  1. ...The White Stripes. I can't wait, although I can wait for Jimmy Fallon to take over.
  2. I know I would like Dr. Dog. I gotta get on that.
  3. They still have some threads of southern rock, but if you've read any recent articles or have seen interviews with KOL, the Followill boys are fascinated by 70's NYC CBGB's rock and Brit pop. I can hear the influences in their later sound too, and I generally don't like what I hear. I found their EP and to a lesser extent, Youth and Young Manhood, to be a breath of fresh air. And no, they don't sound like The Killers, yet.
  4. In other words, The Killers are fucking shitty ass pieces of crap and Kings of Leon are starting to head in that direction.
  5. Although Kings of Leon seem to be heading towards 80's Brit pop with each passing record (and 70's CBGB's bands), they still don't resemble The Killers (thankfully) since they have too much South in their sound.
  6. Dave should open for The Hold Steady.
  7. Too many shows out there and not enough time. I'm not a Ferrell or McBride fan either so I took a pass, although I've heard ok things about the pilot.
  8. I'm really tired and at first glance, I thought the thread was going to be X-rated.
  9. I gotta say though, animated movies look incredible in HD. What took King of the Hill and The Simpsons so long?
  10. O'Neal and Moon for Marion and Banks. We'll see if Marion stays.
  11. This isn't so cool: Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Conan on Late Night.
  12. Look for a Jambands.ca exclusive CD review later this week.
  13. What? You didn't like the very crucial Rangers-Devils game? Ya, I'm glad that was on instead of the Flames-Habs game. Fucking cheap TSN fuckers.

    179, yes, but the last part would be tricky even for him.

    The use of pre-recorded backing tracks has noticably been creeping into live performances in recent years. For example, My Morning Jacket uses pre-recorded vocals and synth-drum loops activated via their keyboard. I don't like it, but then again, many bands have done it for many years, most notably Queen using pre-recorded harmonies on "Bohemian Rhapsody" - watch the Montreal concert DVD. I'll throw this one out there: Although it's not the same as sampling and using pre-recorded tracks, but does it bother anyone when a band fleshes out their sound in concert by adding many extra musicians and backing vocals? Like, is it honest when you see The Stones, Pink Floyd or "The Who" on stage pounding out their hits with 15 session musicians helping them out or neatly hidden off-stage?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "Encore" segment for the Grammy's similar to the Oscar's "In Memorium" segment? The Oscar memorium pays tribute to the year that was, so February 22nd's Oscar show will only pay trbute to those that died in 2008.

    Fress off the presses: Alex Rodriguez has confirmed during an interview this afternoon with ESPN's Peter Gammons that he used performance-enhancing drugs from 2001-03 while a member of the Texas Rangers. "I was young, I was stupid, I was naive, and I wanted to prove to everyone that I was worth . . . being one of the greatest players of all time," Rodriguez told Gammons in an interview recorded this afternoon. "I did take a banned substance and for that I am very sorry and deeply regretful." It was such a loosy-goosy era," Rodriguez continued. "I am guilty of a lot of things . . . negligence, naive, not asking all the right questions. To be quite honest I don't know exactly what substance I was guilty of using." Rodriguez emphasized that the only time he took performance enhancers was during that three-year span. "It wasn't until then [2001] that I thought about a substance of any kind," he said. "And since then I haven't thought about any of that." Rodriguez has not responded publicly since Sports Illustrated reported on its website Saturday that he is on a list of 104 players who tested positive in 2003 during baseball's confidential survey testing, which wasn't subject to discipline. SI.com said he tested positive for Primobolan and testosterone. The Yankees' superstar third baseman decided to give his initial response to the allegations to ESPN. The full interview will be broadcast on the 6 p.m. edition of "SportsCenter" and be posted on ESPN.com. Rodriguez hit 159 home runs during those three seasons with the Rangers -- including 57 in 2002 -- and he was named the American League Most Valuable Player in '03. He was traded to the Yankees following that season.

    I found the night a mixed-bag performances wise. U2 were good, even Bono. It seems The Edge still can rock. Kid Rock put on a fairly good show and Coldplay were mid-tempo ok too. Radiohead was interesting. John Mayer and Keith Urban had no business being even near a stage let along sharing it with B.B. and Buddy. Some of the rap stuff was over-the-top and pretty awful and the Jonas Brothers proved that they are pure bubblegum chewers since they can't handle singing songs with substance; and their collaboration must be an all-time career low point for Stevie Wonder. Jennifer Hudson's powerful and emotional voice lifted the average song she sang. And did Alison's face look normal to you?
  19. Season IV's greatness has made me forgive the spottiness of Season III.
  20. An interesting 5-song EP from an interesting and good new indie band from Moncton:
  21. I heard on The Fan yesterday that B.J. Penn is protesting the fight. He and his corner said that St. Pierre was completely - and illegally -greased up, making it impossible for him to grab.
  22. The third period was pretty entertaining. I like the win for the Bruins, but Ottawa played pretty good.
