Who's in for Charlie Haden Quartet West tonight? Aloha, Brad

I saw Hux graciously overload The Tealmobile, close to its maximum density, to get some friends and their musical gear back from a party at which they'd been stranded (and through a heavy rainstorm taboot). Aloha, Brad

Happy Day, NewRider! Aloha, Brad

Aloha, Brad

I saw Hux play and sing a Ween tune once. Aloha, Brad

Happy Day, TimmyB! Aloha, Brad

Agreed. :thumbup: I wonder how Dr. John (or his management) would respond to a similar letter... Aloha, Brad

Just imagine if they got across the border, but got busted here, and so couldn't go back... Aloha, Brad

A recording of their Bonnaroo show is also available on the Live Music Archive: http://www.archive.org/details/mmj2008-06-13.140v3.flacf16 Aloha, Brad

I hear you, and I'm considering it. It'll be a game-time decision, and will depend on how I'm feeling (and how tired I am, especially given Return To Forever tomorrow night) and how Salif Keita is going for me. Aloha, Brad

Happy Day, KevO! Aloha, Brad

Jones was a blast last night, far better than I expected. Anyone who's downtown today, make an effort to be at the World Exchange Plaza for the Brecker Brothers Tribute Band at noon. The band includes Zakari Frantz, of The Souljazz Orchestra and other projects. If the weather works out, I think I'll be out again tonight for at least a little bit: Florence K soulds like it could be fun, and Salif Keita should be really interesting. Aloha, Brad

Also look at the power supply itself. If it can handle UK voltage (220V, I think) and North American voltage, it should say so on the power supply. For example, the power supply for my Creative Nomad JB3 has a label on it that says: (OK, the JB3 didn't actually say that to me, it's not like my taping gear has come to life or anything.) As well as having a different wall voltage in the UK (220V vs. 110V), the UK also runs its AC at 50 Hz, rather than the 60 Hz AC we get here in North America. Since the power supply says it can handle 240V at 50 Hz, I figure it'd be safe to plug into a UK wall socket, with just the right plug adaptor. Another power supply (a cheaper wall-wart unit) I checked had the same info printed on the label. If your gear has a label like that, all I think you need is a plug adaptor. When in doubt, consider taking your gear to a luggage store, and asking them what you need to make it work in the UK. Aloha, Brad

You might try checking with the closest store to you that carries Converse shoes, as I think they can special-order any Converse product for you. (Whether Converse will make the GD shoes available in/to Canada is another question, though.) Aloha, Brad

Don't tell bradm that. Aloha, Brad

:thumbup: Can you make to Casa Del Popolo tomorrow (Wednesday) night, too? Free Fall (Vandermark/Wiik/Haker Flaten) + Paal Nilssen-Love/Magnus Broo duo + Ken Vandermark (solo) is playing. Aloha, Brad

So tonight it's Yves Léveillé Sextet at 6:30pm, and then Oliver Jones Trio at 8:30pm. The weather looks good through tonight, and I took last night off, so I think I'll try to get to Confederation Park for at least some of both sets. Aloha, Brad

Mike Keneally (who played in Zappa's 1988 band, and has also been in Steve Vai's touring band, as well as having a strong solo) is touring with Dethklok. Aloha, Brad

It wasn't me, and Tortoise isn't part of the Live Music Archive. Aloha, Brad

I must own a pair of these. Aloha, Brad

until you see a red dot on your lapel ...

Would it be great to see/hear Celine Dion cover an entire AC/DC album at The Horseshoe? Aloha, Brad
