  1. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but here you go:

    Gorillaz will be sailing into Montreal, QC and the Bell Centre on October 3rd! This will be the first show of the North American leg of the Escape to Plastic Beach World tour. Tickets for Montreal and a further 2 Canadian dates go on sale today and tomorrow!

    Oct 3rd – Montreal, QC – Bell Centre

    Oct 14th – Toronto, ON – Air Canada Centre

    Nov 3rd – Vancouver BC – Rogers Arena

    Details for ALL North American dates can be found on their website

  2. Hold up now. Does this mean that I'm never gonna get a discount on a Steinway or an overpriced Taylor AND no free tickets to Cornmeal?

    I was hoping for someone whose door I could knock on in a pinch or call on the telephone in the middle of the night. You know friends. Like Jon and I, or Weirdness and I or a handful of you others.

    Just remember that a good amount of people here helped you out when you got out of the Don and had yourself a grand old episode. Don't bite the hand that feeds you and all that good stuff about bridges burning....

  3. YATS, I dunno, in my opinion they are nowhere near tight. I also refuse to throw Phish 2.0 under the bus like most do, because I believe there were some amazing shows/sets/journeys during that era that have yet to be matched in 3.0.

    Just one dude's opinion.

    I agree 2.0 had some epic moments, but as far as I'm concerned they were outweighed by the overall sloppiness and the "extreme lows" that popped up far too often. It all comes down to what sounds good to the individual though I guess....

  4. I think they're still playing extremely tight. Maybe not as experimental or adventurous as they're and our younger years, but solid all the way through. They're musicianship hasn't deteriorated at all. Most of all, they're playing 10X better than they were during they're brief, post-hiatus comeback. Like any band that's been around as long as they have, there are ups and downs. I think they're hit a nice plateau, and at least it's good and high...

  5. Tarrytown is NY, on the Hudson River. Used to live in that area of the Tri-State...

    Last night was off the hook! Love these guys and definitely hope the feeling's mutual and they make their way back soon. It just may have been the first time I've seen the Phoenix get down like that...

    p.s. Anyone jot down a setlist?

    Dylan goes Electronica

    NEWPORT, RI—Audience members at the Newport Rock Festival were "outraged" Monday when rock icon Bob Dylan followed up such classic hits as "Like A Rolling Stone" and "Maggie's Farm" with an electronica set composed of atonal drones, hyperactive drumbeats, and the repeated mechanized lyric "Dance to the club life!" "We came here to see the authentic Dylan, the one with the Stratocaster guitar and signature wild blues-rock band behind him," audience member Robert Hochschild said. "Then he walks out with these puffy headphones, some turntables, and a laptop? The guy's a Judas." When asked later about his musical transformation by reporters, Dylan said he had nothing to say about the beats he programs, he just programs them.

  7. Great show last night. One hell of a round trip drive from Toronto and I'm exhausted and elated all at the same time. Highlights were definitely Bertha, Wharf Rat, Bobby's pink guitar and the jam into Help On The Way. I was shocked at how few people there were and how much room there was. Huge thanks to bONES for the ticket and company. Nice running into / meeting Boiler Rat too. Ottawa ain't all bad... :)
