nice....just watched the Beacon show last week - hilarious!

Awesome. Just freaking awesome. IN!

It's actually an amazing fest they have - the production company I used to work for does it and it's full blown every year - video screens/big stages etc etc....and -gasp- blues artists at a blues festival!

I'm in the same boat....not enough bang-for-the-buck....tough call too, last year was fantastical.

So wait a second - I can't buy a one week pass? Cause even that was a shit-ton last year. I wouldn't buy a full pass if I couldn't get rid of part of it. Does seem like a step back to me to make it a all-in pass price only...

Lots of awesome, lots of ghastly. Perfect festival! hehehe

wow. seriously? can i quote you for the most ageist comment ever posted here? you keep grandma in the backroom at christmas so she dont spoil your turkey appetite too? the guy just died. no need to rag on him for getting old. RIP Dick Clark. Seriously? Welcome to the internet. First time I see….sheesh. I’ve talked worse shit about Booche’s age! I’m not ragging on him for getting old(is Age-ist a real thing to accuse someone of on the internet? Christ almighty) I’m accusing him and his TV network for not letting him age gracefully, out of the spotlight. He slurred his way through the last few years of NYE, mangling words that didn’t even have consonants. Hell, I didn’t even coin the phrase ‘Zombie Dick Clark’, I’m just a citizen of the Interwebs. http://www.modernprimate.com/opportunistic-grave-robbing-dick-clark-edition/ Also, since both my Grandmothers died when I was fairly young I can’t say for certain if they spoiled my appetite or perhaps I spoiled theirs. My dad is over 70 though and was at the table this Easter – is there a clause in your ‘Age-ist’ allegation that excludes immediate family members? Cause I had seconds that meal

is this really a bad thing? I mean i'm all for not dying but 'Zombie' Dick Clark at NYE is a real-life nightmare....why can't entertainers retire gracefully fer crissakes...

What's 'budget'?? Rode NT1A is probably the best bang-fer-yer-buck condensor around, not harsh like the cheaper CAD/Cascade/MXL/APEX stuff...

WOOHOO!! You guys were great last year - see you Saturday...

A Boy and His Dog - Stapes reminded me how f'ing awesome this was at Xmas time. One of Don Johnson's first movies, one of Harlan Ellison's best short stories. With a f'ed up twist in the middle. haven't been watching muchy telly lately - hmmm...here's some I can think of: Bronson (2009-not about Charles Bronson) Super 8 Fantastic Mr. Fox Whatever Works Middle Men Tucker & Dale vs. Evil X-Men First Class TV? Porlandia (awesome - very Kids in the Hall) Life's Too Short Todd & the Book of Evil

bullshit. Horrible season closer to an amazing series. Would be happier if it was capped at this point....better than slowly letting a series die a horrible death like 'Carnivale' They might as well title the next season....... !!!PSEUDO-SPOILER ALERT BELOW!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Beetlejuice.

Absolutely - the only thing I had on megaupload was all the mixes I had made and the live shows I recorded...treated it like dropbox really...can't say I didn't grab the odd tune or movie from there but that's true across the board on all of those sites- filesonic, oron, rapidshare, mediafire, upload etc etc...

Is this really any different from when we went from FTP sharing to Direct COnnect/other P2P to torrents to these types of sites? Just means another method to allow this to happen is coming shortly.

Don't think I can make it to the VH party but sure wish I could! Here's some fuel for the fire: I'm The One - Isolated Guitar track

Would be a blast...as long as he doesn't venure too far into his techno/bluegrass projects of late (shudder) Techno Country Music

saw this a few months before Game of Thrones - he is absolutely golden in that movie - great movie, it goes zero-to-overboard real quick...

You know that only works when we are making eye contact...

Great show! Hot right out of the gates....first set was not the first nite openers I expected! Lots of energy - MSG can get rockin' alright! What a fantastic venue....very relaxed. 2nd set was all about cranking out the jams in the tunes- The VU RnR was great, dissipating out into places I didn't think that song could reach... And the Tweez reprise was explosive - Mike's got a new toy on the floor, a Moog Taurus pedal (2 octaves of bass on foot pedals - a new model of the one Geddy Lee plays) and he was dropping the analog bass synth booms throughout the end of the reprise.....he hit it once in the first set and I knew that's what it was....there is also a piano bench right there beside him i've never seen before....i'm hoping he's gonna sit down and give us the full-appendage bass assault at some point! Kimock afterwards was stellar!! Great bar, great crowd...I think I have a new favourite Bass Player - Bobby Vegas looks like Cheech but lays down the funk like nobodies business. Wow. Ended with Red Hot Mama, one of my favourite Funkadelic songs - SOLD!

Great interview with Vince Gilligan about 'that scene' http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/12/18/breaking-bad-vince-gilligan-season-finale/

Tool played Lolla in '93 Sweet! I'm not sure if I should feel younger because I was early by a year or older because I don't really remember...Maybe I confused them for the Look People...

nice - first concert I ever took LSD at in 92. -wee- bit intense. Seen them many times since, kinda lost interest after Aenima 98ish or so. I remember their first sidestage appearance at Lollapalooza as well - 91 or 92 - amazing. ...And the wine doc was awesome!! If not just for the Tim & Eric bits - you sound dissapointed like the fans who bought the wine because Maynard made it...

I was still deeply entrenched in the dubstep for the first 1/2 of the year so was a little late on the new-tune-train...only a few: Destroyer - Kaputt Can't get enough of this album. A perfect comedown album, even if you are sober. Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Mirror Traffic Really, no better or worse than the last couple....just really damn good. Dan Mangan - Oh Fortune Good ol' Canadjian rock. Tom Waits - Bad as Me Fantastic album - full of all the Waits-isms you would hope for and then some. Deadmau5 - 4x4=12 Technically late december 2010...it was nominated for a Grammy this year...Try and drive slow when this is on. (He puts on a helluva live show too) fuck chillwave. I do like the new J. Mascis, but don't think it is strong as More Light (with the Fog), my fave non Dino Jr. release - the Edie Brickell cover has been released as a 7" tho BDunn!

Flash Lightnin fuggin' rocks.

No offense taken Jaybone! I don't think I'll ever be able to eat (normal) jerky again without thinking of this unfortunately...
