  1. I don't know why people think it is acceptable to get on stage, uninvited. She obviously wasn't too drunk that she didn't know what she was doing. Maybe afroman shouldn't have clocked her but come on, the guy is working. If that had of been Mark Tonin performing, he probably would have fucking killed her. You don't want to fuck with Tonin, because Tonin will fucking kill you.

    It used to be top secret. Now it's just sorta secret, but not really.

    Awesome! Any plans on a screening after party?
  4. I didn't read the original post carefully enough. I was assuming he was converting on a computer before transferring it to the tablet. As far as I know there is only a computer version of handbrake.
  5. I use handbrake for video conversations. Works well //thread
  6. http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/606-jack-white-publicity-stunts-2015-2025-a-speculative-digest/ Jack White Publicity Stunts 2015-2025: A Speculative DigestBy Jeremy Gordon, December 18, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. EST It’s the end of 2014, and Jack White is clearly bored--or assumes we are with him. How else to explain White’s creation of a virtual reality app, vying for the world record for pressing a vinyl, putting a hologram into one of his records and this single-in-a-couch business? It seems he can't top himself with each new promotional scheme, but as fans are finding out, he’s just getting started. Below, we’ve chronicled the projected arc of his future career. January 13, 2015 Nashville police are alerted to a clammy man in a coachman’s hat reportedly stuffing his hands into people’s pockets and purses. The man in question is revealed to be White, who admits he was distributing thumbdrives to unwitting strangers. The drives are found to contain an unlabeled mp3 of thirty minutes of White howling "Support analog media" over an epic solo. February 29, 2015 White appears on an episode of "Sesame Street" where, in a rare moment of savviness, he sips a cup of tea and tells Kermit the Frog that "audio preservation is everyone’s business"—the first joke he’s made since the 2002 roast of Jason Von Bondie at the Friars Club. The moment is ruined when, after being asked an unrelated question during an interview with a college newspaper, White goes on an unhinged, 37-minute rant about how, conceptually, a talking frog is "ridiculous." April 12, 2015 White launches the Jik Jack app, which is just a BBS for users to anonymously complain about the state of modern music. March 8, 2016 Inspired by the Foo Fighters’ Sonic Highways, White releases Pump n’ Play, an album of songs recorded on a reel-to-reel four track at rural gas station bathrooms around the country. "There’s nothing realer than a gas station bathroom," he states in a press release. November 23, 2016 White becomes a minority owner of the St. Louis Blues franchise, but sells his shares only a few months later. He later admits he had no idea he was buying a hockey team. April 2, 2017 White announces the inaugural Jack White Festival, where he’ll play every single song in his discography. Upon purchasing tickets, fans are mailed instructions for hand-crafting a very specific type of dugout canoe made of "cedar struck by lightning" that is required for entrance, along with a set of coordinates within the Everglades, where the festival is held. "That’s the devil’s territory," a grizzled parks veteran says to anyone who’ll listen, though no one pays attention. None of the attendees are ever heard from again, though it’s clear from their tweets they had the time of their fucking lives. January 1, 2018 In a surprise move, White shuts down his signature Third Man Records and launches Fourth Man, a label exclusively devoted to pressing EDM on vinyl. While sales are robust, his hardcore fans are confused—further still when White demolishes his guitar before the crowd at the Electric Daisy Carnival right before singing over Zedd’s remix of "Fell In Love With a Girl". He and Skrillex get an apartment together in Berlin, become recluses, and spend their days perfecting the next-level drop. White donates his extensive fedora collection—by now, the largest in the world—to an Austrian hat museum. According to friends, White spends his nights jamming with an electro-reggae band and has never been happier. April 19, 2021 On the 20th anniversary of Third Man’s original launch, White releases a 19,000 word handwritten letter through his publicist announcing the closing of Fourth Man and the relaunching of Third Man—this time as "Third Man Classic." The label commemorates its return by issuing the long-rumored Lazaretto "super-ultra" LP deluxe edition, which comes with 622 LEGO pieces that can be assembled into a playable copy of the record. "You’re a genius," White’s accountant says with a choke in his voice at the board’s first meeting, which is held in room 414 of the Gunter Hotel. May 3, 2022 Morning golfers at the Hillwood Country Club are scandalized when, one morning, Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach is spotted sprinting from White’s nearby manse. Auerbach, who’d disappeared years earlier, reveals he was kidnapped by White following a disagreement in the carpool line at their children’s school. White is sought for arrest, but remains on the lam for several years, bouncing between houses maintained by members of the White Swirl fan forums while penning several unpublishable manifestos he mailed to Rolling Stone. (Though one heartbreaking entry, titled "To Meg", is enough to make magazine founder Jann Wenner sob for eleven consecutive hours.) At White's trial, he reveals he recorded an album sourced exclusively from the licks he forced Auerbach to hear on repeat. (Auerbach's captive wails can be heard in the background.) "It’s my masterpiece," White says, proudly, "I've finally captured the true sound of the blues." August 7, 2025 While in prison, White enlists "This American Life" journalist Sarah Koenig to backtrack the recording of the Auerbach torture record. At the conclusion of the 12-part radio serial, his reputation is irreparably tarnished when Koenig concludes that, yes, his guitar tone could sound a little more authentic
  7. I read that and I think of how Simcoe embraced the Gentlemen of the Road and all the good that it brought to Norfolk. People going to that festival will bring wads of cash to the area. I bet Simcoe would be glad to host an event like that again.
  8. I didn't know who Macklemore was so i looked him up on youtube. Apparently he is a Beverley Hills Ninja:
  9. C-Towns and DB in the lot the next morning:
  10. and one other thing, the main stage shuts down around 11:30 and then they go to an indoor venue for late night sets. Yes, there are people still out partying and making noise but it's not nearly as bad as say all-good where they set off fireworks for about an hour straight starting around 1 am practically right in the family camping area. Generally, people are pretty respectful in the family area.
  11. It's a pretty good festival for kids,they have a play area, that's actually pretty good and lots of activities for them to do. The kids parade on Sunday is a hoot. The family camping area is full of other kids too.
  12. I feel like I should just go and crash the gates like any good Ontarian should do, in honor of the past.
  13. Some new additions added today to what was already an awesome line-up. David Grisman will be doing a Del and Dawg set as well he will be artist at large!!! Jason Isbell was added as well.

