  1. As a chemist (not a plumber, though), I'd say try vinegar. It's what I am going to use on my own pipes the next time I need to do anything. The combo with baking soda is non-corrosive and should be just as powerful as the oxidizers and other concoctions sold as drain cleaners.
  2. happy birthday Chuck.
  3. 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.
  4. Holy cow! I'm definitely in on this one!
  5. It's only going to be released if they can package it with a Kind of Blue or Bitches Brew reissue.
  6. They haven't played @ the Forum since '96....
  7. I just heard it in the car. No mention of the label (of course), but it was a pretty short piece.
  8. For one brief moment, all the Canadian teams in the playoffs were up in their respective series' 1-0.
  9. 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.

  11. 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.
  12. 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).
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. I'd add Straightaways to that Son Volt recommendation. And Jacksonville City Nights to the Ryan Adams.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. You think front row seats are only $90?? EDIT: Wait, I read the article now. Never mind.
  20. 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?
  21. It's great. Get it. One of the better new releases of last year.
  22. I got the email. Have you ordered from them recently? Checked your spam folder?
