Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Joe!

Alles gute (again!), Niko!

Great show! Basically the same type of set as last fall - the first half is the entirety of The Incident, then a break, and then a second half with various tracks. The Incident sounded alot better to me than when I saw them in Philly. I think they're playing it all better, and I'm also more familiar with it by now. Great performance. Then the second half of the show was: The Start of Something Beautiful Russia on Ice Anesthetize Lazarus Strip the Soul/.3 Buying New Soul Bonnie the Cat The Sound of Muzak Trains The highlight for me was Buying New Soul. Great performance! Was nice to finally hear Lazarus live as well, though the keyboards were buried too far in the mix. All in all a great, energetic performance, good sound, and nice venue. Got to talk with all four of them after the show for a bit, and they seemed to be having a good time and enjoying this tour. My opinion of Gavin Harrison goes up every time I see him live. Go see 'em!

Houston tonight! You going, Buzz??

Happy Birthday Mark! Thanks for all of your wonderful images and everything you bring to this board!

Dude, I've got a long ways to go to catch up to your seeming 4 birthdays a year!

Many thanks! I appreciate all the knowledge I've picked up from folks here, as well as the friendships and just plain fun I've had here over the years. Thanks to Jim for giving us this community! My girlfriend (now fiance ) was able to come down for the week, so that's been a nice b-day gift! Also get to spend some time with my kids. Can't ask for much more!

Hope you had a a Happy Birthday, Flurin! Sorry I'm late to the party, but you're welcome to join mine instead

I think the thing about this is that those folks who wear the Yankees logo in those places aren't necessarily fans though. It's a symbol of America, like McDonalds. They wear it for style, not to show they're a fan of the team or even follow baseball at all. Having feelings of animosity towards them for this reason is basically a huge waste of time.

Need to spin some Jim Pepper here - thanks for the reminder, Flurin!

Astros Baseball Fever - catch it! Now on a 1 game winning steak!!

This. Nope. This: SWEEP! Astros are 0-7. Can you take off your black & orange blinders and believe me that they suck now?

Nyah Nyah!

Mine's here too! All grease and no goose!

This.

I could see T.O. drumming up those rumors, since he's teamless, and not likely to get any further big paychecks. And I could see Dan Snyder falling for it. I hope Shanahan overrules Snyder's thinking, for the Redskins' sake.

1 point game at the half. Go Butler!

Astros down 3-0 in the top of the 5th, versus the Giants. Gonna be a long season, when you are rooting for a team to simply go .500. Enjoy your good teams out there!

Eagles just traded Donovan McNabb to the Redskins for a 2nd round pick! That's not much compensation for trading your starting QB to a division rival. They either think he's not capable of being a decent starter anymore, or the Skins really think Jason Campbell sucks.

Giving a spin to Rez Abbasi's "Things to Come", from 2009. Some nice playing by both Rudresh Mahanthappa and Vijay Iyer on this one.

Interesting interview with Sonny Rollins in today's Detroit Free Press, by Mark Stryker. Continues here

Happy Birthday!

Butler going to the Big Game! Looking like Duke too, unless they fold in the remaining 10 minutes.
