On the other hand, Canada does vote in a Conservative government every once in a while to remind themselves why they don't do it more often.

Dennis Wilson was, IMHO, a fine songwriter who wrote many wonderful songs that were the equal of his more famous brother Brian's, such as "Forever", "4th Of July", "River Song", and "Carry Me Home" ... it's a shame that his one solo album, Pacific Ocean Blue, is not available on CD.

"Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues"

First verse of "Who Are You?"

On a side note, where the crap can you get a CD player equipped for HDCD? Most GD Vault stuff is coming out in that format, but I can't find a stereo shop that has ever heard of it.

Happy Birthday, Todd, you play a mean Little Martha ...

I like parts of it, but I don't think Colbert makes a good interviewer ... he keeps talking over his guests. I think Stewart has the advantage because he can just be himself when he is interviewing, while Colbert is hampered by having to be the "Stephen Colbert" character all the time, even while interviewing.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who got it

RnB, did you see the recent "Great Performances" broadcast on PBS? It was 90 minutes from the RAH Cream shows, and it was pretty good. Clapton (who seemed to having an uncanny resemblance to Trey to my eyes) was more on fire than I think I'd ever seen him.

Aloha,

Caught it on the west coast rebroadcast ... great set, kind of laid back but in a good way. It avoided the perils of the worst excesses of live Cream ie three musicans soloing at once loudly.

One my 3 all time favorite stand up comedians, along with George Carlin and Bill Hicks. I often said Richard Pryor could make you laugh at his own funeral ... RIP

Cream - Live At The Albert Hall

Well, at least I'm psyched for it ...

Say hi to Fidel for me!

Hi Fidel for me? Hi Fidelity?

I liked her in Go .

Speaking of which, my copy of the 11 disc Complete Fillmore West just came in the mail ... anyone else get this?

Toast-points .

About bloody time for Sabbath, Pistols and Skynyrd , still no Alice though ...

NEW YORK - Black Sabbath, Miles Davis and the Sex Pistols are among five

have passed since their first record was released

Where's Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis by Tom Waits?

While I admit to being bummed by this information, on reflection my reaction is tempered by a couple of facts : 1) I have downloaded and burned more Grateful Dead shows that I am going to be able to listen to in the near and medium future and 2) I have *bought* more commercially available Live Dead than I can really readily assimilate in the same time. The ride was nice while it lasted and I'm going to miss the convenience of being able to grab any show that strikes my fancy, but it's not like I've been short changed. All IMHO , of course ...

When Love Came To Town - U2 with BB King

I Don't Know Why I Love You - House Of Love

A truly distinctive artist

I saw Link Wray at the Blues Festival a few years ago ... Chris Whitley also just passed away, lung cancer ... depressing

One of my favorites is a bootleg Bruce Springsteen comp called Jingle Boss Rock. The last track, Pilgrim In The Temple Of Love, is endearingly filthy. I also love Low's version of Little Drummer Boy, as well as Beck's Little Drum Machine Boy.

This one is fucking intense ...

It was actually Julius Caesar who crossed the Rubicon. I thought it was quite obviously a play on words (Rhubarb + Rubicon = Rubarbicon)

RnB

How does Slint fit into all of this?

I wll most definitely be there.
