  1. http://jackwhiteiii.com/jack-white-third-man-records-present-the-worlds-fastest-released-record-record-store-day-2014/ Snipped from article: "At 10am in the morning, Jack will take the stage in Third Man’s blue room and record direct-to-acetate what will serve as the limited edition version of his next single, a live rendition of the title track from his upcoming LP Lazaretto. The masters will then be rushed over to United Record Pressing, who will immediately begin pressing 45s. The sleeves will be printed from pictures taken at the show. The finished records will be whisked back to Third Man to sell to awaiting fans. All in the same day. All in a matter of mere hours. As long as there are fans in line waiting to buy the single, United will continue to press and deliver them to Third Man to sell. Even if it takes all day."
  2. Simon & Garfunkel - April Come She Will http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYD-DIggB2k&feature=kp
  3. Happy Birthday Ally, the Chase (freezing birthday I'm sure) and April Lynn - haven't seen you around much. Hope you're well and having good times.
  4. I'd never heard "It's All Too Much" until today, good tune, I particularly like when the horns come in. Strider - not really important, but in the link you sent is that a small piece of "Ode to Joy" at around 4:40? Thanks for posting.
  5. My Gary Numan "Splinter" CD that I bought because of an earlier link in this thread. :-)
  6. Have a lot of catching up to do. From memory - Lone Survivor - glad I saw it, but another film where I wanted more of the soldiers' personal stories. Nebraska - pretty good. Dern and Forte were good, but June Squibb stole the show. Philomena - a pleasant surprise. Much better than I expected. Sad but plenty of laughs too. The compilation of 2014 Oscar Nominated Live Action Short Films. I'd never seen something like this in a cinema before. Very enjoyable. Only Lovers Left Alive - when I read the brief summary I thought "ugh another vampire movie", but this was no Twilight. It was beautiful, moody, a good cast, excellent music. May not be appealing to the masses - some comments I've read "Boring movie, nothing happens". Some recent films I've seen on DVD: The Fighter - good but not as good as Russell's American Hustle in my opinion - with the exception of Christian Bale, he seems to be good in everything he does. The Master - one word - weird. Unfortunate we won't get to experience any future brilliant performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman. I'm on a Bale bender - Recently watched The Machinist, The Prestige, American Psycho. Bale great in each one and I liked all of the films as well.
  7. Great posts Strider and in_the_evening. I cannot choose a favorite Dylan tune - too many. Another artist I never got to see in his prime, unfortunately. When people start listing their favorite songs, it reminds me just how many songs I love. A random comment - many years and several dogs ago - my first dog was named Dylan :-).
  8. Happy Birthday sickagain hope it was good for you.
  9. I had two BA CDs in my hands at the record store yesterday, didn't end up buying either, couldn't decide. Plans are forming to see BA in a few weeks. Once again, you've found show information I may not have seen - thanks for posting Strider!
  10. luvlz2, Thanks for posting the link to the Gary Numan record - some good songs on it. It prompted me to go on a search for a tour, sure enough....he'll be in my area in March.
  11. If a someone were to upload a private link to the film, I'd be interested in viewing it. :-)
  12. Strider - you are just..... Thank you. Thanks Walter. Hope the new year has continued to treat you and your family well. Thanks paul c! I like that emoticon.
  13. Yes, things have changed quite a bit since the 70s...even since the 90s. The most amazing to me is the speed of technological advances. Although it is a bit tired, and the music overused (especially in things like figure skating programs), I still love the Andrew Lloyd Webber "Phantom" theater productions. The old movie is indeed riveting. Last night I saw "Prisoners". I thought Jackman was a little over the top in his performance, but Dano, Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis were terrific. Upsetting themes and certain scenes that might be difficult for some to watch. I thought it was good and may watch it again to see if I missed some clues along the way. I'll be watching for your thoughts about "Hustle" and "Wolf" if you get to see them. Cheers.
  14. Virginia, I saw Llewyn Davis recently too and want to see it again. Other movies I've seen at the cinema lately, maybe I'll mention DVD rental standouts another time. The Great Beauty - was not as good as the reviews for me, but a nice movie. The Wolf of Wall Street. Ridiculous, hilarious at times. Some have protested this movie as "glorifying" the protagonists and their lifestyle, I didn't see it that way. I was disgusted by them frankly. Her - liked it more than I thought I would. Sometimes creepy, but thought provoking. Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious - hadn't seen it in ages. Excellent with the beautiful Bergman and charming Grant. Blue Jasmine - little bit of a twist at the end. Blanchett and Hawkins deserve their nominations in my opinion.
  15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AomWdsD_MSE Midnight Rambler, recorded October 17, 1973. Mick Taylor turns 65 today.
  16. I opened the Rolling Stones thread to make a comment about Mick Taylor's 65th birthday today and found the post by SteveAJones. Your post prompted some google searching about the film. I've heard mention of it here and there over the years, but didn't know much of its history. A story I came across mentioned that the documentary was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in 2012 with the band's permission. I wonder if the Stones will unblock a release....I feel similar to the author of Steve's link. I probably would have been crushed if I'd seen this film at the age of 15, but now I'm very interested in seeing it. Thank you for posting this.
  17. Re: February 13, 1973 show. Some opinions: Robert's voice is rough in quite a few spots. The band's playing on In My Time of Dying and The Rain Song is excellent. I like the extended "San Francisco" piece in Dazed and Confused.
  18. Happy Birthday Led Zep Girl!
