  1. Mustard, grainy or Dijon. It will thicken it a little too.
  2. I first heard of the Black Keys after reading an interview with Robert Plant in 2005(?) where he said he had been really digging their new album. The album was Rubber Factory. I was into it from the first note, and it's still my favorite. I like how each of their albums have retained their core sound, but still evolved. I also think it is interesting how they have allowed their music to be used frequently in commercials, tv shows and movies. I know they are making a lot of money by doing this, but it also gets their music out there in the public consciousness which has really helped with their recent popularity. Saw them in 2008 and will be seeing them again in April. Also really liked Dan's work with Dr. John on Locked Down.
  3. I saw the show in the Pittsburgh last week. Same set I think except encore was Like a Hurricane (12 minutes). It was loud. My ears were ringing for two days. Highlights for me were Powderfinger, Walks like a Giant, Needle and the Damage Done. I am looking forward to the album. 12 songs in two hours, my only complaint was the feedback guitar stomps after Walks like a Giant went on too long. Saw Celebration Day this week and I had the same thought. How tight and intune with each other they seemed to be. What a good time they were having. And boy these old dudes can rock! I love Neils voice and he sounded great. Very funny man too, some of his comments were hilarious. I think it was in the encore that a keyboard "dressed" like a psychedelic angel came down from the ceiling. It was like the stonehenge scene from Spinal Tap. Frank was having a hard time playing it because it was swaying around suspended from cables. I thought it was a great show. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/ae/music-reviews/concert-review-neil-young-and-crazy-horse-rock-like-a-hurricane-656941/
  4. Big fan here. I've seen them once live and jeez can Dan rip on the guitar. I've got all of their albums, and am really into the latest (Brothers). Robert Plant was actually how I got turned on to them, he mentioned their album Rubber Factory in an interview and that he was a fan, so of course I had to investigate. They actually played at the local Arts festival for free last year but I was out of town and missed it. I was glad to see on SNL that Dan shaved his beard, that was godawful.
  5. I think the picture is reversed. He usually holds the mike in his right hand.
  6. Why would any of them wear colored contact lenses? If you are looking at photos, eye colors often appear different, especially light colored eyes. It's really that simple.
  7. Janis and Chrissie are my two favorites but I also really like Johnette Napoliatano - Concrete Blonde Shirley Manson - Garbage
  8. I was going to guess Arthur Lee, but again just a guess. Thanks for posting all of this great stuff.
  9. I have tickets to see him Weds- don't really know what to expect. I guess he'll just read some of his stories. I'm really looking forward to it, he's one of the only authors that can make me laugh out loud.
  10. My parents had that album - Whipped Cream and Other Delights I think. Their stereo was one of those long cabinets that you slid the top open on one side to get to the turntable and the speakers were built in. It looked like a piece of furniture. Oh, the carpet was burnt orange shag.
  11. I read this years ago when it was first published. I really loved this book and I'm inspired to dig through my collection to find it. I thought it was well-researched but also very good fiction. I like how the author didn't let the history bog down the story. The part about the viking invaders gave me shivers.
  12. The Black Keys and the Roots last night. The Black Keys were unbelievable. Dan was channeling Hendrix for sure. Today it's the Duke Spirit, Black Mountain, Gnarls Barkley, Spoon, The Raconteurs and Bob Dylan. Don't know the first two at all, but it's a great line up. Need to rid myself of last night's hangover and get ready to start again.
  13. Now that's some interesting shit, Ev!! Thanks for posting (and reposting) the info on Thelema. Don't feel bad that people ask the same question over and over again. I read your posts earlier today, and by the time I got home from work I had to reread them. It may be simple to you as you appear to be a serious theologian, but the many religions and philosophical doctrines are too complex for me to retain all but the most basic principles. Your knowledge is impressive!
  14. I read somewhere that Robert brought a close friend named Dave to the concert who is in the late stages of some sort of terminal disease. He had this Dave and his family off to the side of the stage and an ambulance waiting in case it was needed. I don't know how true that is, read it on RO I think.
  15. Jeez, don't tell me I'm the only one besides Robert Plant that has asked the bartender in a pub to "turn this crap off"? I do it all the time, nicely of course, not demanding. Generally someone else joins in and then another and another until it's a full-out coup and we get to listen to what we want. And what we want is never Radiohead or the Chili Peppers.
