  1. couldn't have happened to nicer guys as well. i know a dude from The Salads (awful band) who had a song in a Molson Canadian commercial... 20 seconds of a song for a one-time payout of $90,000. Hard to say no to I bet. I know a few other bands that are currently negotiating for movie and ad spots. Very sought-after for the struggling musician. AD

    Hey downloaders

Category: Legal Type: Copyright Complaint Number of Complaints: 1 Number of Offences: 1 i'm screwed if they cut off my service, DSL isn't available in my building at the moment (without doing rewiring that neither I nor my landlord will pay for), and as far as I know Rogers is the sole cable internet provider...

    Hey downloaders

    pretty much just torrents these days... haven't used soulseek or limewire in at least 6 months. mp3 blogs i download from as well... i'm curious what specific torrents they are complaining about, if it is movies, public-tracker music, private tracker OiNK stuff.... AD

    Hey downloaders

    I got a warning email from my ISP today saying that due to my activities downloading copyrighted material, my account could be suspended then terminated. I didn't get any more information than that because my ISP (CIA.com, providing a discounted Rogers cable internet service and VOIP) is useless. But it was a little disconcerting. Big brother is watching. AD
  7. I get you perfectly and I agree. Just trying to be funny. Go to the Bittorrent forum for a treat.
  8. Duh, you're playing it at the wrong speed.

  10. a simple search came up with this from their official website... wasn't hard to figure out... you owe me 5 minutes of time for looking up Pilate's brand history. ug.
  11. Top 6 in no particular order... Wierd. Spiral Beach is near the top of my list. But I can't get into it now. Maybe this evening. Pilate recently changed their name. Don't ask me why I know that.

    haha that was one of the funnier moments of the show... jim came out for the encore and said he heard someone got peed on... then he said he thought it was their monitor tech guy who was the pee-er... carl and jim both cracked up and launched into Tonight I Want 2 Celebrate With You, Jim on omnichord and Carl on pedal steel. Jim was also wearing rather large skeleton boots, talked about how the Avalon was where John H Airplane invented and stored the first airplane, and tossed a stuffed mastodon around while singing.

    Nope no review from me on this one; I'll let the pros take care of it. Thanks for thinking of me though! That was my fifth MMJ show and I can't wait to see them again. And again. And again. (How's that for a review? )

