Heard a report on the radio that they'll be re-opening in a bigger space in Hudson, NY, which is a bit south of Albany.

Re: math is hard

Worked for FDR, can work for Obama (if he doesn't get shot or they don't rig the election for a third time). I'm thinking it's the latter and they're definitely preparing for a backlash: http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdr---8SA0w They...

Maybe he's referring to the "Poor Boy" tuning?

I had that written down somewhere, but I can't find it now.

It is somehow fitting that a post about Byrne/Eno lifted me to the rank of "Flight of the Peruvian Dragonfly."

It's magic, I tell 'ya.

I'll be there on 11/5 (hopefully celebrating). This is THE show of the year for me. "The Music of Byrne and Eno." It changed my life the first time around. Literally. Long story that I won't inflict on you all, but almost NOTHING in my life would be as it is now without the three Heads alb...

Finally, a candidate that can write his own campaign songs instead of using "Born in the USA" without understanding what it's actually about.

It was modded. Please don't post links for illegal downloads of any music. Especially from music that a member of The Slip is on. Further still from the small record label that will be putting Brad's album out soon. I hope everyone supports this album when it drops. Absolutely!!! Good for you, Clin...

I have the Skidmore show but don't do the upload/torrent/server thing. I can mail a set of discs to someone who's more in touch with the 21st century.

You want them, Clinton?

Some of my favorites are the aforementioned Gone, Just Like A Train, East/ West and the Ginger Baker Trio. (got turned on to that last one here!) I also totally love Good Dog, Happy Man, The Intercontinentals, Nashville, Unspeakable and The Willies. Nashville has a real country sound whereas the In...

That's a GREAT piece!

It captures him perfectly. I could hear his voice as I was reading.

Well done!

No worries. I'm relaxed. Sometimes I forget that it's so much easier these days to try before you buy. Back in the days before these newfangled interwebs we would take pains to explain to folks the differences in releases when suggesting first forays into a new artist's work. Nowadays, of course, sa...

Why do you assume that?

Given the request, I was focusing on trio stuff that has a direct relation to AliveElectric era Slip.

Naked City is indeed a motherfucker. Just not sure it's the right motherfucker for this situation.