  15. Alvarez Grateful Dead Series - NAMM 2015 Submitted by Alexander on Wed, 01/21/2015 - 03:26. Alvarez introduces the Grateful Dead Series signature guitars as part of the company's 50th Anniversary celebration, coincidentally, this year is also the band's 50th anniversary. Advertisement These guitars are based on Bob Weir's WY1BW acoustic-electric and comes in two models, the AFGD65 Flag and Montage. Both guitars feature custom artwork inspired by classic Grateful Dead images, printed on the instrument using a special silk screening process. It's quite a coincidence that Alvarez started out on the same year that guitarist Jerry Garcia happened upon the phrase "grateful dead" dead in a dictionary. This phrase became the name of Jerry's newly formed band which went on to be among the best known bands in history, which recently earned them the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Related Feature: Alvarez MDA70 Alvarez and the Grateful Dead's first collaborated in the '80s, both Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir worked together with the company's luthiers to produce signature models for the two artists. The artist and Alvarez' team tried various shapes, from Dreadnoughts to Jumbos, and utilized the favorite attributes of both Bob and Jerry, which include the Modulus neck and Tree of Life inlay. According to the Alvarez, their combined efforts and years of fine tuning resulted in Bob Weir's WY1BW, a guitar that Bob still plays today. St. Louis Music Senior VP and Alvarez Development Head Chris Meikle, said “We’ve been really blessed by our partnership with the band over the years. Creating a guitar worthy of the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary was very important to us. We wanted to create something that was, of course, very playable with great sound, but was also fully ‘tattooed’ with Grateful Dead artwork, which presents a lot of challenges.” The defining feature of the new Grateful Dead Series is the official artwork applied to the cedar top. The custom graphics are applied via a combination of modern and traditional screen printing process that allows the grain to be shown through the paint. This turns the top into a part of the artwork itself, and since each top has a unique natural wood pattern, every Grateful Dead series guitar becomes a one of a kind collector’s item. The two Grateful Dead models feature solid western red cedar top, screen printed with a satin finish. Other features include a rosewood fretboard with custom mother of pearl inlays, bi-level bridge and 12th fret lightning bolt inlay. The “Lightning Bolt” is a familiar Grateful Dead icon, and was used on Bob Weir’s WY1 signature. The top are supported by forward shifted, scalloped bracing system. http://www.guitarsite.com/news/acoustic_guitar/alvarez-grateful-dead-series/

    Chad should learn to google shit before opening his yapper to stick his dick in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Scott_(rock_critic)
  17. I made a batch using apple wood today. I had a an old fire bowl thingy that the weber lid fit nicely over. I just lit a fire under it with the apple wood jammed in the bowl. Maybe not the most efficient way to do it but I was just going with what I had.
  18. Charcoal is expensive, especially if you BBQ a lot like I do. Here's some videos I've compiled to make your own. The first one seems the easiest but only make a small amount. Common advice seems to be, make sure your wood is dry and you can use hardwood or softwood just don't do a mixed batch. One or the other at a time.
  19. The dates have been changed to the 17th-19th, in lieu of The Dead announcement.
