  2. Nicely said Daniel. I like when people storm on here with an attitude and then realize this is a friendly place and join in. PS - That post got by me, it should have been edited!! LOL ---------------------------------------------------------- OOOh, some of my favorites are on here - Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Barenaked Ladies, Janis Joplin, Indigo Girls. I'm sure there are people in the world that would cringe to hear me say: I really don't like Mariah Carey!
  3. Their new CD, "In Love and Death," will be released on September 28th. I found the info on their message board. You may like hanging out there: www.theused.net
  4. I like the idea. I like your rendition of Imagine, the Songfacts version, even better! We'll have to look into the legal issues as well as the feasability from a technical standpoint. If anyone has any advice please let us know.
  5. The underscore for the show is original music by Brad Chiet.
  6. Seventh Inning Stretch ~ Gin Blossoms Home Run ~ Geoff Moore And The Distance The Greatest ~ Kenny Rogers (Love Is Like A) Baseball Game ~ The Intruders Miami - you seem to have an uncontrolable reaction every time baseball is mentioned!
  7. I believe their only single to crack the Top-40 is "Don't Lose That Feeling" in 1982. Could that be it?
  8. Here are the lyrics to Real Life: [Chorus:] Mmm bop it's real life Mmm bop it's just real life Mmm bop it's real life Mmm bop it's just real life Stop me if you've heard this It's the one about the King Who's married to the Princess That brings good use to wear his ring She's tired and she's lonely Cause she's sittin' there at home He's out there with his buddies And you know what they are doin' [Chorus] Stop me if you've heard this Yeah the one about the boy That's wasting all his money Buying nasty little toys He thinks the girlies love it But this ain't no fairytale They just want what's in his wallet Don't pass go just go to jail [Chorus] You're never gonna change a thing So just stop flappin' You're never gonna do with what you cannot see Mmm bop, shake it baby Mmm bop, aww go on Mmm bop, oh baby now now now Now you don't wanna hear this Cause it's all about yourself You're single and you're twenty And you think you're on the shelf Your life fits with a mad cap like a dog without a bone You're half way to a breakdown Cause your bodywear hasn't formed Awww bop [Chorus x2] You're never gonna change a thing So just stop flappin' You're never gonna do with what you cannot see Your twenty twenty vision will not stop it happenin' The best you can do is to duck and avoid All the flack and just and sing it with me bop [Chorus] Stop me if you've heard this (Mmm bop it's real life) Yeah the song about your self (Mmm bop it's just real life) Stop me if you've heard this (Mmm bop it's real life) Cause you think your off the shelf (Mmm bop it's just real life) Stop me if you've heard this (Mmm bop it's real life) Cause you think you're off the shelf --------------------------------------- Is this what you are looking for?
  9. I thought this was really interesting.... The quiet life of a legendary guitarist ORANGE PARK, Florida (AP) -- The music is still in his fingers. Place a guitar in the hands of legendary Hank "Sugarfoot" Garland and he's quickly plucking strings, playing along with a black and white television image of himself from four decades ago on "Hometown U.S.A." Ask him about the mythic figures he's worked with in Nashville, and he'll pause and smile -- almost as if to give his brain time to rewind -- before answering. Elvis Presley? "He was real nice," Garland said. Four decades after an auto accident almost killed him and ended his brilliant music career, Garland is fighting ill health, trying to pry royalties out of former record companies and talking with Hollywood about a movie based on his life. Time was, Garland was the talk of Nashville, known for musical riffs that could take a recording from humdrum to dazzling, as he did on Elvis hits like "Little Sister" and "Big Hunk of Love." He also pioneered playing jazz in the country music capital. "He is heralded as a quintessential Nashville studio guitarist," noted musician Wolf Marshall said via email. In addition to Elvis, Marshall said, Garland contributed to the music of the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline and many others; was at the forefront of the rock 'n' roll movement; enjoyed a prestigious career as a country virtuoso, pioneering the electric guitar at the Grand Ole Opry; and inspired jazz instrumentalists such as George Benson. Garland's star burned out following the September 1961 accident, which along with a series of 100 shock treatments administered at a Nashville hospital left him a shadow of his former self. But what a career he had. Garland proudly displays the ukulele that Elvis gave him after the King played it in the movie "Blue Hawaii." Garland also participated in Elvis' Jailhouse Rock concert in Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis introduced Garland as "one of the finest guitar players anywhere in the country," said his younger brother, Billy Garland. Garland worked with Elvis from 1957 to 1961, and was playing on the soundtrack for the movie "Follow That Dream" when his 1959 Chevy Nomad station wagon crashed near Springfield, Tennessee, throwing Garland from the car and leaving him in a coma for months. Billy Garland claims it was no accident, but an attempted hit by someone in the Nashville record scene. He has photos showing bullet holes in the car. He doesn't know who ordered his brother's shock treatments, but they left him with little short-term memory. "You don't take a man's brains away from him," Billy Garland said. A hospital report contains the notation: "He has no memory now. He's