I hear ya! I'd totally catch a little Robert Randolph after the Crowes. Somehow, gotta make it to work the next day bright and early. All depends on my ride and how awake he can stay One ... more ... sleep ...

An excellent version of Ripple from busker in Boulder, CO.

I am a huge fan of Daniel Lanois. Absolutely incredible talent. Eagerly awaiting the release of this album. For now, a single http://bit.ly/dk6NDW Black Dub – I Believe In You (Single) Black Dub, the enigmatically eclectic new quartet helmed by acclaimed guitarist and Grammy award-winning producer Daniel Lanois, hit the road this November in support of their self titled debut album. The tour launches in conjunction with the release of the band’s self-titled JIVE debut, landing in stores on November 2, 2010. Black Dub combines tripped-out soul with flourishes of rock ‘n’ roll and Jamaican dub for a sound that’s elegant and entrancing. Lanois told Rolling Stone, “I had been fantasizing about putting a band together for a long time that would allow me to write music with a funkier angle. I’ve also had a fascination with Jamaican dub music.†The album went so well that the group are reportedly already talking about album No. 2. mp3@320CBR Track List 1. I Believe In You 2.

A little early for Xmas, but this one did make me chuckle today:

Mmmmmmmm ... 1664 From the Kronenbourg website: On October 4th 2010, we took Lemmy and his band Motörhead to a French bar. Here, inspired by the laid back atmosphere and a slow, cold Kronenbourg 1664, they played their legendary manic song, The Ace of Spades, at half the normal speed.

http://bit.ly/cQ2CRM The Who – My Generation (Deluxe Edition) As many Who fans know, disputes between the Who and producer Shel Talmy held back the release of a CD version of My Generation taken from the best available original sources for quite some time. Eventually the dispute was resolved, and 2002 saw the release of the deluxe edition of this classic album, expanded into a two-CD work with the addition of no less than 17 extra tracks. So is it time to celebrate and finally throw away that scratchy old My Generation LP, whichever version of that you have? Unfortunately, not quite. Pluses first: the sound, remixed in stereo by Talmy, is very good indeed, very clear and punchy without sacrificing the enormous power the band brought to the sessions, sometimes revealing parts with a clarity never before heard. This also, finally, adds some seminal non-LP tracks also recorded in 1965 (most notably their debut single, “I Can’t Explainâ€), as well as a bunch of R&B cover outtakes that previously surfaced on the 1980s comps Who’s Missing and Two’s Missing. There are also slightly longer versions of a few tracks; an instrumental track for “My Generation†and an “a cappella version†of “Anytime You Want Meâ€; and one genuine previously unheard song, “Instant Party Mixture,†a weird and not good takeoff on Dion’s “Runaround Sue†that was recorded in early 1966 as a possible B-side. So what’s to carp about? Well, some overdubs used in the original version of the LP have been lost, and their loss is not just something that audiophiles or unhealthily completist record collectors will notice. Specifically, on “My Generation,†Pete Townshend’s guitar is virtually missing from the instrumental break, and the group’s backup vocals at the song’s climax are likewise mostly missing. Other little omissions crop up too, and though this compilation makes up for that a bit with “monaural versions with guitar overdubs†of “My Generation†and “A Legal Matter,†it’s no small loss. Also, unbelievably, although “Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere†is here (and misspelled on the cover), it’s an alternate version with different vocals from a French EP. It’s fine to include that, but the classic single version itself, a tremendously exciting and important record, isn’t present at all, and no one could reasonably claim there shouldn’t have been room for both. Too, the version of “Leaving Here†is an alternate, and while that’s fine to have as a marginally interesting addition, the version that first showed up on Who’s Missing is, um, missing. These shortcomings are not unimportant. If a group and label are going to bill something as the ultimate package of a classic album plus bonus tracks, it should have everything you want to hear. This deluxe edition doesn’t. This doesn’t, of course, mean that it doesn’t contain much great music, particularly the My Generation album itself, a tour de force of British mod music maturing from R&B rave-ups into melodic power pop with riveting instrumental and lyrical hooks. It is also good to hear the nice early R&B cover B-sides “Daddy Rolling Stone†and “Anytime You Want Me,†and while the R&B-oriented outtakes of Motown songs like “(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave†aren’t so good, as historical documentation they’re important. The sessions are also documented nicely in a booklet of liner notes. But no doubt you’ll have to wait for the SACD or DVD or some such configuration to correct some of these flaws and separate you from more of your hard-earned cash. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi mp3@320CBR and 256 Track List 01 – Out In The Street 02 – I Don’t Mind 03 – The Good’s Gone 04 – La-La-La-Lies 05 – Much Too Much 06 – My Generation 07 – The Kids Are Alright 08 – Please Please Please 09 – It’s Not True 10 – The Ox 11 – A Legal Matter 12 – Circles (Instant Party) 13 – I’m A Man 14 – A Legal Matter (Remastered) 15 – The Ox (Remastered) 16 – Circles (Instant Party) (Remastered) 17 – I Can’t Explain 18 – Bald Headed Woman 19 – Daddy Rolling Stone 20 – Leaving Here 21 – Lubie (Come Back Home) 22 – Shout And Shimmy 23 – (Love Is Like A) Heat Wave 24 – Motoring 25 – Anytime You Want Me 26 – Anyway Anyhow Anywhere (Alternate Take) 27 – Instant Party Mixture 28 – I Don’t Mind 29 – The Good’s Gone 30 – My Generation (Instrumental) 31 – Anytime You Want Me (A Capella) 32 – A Legal Matter (Monaural) 32 – My Generation (Monaural) http://bit.ly/cQ2CRM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uFcPjILC7k

