  1. Roxy likes Jack Johnson and her birthday is just after that. So I bought 2 camping passes by accident thinking that the concert tickets were included as a package.

    I may just sell one or both of the sites, however stumbling back to your site is better than driving if you tend to get as fucked up as I do on the weekends.

  2. I used to have that Mickey album but gave it to a pregnant co-worker 10 years ago and never got it back. Sometimes I wonder how her kid turned out?

    Sadly I missed Mickey last weekend at Langerado but the way DSO opened the weekend I almost felt bad for Phil & Mickey and any attempts to follow that awesome performance.

  3. “After two solid years of planning, we’re proud to present a new era for Edgefest—and to have it headlined by Linkin Park, the biggest-selling new rock artist of the 21st century, is amazing,†said Alan Cross, program director of 102.1 the Edge/Toronto."

    Really?

  4. From jambands.com:

    The Black Crowes have stirred up controversy again, but this time the Robinson Brothers aren’t to blame. The reactivated group, and current Relix cover subject, has publicly spoken out against Maxim magazine for running a review of its new album, Warpaint, without actually listening to the disc. In an odd move, the group refused to send press advanced copies of Warpaint, leading Maxim to review the album based on an “educated guess.†Below, The Crowes respond to the scandal:

    How is it that a magazine can review an entire album--and assign a star rating to it--without actually hearing the album?

    Case in point: the “review†of Warpaint --the new album by THE BLACK CROWES--in the March issue of Maxim magazine. The writer--who has not heard the album since advance CDs were not made available--wrote what appears to be a disparaging assessment anyway, citing “it hasn’t left Chris Robinson and the gang much room for growth.â€

    Incredulously, the magazine gave the album a two and a half star rating--although neither the writer nor the editor could have heard more than one song (the single “Goodbye Daughters of the Revolutionâ€).

    When approached for an explanation, the magazine described the review as “an educated guess preview.†Huh?

    Black Crowes manager Pete Angelus says, “Maxim's actions seem to completely lack journalistic integrity and intentionally mislead their readership. When confronted with the fact that they never heard the album they are claiming to 'review’ in their music section--with a star rating, no less--they attempt to explain that it was an 'educated guess.' In an email correspondence, Maxim went on to state: ‘Of course, we always prefer to (sic) hearing music, but sometimes there are big albums that we don’t want to ignore that aren’t available to hear, which is what happened with the Crowes. It’s either an educated guess preview or no coverage at all, so in this case we chose the former.’â€

    Angelus continued, “It speaks directly to the lack of the publication’s credibility. In my opinion, it’s a disgrace to the arts, journalism, critics, the publication itself and the public. What’s next--Maxim's concert reviews of shows they never attended, book reviews of books never read and film reviews of films never seen?â€

  5. So are Phil & Friends now like the official hippy-fest ambassadors?

    That's what I was wondering. They're on every festival line up this summer!

    I'm just grateful all these fests didn't follow Bonnaroo's lead and book Metallica....they'll be next year's official hippy-fest ambassadors.
