Page & Plant "Live at Shepherds Bush Empire March 25, 1998"

Interesting. The Hayne Train sounds like a James Brown song...or a dance.

Patriots Seahawks Cowboys...Walter is growing a playoff beard...Fear the Beard!!! Broncos

^^^ Nice one...I just noticed this post of yours: Did you make it to the May show, zepscoda? How was it?

I have seen tickets tubs from 1977 sold for anywhere between $10 to $35 lately.

Matching duck lips...way to go, STZ!

Super boss, Sam...just sooooo very super boss!

I was directing my remarks towards St. Louis not you. Gee Rick...Walter's remarks hitting a little too close to home? You should show a little thicker skin...no need to badmouth our fellow football pool colleagues. Detroit didn't lose that game because of one referee call or non-call...they did enough on their own throughout the game to contribute to their defeat. Loser mentality...institutional memory...call it what you want but it played a major role in why Detroit lost. Buffalo suffers from it as well. That's why it's always "next year" with them. Same with the Raiders.

Reggie, I wished I could have been there to clobber those two sad sacks of shite. Best of health to your daughter...lucky it was only bumps and bruises. Sad today because a friend found out today her beloved dog has cancer and has to put it down this week. That...and the usual muslim assholes terrorizing the world, on this particular day Paris.

After 5 years of the same phone I finally had to make a switch, as my battery port was damaged and it was almost impossible to charge my battery and when I could, it would barely last an hour or so. They don't even make my phone anymore so I had to pick a new one. Also decided to switch carriers...to Sprint. Out with the old... ...and in with the new.

Scenic "The Acid Gospel Experience"

Hawkwind "Motorhead"

In the West-Side Story game of the night, the San Jose Sharks beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 in a thriller!

Panic-mode already? If it involves the Knicks, somebody got fleeced, haha.

Thanks CP! And thanks for turning me on to M & W! http://youtu.be/tWBASgxxLWs

Sending some Nick Cave to a friend and searching thru YouTube for some good clips. "Jubilee Street" was my favourite song from the most recent Nick Cave album, but as good as the song was on the album, the song in concert was so much more powerful. In fact, there is such a wealth of outstanding live clips of the song on YouTube, including the show I saw at the Fonda, I am having a hard time deciding which one to send my friend. So I'm sending three different ones. Austin City Limits: Fonda Theatre, Hollywood: Sydney Opera House (from "20,000 Days on Earth" film):

My favourite U2 songs are generally the ones less known and rarely played on the radio. Here are two of them...in live versions that are better than the studio versions. Live at Boston Garden 2001: Live in Paris 1987:

Send me the leftovers, please.

Spinning the discs at work again... 1. Led Zeppelin "Live at Whisky a Go-Go January 5, 1969" 2. Velvet Underground - Third album 45th Anniversary Deluxe set...Disc 4: 1969 Sessions for 4th album 3. T. Rex "The Slider" 4. Sigur Ros "( )" 5. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Push the Sky Away"

Don't even think about it. Keep away.

Dusting off this classic once again on its anniversary...Whisky a Go Go January 5, 1969.
