Mrs. Peel

When I saw her the openers were Jim James, M. Ward and Conor Oberst.

Sorry, I don't mean to rub it in.

Glad you boys had such a good time!!

I should have said that I haven't grabbed everyone's, and I'm sure some people already use this method.

I just think it should be part of the guidelines for future exchanges.

If I may, I have a suggestion for the next go around.

Before YSIing, it would be great if the mix name was used as the album name for all tracks instead of leaving the name of the album each song came from. Also, set the track numbers song by song (1 of 10, 2 of 10, ...). This way when the YSI is downloaded and the songs get added into iTunes or whatever you use, they will already be grouped together and in order.

I really enjoy listening to everyone's mixes but it's kind of frustrating to have to find all the tracks to rename and reorder them.

Does that make sense?

I don't know how many people will like it....I started out doing a mix of bands whose names all start with "A" and then it morphed into a punk/rock thing, which is what I always fall back to during the first few weeks of springtime. I listened to it with the windows down this morning on my way to work, and even if no one else likes it I think it's a smashing success.

I didn't even realize this thread was here since it was pinned!!!

My boyfriend has been using the computer for a solid two weeks working on his final project for school, but I'll try to get one done in the next few days. Don't know about my partner though....it might be easier to fly solo for me this time around.

Please forward to that women from Black Eyed Peas: it is possible to rock out hygenically after all.

Believe it or not, while that picture was opening on my computer for the first time I was repeating "please don't be a Black Eyed Peas shot" over and over.

I was about 4 people away from you then.

OK, here's the link to my pics:

Jen's Sayreville Pictures

I didn't bring my good camera, but even with the little Powershot I got a some decent ones. They're huge, sorry, but here are a few favorites:

Wait....it's all starting to make sense now.....Heidi, were you there with bbop? I was pretty sure it was him, but I didn't recognize the girl with him. If that was you, we were right behind you in the Star Parking Line.

biggest disappointment was missing seeing ya Jen, how did that happen ?

I know!!! And after seeing your pictures I'm even more baffled about why we couldn't see each other. I tried calling you a couple times after we talked (yelled) to each other too. I'm really bummed. I guess we'll have to wait until our outing to see Mart!

Well I'm pretty shocked at these negative reviews...but then again, we were front and center and were not crowded in like sardines the way it seems most others were. Everyone around us was great. The sound was fantastic up in front (thank you very much, Star Parking Pass). We even brought a Wilco virgin to the show and I was really concerned beforehand that he wouldn't like them, but he had a great time and said he was really impressed with how amazingly tight the band was. I was worried about Jeff being so pissed in the beginning but I thought he really turned it around. I really didn't get the impression he was letting it affect him for very long. I secretly loved that he told the guy "I'm sorry, but you're being a dick" in that fatherly way only Jeff could pull off. The band was making silly faces at each other through the whole show, and lots of eye contact with the crowd. I never felt like that one asshole made any difference in their attitudes. And I also didn't feel like Jeff was mad at the "Happy birthday Andrew" incident (it isn't like they were yelling that the whole night, only one time as far as I heard) or at the guitar tech either. I thought the set was great....a bit disjointed in the beginning, but overall a great rockin' set appropriate for the Roadhouse type venue. Seeing Monday with the horn section was great. I think that was the highlight of those guys' lives.

I know that being up front makes a HUGE difference for the overall feel of the show though, and although I felt like I was in a tiny club holding me and 50 others because of where we were, every time I turned around and looked at the sea of cramped people I was definitely happy I wasn't mixed in there. So, for me, it was a close second to the Poughkeepsie show. For others, I can see why they might not have been too happy. But, give me a place like that over an assigned seat theater any day. I'd rather brave the crowds than be stuck in a chair. It's a rock show, and they certainly did rock.

BTW, I'll be going through my pictures and posting in the next couple days.

That's freaking awesome. Thanks!!!

Ted Leo was just "OK"? Wow, he must have been having an off night then.

I second that emotion.

Count me in too.

Yay! Glad it turned out to be so great!

And now after seeing the setlist I'm excited to see him myself. I hope he plays 19, that song so accurately describes my first love it feels like I wrote it myself.

I unearthed my original V for Vendetta comix and am now reading them.

That's what my boyfriend did last night too.

my boyfriend is a huge bukowski freak, so i borrow his books all the time. i've only read this one, pulp, war all the time, and post office. now that i have more time to read though, i'll surely dig deeper.

You've got to read "Ham On Rye". It's a raw, gritty autobiography of his early years. That said, I think Pulp is my favorite. The way it's a normal story and then at the end it goes all psycho with talking birds and everything.....awesome.

Oooooh, Bukowski.

2 things:

Have you seen the trailer for the movie yet? Looks awesome!

And....

gogo, have you ever read this?

The title sounds like the punchline to a joke, but it really happened and it's an interesting book.

No it isn't. My last option there is "Change your Personal Photo"....which, oddly enough, is disabled, though I have seen other people who've posted photos. This is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, swathed in crispy bacon!

 

Maybe it's been set differently for admins....? Now I'll have to track down the answer to this riddle. Soon as I polish off the bacon.

I love that you have fewer options than I do. Well, not really.

It's the last option in the "Personal Profile" section on the left side of the Control Panel.

When word got out in 1995 that the U.S. Defense Department and CIA had funded efforts to read people's minds, the news understandably excited all sorts of derision and conspiracy theories. Who would imagine that the story behind the efforts is actually a fascinating tale about the possibilities of human potential? Paul H. Smith tells the story of the U.S. "psychic spying" program in his book Reading the Enemy's Mind. Smith doesn't come across as some flaky new-ager. He was a young U.S. Army intelligence officer and Arab linguist who had no previous interest in extra-sensory perception when he was recruited into the program code-named "Star Gate" in 1983. Over the next seven years, he became one of the army's premier "remote viewers" and the primary author of its training manual on the subject. He also served as a tactical intelligence officer in the 101st Airborne Division in Operation Desert Storm/Shield and got a Master's degree from the Defense Intelligence College.

In Reading the Enemy's Mind, Smith reveals that the military and intelligence communities performed hundreds of experiments and operational intelligence assignments using "remote viewing," the government's term for ESP. The program's first big success came in 1979 when a viewer found a downed Soviet bomber in Africa after other intelligence operatives had failed--a coup praised by President Jimmy Carter. The psychics received target assignments from virtually every U.S. national-security agency, and Smith says they produced numerous positive results. Smith's biggest revelation, however, is that the government research found that almost all people--not merely a gifted few--seem to have the potential of developing ESP skills, with enough practice and a few tips from a pro like Smith. Many readers will no doubt find it hard to know what to make of Reading the Enemy's Mind and whether to believe any of it, but Smith writes with both color and a measured tone that together produce a captivating yarn even for the non-believers out there. --Alex Roslin

It's very interesting so far. This isn't a conspiracy theory book, the author worked in the program and can now tell his story since the project was abandoned and all the government documents have been declassified.
