm not too familiar with that tour. There's gotta be some more highlights.

Nice interpretation. (not being sarcastic) I hate to say it, but you may be giving 'them' more credit than they deserve. I didn't hear much from Trump supporters concerning economic matters. It was more xenophobia, fear of terrorism and 'someone to shake things up'. Of course, standard of living is going to hell for the majority of Americans...even those with degrees. We are the ones that end up paying for everything the government does. Not the elite rich and not the ones who have no money. So Obama and Clinton were no better. Government has the roll of funneling money from worker to capit

There are explanations for Trumps behavior, but they are not excuses. The fact that this man got away with locker room talk, saying 'Mexicans' are rapers and should be sent home, 'Blacks' live in squalid cities and essentially all Muslims are terrorists AND was elected president is astounding to me. Nothing has surprised me more in my 43 years. I know children who are scared shitless or being deported or their parents 'disappeared' (yes, kids actually know about that). I know many Muslim women who are actually thinking about not wearing their head scarf, which is an absolute assault on their

http://www.phishjustjams.com/ pretty cool site that just has the jams from most shows that are available. i think it's all aud recordings. i've been skipping to the jams lately, so this just does it for you. trying to go through 2.0. some good stuff there. also, tom marshall is starting a new podcast called under the scales. i think it comes out tomorrow. might be cool to hear his perspective on things.

Rock Solid-music topics (songs from '74 etc.) with hilarious discussions from the UBC type LA comedians. Decibel Geek-discussions/interviews about all types of metal. I'm not a huge fan, but I love how they break down songs and interview artists about their writing process. Most recent episode had Skid Row! Counterspin-critical look at recent media stories.

I think very song on Highway Companion could be a single. So great! Petty is one of the only artists that's managed to put out quality music over his entire career. Each album has at least a few excellent tunes while the rest are more than listenable. Hell, the last Mudcrutch album was great. I think about him compared to Neil Young and his decades of shit music and Petty deserves to be in the top three.

acoustic neil always interests me. i've a bit of these. sound pretty good. some are not so good. indian giver is pretty bad.

I think I'm going to vote early too. For some reason, I remember going to the police station by Target last time. There was a huge line! I always get worried about early voting. Like my vote will get lost or something

Good to hear. Last time a I saw them was outside, so sound wasn't the best. I'm seeing them in Nov. I'm getting spoiled as they come around 2 times a year. I've seen them so many times. Better each time. Saw Betty at show last fall. There is supposed to be an official release of some Betty Blends again, but not heard any more about it. Regarding Casal, he is just one cool dude. Great stage presence and not flashy. Just stands up there and plays, like my favorite bands :-). Don't think I've heard him play a B-Bender. Can't wait! He's in 3 of my current favorite bands...Circles A
