  1. Thank you very much for the you tube link. NICE

     

    I too saw ATCQ at the palooza and I would have to say the pumpkins were the worst act that evening.

    Dont forget about The Pharcyde on the second stage. George Clinton, uh huh

     

    I was just talking 5 minutes ago at lunch about how the Pumpkins were the most boring band I've ever seen. The Beasties and Tribe stole that show, no doubt. I was right in front for both, and almost had a coronary when Q-Tip came out to do Get It Together with the B Boys.

  2. It's kinda crazy that both of their best performances (imo) were in the first thing they'd ever done (& the one movie that most people never saw). I still watch Bottle Rocket at least once a month. It makes me happy on so many levels.

     

    "The Lawn Wranglers". The name still makes me chuckle even after all these years. That is an excellent movie.

  3. The tracklisting for the next Decemberists record which has been predetermined to hit the racks of discriminating record shops, e- and otherwise, on October 3rd of this year, bearing the title The Crane Wife. Here it is:

    I'm not too happy that they're starting to play assigned-seated theaters. Hopefully The Calvin in Northampton will open up a GA section in front like they did for Wilco.

  4. One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing professionally printed signs with spelling or punctuation errors. Can we give all signmakers a lesson on when to use " 's " and when to only use " s "? You do not pluralize nouns with an apostrophe S !!!
