i gotta try this

Sadly, I couldn't get signed-up. They had been given my postal code as one they could now service from Cogeco/Bell. They had my account set up and ready for install. Then they had to contact me to apologize profusely as Rogers had then yanked my postal code back from them. TekSavvy said that they do this from time to time since they don't want to give up neighbourhoods to competition. I WILL switch as soon as I can though. If you have the choice, go cable. It's faster up/down and cheaper I believe. No need for the dry-loop and having to deal with Bell at all Give their customer service a call with any questions. They truly know their shit, and can explain your best options. Good luck.

edger, totally did! It was an incredible performance. I have seen Bruce at least a dozen times in just over 20 years. This was by far one of the best performances I have experienced. His playing was phenomenal and the new material kicked-ass! Once of the new instrumentals, Ancestors, was haunting and spine-tingling. He is touring with a great violinist and percussionist. They fill out the sound and bring new life to many songs and altered arrangements. Their timing and tastefulness totally complimented Bruce and his playing. Bruce switched up guitars (and one dulcimer) with almost every song. With the clarity of sound in there it was interesting listening to the differences in the instruments and how they fit into the songs. One big highlight was near the end when he performed "All The Diamonds" on his new baritone guitar (which i looked up and was made by Ontario-based luthier Tony Karol. That song has special meaning and was a real treat for my Mom who I took to the show. She turned me on to Cockburn (and so much other great music) when I was a kid growing up with her album collection and musician friends. The mom that had to bail was Darlene Kinda sucks since she really loves going to Bruce Cockburn shows (compared to a lot of the other shows I go to ). What sucks too, is that I COULDN'T GIVE AWAY THE TICKET!! Some people just don't know what they're missing. Sorry that no skanks could use it

^^^^^^^^^ right on! f u Gary

FUn album. It was up here before, but a while back. RS Link is still good I'm pretty sure. http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showpost.php?post/659383/

Due to a kid not feeling well and wanting Mom to stay home, I am now in possession of an extra ticket for tonight's show at Massey Hall. I'll unload it at the show, but thought there may be somebody here interested. The ticket is with my other two in the FRONT ROW! Get back to me ASAP if you're interested. http://masseyhall.com/eventdetail?eventId=625

Bautista back Escobar back for Sunday supposedly.

I knew that Rebecca Black song reminded me of something ... crappy music/videos like this from the fundies:

yesssssssssssssssss

One of the most amazing voices around: http://bit.ly/hPWRui k.d. lang & the Siss Boom Bang – Sing it Loud [Deluxe Edition] Consider the following evidence: k.d. lang titled her new album “Sing It Loud.†She dubbed the band that plays on it Siss Boom Bang. And she depicts herself on the cover yowling into a gigantic megaphone. One might be forgiven, then, for expecting something raucous, keening and free from the actual music. Long-toothed fans might also be forgiven for getting particularly excited about that. After all, 19 years have passed since lang muffled and slowed her sound, banishing her early bent for wild-eyed country songs, delivered with herculean vocals and a broad wink. Starting with 1992′s “Ingenue,†lang restyled herself as a doe-eyed chanteuse, a sensualist with a flair for measure and intimacy. Overnight, she went from being Patsy Cline (as reanimated by Shirley Bassey) to Doris Day (crossed with Peggy Lee). As it turns out, “Sing It Loud†only goes halfway toward reversing that trend. It starts with a song that sounds strikingly like something ripped from Roy Orbison’s back pages, a pop aria rippling with echo, bolero drums and a vocal that ricochets around the speakers. The next few songs follow suit, recalling some of the early-’60s torch and twang of Lang’s classic “Shadowland†CD. To nail that vibe, lang employed her first solid band since the days of the Reclines, 20 years ago. But by the title track, six cuts in, she’s contradicting their name, downshifting into her now familiar mode of languor. Luckily, the result just proves lang can conjure real drama — and show off a robust voice — even when she plays it closer to the vest. The way she swoops into a phrase, conjuring a crane in flight, shows both grace and intensity. Gigantic notes ring out in even the most subtle songs, and the beauty of her tone means it never feels like a drone. It helps that her softer material has genuine sensuality, filtered through flashes of country-folk. They’re overwhelmingly original pieces, penned with the new band, though lang did find room for a wonderful cover: David Byrne’s witty “Heaven,†to which she brings a tenderness he couldn’t hope to. The years lang spent away from bravura material means that her relative return here stands out all the more. Fans will swoon most for “Sugar Buzz,†which boasts lang’s most wide-ranging stretch since the panoramic vocal on “Pullin’ Back the Reins.†Those greedy for more may consider this disk a tease. But it’s fairer to see it as a culmination, threading some of lang’s old fire through her current calm.- Jim Farber mp3@320 Tracklist 1. I Confess 2. A Sleep with No Dreaming 3. The Water’s Edge 4.

