Is Alison Mosshart still with the Kills? .........I don't know much about that band, but watching her with the Dead Weather is hypnotic, she is fantastic.
The concert was great! Alison is very talented and gorgeous, the band was good. I liked the four drummers.
However, QOTSA exceeded my expectations. When it was over, I said "Now that was a good old fashioned rock and roll show!" Josh Homme is a great frontman. I would go to see them again in a heartbeat.

Go see 'American Hustle'.
I get such a kick listening to Christian Bale! And seeing Worcester, Ma on the big screen was fun.
I agree. Have read and heard people complaining that it did not live up to the hype...but I loved it. After recently seeing the fantastic but emotionally draining "12 Years a Slave", I thought "American Hustle" was great fun. The acting, soundtrack, costuming, set - so good.
Did you recognize any locations in Worcester? The only thing I recognized was Boston's Anthony's Pier 4, maybe I'll notice more when I watch it again on DVD :-).

My pleasure,jb 126.That part was of interest to me too along with the whole story.
I's heard KR's description of how he used the Philips portable recorder before but that article goes into much more detail.
Yes, and for me, sometimes I can't understand half of what he's saying in a video interview...this was great reading.

Thanks for posting the link Ross62. The "blue" photo of Keith is great. I enjoyed reading his description of how he "strikes" his guitar strings.

"Thor 2" - The first Marvel Comics film I've gone to the theater to watch. I wanted to see a movie, there weren't many choices. It was entertaining, fun. I wish Tom Hiddleston had more minutes.
"Out of the Furnace" - "Release" is one of my favorite Pearl Jam tunes that I hadn't listened to in ages. As soon as I was in my car, into the CD player "Ten" went. "Furnace" included some very powerful performances, but I found myself wishing for more character development. To add to Strider's notes above, I would include some themes from "The Deer Hunter" into the mix.
"Blue is the Warmest Color" - loved it. Realistic portrayal of being in love for the first time, I thought about it quite a bit after seeing it. This three hour film did not seem too long to me.

70 car pile up on 290 in Worcester, MA due to ice.
Yikes
Hope you and family don't need to drive tonight.

Yes, I think I'm looking forward to seeing her as much as QOTSA. I even like her look. A friend who knows a bit about The Kills gives a thumbs up (his taste in music is good in my opinion).

December 13 - Queens of the Stone Age with The Kills

ebk - The subject of your avatar could go into this thread :-).

Two weeks ago I saw "Captain Phillips", I thought it was excellent. Very tense. Tom Hanks and the lesser known actors give fantastic performances.
This weekend I saw "About Time", a time travel/romance film starring Rachel McAdadms, Domhnall Gleeson (very good) and the always excellent Bill Nighy. It was a nice movie, I didn't feel that I wasted my time.

Belated Happy Birthday to you Walter and an early wish to Mrs. Walter. Sounds like it was great. Enjoy your feast.

Happy Birthday Virginia and Rock Historian. Cheers!

"I Feel Like a Bullet (In the Gun of Robert Ford)" Elton John

Canned music but live vocals.
One of the first few 45's I bought as a kid.
Thanks jabe, good one. Love this one too. (Off topic, I love 1970s fashion, hairstyles, cars).

A while back when I saw Avatar, I was shredded (not by you) for being such an ardent fan of the movie, especially the use of CG and 3D.
But my reply was, I saw it as opening doors for less gaudy use of 3D (and CG), allowing it to more subtly influence the movie, to help tell the story.
Gravity has done that.
I think I can safely comment without a spoiler warning that the teardrop alone eliminates any doubt of how well the 3D enhanced the story.
That was exquisite.
For anyone that hasn't seen it - paradigm shift.
Movies just took another quantum leap in absolute, fucking hardcore awesomeness.
Quite simply, MIND = BLOWN.
Thank you, Strider.
You are, without question, Da Man.
I just saw it for the second time this week. Needless to say, I enjoyed the "Gravity" experience and agree with what you said about the Blue-Eyed Merle.
So, I happened to catch This Is The End in stock at my local Redbox, so I grabbed it, caught a sweet buzz and prepared for shenanigans to ensue.
Unfortunately, said shenanigans failed to materialize.
At least you gave it a try. I don't recall even hearing about this one.

Wow, Ledzepfvr, that is so cool you drove the dragster! We went to the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios last night, had madmen with chainsaws attacking us all night. Good times! haha Happy Bdays to Deborah J and Potted Plant! Libras rule!
Happy Birthday to wishes to all the October-born forum members, and may you have many more years of heart stopping fun.

Next Tuesday, the 8th - Buddy Guy
10/12 - Sutton Foster
10/20 - Ralph Stanley on his farewell tour
I was going to see if I could get cancellation tickets this weekend for Randy Newman and next Thursday for Audra McDonald at the Library of Congress...but the Library of Congress is not open at the moment. Sigh...
And, I have a question. If I go see Gary Clark Jr next month, should I see Max Frost or Warren Hood as the opening act?
Look forward to hearing about the Buddy show ebk. He's playing in RI tomorrow night, but I don't think I can make it.
Hope they're all good for you!

I definitely started to appreciate Nirvana more.
I can relate to some of what you said in your post Pagesbow. Sometimes I avoid things because "everyone" is reading it, watching it, wearing it, etc...but with Nirvana, I just didn't truly listen when their music was being played on the radio.
Because of this (Other Bands) forum I have found lots of new music, have become reacquainted with some, and have a new like and appreciation for some artists, namely Nirvana.

Deborah J,
I knew you had good taste in music (besides the obvious). "Tumbleweed Connection" is one of my favorite Elton records.

Last nights show in Tampa was AMAZING! The band sounded so good....Ozzy's voice is not what is once was, but then again he isn't known for it's vocal prowess either! Tony and Geezer rocked out the whole night like the rock gods they are! I really enjoyed the drummer. He beat the hell out of those drums and did his own solo, using Rat Salad as the intro, which led into Iron Man. Great night with the Sabs!
I saw the Sabs last week and had a blast, the music was outstanding. Had a hard time understanding Ozzy when he was speaking in between songs, except for the several times he yelled "I can't f'ing hear you!" when trying to get the audience cheering. It seemed like he didn't want to leave. Took him a few minutes to say good night. I thought it was sweet when he knelt and bowed at the audience - what I called an "I'm not worthy" bow.The show looked to be a complete sell out.

This whole 50 And Counting tour has been the best they've done in years, but they definitely rose to the occasion at Glastonbury. My wife is nowhere near the diehard Stones fan that I am, and watching the BBC excerpt even she admitted the boys were playing well ("Christ, are they old!" she couldn't resist saying, though
)"Well, just goes to show, things are not what they seem".
I'll agree with you Nutrocker and admit that I was going to pass on the tour after watching the poor performance at the Sandy Hurricane victims benefit concert in the fall. But after reading rave reviews here, learning that Mick Taylor would be joining for some songs, and watching some Youtube videos, I changed my mind once the ticket prices dropped a bit. I am so glad that I did! I loved the show, had a wonderful night and got to do something I never thought I would (see Taylor in person). Hearing "Memory Motel" was additional icing.
Sure they are older ;-), but a few of them are still in great shape, namely Jagger and Charlie Watts.

First one is cheating, but I forgot to post earlier.
Summer shows:
Stones (a few weeks ago)
Heart/Jason Bonham
Robert Plant and SSS
Black Sabbath
I need and want one more to make it a handful :-)

That's awesome AS! Plus look how cheap the tickets are for that show!
Lovely!
And yes, it's refreshing to have some very affordable shows to attend this year.
