anyone ever carved a turkey on mushrooms? its pretty trippy.

Did I ever carve a turkey while *I* was on mushrooms, or did I ever carve a *turkey* that was on mushrooms?

... and Please Please Me... and With The Beatles... and A Hard Days Night... and Help!... and Beatles For Sale.

So Paisley, let me get this straight... you want to punch Iraqi nationals in the head?? ;)

Sorry, I didn't mean for that to come across so angry-like, 'cause I wasn't. Shoulda put a smiley.

The vocals may not be for everyone (see the DiscoBiscuits) but they have a certain emotional quality to them.

C'mon, now - the Disco Biscuits take the cake for absolute worst singing abilities in a "musical" band ever. Comparing anyone to them is pretty harsh.

What about a wild and certainly crazy woman?

Oh, they're fine.

If I were Ms. Hux's boss, I would have a crush on Ms. Hux. ::

From the merch page at www.dead.net(note: clicking "here" won't work - I just cut and pasted; go to website for details):

The Grateful Dead Movie is now available for pre-order here! This 2 DVD set, with more than 5 hours of footage, contains the original theatrical release of The Grateful Dead Movie plus extensive bonus footage. The second disc includes three additional documentaries, 11 never-before-seen songs (totaling over 95 minutes), the original "Mars Hotel" television spot, a demonstration of multi-camera and multi-track audio mixing, and an extensive photo gallery. The picture is remastered from the original film negative in High Definition, and includes both the original theatrical surround sound mix, and a new 5.1 mix. Click here to see more information about the DVD.

When The Grateful Dead Movie was retired theatrically, most known 35mm prints of the Movie were returned to the Grateful Dead's vault. Unfortunately, many of the prints of the Movie were returned either incomplete, or heavily damaged. With the recent restoration of The Grateful Dead Movie, and the discovery of the original 35mm negative of the Movie from which the DVD was produced, these damaged or incomplete prints of the film have become obsolete. We still have several dozen complete (8 reel) theatrical prints of the Movie in very good condition, which are being properly preserved, but for the few "orphaned" reels (such as those prints of the Movie for which we have only Reel 1, 3, 4 and 7 of the 8 reels) or damaged reels, we have decided that rather than destroying these prints of what are still very cool visual items, we will distribute these 6" film strips to you!

So, for every pre-order of The Grateful Dead Movie DVD, you will receive a 6" strip of 35mm film from an actual theatrical print of The Grateful Dead Movie. Perhaps you'll receive a snippet of Gary Gutierrez's stunning animation, or some footage of Jerry shouting out the words to "Morning Dew." It's all random, and it's all good. One thing we can tell you is that these were all shown in theatres at one time, and all once resided in the Grateful Dead's vault. They're our gift to you, as a way to thank you for your continued support. This offer is only valid if you pre-order before 3:00pm EST on Friday, November 5. Once the pre-order closes, the film strip will not be available.

Also available with the DVD is a 5-CD soundtrack, featuring selections from 10/16/74 through 10/20/74, mastered in HDCD from the original 16 track, 2" analog reels. The six hour, 40 song Soundtrack fills in the gaps from the Movie and its bonus footage, featuring 20 unreleased tracks. Especially noteworthy is Disc 2's He's Gone through Stella Blue from 10/17 and Disc 4's Sugar Magnolia through Sunshine Daydream, also from 10/17. Disc 5 features Mickey Hart's return to the Grateful Dead, and presents the second set and encores of 10/20 in their entirety. The packaging includes a 24-page booklet with archival items and many rare photos. Click here for more information on the Soundtrack CD.

As a special offer, we are making Beyond Description, a 12-disc box set encompassing the 10 albums released between 1973 and 1989 on their own Grateful Dead Records label, and later Arista, available separately in the pre-order store. It enhances the live and studio repertoire with the sonic brilliance of 2004 mastering technology and a wealth of newly discovered supplemental material. Customers who order the box set will receive a special bonus disc containing 75 minutes of additional unreleased material from that era. Click here to see the entire tracklisting for the Box Set and Bonus Disc.

Oh, yeah - Judge Judy needs a beat-down, too.

Ben had better not be seen singing "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" with any of Ronnie's kids... bleeeaachhh.

