  1. Hard to believe it was a couple of months ago that I was lucky enough to experience this show. Some industrious tapers, shooters, and editors have put together a damn fine effort here to document the show. The following link allows you to stream the whole concert. Links are on the page for if you want to download it in high quality and burn to DVD for hightened enjoyment While nothing can compare to actually being there, this can at least give an idea of what it was like. http://panicstream.com/video/thewall.html

    Crock Pot

    Heyyy! Happy to find this thread as it's definitely CROCKPOT season. I got breasts! ... chicken, that is Hey, with that Sticky Chicken recipe, could I substitute the whole chicken for 4-6 chicken breasts? I have a bunch in the fridge that I'd like to use up.
  3. Grace Potter & the Nocturnals are playing Lee's Palace on Dec 7th ... $15. I went last year (thanks jambands.ca for the tix!) and it was fantastic. GREAT live band in a small venue. I'm going to try to get there if I can get the night off

  7. Kovalev's 1000th point in the NHL ... was kinda surprised to hear this morning that he's only the third Russian player to do so. The other two
  8. Hopefully catching this band again in Toronto in a couple of weeks. Great time when I saw them last year http://bit.ly/eLi4Uy Grace Potter & the Nocturnals – Grace Potter & the Nocturnals For five years, Grace Potter & Nocturnals have been hammering it out on stages large and small, playing 200 shows a year, and impressing audiences in the U.S. They’ve recorded two previous albums –2005′s rightfully acclaimed Nothing But the Water, and their Hollywood Records debut This Is Somewhere. The sophomore effort failed musically; its songs were unfocused and sloppy, and its production lethargic. Three years later, with two new bandmembers in bassist Catherine Popper and rhythm guitarist Benny Turco, and the aid of super producer Mark Batson (Jay-Z, Snoop Dog, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys), the Nocturnals sound like a band reinvigorated. This self-titled set is very polished — from cover photo to last note, it’s designed to scale the Billboard charts — yet it offers a representative showcase of the band’s strengths. And while it doesn’t come off as spontaneously as their live gigs, it’s not supposed to. The glammed-up Nocturnals are still a tough, few-frills rock band, and despite his pedigree, Batson — who co-wrote six of 13 songs with Potter here — gets that. “Paris†kicks off the set. It’s introduced by a mean grunt from Potter and a twin guitar blast. With Scott Tournett’s lead guitar slicing through Matt Burr’s drums, and Popper’s funky bassline, the singer — with power and pitch — lays down the brazen lyric: “If I was a man, I’d make my move/If I was a blade I’d shave you smooth . . . †On “Medicine,†another rocker, Potter stakes claim to her man though she’s competing with a mysterious seductress. The riff and refrain are instantly memorable. The dual guitar leads are balanced by her B-3, and the tune’s bluesy feel is seductive. “Hot Summer Night†is a nasty roots jam with Potter beating the hell out of an upright piano over trashy guitars and handclaps à la the Faces. The ballads are a more mixed bag. “Low Road,†influenced deeply by Memphis soul, puts Potter’s stellar voice and the meld of B-3, guitars, and rhythm section inside the bellybone of the listener, and it’s sexy as hell. That said, “Colors,†and “Things I Never Needed†are both overly long and indulgent; and the reggae-tinged “Tiny Lights†feels contrived. The midtempo numbers — the soul-drenched “That Phone†and the blazing “Only Love,†with its infectious bassline and distorted guitars — work to fine effect. In sum, this the most representative outing from Grace Potter & the Nocturnals to date, and displays, however slickly, a heady quotient of strut, crackle, and groove. – Thom Jurek/Allmusic MP3@320CBR Track List 01.

  10. Here it is, if you want it http://bit.ly/b6fFXF
  11. Oh well. Shit, they ended up with more wins this season than the last two combined! Good turnaround season with hope on the horizon. Can the Leafs/Raptors/TorontoFC say that? Kim Jong Il should be happy his boys made it to the finals again
  12. Yes, I was stunned when they said that on the broadcast. Very surprising. This year, not so surprising .
  13. I laughed. All I saw was a killer pass out in front to set up a beauty goal. Then, when the replay came on, I saw who made the pass. ::FacePalm:: Exciting game. Like Booche said, very fitting for a tribute to Burns.
  14. Very tasteful and well done. Nice first period so far too. Way to go getting the penalty call 100% wrong. Back to retirement Bob (mind you the Habs are getting more scoring chances shorthanded than the Leafs are on the power play)

  16. Thanks for the memories Burns. You'll be missed. Hockey is all the better for being lucky enough to have you as a part of it. Hall of Shame ... this was the most ridiculous oversight. WTF was their reasoning? Whatever it is, doesn't cut it. Ditch the ceremony for the game on Saturday and make it a Pat Burns tribute instead.
