No. Gawd no.

Ottawa this Saturday morning = collective post nero hangover

I think YT would have a special for you, DB.

I'm taking Sat. night off. I expect to be a full-on mess for Friday night. [color:purple]Somebody punch me in the face, immediately.

True of all times, I think. The now just feels more immediate than the past because of .. well .. the obvious.

wicked-awesome?

Moody Blues Iron Maiden (above two I got from the commercials) [one pauses here to dispair that Chez got the exclusive -- it's a classic rock station, they aren't going to mention any of the cool side stage stuff] Fuck this fucking station right in its fucking asshole. I'm suffering through Knights in White Satin right now. [edit:] Wish that I had seen Bouche's post from a few minutes earlier .. would have saved me a lot of pain.

Chez 106.1 says: Oh geezus, I thought they were going to announce this thing all at once. It seems they are trickling them out one at a time. You're on your own. I guess we'll get the full list in the morning. I can't sit through Rush long enough to wait for the others to be announced.

Thank you, kind sir, for the heads up.

Actually, it's "What is it?"

For sure it has -- the question needs to be: in what manner has it made that impact, to what degree has it made that impact, and of what consequence. The technology of radio impacted music sales as well, to be sure. The ability to tape singles directly off of the radio onto cassette, and later the ability to burn commercial CDs onto blanks, is how we ended up with the private copying levy to compensate for 'lost' sales. I suspect that we all download music and I also suspect that the RIAA overstates its case. So damn hard to figure out what is really happening with so many competing interests. I can think of a number of people who couldn't be bothered to try to figure out how to download music via torrents or file sharing networks but who have stepped up their music consumption - and emptied their wallets - because of the ease of use of itunes and such. I wonder where one meets the other.

I notice that Low Rain posed the question, but hasn't yet answered it (him/her)self

What's up with the Maverick's website? nero isn't listed on the events calendar and I don't see an option for online ticket purchase. I'm hoping there are still two available for Friday night -- I suppose I can call Vertigo in the morning.

For some historical answers: Thread: What's Up With Your Username?

Hey man, you can stash your gear here. As for crashing, I'm all booked up for comfortable spots, but if you don't mind an air mattress on the floor - mi casa su casa

Thanks for these, they are very good. A bit of constructive criticism, if I could: ID3 tags, please. And mixing m4a's with mp3's is evil. But thank you! I've discovered some stuff that I wasn't already tuned into.

I managed to find this thread: drawk and popoweeie sitting in a tree but the picture fails. Ms. Hux or Bouche, help a brother out. (Also - I have no idea what Booche is on about either)

In my heart. Bite your tongue.

Pssst - you're using too much.

'twas! Thanks Dr. and moe.ron - that was a nice way to spend Earth Hour. You're handy on that there geetar.

I've always wanted to try a fermented salsa, but haven't gotten around to it. I had a recipe bookmarked on the old machine that people raved about, but can't find the exact one. Here's a couple lactofermented ones that I stumbled across via Google though.

Funny, when I saw the thread title I was going to chime in with smoked applewood cheddar. +1

Haven't made BBQ sauce in years (getting lazy, I guess), but here is my recipe: 2 cloves garlic, crushed 3/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar 1 six ounce can tomato paste 1/4 cup dark molasses 1/4 cup light molasses 1/4 cup filtered water 2 Tbsp orange zest 1/2 tsp each: black pepper, ginger, ground mustard 1/4 tsp each: allspice, celery seed, dried thyme 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper 1 small bay leaf 1 Tbsp liquid smoke (optional) In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients except the liquid smoke (if using). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add liquid smoke. Stir. Not sure how long this keeps in the fridge, but I've never had it go bad on me. *shrug*

Awesome Here's the second half:
