I was not aware that the Politics section is gone (thank you!). When did that happen?

I rarely listened to the original, edited release, but so far I am really enjoying this one! Superb playing, especially by Miles. I had no idea Airto played flute with Miles, which is a nice surprise. Love the cover, too! Wish I could get this on LP size packaging.

The reason it hasn't come out to date is that it's Neil's least favorite record. I like it, though it's a mess. It's interesting as much as a psychodrama as for the music. Neil's doing too much drugs, he fires his friend Danny Whitten on the eve of a huge, high-profile tour, Danny then dies by his own hand, and Neil has to go out and face huge audiences expecting to hear Harvest. The record is an incredible document of those encounters. As for the format in which it's being re-released, it's been noted since the '70's that those 4 records are "of a piece" - call it The Danny Crronicles (I know, I know, Bruce Berry too). It's the journey of a man going through hell, and emerging the other side. As for why now, and in this format, it's for Record Store Day. it's good to support the survival of record stores. Not exactly. He hasn't reissued it yet because of the way it was mastered. The recording and mastering were done straight to the CompuDisk (or what his producer David Briggs called the CompuFuck), so there is no way now for it to be remastered, remixed, anything. He has said that it would sound terrible on CD.

I was until they moved from $7.99/month to $100/year. If I could break that up over months I would do it but I don't really have $100 to blow at once. I'm sure there's a good reason they did it that way, but it's a little frustrating. Exactly my situation. Can't drop $100 like that.

Not much. He developed some loss of hearing during the Weld tour in 1991. Not surprising, since that was Crazy Horse's loudest and most intense music

I thought this thread was about the upcoming Miles bootleg release. My mistake.

I can't watch NBC coverage. Until I can get CBC restored, I'll have to follow it on the internet.

I like the cover. Best one of the series, so far!

these outdoor games are just ridiculous. it may be nostalgic for some of the players in the sense that they may have played outdoors as kids, but the league has been an indoor sport for over 100 years! weather is a factor, and if a playoff spot came down to one game for one of the teams involved, I'd be upset if my team didn't make it because they lost the "outdoor game". The puck moves differently when it's snowing, or what about that game a year or two ago when it in the 40s? They were almost playing on slush! It's such a gimmicky spectacle. And really, how many kids today are learning to play the game outside anymore? At least around here, there are arenas where kids go to learn how to skate and play hockey. And when I was growing up in Canada, I played on some frozen lakes as a kid but the majority of my experience was in the various arenas around town.

No wonder I was so confused when I left Canada for America. Wasn't sure what month/day it was

Sad to hear. One of the best

Really sad. JL was my source for Hat discs.

Very late. The Roughriders of SK (not the Ottawa version), 20.

Interesting

happy furlough birthday

"Droid" is a marketing term used by Verizon for a line of their Android phones. If it's not on Verizon, it's not a "Droid". It's really not that complicated to configure notifications. Sounds like you just need to set the native notification to on but with sound off, and then route all notification control through the other app.

Who is Chris Aloc??

I saw the trio in Ann Arbor in 2000. No problems. It was a great concert. I appreciate the no photography rule. It doesn't distract just the performers.

disgustingly hot and humid here yet again. I truly miss winter.

Those are some of the best parts! Never get enough of that record

I return to Out Of Towners frequently, but I like them all. However I probably have listened to Always Let Me Go the most, followed by Inside Out. Just fantastic improvisations.

They un-retire.

Yep they're great. Got my signed Braxton Iridium box from them.

what exactly is an "insert", anyway? Confused me since the Miles Jack Johnson box, which is full of them.

lucky. Cool road trip and some great live music.
