Been a few tornadoes in the Philly/So. NJ area. Scary, adding those into the existing rain and wind.

To stay, or traveling, or ??? We're in Philly this weekend. Happy to help if I can. Send me a PM if so. Appreciate the offer, Peter. She lives there part of the time, out a little past Cherry Hill. She's got a number of friends in the city if she decides she wants to go there instead.

My sister lives in Houston, which is the 4th largest city in the U.S. In 2008 Hurricane Ike hit Galveston and then Houston. She and her family decided to ride this one out instead of evacuating (primarily due to the mandatory evacuation fiasco for Hurricane Rita back in 2005, when it took something like 28 hrs to drive from Houston to Austin (normally a 3 hr drive). Luckily, their house sustained no major damage, though there were numerous downed trees in the neighborhood. But they lost electricity completely, for something like 10 days. You try "living" without power for that long - it's difficult. Gasoline was hard to come by, a few people had portable generators, but it's still difficult to cook or refrigerate foods. The downed trees made it difficult to traverse alot of roads, and the utility companies were so overtaxed it took that long just to get the repairs made to get things back up and running. Stay safe. My wife's between Philly and the NJ coast, and very nervous. I'm nervous as well.

What - a mass of Alpirsbacher Spezial and a Mystery Science Theater 3000 dvd??

Either way I've truly enjoyed your photos, Bev!

Here's the video, nice performance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTcokoyn_HQ

Another video from the new album, for "Index", here. Also, Gavin Harrison is doing a drum solo on Letterman tonight, as part of "Drum Solo Week".

Glad all my friends (and Ron too!) are doing ok!

Thanks, didn't even notice that! Been a long time coming!

I thought the Complete Columbia Album Collection was the perfect MD set. At least for the Columbia era. How does chopping it down so far make it more perfect??

I'm not sure, but the same picture is on the inside of the Telarc disc's booklet.

...in other Cryptkeeper news, the Raiders picked up Terrell Pryor in the 3rd round of today's supplemental draft. Wonder if they think he's gonna turn into an NFL caliber QB, or they try to make him a WR.

Another SW freebie from the new album, this time it's the radio edit of "Like Dust I Have Cleared From My Eye". Found here.

"Levin Torn White" due out in September. White as in Alan. Could be interesting!

I'm in!

My real name works out to "Leering Drunk".

Happy Birthday!

I am FB friends with him as well, but I'm not going to let it change things for me. I may need to be more selective about who I am friends with, though.

Also - a nice interview with SW about Grace for Drowning, here.

I like that very much! Interesting video, too. I also like the 9 minute long "Remainder the Black Dog" as well, which is the freebie MP3 track they offered up (available if you give them your email address (here). Looking forward to this album alot! And the Opeth, and the two King Crimson reissues (Discipline and Starless). And the next U2 reissue (ducking), Achtung Baby (available in a 6 cd/4dvd set, yikes!). I happen to think that's U2's peak, and don't care too much for what came after that and Zooropa. Oh, here's the latest SW Soundcloud freebie offering too, the earliest demo of Disappear, from the Stupid Dream era, but not recorded until Lightbulb Sun. Another interesting track he put on Soundclock (here) is "Death of Samantha", which was originally a Yoko Ono track on 1973's Approximately Infinite Universe. SW took the Yoko vocals and put entirely new music to it.

You guys are veering dangerously close to coherence.

Late here too (out of town last week, sorry!), but wishing you all the best, Shawn!

Can't pick one over the other. II is the best sequel that's ever been made, IMO.