    Lay Low on Saturday was 100 times better than Okonokos, the guitar 'jam' spent more time developing, sounded like the guitars were tuned better, and the pace was perfect. Two reviews: Boston Globe Review My Morning Jacket turns up heat By Jonathan Perry, Globe Correspondent | December 4, 2006 Much like its music, which often sounds more like a rolling tidal wave of pure electricity and energy than something so quaint as a rock song, My Morning Jacket's momentum just keeps building. It wasn't very long ago -- a Saturday night in 2003, in fact -- when frontman Jim James gazed out at a crowd that had jammed the downstairs room at the Middle East in Cambridge, visibly astonished that 500 people had shown up to hear and cheer his band from Louisville, Ky. This past Saturday night at Avalon, James looked neither amazed nor even mildly surprised at the fact that four times as many folks had crammed into every nook and cranny of the ballroom, eager to envelop themselves in My Morning Jacket's glittery fusion of re-imagined Southern boogie, cosmic cowboy songs, and peyote-dusted psychedelia. Just how unique and, more important, good a band is My Morning Jacket? Consider that the group is touring in support of a new double-disc live album and companion concert DVD called "Okonokos," recorded last year at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. Moreover, both are terrific (and how many concert DVDs and live albums, never mind double albums, can you say that about?). As the quintet seems to do just about every time it takes the stage, James and Co. -- guitarist Carl Broemel , bassist Two-Tone Tommy , drummer Patrick Hallahan , and keyboardist Bo Koster -- managed to match, and perhaps surpass, its own best performances on Saturday evening. From the group's blistering guitar jams and storming armies of feedback to the celestial howl of James's voice, bathed in reverb and soaring as if from a space mountain on high, this was a mesmerizing two-hour triumph, and one that underscored MMJ's growing reputation as one of America's very best rock bands. "Gideon," which launched the show, was an exhilarating rocket ride to the stars, and once the band members reached the rarified air of their destination -- it didn't take them long to transport themselves, and the crowd -- they showed no sign of stopping or turning back. Instead, they thrust forward with abandon, headlong into the possibilities that awaited them, shooting toward a universe where old - guard titans like Neil Young's Crazy Horse and the Allman Brothers plugged in alongside newer sonic avatars such as Sparklehorse and the Flaming Lips. Blissfully romantic hymnals ("Lowdown") gave way to rippling, excursive epics ("Off the Record") and then exploded into something new and electric yet again, just as dazzling, just as bright. Boston Herald Review Audiences awakening to Morning By Jed Gottlieb/ Music Review Monday, December 4, 2006 - Updated: 04:56 AM EST Epic rock is a dying art. If you’re a fan of skate-punk, post-grunge or rap-metal, you’ve got plenty of carbon-copy bands to adore. But if you’re on a quest to find your generation’s Who or “Misty Mountain Hop,†well, you’re on an odyssey of near-Homeric proportions. But don’t give up, if you look long enough you’ll find that most roads lead to My Morning Jacket. My Morning Jacket may not evoke the force inherent in a name such as Steppenwolf or Deep Purple, but the band’s music more than makes up for its odd moniker. Saturday night at the Avalon, My Morning Jacket validated its growing reputation as an foundation-shaking live band. Often called a jam band or alt-rock group, My Morning Jacket is really just pure, epic rock. Like a legendary Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin or Traffic show, the Jim James-led Kentucky quintet wandered furiously across dozens of genres and scores of sounds over the course of Saturday’s two-hour set. “Gideon†dove into strange, Floyd-like atmospherics, “Just One Thing†flirted with an acoustic-guitar, folk-ballad feel, and both “Off the Record†and “Phone Went West†were driven by classic reggae beats. Yet no matter how far they drifted - and they drifted plenty from reggae and country to psychedelic and electronica - every song retained a rock ’n’ roll core. My Morning Jacket has yet to connect with a large, mainstream audience, but after touring with Pearl Jam earlier this year and selling out Avalon this weekend, that probably won,t be the case for long. There are too many guys looking for the band’s ’70s-style heroic energy for it to stay underground much longer. Opening the show was the Boston- and Montreal-based the Slip. Invited on tour by fans My Morning Jacket, the double billing worked perfectly. The Slip share its patrons’ flare for genre-bending riffs rooted in loud, long rock. After the Slip’s too-short set, the crowd gave the band a euphoric applause usually reserved for a headliner -which was doubly impressive considering half the night’s audience was still outside waiting to get in.
  17. Definitely what I was going to recommend. My prediction is that you will eat the Killer Tomato sandwich. Myself, I like the meat, so I go for the Santropol sandwich. But all the vegan / vegetarian sammiches there are superdelish. There is wicked good food everywhere in Montreal, you won't go hungry that is for sure! AD

Children Of December NOTES: # Brad broke a string According to the comments in the linked thread, there were 3 tapers of MMJ, two of them went to DAT so it will take a while for the show to show up. If anyone finds it in the meantime, please post here! Cheers. I wish you could all hear how awesome Lay Low and Dondante were... The whole show was great. AD

    Just got in from the show last night, will post more thoughts later. Awesome show, great setlist (did I mention the great setlist?), sweet sound and nice venue. Lay Low was epic, Phone Went West, Run Thru... Nice. Missed the Slip. Note to venues - if you publish the door time as 7 on the tickets, don't put the opener on at 6:45. Boston is an amazing city, from what I saw.

  20. schwa will be relieved that my crime spree is over.
  21. right now, yeah. unless you can point me to a record shop that stocks Ultra Mega Technobandið Stefán right now in Ottawa. Or they might be playing here soon? Until that day, I'll listen to them where I find them.
  22. was posted a couple months ago. i'm glad there's no Duo in Boston.. more time for MMJ
  23. they're not on OiNK. that disappoints me.
  24. i wonder if the end use is always decided by the seller, or if it's the consumer's decision to make?
