  1. Robert, my guess is that you'll have a good 'ol time in there. It's packed with fine brews. Here are a couple of pics. When I was in there, the owner was restocking....had multiple cases sitting about. He's a long haired Irish dude....had to be stoned...but definitely knowledgeable. Directly across the alley is Gollem which is a must see/must drink spot. Seemed to be mostly locals. Hendrix' 'Crosstown Traffic' was playing as I counted 39 bodies crammed in there (including the 2nd level located up 5 creaky steps with 3 good sized tables)....and 35 of us were smoking -- so you'll want to bring your Camels. Highly recommended! I will be there for sure! I've warned the misses that Amsterdam will by my 2 days of living it up. Hope my hotel has a mini-fridge to keep em cool, cause I doubt I'll take beer bottles on my flight to Paris.
  2. This Ain't No Picnic check out Ronald Reagan in this one!
  3. We have Maudite here in Canada - the Damned one - also an 8% brew!
  4. I have a new found love for the Irish Car Bomb--Guinness, Irish whiskey, and Bailey's. Tastes like chocolate milk! I was in Buffalo the weekend of St Paddy's and they had 2 for 1 specials on Irish draft at this pub - Alternative Brews. My bro and I had 8 Guiness drafts between us - tax and tip it came to $18 That would buy 2 here in Toronto.
  5. Hans - you know this place? http://www.crackedkettle.com/
  6. I'm up for a micro recommendation then.
  7. I just love the fact that on June 26, I'll be having a fresh local Pilsner Urquell and a Heineken on tap the same day
  8. You sure you don't mean Holland, Michigan? Actually I have passed through there coming back from Chicago. A nice place as well - maybe should have kept going to visit Chuck? But this time will seek the European version of Holland. Taking a nice trip with my wife (and not the kids for the first time). 5 days in Prague, 2 in Amsterdam, and 5 in Paris. The Tulip Inn was a result of a Priceline chance not a sentimental ukulele favourite.
  9. Rolf - when you headed over? I'll be there a couple of days in late June Staying at the Tulip Inn.

    odd synchronicty - I just browsed through this book at a bookstore during my lunch-time. It's been on my (neverending) book list of what to read next. Maybe in the next month? what is on the CD? - I know they are meditations.
  11. Congrats Paul - that's an amazing opportunity and it has given you a new-found independent energy. Not too many get that chance.
  12. http://www.hotget.com/ Basically they don't host files, they just HTML link to them. But where is all this music? Global servers? The kiddies mostly use this site to link videos to their Myspace sites with Music Video Codes. All videos are property and copyright of their respective owners. HotGet.com does not host media files. We simply supply Music Video Codes All html codes are provided for informational and educational purposes only. But check out some of the music Hotget links to with these random searches http://www.hotget.com/findmusic.php?kterm=...=2&source=1 http://www.hotget.com/findmusic.php?kterm=...=2&source=1 http://www.hotget.com/findmusic.php?kterm=...p;Submit=Submit http://www.hotget.com/findit.php?kterm=ear...p;Submit=Submit http://www.hotget.com/findmusic.php?kterm=...p;Submit=Submit (though it gets some opera hits ) Tip of the iceberg. I found everything from the complete Kinks recordings to Indian ragas, to Robert Johnson. Still, something just seems wrong about this whole thing. Or is it? (please note you can't save these files)
  13. At The Village Vanguard Blue Mance Happy Time - I love his version of "Jitterbug Waltz" on this
  14. - John L. Walters, Unknown Public I think I read a similar version in Keyboard Magazine in the 80s.
  15. Curious how this thread got resurrected
  16. But where's the MIDI out?
  17. Yeah, and then we swooped in and got AAJ all in a panty-twist. Damn, we were a pushy crowd! Nothing like a horde of homeless jazz posters... http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread.php?t=321 or http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/archive/index.php/t-321.html

  19. Stick around long enough and pay attention to the direction some of our discussions take, particulary in the Politics forum. Blue Note apparently wanted none of that. I don't agree with they way they handled it, but I can sort of understand. Nostalgic? They might have even paid the archivers to delete the Politics forum! BN Circa 2000 BN circa 2001
  20. Semiotext(e) SF changed my whole opinion of Cyberpunk writing. A great anthology and a great mind. RIP.
  21. Have a relaxing and meditative day!
  22. I just got an email from him.
  23. I think so. Isn't he a forward for the German national football team and Bayern? A midfielder, Dmitry, a midfielder. Bastian SchweinSchwagerSteiger in a rare photo without his guitar. never heard it, if his guitar playing is as fluent as his speaking, i am sure it's very special I've seen him play a number of times, a great player. He still looks about 13 years old.
  24. Amazon had it listed, but is unavailable. The CD apparantly has 2 bonus tracks. I have it on vinyl too and I agree it is special. 2 others I dig on CD: Nice live reissue. At The Purple Onion samples: http://cdbaby.com/cd/lbdfeh Get this one! Amazing solo recording: Cabin Fever samples: http://www.amazon.com/Cabin-Fever-Lenny-Breau/dp/B000000PDH
