ive sometimes found it better to book directly with the hotels themselves in montreal, just as cheap, choose the location, and a 24hr cancelation, if needed.
really eh. I find for 4 star hotels priceline ussualy beats them by a lot. I always check after I win what the going rate was of that certain hotel. The omni i got for 101 is a bit cheaper. I just checked, last week it was much more expensive. now they have some sales on

Luxurious accommodations, American breakfast buffet daily per person in the room, Omni kids pack, and milk and cookies for the kids the first night of arrival
so ya i guess may have been cheaper to take one of those packages. only saved about 15 bucks based on this rate. I still feel i saved a few bucks

we should start a priceline bidding forum on here so we can let each other know how much we got certain hotels for. Especially for shows we all travel down for seperatly.

this site is good too. gives you an idea what others have won at at different star levels across the city http://www.biddingtraveler.com/

They are good for montreal. Not as good as hotels deals I have gotten in the US. But still great. Last year I got the Hyatt for 90 bucks all in. But that was in may. I just booked on this year for Tame Impala on saturday and got the Omni on Sherbrook for 101 plus taxes. 10 minute walk to my show. Can't complain their.

Does anyone know anything about Laura Marling other than that she's sometimes backed by Mumford and Sons she's a brit of a mystery.
I have been hooked on her big time. i love her music. her dad taught her how to play. first song he taught her was neil young's needle damage done. Alas i cannot swim was highly aclaimed. she wrote most of the album with the charlie fink from noah and the whales. the guys from noah and the whales back her up for the album. after the album got prouduced and distributed she broke up with fink. Then guess who became her backing band. mumford and sons. well two of the members of mumford. And she started dating marcus the lead singer. her last record i speak because i can was also very aclaimed. she was only 18 when she wrote alas i cannot swim, very wise singing but you get hints of her age. i speak because i can i found complemented it nicely and showed that she will be a force to be reqoned with and will not go away anytime soon

oh ya the yonder vinyl shipping to canada is rediculous. If you want it get it shipped to a friend in thd US. That's what i did. Thanks Rob

For all you vinyl freeks that are in yonder mountain string band. They just released their first record to vinyl.only 500 copies made.
and while i am at it. Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx
We're New here
In February 2010, Gil Scott-Heron released ‘I’m New Here’, his first album in thirteen years. Produced by XL Recordings head Richard Russell during various studio sessions in New York, the album was enthusiastically received by fans and critics alike. Meanwhile, the last eighteen months have been meteoric for Jamie xx. His band The xx’s debut album (which Jamie produced) received huge acclaim, picking up 2010’s prestigious Mercury Music Prize, while Jamie garnered respect for his remixes (in particular of Florence & The Machine’s ‘You’ve Got The Love’) and solo productions (forthcoming single ‘Far Nearer’ on Numbers)
So what happens when one of the most exciting young producers around reworks one of the most acclaimed albums from a true legend? The result is Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie xx’s We’re New Here which sees Jamie xx remixing thirteen tracks from the original I’m New Here album sessions.
Deluxe edition can only ship to N. America and contains
* LP on pink heavyweight vinyl
* LP of instrumentals on green heavyweight vinyl
* CDs of both standard and instrumental album
* 2 limited edition photographic prints

I have released the hounds on this one. I got people from all over the us and canada looking for this one for me on record store day. I will have a few copies. I just want one. But i should get one. Whish me luck. thanks for the info edit i mean one of each copy.

i saw them in november in montreal at le national and they really do emit that emotion live on stage. pretty awesome live show. they love what they are doing. go see them soon . after last night i think they will be moving up a notch in the venues. so may be a bit easier to get a ticket in larger venues. Avett brothers did great too. loved seeing both band with bob dylan. that was a treat

Great Stories. Makes me want to hit the road again real bad. if you are coming back up the east coast try and hit the john coltrane house http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Coltrane_House
we got lost in philly once trying to find a small ass tavern to see a band and stumbled upon this house. Awesome vibes.

I was downloading discographys of bands last night on demonoid.me. and cause of this thread i noticed black eye peas discography stats
Black Eyed Peas Discography (2010)
Other : MP3/Variable quentin888 598.30 MB 29 17990 people downloaded this shit 253seeds 69 leachers currently downloading
that's a lot of people diging their shit just for one website's stats. hell i don't think the bob dylan discography even had close to that number of downloads. goes to show they are doing something right

what are you going to be using it for. for hd, hooking up your laptop/computer to it. or striticly for cable and dvd's. i am getting one so have been researching. i don't do cable i stream everything online so i wanted to make sure my laptop is compatible with the tv. sony, panasonic and sharp i have been told are the brands to go for. if you want to hook it up to a newer laptop make sure it has hdmi so you can play your laptop on the tv 1080 p and 120 hertz to get your best play back from computer to tv

Aloha,
Brad
you mean thursday brad

so nice. mine came today as well. can't wait to get a signature on these posters and get it profesionaly framed pronto!!!
-
Hey Yall, not sure who has received the posters yet. Myself and Mike are going to organize getting all these posters signed for those interested. Bouche contacted Marco's manager and he said no problem at all. So our best plan of action would be getting a large tube and shipping them all in one tube. I think fedex would be the most secure and quickest. So i was thinking if we get like 20 people interested. 5 dollars each for shipping should cover shipping their and back. Each poster is numbered so we can identify each poster that way. Only thing is posters will have to be gathered.Can be brought to my place or given to mike and he can get them to me. Please let me know who is interested so we can get this ball rolling. Can't wait to see everyone at charlie hunter. Going to be an amazing show. Cheers Rob
-
you have any extra flyers brad
i have a few extra flyers and show posters for Ottawa and Hamilton and I'll bring them to Charlie Hunter on April 22.
yes please briguy. thanks brother.

Another thing i try is going to look what the offer is at hotwire.com. they are ussualy bang on or try to beat them by a couple dollars. so gives you an idea what to bid and you can check with the possible hotels you are interested in if any of them can beat that amount hotwire has
