I am only constrained by finances. If the family didn't rely on me to feed and house them, I'd have more than three Mosaic sets, to begin with.

Holy cow! I'm definitely in on this one!

It's only going to be released if they can package it with a Kind of Blue or Bitches Brew reissue.

They haven't played @ the Forum since '96....

I just heard it in the car. No mention of the label (of course), but it was a pretty short piece.

For one brief moment, all the Canadian teams in the playoffs were up in their respective series' 1-0.

Yeah- he's the reason I became re-interested in Wilco after AM (I like Tweedy's Uncle Tupelo countryish roots but completely lost interest when he wanted to become Brian Wilson). Funny how a lot of Wilco fans don't like his "noodling". Huh. Most Wilco fans I know love Nels' playing. Not from what I can tell. All I hear is bitching about how much better things were with Jay Bennett, and that there is too much focus on the guitar now.

some people on the Hoffman forum think those ticket prices are perfectly ok. I don't get it. I think they are overpriced. Anything over $50 is overpriced, I don't care who it is.

Absolutely one of the most talented and unique players, musicians, I have ever heard (just happens that Adrian Belew is almost as good). Doesn't make me want to read his diary entries very often (sometimes they are fascinating, however).

It's just 10% off and it ends soon. I haven't bought any in about a year but will go for the complete Zurich '73 (I'm feeling weak & completist as part of it is on The Great Deceiver) and possibly a the Denver '72 (the more recent concert release, not the very early Summit? studio release.) This need probably comes out of expecting to be buying the next round of 40th Anniversary releases but they've been put off until September. I've ignored those recent reissues because they just reissued everything between 1999-2001 (and they sound fine to me), and I don't have DVD-A, or any interest in watching archival videos more than once. Robert Fripp may deny being King Crimson, but he is definitely the King of Reissues.

I can't get the webshop to load for me for some reason. What's the sale? I haven't bought a Collector's Club disc in probably 4 years.

not a word, but I learned the phrase, "off the crane", an updated version of "off the charts", describing something that is very good. These kids today never stop inventing things.

I'd add Straightaways to that Son Volt recommendation. And Jacksonville City Nights to the Ryan Adams.

We got a Shepherd/Lab/Retriever mix puppy 2 weeks ago. He is about 12 weeks old and could pass for a shark or alligator as he seems to be all teeth. Do these things ever stop biting? Kids love him though. They named him Tuna, because he came here from a shelter in Louisiana so we picked the best sounding name from a list of Cajun dog names.

They're Canadian, and tend toward the poppish side of country, but Blue Rodeo are good, and I've heard some good things about The Sadies too.

You think front row seats are only $90?? EDIT: Wait, I read the article now. Never mind.

Wow, it took a whole 3 posts in for someone to whine about the usual noises, etc. Don't we ever get tired of this? Yeah, he makes noises. So what?

It's great. Get it. One of the better new releases of last year.

I got the email. Have you ordered from them recently? Checked your spam folder?

it's all good. especially the recent stuff. Young gets better with age.

It plowed into a figure skater and that was that. Anyway, the event's a shell of what it once was. So NBC buried their skeleton coverage. That's the skinny on that one. there really WAS someone with that suit??!! I thought it was a joke when I heard about it! I hope they gave him a medal for the costume.

I completely missed skeleton. When was it even on?

With all due respect to the Canadian men's hockey team, I don't think you can discuss what happened tonight in the context of the history that exists between these two teams. The Russian club used to be made up the very best players from all over the Soviet Union whereas now, it's divided into four different teams; one from Belarus, Slovakia, Latvia and what's known as the Russian Federation, the Alexander Ovechkin led team that Canada beat tonight. This would be like Canada having one team from Quebec, one from Ottawa, one from Manitoba etc. etc. Now if you could wave a magic wand and create an all-star team from the remnants of the old Soviet Union and Canada beat them like they did tonight, then it might rise to the level of some of the near mythical confrontations involving these two hockey teams. Not exactly. Not all of the Russian players are Russian. Some are Ukranian, Kazakh, and others. They are "incentivized" to play for Russia rather than their own country, according to someone who used to live in the Soviet Union and now follows former Soviet athletes from America.

I spent a week in Whistler during a conference in 1998. I don't remember much as I was in grad school so I took full advantage of the corporate sponsored parties in the evenings (beer on tap, usually ran out within an hour), but I do remember the awesome scenery. The mountains make you sort of turn your head and look up at them whenever you're walking outside.