Wow! 48 of these vile humans in the San Diego area alone? I know it's over a period of years, but come on. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/24/san-diego-diocese-sex-abu_n_773178.html San Diego Diocese Sex Abuse Case: Lawyers Release 10,000 Unsealed Documents SAN DIEGO — Attorneys for nearly 150 people who claim sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests made nearly 10,000 pages of previously sealed internal church documents public Sunday, revealing at least one previously unknown decades-old case in which a priest under police investigation was allowed to leave the U.S. after the Diocese of San Diego intervened. After a three-year legal battle over the Diocese of San Diego's internal records, a retired San Diego Superior Court judge ruled late Friday that they could be made public. The records are from the personnel files of 48 priests who were either credibly accused or convicted of sexual abuse or were named in a civil lawsuit. The 144 plaintiffs settled with the diocese in 2007 for nearly $200 million, but the agreement stipulated that an independent judge would review the priests' sealed personnel records and determine what could be made public. The files show what the diocese knew about abusive priests, starting decades before any allegations became public, and that some church leaders shuffled priests from parish to parish or overseas despite credible complaints against them. "We encourage all Catholics, all members of the community, to look for these documents," attorney Anthony DeMarco said at a news conference. "These documents demonstrate years and years and decades of concerted action that has allowed this community's children to be victimized, and it is not until the community looks at these documents that this cycle is ever going to be ended." At least one of the priests, Gustavo Benson, is still in active ministry in the Diocese of Ensenada in Mexico, DeMarco said. In a 2002 interview with The Press-Enterprise of Riverside, Benson said he ministered to children there but had not done anything inappropriate. It wasn't immediately known what Benson's position at the diocese is now. A phone message left Sunday night at the office of the Archbishop of Tijuana who oversees the Ensenada diocese was not immediately returned. In at least one instance, the files included documented abuse by a priest whose name had not before surfaced in any lawsuit or criminal case, the Rev. Luis Eugene de Francisco, who was originally from Colombia. Police investigated de Francisco for allegedly abusing children, but the diocese convinced authorities to drop the case if the priest would return immediately to his Colombian diocese and never return to the U.S. "In early August 1963, Father was placed under arrest by the civil police of the City of San Diego for violation of the State Penal Code," then-Bishop Charles F. Buddy wrote the Colombian bishop in the Diocese of Cali. "At that time, arrangements were made between this Chancery and the civil authorities of San Diego in which, if Father left the United States with the promise never to return, the charges against Father would be set aside by Civil Law." Buddy wrote that de Francisco had crossed the border at Tijuana, Mexico, and was "directed to return directly to the Diocese of Cali." DeMarco said the papers in the files were the first time attorneys became aware of de Francisco. No one filed a lawsuit, the church never revealed the complaints and it's unclear what happened to the priest or if he is still alive, he said. Church files indicate he also served in Florida and Texas before arriving in the San Diego diocese, where he worked with migrant workers in the Coachella Valley about 150 miles southeast of Los Angeles. "You have won a reputation as a zealous worker and devoted to the poor," Bishop Buddy wrote the priest in a December 1962 letter. "On the other hand, the 'incidents' at Indio were more serious than first presented to me, especially inasmuch as the police have made a record of them. You know how word gets around, so that you be certain that the police here will be on your trail. ... It will be more prudent and more secure for you to return to your own diocese." Donna Daly, a spokeswoman for the Diocese of San Diego, did not immediately return a call on Sunday and no one answered at the main diocese number. Maria Roberts, an attorney for the diocese, did not immediately respond to a message left with her office on Sunday. Another case outlined in the files involves the Rev. Robert Nikliborc, who was sent to a psychiatric treatment facility in the 1950s after the diocese received complaints, then became director of a Roman Catholic residential facility for troubled boys called Boystown of the Desert in Banning, Calif. Boys who lived there filed lawsuits against Nikliborc and were part of the 2007 settlement, DeMarco said. The priest died while litigation was under way. In a 1956 letter written to Nikliborc while he was at a "special retreat," Buddy referred to two incidents involving the priest without describing them, and said Nikliborc must decide whether to stand with God or against him. "The fact is that your defects on both occasions were reported by lay people, who gave absolute proof which you could not gloss over or deny," Buddy wrote. Still, he held out the possibility that Nikliborc could again celebrate Mass. The papers also contain documents from the files of Rev. Anthony Rodrigue. In 1976, a group of parents at Rodrigue's parish in Heber, Calif., complained he had molested their children, according to court documents. The priest was sent to a psychiatric facility in Massachusetts for treatment but was put back in ministry despite the recommendations of those who treated him. Rodrigue later admitted he had molested between four to five children a year over a span of 22 years, said Irwin Zalkin, an attorney for the plaintiffs. About 30 people filed lawsuits against the diocese alleging sexual abuse against the priest, who died within the last year, he said. "He was probably one of the most prolific abusers in this diocese. ... And they knew about this guy from his days in the seminary but kept him in ministry," Zalkin said. Attorneys are still trying for the release of an additional 2,000 pages of documents. The release of records is biggest so far in a U.S. church case, said Terry McKiernan, founder of the website Bishop Accountability.org. The website collects and publishes internal church papers that have been released as the result of litigation on clergy abuse nationwide. "I think as we absorb this, it will shed a lot of light on these issues. It's amazingly rich," McKiernan said. "These documents are providing a window into the California experience that we haven't had before." Lawyers for plaintiffs have been trying to get similar internal church documents from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for years, but have not had success. That diocese settled with more than 500 plaintiffs in 2007 for a record-breaking $660 million in a settlement agreement that also called for the disclosure of priests' files. The only other release of church files in California came after a 2005 settlement between plaintiffs and the Diocese of Orange. About 4,000 pages were made public. ___ Online: Unsealed documents: http://bit.ly/9U4FWC