Ms. Hux, your boss has incredibly poor taste. It's fine to be attrracted to powerful women, but why not attractive powerful women? Margaret Thatcher looks like a battleship. Actually, she and Judge Judy kinda look similar, don't they?

Obviously I don't watch Canadian Idol or whatever show it is that he's on, or else I would have posted this ages ago.

An affected, supercilious twit.

It's that fu©king whatsisname, Ben Mulroney? Jesus fu©k, he has that same pompous, "I'm slick as sh!t," smug, arrogant smirk as his old man. I don't even have the sound on to hear what this buffoon is saying, and I wanna punch him.

What did the Canadian public do to deserve having this a$$hole inflicted upon them? :: Do people actually like this guy? ::

I'm more of a salt person that a sweets person. But I do enjoy the odd bit of chocolate.

I have absolutely no idea what i want to do with the rest of my life, none. So i think, what makes me happy? i really don't know. I'm confident that an opportunity will cross my path some day but until then, i will just take my place in the ant parade and exist until that day.

Join the club. I'm thirty, and we're in the same boat... or maybe we're both in Jared's van.

I've always been mildly jealous of those people who always knew what they wanted.

Going to Copenhagen on Friday, which will be my first ever trip to Denmark. Should be great.

Nice. Copenhagen is beautiful. I was there in the winter, so I can only imagine what it must be like in autumn. The Tivoli Gardens is supposed to be nice - I imagine it hasn't closed for the season yet. Christiana Free Town is a bit trippy, and the historic sailors' part of town is cool, with lots of great restaurants and tattoo parlours, if you're in the mood. Also, the statue of the Little Mermaid is a lot smaller than you would think - but nearby is an interesting little museum focusing on the Danish underground resistance during WWII.

Danish beer is excellent.

Children scare the be-jesus out of me. Not other peoples' kids (they're pretty cool, as long as they're not always around)- the thought of my own. I don't like the idea of having a commitment that I can't back out of, and that's exactly what a kid is.

I gotta get a vasectomy.

The entire Hall & Oates catalogue, chronologically.

I really enjoyed my coffee this morning.

I've got the Grateful Dead on, too - 10.14.83, Hartford (Dick's Picks Volume 6, I think).

Jerry Garcia makes me happy.

There was a big article in The Toronto Star about him the other day.

Happy Birthday, Leonard Cohen - and thanks for the wonderful songs!

Was there a placebo group?

;)

Layin Pipe and Roll The Bones should have been much higher on that list. Rush's cover of Summertime Blues really sucks as well...

Another terrible David Wilcox song is "Breakfast at the Circus". Uggghhh... that should have been on here, too.

85 folks ain't bad though for mid-September in Hamilton on a night the Fat Cats have a outdoor party/show in the region.

This party was the only reason I wasn't there!! And you're right, whiteymuseum - BNB are very on top of their game right now. Let's hope they're back again soon...

"The Slip is the east version of STS9 etc"

but....The Slip and STS9 are polar opposites....absolutely the opposite in styles and sound...

I think he means in terms of popularity and such... not what they sound like.

Lynn - I refuse to let you leave this board. Permission to leave denied. Get your ass back here, before I have to come up to Ottawa and drag you back in front of a computer screen.

"Don't Let It Bring You Down"

Old man lying

by the side of the road

With the lorries rolling by,

Blue moon sinking

from the weight of the load

And the building scrape the sky,

Cold wind ripping

down the allay at dawn

And the morning paper flies,

Dead man lying

by the side of the road

With the daylight in his eyes.

Don't let it bring you down

It's only castles burning,

Find someone who's turning

And you will come around.

Blind man running

through the light

of the night

With an answer in his hand,

Come on down

to the river of sight

And you can really understand,

Red lights flashing

through the window

in the rain,

Can you hear the sirens moan?

White cane lying

in a gutter in the lane,

If you're walking home alone.

Don't let it bring you down

It's only castles burning,

Just find someone who's turning

And you will come around.

Don't let it bring you down

It's only castles burning,

Just find someone who's turning

And you will come around.

I also had a great time. Nice to talk to you, Greg - and thanks, Gatch, for hosting a great party (although I didn't get a chance to talk to ya!).

Good times were had by everyone!!

Interesting that the "newest" songs on there are Old King and Harvest Moon, though. No material from the last 12 years' worth of albums. Not complaining exactly, just kind of surprising that he would ignore new material - rather unlike Neil.
