Check out the seedbox banner at the bottom. It's basically a link through my affiliate account. It's a solid service to use with IPT and it's great for ratio and off loading bandwidth, but most importantly obfuscating IP address/privacy. Can also setup a plex media server on it, among other neat server apps. Also comes with a little VPN that has so far worked well for playing SNL and Conan clips on youtube. IPT is pretty solid for shows though. What other private trackers are interesting? Is Passthepopcorn still around? that's a tough one for invites.

thanks for the confirmations.

Also, could someone PM me and let me know if the acceptance thingy worked ok or not?

This is a head's up regarding the forced acceptance of the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. They have both been updated recently to comply with the GDPR. This site has never shared personal information with any other party in the last 18 years of it's lifecycle. Yet, that was never blatantly obvious. This site respects anonymity and privacy. There are so many privacy rules now that they must be explicitly communicated and upon which agreed. For example, those that have donated funds to help keep this site alive would have used a third party service, PayPal. Therefore, the privacy policy must ensure that members are aware that they are responsible for paying attention to any third party's system, like PayPal's terms and privacy policy as well. If there are any changes to the site that includes collecting any new, optional information, like credit card info or mailing addresses, etc, the policy will be updated and will have to be accepted in order to use the site.

I can't believe that Harvey Weinstein used to post here.

also if you have to hire a lead guitar player in your Prince tribute band, you're not covering him right. Sounds good though and really, can't dramatically expect anyone to pull off all of Prince's skills at once.

This is a Beatles tribute that my friend Paul saw at a fest around San Francisco last year. Don't need to look like the band to be a killer tribute. They have a very good setup of gear to duplicate the sound.

I just don't know one can call their festival a cover band festival without a killer Beatle cover band. I'd go see that. The Blushing Brides have been around for so long. I had no idea they were still playing. I saw them in '89 or '90 in Kingston.

Looks like Steve Earl is back and CityFolk will land on roughly the same september dates as last year.

oh right. bring it on.

I'm wondering if they'll allow booze permits too.

This sounds like a great idea to help fill the gap within the Instruments for Africa project. Please look into contributing and help make it a success. We’re excited to announce that our most recent Instruments For Africa donation is currently on its way to Ghana! Right now the ship is somewhere between Morocco and Accra; 2,700lbs of books, accessories, and amazing musical instruments, all donated by people like you. We managed to seperate the equipment into twelve groups, so we’ll be able to supply twelve schools with instruments when we arrive in Ghana next month. The problem is, several months ago the Ministry of Education in Ghana gave us a list of thirteen schools in the country that need our help, and no matter how we tried we couldn’t stretch our instrument collection far enough to equip all thirteen schools. We left it up to them to eliminate one name from the list and the school they selected to not receive instruments from IFA on this trip was the Accra School For The Blind. We’d like very much to include the Accra School For The Blind and we could use your help. Recorders are very popular instruments with kids of all ages everywhere we go in Africa, and our friends at Musicare have agreed to supply us with as many good-quality, brand-name recorders as we want for just $5 each, tax-in. Our flight tickets allow for three more pieces of luggage than we require so we could potentially take hundreds of recorders to Ghana with us without any shipping costs whatsoever. This means you now have the unique opportunity to put an instrument directly into the hands of a handicapped child in Ghana for a mere $5! Aside from being relatively easy to play, very durable and always staying in tune, the best thing about recorders is that unlike a trumpet or a guitar that is shared by many students, every child gets their own recorder to keep. With your $5 donation I will personally be able to hand a recorder to one of these children, one they can take home and keep as their very own. Imagine the difference that could make! How often do you get a chance to make that kind of difference for such a tiny sum? If you donate $10 we can give instruments to two kids. For $100 we could give the gift of music to an entire classroom! But the point is, for the extremely reasonable price of just five dollars you can be directly responsible for giving a ray of musical hope to a child in Ghana. Please go to www.instrumentsforafrica.com and click the donate button right now. Simply write the word “recorder” in the instruction box and we’ll make sure a child at the Accra School For The Blind receives your gift. Finally, we’ve put together a video to promote our Recorder Drive. Please click here to watch it, and be sure to share the video with your friends! Thanks very much for your continued support, Todd Snelgrove www.instrumentsforafrica.com

https://www.princehitnrun.com/store/ Still, here is some unrelated footage tied to an unreleased version of Nothing Compares to U. Much of it cut in from a really cool bootleg video of an early Prince and the Revolution rehearsal. Those clips were available online for a while a couple of years ago, but have since been scrubbed. They are absolutely mesmerizing if you can find them.

RBC Bluesfest organizers today announced the addition of ‘fest favourites, Blue Rodeo. Since the festival’s inception, Blue Rodeo has repeatedly charmed, thrilled, and outright rocked RBC Bluesfest audiences. They’ll be appearing on July 12. It’s great to have Blue Rodeo back after a few years’ hiatus from the line-up,” says the festival’s executive and artistic director, Mark Monahan. “Their live show ranks right up there among the best we’ve staged—it’s a performance I personally look forward to whenever they’re here, and it always seems to get better!” This year should be no different as the band will be rolling out tunes from their latest album ‘1000 Arms’, which is receiving rave reviews. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=n7Cvntzojr4 Other acts added since the initial launch include: Common Deer (July 8); Eat A Peach: Allman Brothers Band Tribute (July 12); Hunter Siegel and Chuurch, presented by Deadbeats (July 13); and Lilly Hiatt (July 14). In other news—due to a scheduling conflict, Shaggy will not be able to perform at this year’s festival. Also of note, the first day of the event (July 5) will feature an opening ceremony showcasing Algonquin-Anishinabe Youth Hand Drummers from Kitigan Zibi and Barriere Lake As in previous years, the festival continues to add acts to their line-up after the initial launch. For those who haven’t already purchased tickets, this makes it even more compelling to get some. “In recent years, our multiple 3-day ticket packages have become the most popular purchase,” says Monahan. As always, prices are subject to change, so I suggest folks snap these up sooner than later.” Details can be found on the ‘tickets page’ on the festival’s website.

I was just listening to an interview with David Crosby on Adam Carolla's podcast. He was talking about how he had answered a question after an interview ended about his thoughts on Darryl Hannah dating Neil Young. I didn't realize that they were a couple. Apparently the interviewer took his words, which described her as a gold digger, and posted them on the internet which ended up pissing off Neil. Crosby regretted saying anything and that he was an idiot for running his mouth off, and his perceptions were based on crap his agent had been saying to him.

I discovered that there was a 5 min time limit set on editing one's own posts. I've removed that as I don't think that has ever been in place for members.

Thanks Esau. I didn't notice that. Not sure how or when that happened.