http://gizmodo.com/5671722/george-lucas-reported-creating-new-star-wars-sequel-trilogy-thats-not-about-the-skywalkers George Lucas reportedly creating Star Wars sequel trilogy (that's not about the Skywalkers) George Lucas reportedly creating Star Wars sequel trilogy (that's not about the Skywalkers)Big honking Saturday morning rumor here! According to IESB.net, George Lucas will be creating a new trilogy once the first six Star Wars movies go 3D. This echoes what Lucas did in the 1990s after the original trilogy was rereleased. When you check the link, IESB.net may be down from a traffic surge, but here are the pertinent details: George Lucas is plotting to create new Star Wars movies at the ultra top-secret Skywalker Ranch. This is deja vu of the mid '90s when Uncle George start[ed] tweaking the Holy Trilogy to gear up for the Special Editions. [...] These new film will have nothing to do with the live action television series currently in development. That show already has over 50 scripts ready to go and plenty of pre-production time and money has been spent on artwork and storyboards. Once that show goes into production, Lucasfilm hopes to be able to produce at least 100 episodes since that is the threshold for syndication in the United States [...Fans] can expect the new trilogy after the entire saga is released in 3D which is expected to be complete around 2015 or 2016. Also, the trilogy is reported to kick off approximately 24 months after the 3Ding of Return of the Jedi, and the next three episodes (which could be either Episodes 7-9 or 10-12) could possibly "occur as far as 100 years or 1,000 years in the Star Wars universe future." Furthermore, the IESB source claims that the movie will not focus on the Skywalker clan. IESB's broken a couple pretty big scoops (including Joss Whedon being tapped to direct The Avengers and the PG-13 rating of Revenge of the Sith), but it's a rumor that should nonetheless be taken with a grain of salt. UPDATE: Underwire reports that Lucasfilm has denied the possibility of a new trilogy, but that's expected either way.