retarded." Hank Garland had to relearn everything from walking to talking to playing the guitar. He walks with a cane and has other health problems, his brother said. For the past four decades, Garland, now 73, has lived a quiet existence. A trunk in Billy Garland's home shows the depth and breadth of Hank's meteoric career. His detailed session logbook reads like a "Who's Who" of the stars of country music -- Brenda Lee, Web Pierce, Bobby Helms, Kitty Wells, Johnny Horton, Mel Tilis, Ray Price, Marty Robbins, Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, Hank Snow, Porter Wagner, Boots Randolph, Conway Twitty, Hank Williams ... The walls of the home where Garland lives are covered with pictures of him with Nashville's top stars. One shows him standing beside Patsy Cline as she sings into a microphone. He played on her classics, including "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces." "I only remember her vaguely," Garland said. Another photo shows Garland with the Everly Brothers. Garland was featured on the recordings of "Bye Bye Love" and "Wake up Little Susie" in 1957. Another shows Roy Orbison and Hank, who worked with him on the hits "Pretty Woman" and "Only the Lonely." A native of Cowpens, South Carolina, Garland began playing guitar at age 6 and radio shows at age 12. He was discovered at a Spartanburg, South Carolina, music store at 14, where he went to buy a guitar string. Paul Howard, leader of the Arkansas Cotton Pickers, heard Hank's playing and was impressed. He took Garland with him to Nashville, but child labor laws soon put his professional playing days on hold until he was 16. When returned, he set the country music capital on fire. He had his first million-selling hit at age 19, with "Sugar Foot Rag," a legendary country tune. In 1954, along with his close friend, Billy Byrd, Garland invented a short scale neck guitar for Gibson Guitars. In honor of the two, the guitar was known as the "Byrdland." In 1960, Garland recorded what he claims was the first jazz album ever done in Nashville, "Jazz Winds from a New Direction." Like many artists of the '50s and '60s, Garland receives no royalties from any of the record companies still selling his works. Attempts by his family to collect what they believe is due to him have been unsuccessful. Garland has filed a federal lawsuit over authorship of the 1957 Christmas classic "Jingle Bell Rock" in federal court in Jacksonville seeking royalties from the record. Bobby Helms, before his death in 1997, claimed that he and Garland wrote the song but never got credit or royalties because they were under contract as artists and not writers. Warner/Chappell music company has filed a motion to dismiss the suit claiming that Garland's claims are barred by the statute of limitations. And for the second time since he quit playing, the family is reviewing a movie script based on Hank's life. It's called "Crazy," but so far there are no firm deals to make it. A previous movie deal starring Jerry Reed as Hank fell through. "He was born with talent," said Garland's brother Billy. "A God-given talent." ------------------------------------------------------- Article Source: www.cnn.com - there's a couple of good photos in the article.
  10. The only place we have found it is in Borders Books and Music. Do you have Borders in Wyoming?
  11. I'm not sure why I know this, but I am fairly certain that legally the contents of the suitcase belong to the person who purchased it. Do we have any lawyers that know for certain?
  12. They're not numbered, they're listed by categories. We're the first one under the music heading.
  13. Flea Market Suitcase Yields Beatles Trove Some believe bag may have belonged to Mal Evans LONDON, England (AP) -- All you need is luck: A vacationer who purchased a suitcase at an Australian flea market found a trove of Beatles memorabilia inside, including photos, concert programs and unreleased recordings, The Times newspaper reported Tuesday. While the materials have yet to be authenticated, some experts believe the collection is the lost "Mal Evans archive," originally belonging to the Beatles' roadie and confidant. Evans was killed by police in Los Angeles in 1976 after he had brandished a fake gun. His belongings were lost during the police investigation. Fraser Claughton, 41, from Tinkerton, England, bought the suitcase in a small town outside of Melbourne for about $36. "It's like finding the end of the rainbow in Australia," The Times quoted Claughton as saying. "I spotted one tatty old suitcase, which frankly I wouldn't have given house room, but when I picked it up there was something in it." A 4 1/2 hour reel-to-reel tape recording includes John Lennon and Paul McCartney experimenting with previously unrecorded tracks, plus new versions of "We Can Work It Out" and "Cry Baby Cry." The Times put an extract from another of the newly discovered recordings, "I'm in Love," on its Web site, www.timesonline.co.uk The Lennon-McCartney song was never released by The Beatles but was released by another Liverpool band, The Fourmost. The tapes, labeled "Abbey Road ... not for release," will be evaluated by the Beatles' record label, Apple, and examined by experts to determine their origin and authenticity. A spokeswoman for Christie's said while the auction house has had no contact with the collection as of yet, there is "Beatles memorabilia in every pop memorabilia sale -- it's very popular." In 1998, a notebook compiled by Evans, containing draft lyrics for "Hey Jude" and "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," sold for $185,000 at a London auction. A year earlier, McCartney obtained an injunction to prevent Evans' widow from selling a scrap of paper with the original lyrics to "With a Little Help From My Friends."