It REALLY got better towards the end, didn't it? It suffered from having a huge hiatus in the middle and a meandering storylines. Then, they re-jigged a lot of it and it came back firing on all cylinders. Sadly, it was too late and it had been cancelled. Not to ruin anything, but it really is sad when you see the finale and it is all setup for some amazing stories to be told after Enjoy the last couple. So say we all

Elbow glued to his side, no strides into the hit, no big follow-through, no leaving the ice, but a 4 game suspension? This is going to be the new "foot in the crease" for this year's playoffs. There will be people screaming for suspensions in just about every game. Guess you just have to be "unsuspecting" all the time on the ice and when you're hit you're never at fault.

What? The Sens are doing ANOTHER uniform change for next year?? Dresses?? Kilts? :chug:

Total kicking motion. The ref was on the opposite side with the goalie blocking his view of Hossa, so the ref probably didn't see the kick. No excuse for the replay though All goalies should use black gloves as it will always make these call "inconclusive". They way the league could get around it and get those calls right is having a camera UNDER the goal, make sort of plexiglass "floor" under the goal Logistically not really feasible, but you never know.

Nice win. Hope Escobar is OK. Go Jays Go

http://bit.ly/gvU57F Warren Haynes – Man In Motion Gov’t Mule co-founder and Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes will shows his roots as a soul man with the May 10 release of his fourth solo album, “Man in Motion†(Stax/Concord Music Group). The 10-song set, recorded in Willie Nelson‘s Pedernales Studio near Austin, Texas, with regular cohort Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar co-producing, finds Haynes determinedly mining an R&B approach steeped in influences from Stax, Muscle Shoals and Memphis’ Hi Records. “My first love was soul music,†Haynes tells Billboard.com. “The first sound I can remember having an effect on me was black gospel music coming over the radio in North Carolina. James Brown was my first musical hero, then the Four Tops and Temptations, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave. Somewhere along the way I heard Ray Charles and B.B. King. “So (soul) has always been there for me, and I’ve waited a long time to really put that across on an album. I just thought it was time to make that sort of record.†In fact, Haynes says that some of the songs on “Man in Motion†date back quite a ways — 20 years for “Real Lonely Night,†and 10 for “Your Wildest Dreams.†“Through the years I compiled a few song that wanted to be captured this way,†Haynes notes. “I’d resigned myself to thinking someone else would wind up recording them other than myself, but then this project came about.†The album also includes a cover of Stax singer William Bell’s “Everyday Will Be Like a Holiday.†Haynes recorded “Man in Motion†with an all-star band that includes several New Orleans musicians — Meters bassist George Porter, Jr., keyboardist Ivan Neville and drummer Raymond Webber — as well as Austin-based keyboardist Ian McLagan, singer Ruthie Foster and tenor saxophonist Ron Holloway. “It was the exact band I wanted for the record. Everybody that was first on my list was available, and we made it work,†says Haynes, although he had not met McLagan before the sessions. “Ian was a last minute add-on that Gordie suggested,†recalls Haynes, who played a variety of vintage hollow body guitars in addition to his usual Gibson Les Paul on the album. “He was thinking (McLagan) would add a cool vibe, like a soul-music version of the Garth Hudson-Richard Manual thing in the Band. And it freed me up to take more of a B.B. King role, singing and playing fills. I played a little more rhythm than, say B.B., but I wasn’t having to think that way all the time. We set up in the studio with everybody looking at each other and recorded live, which is what we love to do.†Haynes debuted the band at his annual Christmas Jam during December in Asheville, N.C., and he’s eyeballing a tour that will start in April, most likely in Australia, and run throughout the summer. Terrence Higgins will be on the drum stool, while Neville and Foster are up in the air at the moment.- Gary Graff mp3@320 Tracklist 1. Man In Motion 7:52 2. River’s Gonna Rise 6:51 3.

Yeah, let me know too. Mind you, listening on the radio can be really exciting (like the end of that last game!)

thanks for the link. Still looking forward to making it out to this show. These guys are a ton of fun and great at what they do.