Here's the FULL album Gotta love Buddy http://bit.ly/dlkJv6 Buddy Guy – Living Proof This triumphant album opens with the song “74 Years Young.†The song begins quietly as Buddy looks back at his life. But when he hits the bridge he lays down a savage guitar solo that: a) owes as much to Link Wray as it does to the blues and displays what 74 years young really means. This song is followed by another autobiographical song where he tells the story of his early life in Louisiana where, as a child, he taught himself to play a two-string guitar. Again, a blistering lead is the musical centerpiece. Track three, “On The Road†is a more “conventional†blues work-up, horns and all. Another fantastic track, where, after the fade at the end, one can hear a band-member saying “Yeah†in appreciation. Track four is the duet with B.B. King. It’s pure magic. And the coda, where Buddy and B.B. speak to one another, is just about as moving a moment as one can find in recorded music. In the duet with Carlos Santana, Buddy shows he can do Latin rhythms side-by-side with the master. And so it goes for an hour or so, one great track after another. Frankly, I can find possibly only one track, “Too Soon†that might be just a tad too tame or formulaic. But this is followed by the terrific final fours songs on the album, which include “Let The Door Hit Ya†and “Guess What†(both with Buddy in full sexual swagger). So one possibly formulaic song in an hour’s worth of new music is a something I will take any day of the week. An argument could be mounted that this is Buddy’s career defining album. At 74, his skills are still intact and he remains a consummate songwriter, with something new to offer, both in his lyrics and certainly in his music. It is kind of a wonder that people like Buddy, and the lesser know and somewhat older Hubert Sumlin, can still excite you with high level performances. The production, at least on the vinyl pressing, is outstanding. I don’t know if, or how much, compression will appear on the CD, but this is an album that was clearly recorded pretty much live in the studio, with probably few, if any, overdubs; so the sound is organic and real. Consequently, it benefits from being heard in the analog domain of vinyl. Plus, the vinyl may end up being some sort of collector’s item as all the music appears on the first three sides leaving the fourth side blank so it can be devoted to a really cool etching in the vinyl of a portion of the guitar on the back of the LP cover. My only complaint about the vinyl release is there are no liner notes to show songwriting credits, song personnel, etc. But, at this price, for a double LP which is a very quiet pressing, this is a very small complaint.
