I can't quite figure out why they've repackaged this into 2, 2-disk sets. Did the 4 CD box not sell?

You should keep that one for the cover alone - I did.

I can't add anything to ep1str0phy's review except that Henry seemed genuinely moved by the enthusiastic response from the crowd at the end of the show. They wanted an encore, but he came out by himself and acknowledged the rapturous applause thanking everyone profusely.

A VERY busy weekend. Went to the hellishly overcrowded Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival yesterday and today. Saw Jerry Douglas (w/Viktor Krauss & Omar Hakim), Patty Griffin, Jon Langford & Skull Orchard, Hot Tuna, Carolyn Wonderland. Wanted to see a lot of other stuff (Richard Thompson, Dave Alvin, Kinky Friedman, Rosanne Cash, etc.), but it's become impossible to navigate the crowds - and no fun. Too bad that it's become too successful for its own good. Went to a charity event with Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe doing each other's tunes last night. Very entertaining. If you want to read more, Joel Selvin breaks it down. Tomorrow night - Henry Threadgill & Zooid, part of the SF Jazz Fall Season.

Nice shots!

Mini-review of the Mosaic box in the NY Times today.

THAT ... I would have liked to see. Hey, Aggggggg, look for the message I sent you a couple of weeks ago (through the board) that explains those numbers at the end of "Even Less". Wild!

Coming up the weekend of Oct 1-3 is the insanely interesting lineup at the FREE Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. Check it out.

Nice piece on the NPR site about Gerald. Lookin' good, too!

Aren't you??

Saw Fly a year or so ago at Yoshi's. Sparse audience, but great show.

Check out the audio interview with this article.

To turn J.H.'s phrase around a bit: "I wonder how different popular music would be today if he had he not lived at all."

already got tix

Shoulda gone to One Hour Martinizing (whatever THAT is!)

She's performing at the FREE Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in SF next month (along with dozens of other great artists).

Thanks. Yeah........it's working now. WAV files only, though.

Lung cancer is pretty serious. I don't think you just "get over" it quickly. Hopefully he's doing well, though.

When I tried to DL those tracks there's a popup message that says "The track has reached its download limit"

Chrome. It's lightening fast and not loaded down with lots of ......... stuff. Plus, you can search directly from the address bar.

I've finally reached the point where I'm getting rid of 2/3 of my vinyl collection (1,000+ LPs) for the same reason - no space, too many CDs, and more and more MP3s to keep track of. I'm not selling them here or anywhere else, but hope to have a buyer from Amoeba come by and take them off my hands for trade value. I spent the day sifting through them and was as ruthless as I could be. I still have somewhere around 400, but the situation will be MUCH more manageable from this point on. A very "painful" task, but necessary.

Technically, they're not radios at ALL.

Actually, you don't need a router. You can hook it up to an Ethernet cable.

Squeezebox arrived today. I already love it. It's just like a clock/radio except the "radio" has limitless stations! Nice sound, too. Also got a great deal. Amazon was selling it for $150 which included a coupon for an additional $50 off. So, basically 1/2 price.
