I prefer to be called the unstoppable or mightily-man-nugget Owen Egerton.
Thank you.

When we hear Van Morrison this needs no comment because this name is in the field of music more than half a century. His fans are numerous and his popularity is remarkable. And in his concerts where we may notice the artist is very popular. Tickets are hard to get and pricy. I do love his style very much and I always try to attend whenever I’ve time but what disturbs is prices. But lately, a friend has recommended me a site where to compare ticket prices for free before booking and I find this an interesting idea because this way one would look for the lowest prices. You may need to use it:

“Is this a game for people who love rock music but never learned to play an instrument or a fun outlet people who know how to play already?”

I’ve heard opinions that go both ways. My old drummer can’t play Rock Band drums because he’s used to the rolls in the real songs that are missing from Rock Band. I haven’t played yet, I’m waiting for Jug Band so I can kick ass on the jug or the washboard.

Don’t forget the new Nine Inch Nails album, Ghosts I-IV. 36 tracks of wordless ambient music reminiscent of The Fragile, all for $5. Free 9-song preview, streams, and more costly deluxe packages for the meatspace are all available as well.

Bret, Sylvi, “i”, and the rest of the band will likely live on in infamy as the first virtual band to ever lose nearly 5000 fans in one song.

You sang very well, good sir, but Sylvi was a beast on bass.

Sounds like “Black” is the new “The..” (e.g. The Strokes, The Hives, The White Stripes, ad nauseum).

I have nothing against old U2, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree and older.

Comment on Movies For The Weekend by Drew

I caught BKR this week, and I found it pretty interesting and funny, although definitely not what I was expecting. It started off a little slow for me, honestly, but it got better as it went along. Afterward, I did think that the idea of the video store being in a neighborhood filled with eccentric characters who wouldn’t realize that the movies were only 20 minutes long and starred people from the neighborhood was a pretty amusing plot device to explain away the repeated attempts at remakes.

The real gem, of course, is seeing Black & Def’s interpretation of well-known movies (Ghostbusters, RoboCop), especially movies which they had never seen (Driving Miss Daisy, 2010, etc.) prior to remaking their own version. There are some really great comic moments in the movie which make it worthwhile to see. I certainly liked it better than Nacho Libre, if that’s any indication of it’s comedic value. This is more “School of Rock” Jack Black than it is the JB of Tenacious D - more mature adult humor and more heart. Mos Def also does a great job as a guy with low expectations, ambitions, and blood pressure trying to deal with a catastrophic event before his boss gets back.

I’d say to go see it.
