  1. WOW. looks great Bouche, thanks for all the hard work. The formatting options for making posts is a MAJOR improvement.  :). Posting youtube videos appears to be super-easier. bonus.

    It's all kinda "grey" though if I may offer 1 criticism.

     

     

     

  2. Missed a step at Ethel's before the show. She still rocked out up front all night. She finally decided today she should get it looked at. Torn ligaments and 2 fractures. She has to wear the cast for 3 weeks. Not looking good for Jamland right now. Maybe though...

  3. Jesus H Christ, we are talking about a new Pink effing Floyd album here, not a new album by The Stampeders. Here, I found a lifehacker article that might help you boneheads:

    And just remember, David Gilmour can play guitar better than you, and you, and you and better than your buddy too.

    David Gilmour can play guitar better than you, even if his hands had a pair of socks duct taped over them.

    :susel: :dazed:

  4. fuken eh!

    Pink Floyd may be releasing a new record this fall, according to guitarist David Gilmour's wife Polly Samson, who tweeted (and possibly leaked?) the news earlier this morning.

    "Btw Pink Floyd album out in October is called 'The Endless River'" Polly Samson tweeted. "Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright's swansong and very beautiful."

    Consequence of Sound reports that touring vocalist Durga McBroom-Hudson, who sang backup with the band throughout the 1980s and 1990s, provided further proof on her Facebook page later in the day, posting a photo from a recording session, confirming that the record will consist of "all unreleased material," and adding:

    "The recording did start during 'The Division Bell' sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled "The Big Spliff" that [Floyd drummer] Nick Mason spoke about). Which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them. That's the song you see being worked on in the photo."

    The band's longtime engineer Andy Jackson also confirmed the album's release via fan site Floydian Slip; while the band's current label home, Warner, has yet to confirm the release, Gilmour's manager hinted to the site that a proper announcement would come this monday (July 7). Billboard has reached out to the label and will update as the story progresses.

    If the reports are true, "The Endless River" would come just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band's final album, 1994's "The Division Bell"; the "new" material would have been recorded around the same time. Gilmour currently has a solo album in the works; no word on whether Roger Waters will have been included, but his last appearance on a Floyd record was in 1983 with "The Final Cut," and he reportedly has a new solo album in the works.

    Keyboardist Rick Wright -- whose membership in Pink Floyd fluctuated over the years, thanks to a brief exit in 1979 stemming from clashes with Waters while recording "The Wall," a stint as a live session musician while the band toured that album, and an official reentry into the band by the time "Division Bell" was released -- died at 65 of cancer in 2008.??

  5. just clueing in that drive-by-truckers play at 6pm at bluesfest. WTF? They're no frikkin' 6pm band.

    I saw them at this weird little festival in Ayton, ON. They played around 6:00 pm and only had about 50 fans there. It was weird.

  6. It's a good deal. $22.99 (US) and you get the digital download, which they sell for $9.99. Plus when you go to checkout they throw in a sticker. The vinyl ships in August.

    180g black vinyl (packaged in a beautiful gatefold sleeve to keep your discs warm), plated and pressed by Furnace MFG with lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman Mastering. Includes a digital download of the album.

    Fuego, Phish's first studio album in nearly five years, was recorded in late 2013 in Nashville, TN after a series of writing sessions at The Barn in VT and was produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel). While Fuego's ten new tracks include songs that individual members brought to the table in usual Phish fashion, the bulk of the material was written by all four, working together at The Barn.

    Please note - this item is available for pre-order and will ship on or around August 8, 2014.

  7. Nice! Would be set for a ride down there, but would ideally need a ride back back to the GTA on Thursday. Where 'bouts ya based?

    I'm in Point Clark, up by Kincardine. I cant get you to the GTA, best I'd be able to do is get you to a GO station of some sort. There are lots of CDN folks going to be there so you might find someone that can get you closer. I will help out if I can.

  8. Anyone coming back to Ontario after the Pine Knob ( DTE Center) show? Looking for a ride :)

    Will happily provide conversation and general chuminess as well as diatribes on what snacks should and should not be allowed to continue being produced. Also, gas money.

    Where will you need a ride to? I'm going down and back with an empty car. I am obviously not coming back until the next morning.

  9. Hoping to make it for Sunday night for The Caution Jam. Would love to see some of the other bands on Fri and Sat but I have a feeling I will see some of those guys at "The Manor" over the weekend ;)

    Every one of those Saloon sets looks killer.
