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.

I'll be happy to buy you a mouthpiece, David.

At that BB panel I saw at SXSW in March, Steve Berkowitz said that he had held back about 1,000 of each metal spine box for some future use. When the concept of the trumpet box came up, they decided that was a perfect time to make use of the stash. I think if you have the metal spine sets already, then there's no reason to get this. You could buy yourself a real trumpet for less.

FWIW (and slightly off-topic), Tolliver's "The Ringer" on Black Lion and "Impact" on Enja are available on eMusic.

Music was much cheaper back then. I saw Jimi Hendrix in 1968 for $3.50.

I just ordered a Squeezebox Radio Music Player from Amazon. Have seen a few good reviews of it.

Wow - Pure Narcotic and the full version of Even Less! I can't make the San Antonio show next week unfortunately. Gonna regret it even more if they play tracks like that. I hear ya ...

Well, I blew it and didn't see them last week. After reading this review I'm really sorry I missed it. Oh, well ... Definitely next time.

THIS one is hysterical:

I picked up that Curtis Amy Select last year, but honestly haven't given it much time. I'll pull it out this weekend and take it for a spin.

Some incendiary Jimi from the Devonshire Downs Pop Festival
