You probably reduced some inflammation that had been running rampant in your body for years. Reduced inflammation=less joint problems, less digestive problems, etc

pretty useful with the Android app on my Evo. But I can't see myself ever paying for something like this. I'm interested in seeing what Google is cooking up.

He's a musician and producer. He's doing alot of the remastering of the King Crimson catalog. I believe Jakko Jakszyk is doing the remainder of the titles. Wilson is the main guy in Porcupine Tree, and has also done some solo work (under his own name, Bass Communion, and IEM), and also is a primary musician in the bands No-Man and Blackfield. Oh. I never figured out the fascination with Porcupine Tree, so I don't know the names. I tried listening to some of it and it didn't excite me. Same as the other newish band that Crimson had been supporting recently, Tool. Thought I'd see what all the commotion was about there, and it just seemed like a lot of recycled 70s Crimson to me, except with added creep-oid imagery or something. Like I've heard it before, but done better. Well, I trust Fripp, at least!

Who the hell is Steven Wilson? I preordered that new ProjeKCt immediately upon hearing about it. Sounds like it could be great! But, I've liked all the ProjeKcts and especially the latest versions of KC (mid-90s on).

well, the recorded Columbia output.

why such a difference in price between hardcover and paperback?

I've only randomly gotten emails from them lately. I did not get this one, thanks.

Just got back from Baltimore. I had no time to do any record shopping, but I liked the city a lot. The only thing I had a problem with was the seemingly SEVERE lack of Starbucks locations! I was able to only find one, close to the Hippodrome (I forget the street). Thankfully I had it in my hotel room.

great timing for this thread! I was wondering the same thing as I will be in Baltimore from March 13-16, for a conference at a hotel (Sheraton Inner Harbor, I think?). I hope I have time to check one of these places out.

I didn't know about the mobile version. I have my browser settings unchecked for mobile versions, so that I always get the full versions of web sites when possible. I just checked the mobile version of this site and it looks no different than an app would. How did I miss it too?

Why would we need one, though? The mobile version of the board is lightweight enough that I really don't see what extra functionality an app would accomplish. no zooming, browsing to the site, etc. an app would just be an optimized version of the site for the android OS.

I've never heard these bootlegs before. Graz (1976) is almost as good as Dortmund!

free audience recordings, too.

Well, as much as I dislike downloads, I'm signing up for this. Thanks for the post!

I liked Stoa the best, maybe because he was playing electric piano and acoustic piano on that one. He dropped the electric for the next two ECM titles, and they also got funkier (and less interesting, to me). Stoa seems a little more spacy. The newest one, Llyria, has not interested me enough to go back to it after several listens since it came out.

The best thing about my Blue Ray player so far has been the apps. I have Amazon, Netflix, Pandora, some NPR podcasts, and BD-live with discs that support it. And the Le Noise disc is pointless as far as video goes, but the audio is great.

Seems like store #1, the downtown Ann Arbor Borders, will be on the chopping block next, among the 75 other stores closing in the next wave.

Um, Rush isn't American.

I heard that there was a 2 hr wait at the checkout for the liquidation sale at the Arborland store closing sale. The discount was 20-40% off. That's what the average weekly coupon has been for at least the past 3, 4 years!! Where were these people then??

I got mine from Borders.com. No problem.

I've always known Borders more as a music store than as a book store, even though any time I was ever looking for a book, they had it (same goes for CDs, actually). When I moved to Ann Arbor in Y2K, the flagship store had 2/3 of the second floor devoted to music, with a dedicated staff running the section. You actually paid for your CDs upstairs in that section! Seems so long ago. It changed not long after, maybe in mid-2001, when you could go down to the regular check out to pay, and the music staff was no longer there full-time, but still the selection was pretty deep. They are closing the second best Ann Arbor store, the one in the Arborland mall, the only one actually with any decent music selection left. Figures. If they attempt to come back as strictly a bookseller and ditch music altogether, how do they hope to survive? Are enough people buying music or books in physical form for both chains to keep surviving?

got it yesterday. Thanks!

He's offered it to his employees, but the rent is ridiculous. Will they be able to buy it? If that goes, and with the impending bankruptcy of Borders, Schoolkids left a few years ago, Shaman Drum left recently.....there's not much reason to stick around Ann Arbor anymore.

I hope they make it across the state to me through the blizzard of '11

is there an option for controlling the tv via the DVD player? The cable could be implicated in that situation.
