 Which is great because I now have 75 silkscreened posters that will need to be blacked out.

In support of the new albums, [Robert] Pollard says he�??s agreed to play at least two concerts. He abandoned the stage in late 2006, canceling the last three shows of a tour and announcing the end of his gigging days. But "Uncle Bob" is not one for retirement.
 
 �??I�??m off for five or six months and I�??m like, �??Damn, I just finished these two records and they rock, I want to hear how they translate to the stage,�??�?� he says.
 
 The shows, one at Southgate House in Cincinnati and the other at Metro in Chicago, are tentatively scheduled for late November/early December. Pollard plans on playing New York shortly after.

I'm still pissed Bob never rescheduled that canceled Baltimore show last year.

How is QOTSA opening up for a shitty raprock band halfway across the country worthy of it's own topic? I suppose if the slant of the topic is QOTSA need to have more discerning taste. [/b]

Whoa Nelly, was there urine in the oatmeal this morning?  What's got you so riled up?  Shitty raprock?  Shitty raprock is what happened AFTER RATM, imitation may be a form of flattery but it's just as likely to be simply shitty.  They may be faulted for inspiring a generation of also rans and horrible imitations but to call RATM shitty raprock is way too simplistic and I believe a little beneath you.  RATM may not be everyone's cup of tea, but even as a naysayer there has to be part of you that acknowledges they're animated, bombastic, and extremely technically proficient with a semi-inspiring message to those inclined to be inspired.  Now they developed somewhat of a knucklehead following but don't hold the band entirely responsible for that.  Anyway whoa nelly moment has ended.

Lucinda Williams at Ram's Head Live on Sunday July 29.  9:30 club date forthcoming?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Highly doubtful, given she is playing Wolftrap the following night.
 
 Actually, what Joe said.

Co-sign.  I got a killer ass headache (don't feel like typing) & I had a hunch you'd come to the rescue.

Tom Morello, creative, yes.  More talented than anyone else in the last 15 years?  No.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

Tom Morello is like a modern-day version of the Emperor's New Clothes. Sans his pedal rig, he's an average guitar player.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I heard one of his solo songs, and man was it bad.

Josh Homme, Jack White, AND Omar Rodriguez-Lopez?
 
 No way.

I'm a lot of things, a frat boy most def is not one of them.  I'm a HUGE Queens fan, but Josh Homme??? Nah.  At The Drive-In/Mars Volta are weel & good plus were/are great bands, but Omar Rodriguez-Lopez?  Mmmm ... fuck no.  Jack White, however, would make me at least reconsider my statement . . .
 
 But don't take my opinion for it.  Jimmy Page agrees with me.  Wanna argue with him?  Thought not . . .
