love ya brother - HAPPY F'IN BIRTHDAY!

thanks friends! Had a great weekend up north and just came back from a nice dinner compliments of Laurie. I feel loved.

sendspace is deleted...... can anyone repost?

Q magazine recently called them "America's Best Rock Band".

Songs For a Sleepy Sunday Afternoon 1. Sky Blue Sky - Wilco 2. Day Tripper - Beatles 3. Furr - Blitzen Trapper 4. Farther on Down the Road- Taj Mahal (not the Clapton song) 5. Late For Church - D.B.T 6. Morning Glory - Lizz Wright 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

not so much a time limit, more like, if someone takes the 12th pick in one theme, they might want to be sure they have a new theme in mind and try to make that the next post in the thread - just to keep things moving. no biggie, glad you got your turn eventually!

well I must say that's the first positive review of this album I've read anywhere. My impressions of a few these songs both on the internet and live at the ACC last year did not bode well. Glad you enjoyed it. I'll check it out at some point but I'm not inspired to run out and grab it, like I/we usually do with Neil. He is awesome but man the title tune is a bloody awful, at least.

loved it!

japanese it was - mmmmmm, sashimi. mmmm bbq beef ribs. mmmmm tepenyaki steak & green onions. mmmmmm pulled noodle seafood soup. mmmmmm.

we're debating maybe doing a Japanese place - Sapporo, in downtown Hamilton. Yeah, it's technically a "buffet" but the sashimi is excellent and they cook to order from the checklist menu, it's not a hot tray place at all. I feel indecisive because as much as that would be excellent, I feel I could almost have a bagel and cream cheese, later on some kielbassa sliced up, call it a night and still be satisfied, $25 heavier.

grilling them is my favorite. so good!

I've been going mental about this for a few weeks now, so now I turn to you good people for tips/advice. First a brief history: my computer is a refurbished Asus with an apparently illegitimate Windows XP 2002 on it. Not a workhorse but we don't need one, it suits me for the moment. Now, from day one, in order to get external sound from the speakers, I had to place headphones into the headphone jack on the onboard soundcard. Over time, this jack got looser and looser, I had to wiggle it into the "sweet spot" time and again to get sound. Now it's just too loose to even do that. And where it is mounted on the computer is an awkward spot behind part of the metal casing, can't get my sausage fingers in there. Of course, this is the part of the PC that is inaccessible like this. So, I bought an external soundcard - admittedly a cheap one: Sabrent SBT-SP6C (all I do with sound on a PC is cruise youtube and check out some tunes, nothing demanding AWESOME sound). I put it in, loaded the disc it came with, ran it. Then I disabled the onboard soundcard through accessing BIOS in startup. Reconnected the speakers (properly I believe). And now, I have nothing happening. The sound device manager tells me there are no audio devices detected. When I put the disc back to try to reinstall, my PC thinks it is full of pictures, not data, another source of frustration. Thinking drivers might be the problem, I searched for some for this but that was a total source of frustration. Yes, I could take it in but I admit I'd rather not go computer-less for a couple of days and throw diagnostic fees at a problem that I hope is simple enough and simply down to my lack of expertise about computers. Any advice friends? Remember, I am pretty unschooled in these matters.

OK, I'll do one: Songs about frustration: 1. Why Must I Plead? - Richard Thompson 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

you're my hero Aaron - happy birthday!

well I'm an old man fading away into the sunset of his life so I have no idea what these goddamn kids are doing these days with their video games and playstations and wiis and humpafuck consoles or whatever. But I had almost forgotten about this thread SO MAKE IT LIVE GODDAMNIT!

"Wilco (The Song)" is AWESOME!

happy birthday motherfucker!

too. much. information.

i like traffic lights.

welcome Garnet! Love the choice of name. and congratulations to both of you! hope you are both well.

This does suck - I really did enjoy that board, it gave me some great laughs over the years. Some of their threads were absolute classics - "Weirdest Thing You Ever Did/Saw On Drugs" was a 300+ post masterpiece. Gadiel'd.

Love ya babe, hope you have a great day and we're gonna have fun tonight!!!

it's a real blow to the extended scene, not just Hamilton. But let's raise a toast to Ken and his staff!!! You really couldn't ask for a better crew. and as an aside, while we are discussing this on a jam-focused site, remember: The Pepper Jack Cafe was (is) an important hub spanning several "scenes" around here. People don't always give live music a chance in Hamilton much anymore. I feel really lucky to have taken the stage there a couple of times. And last but not least, they always served great food!!

awesome show, loved the last song (by an artist I did not know of) called "Down River". Elton is an underrated piano player, imo. And he actually seems like a really decent dude. I'd love to spend Christmas with him and David and their friends, I bet it would be really nice. I've finally forgiven him for murdering his own song "Candle In The Wind" back when that Royal babe died.
