    Go NHL Go 11/12

  2. This is really awesome news. I couldn't begin to list the amount of music I've discovered, been introduced to and simply grown to love because of the genius and foresight Alan had to spot and document the truly unique and extremely important (but near unknown) moments and artists in traditional/roots music that would probably, if not for certain, had gone the way of the do-do simply because recording execs, company's etc didn't (and still appear not to) see the over-all importance in preserving what should really be deemed a national treasure (IMHO). My only wish is Alan had done some field recordings here in Canada, I can only imagine what he would have documented. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to this. http://www.nytimes.com/music/the-alan-lomax-collection-from-the-american-folkl [color:red][edit to add] Relative links: http://www.loc.gov/folklife/lomax/ www.culturalequity.org/features/globaljukebox/ce_features_globaljukebox.php
  3. The fucked up logic here is assuming everyone who uses those type of sites are pirating music/movies. It's the same logic the people wanting these laws already have. People seem roll their eyes at these laws as not much to worry about, but I imagine when the USA's censorship starts to effect Canadians, people might see it differently - Imagine logging on your computer and seeing this website blocked due to URLs posted here that the USA deems piracy. (and this site would be blocked). That's the big issue for me, censoring me with US laws or in my case directly, deleting my blog based ONLY on where I choose to host my files (legal shared files btw). These arrests/busts/shut downs etc are proof the US doesn't need to censor content to enforce the copyright laws - it's just a veiled way to gain sympathetic support to police the internet for anything the gov't doesn't want their people to have access to. Another year or so and I wouldn't be surprised we'll see the same suggested or happening here in Canada.
  4. No idea. I personally can't retrieve it, my wordpress account is still there, just no blog. I sent an email yesterday asking to specifically point out what material was infringing, but I haven't heard back from anyone yet. Last year I was asked to remove a Dylan show, and the d/l link was deleted (last year) by megaupload themselves, but other then having the majority of my d/ls on their site I really don't know what the offending material was yet. A blog friend thinks it was due to linking to megaupload but I don't know about that. As for where is the line, I have no idea. But here's an example of what can happen (even without SOPA/PIPA) with these money mongers using programs and poor research to enforce their rules. Check out this crap. http://thepopcop.co.uk/2012/01/why-sopa-pipa-spell-trouble/ SOPA/PIPA is a scam, the arrest of the megaupload folks proves the US doesn't need these laws. They already have the ability to enforce this crap. All these laws will do will allow the US gov't to abuse and censor what they don't want their people saying or hearing. At least that's how I see it.
  5. You know Brad, I posted similar links for that stuff in OP, but every time I hit enter I got "forum not active" error message. Removed them and it worked. Weird. But thanks for posting it, I was just about to. I also noticed my blog was gone. Checked my email that I use with it and sure enough wordpress cited "copyright infringement" as the reason for the deletion a few days ago. I only had live recordings on there and ones in (or that were) mass circulation on the usual torrent sites (Dime, TTD, HC etc). Not that it matter anyhow as a lot of my files were hosted at megaupload. lol [edit to add]I wonder how much of a coincidence it is that this happened when it did AND only two days after I added the "protest SOPA/PIPA" ribbon banner wordpress offered bloggers to post (in dashboard settings for those wondering).

    For Star Wars fans

    haha _ shared that r2d2 xmas album here a few times over the years. Here's the 2012 Volkswagen Game Day Commercial Teaser.
  8. We were offered comp golds, but haven't decided if we're going to.
  9. Heard about this last week and laughed my ass off. I bet they don't make it half-way through that tour.

    Netflix Picks

    As bouche and Ollie mentioned, the xbox will be the better choice of the two (wii/xbox) for netflix. One thought I have regarding your load/buffering issue (if it isn't the wii causing it) is to start the show, and then once it connects, pause it and let it load fully, then hit play. I used to do that with an older pc when streaming youtube or movies. Not an ideal fix per se, but it does help ease the frustration.

    Have fun folks, unfortunately family circumstances require I stay close to home.
  13. I thought maybe I was the only one who saw that. It also says 335' date='545 pages, but I can only actually see one.[/quote'] I saw it the other day and took a screenshot. I wasn't logged in so I didn't know if that had anything to do with it, apparently it didn't. Link to screenshot.. http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/7991/wwtfn.jpg
  14. I have one as well. I bought my ticket via paypal so I only have the email receipt. Not really sure how that would all work for someone else claiming it though. Should I contact the venue and have them change the name on the receipt? Anyone know if I even need to?

    Go NHL Go 11/12

    Yeah, I watched the video and I disagree with their decision. I don't think Tootoo really had enough time to move either, but on the same hand, Miller was stationed in his crease, not 15 feet out and stepping into Tootoo's path. What I mean is, it can't be easy moving out of the way of someone who is moving into your path opposed to moving out of the way of someone just in your path. Although neither is as simple as it sounds. If that makes sense. Regardless, I disagree with the suspension, but agree with the in game penalties, which I think Lucic should have received when he hit Miller. Like I said, I don't think the NHL knows what to do here. I mean, Booth didn't get anything other then two minutes for his hit on Kiprusoff. (which is a better comparison in my opinion)

    Go NHL Go 11/12

    I can't say the same defense can be applied here since the circumstances aren't really the same. Miller was in his net and not stepping in front of Tootoo like he did with Lucic. That doesn't mean I think Tootoo should have been suspended though. In my opinion, Tootoo should have received the in game penalties he got and that should have been that. I honestly don't think the NHL/Shanahan knows how to call these types of things.
  17. He also played with D.B.T prior to Shonna.
  18. I guess I'm going be "that guy" here, but this is my honest opinion. Her leaving doesn't really matter to me. I love D.B.T (saviors of rock & roll, in my opinion), but I've never really enjoyed her songs/singing etc and was never really impressed with her playing either, she never seemed to stand out with the band to me in any way, aside from being the only female. However, I hope what ever she ends up doing, does well. Good luck to her. Someone asked Isbell if he was going to go back to DBT now and he responded "No' date=' I'm a terrible bass player". [/quote'] I laughed when I saw that one twitter. I'd love to see him playing with D.B.T again though. Even though I've grown used to him not being there I will admit that my favourite shows have always been with him in the line up, he just added a great dynamic to D.B.T that I really enjoyed and one I've missed since he left. Wishful thinking, but I doubt we'll see it. BTW - if you have twitter and enjoy following very active (funny/interesting/normal) people, Jason is a good one to to follow.
  19. Not that I need an excuse, but that excuse will be why I'm watching. Then again, I just picked up 24 tallboys for an afternoon hockey game (Go B's!) so maybe I'm not a good one to answer this question.

  21. Glad no one was getting arrested, sorry to hear about this though. I'm sure many folks are as confused as they are surprised. What's the overall vibe in your opinion Todd? I saw tweets referring to the "opium law". [color:red][edit to add] Found a on youtube where they specifically mention the opium law. I guess the oil making contest ruffled a few feathers.