  15. That's tough, your description is very vague! Do you still remember the lyrics? Even a snippet would help.
  16. Our first creative writing piece inspired by the boards! Don't worry, he'll be back.
  17. Yeah! Glad we got it! That's a very sweet offer but I am happy to help. How about if you pass it along - help someone else out if you know or can find the answer to their question.
  18. I found a Jack Black interview that had some interesting insight: Q: In 'School of Rock,' on the blackboard, you list the top bands in each genre of rock. Did you have input in that and do you agree with the rankings that you made? A: I don't think they're rankings. It was Rich's idea to get the big chalkboard and he put down a bunch of categories and subcategories of rock - the rock family tree history. He said to the whole cast and crew, and that's over 100 people, anybody who has input, or an opinion even, come up and write one band on the board. So everybody kind of put the things they wanted and then I came in with veto power and erased a couple of things. ------------------------------- I found some industrious people that figured it out here: Frank's Reel Reviews - keep scrolling down, there's more info the farther you go. ------------------------------- I also learned a cool trick...supposedly if you have the DVD you can put it into your PC's CD-ROM and there should be a link that says "Chalkboard" that will show you the diagram.

    21 Grams

    You're absolutely right, it is 3 perspectives. I was only considering Jack (Del Toro) and Cristina (Watts), I have a very bad memory! LOL I interpret Cristina's intentions a little differently, I think she saw revenge as a tangible way to find closure when what she truly wanted was an end to her grief. It seemed like one of those situations where extreme emotion (pain in this case) makes someone act in a way they wouldn't normally.

    21 Grams

    I agree Scott, this is a great movie. It's heart-wrenching but I think the directing and acting are both excellent. I loved the plot. Without giving anything away, I'll just say that I found it fascinating to see one event, and the effects on the people involved, from two very different perspectives.
  21. I found out that the song playing while Buffalo Bill is performing in front of his camcorder is "Goodbye Horses" by Q. Lazzarus. I'm having trouble remembering the specific scenes. Is that the one you're referring to, or are they two different scenes?
  22. Here are some older threads on this topic you may be interested in: What do you think about Kurt Cobain Kurt Cobain
  23. That was funny - we confused each other! I thought you meant "Everything to Everyone" is a movie. Maybe I was imagining a 'scene' from my life when I heard the song. Thanks for the effort.
  24. Hmm, thanks MindCrime. That can't be where I heard it b/c I 've never seen that movie. I'm probably imagining things. Thanks for looking!
