retrospectacle

classic rock shelf 1 of 4:

Dude, your classic rock is all out of order and making me stress!

Black Sabbath, Dylan, The Doors, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Big Brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Hendrix, Yardbirds!

Blasphemy! Your system is making no sense!!!! I know, this is some sort of "six degrees of Eric Clapton" sorting you got going on. Right?

Speaking of Daptone Records, I can't believe I forgot about Charles Bradley... awesome! He's been around but just now gaining some momentum.

I just got my weekly newsletter from Costco... they're selling packages to the Super Bowl!!! $10,000 for a pair in the nose bleeds! LMAO! $15,500 for a pair in the 300-400 levels. Delivered, though. So, that's not too bad.

R&B, soul and funk covers a lot of territory. Enough so, that they each might need their own thread.

Soul: stylistics, 70's era Temptations, Delfonics, 70's era Impressions, Isaac Hayes, Bill Withers, King Floyd, Billy Paul, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, The Spinners, Staple Singers, Sly, the Meters, the Chi-lites, the O'Jays, Roberta Flack, Bobby Womack, Solomon Burke, Donny Hathaway

Funk: Ohio Players, Average White Band, Parliament, Graham Central Station, The Gap Band, Wild Cherry, Funkadelic, Betty Davis.

That should get you started.

I wouldn't be surprised if the players union had a hand in this. A "you want to mess with us, then we'll mess with you" kind of thing.

Tim Thomas decided not to join his Bruins teammates at the White House today. Thomas posted the following statement on his Facebook page tonight:

"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.

This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.

This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT"

I gotta give Tim a big WTF on this one. During his speech, President Obama commended Tim's performance during the Stanley Cup playoffs and credited Tim with being the main reason the Bruins won it. What's everyone elses thoughts on this?

Ference gets three games for the hit on McDonagh. I'm hoping McDonagh misses less time than Ference. Any word on the injury?

And it bites 'em in the ass! Good! No. Glorious!

Bruins are dirtbags! Can they go a game without a cheap hit?!? WTF?

Oh, I LMAOed to this little tidbit today...

On Tuesday night, there was a moment between a fan of the Boston Bruins and Thunderbug, the hilariously obnoxious mascot of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Here's a list of bad decisions made by that Bruins fan during that encounter:

• 
  [*:uor82oph]Mouthing off to a giant cartoon.
  [*:uor82oph]Standing up, turning around and pushing over a guy in a mascot costume.
  [*:uor82oph]Trying to make the point that you're a real man by getting in the fake face of a fake lightning bug.
  [*:uor82oph]Turning around and yelling at the crowd while getting kicked out of a sporting event for assaulting a mascot.
  [*:uor82oph]Wearing a t-shirt with a Stanley Cup on it that's apparently made of aluminum foil.
  

Yes, there is video of this glorious episode.

Boston loses to the worst team in the Eastern Conference... hee hee!

Any prolonged pressure from neighboring 12" LPs will eventually warp the long players.

The Seeds

Shadows of Knight

The Standells

Mouse and the Traps

The Count Five

So many more...

LOL, dudes. I know you all think I'm crazy but I think Baltimore will put a hurting on the Pats. Brady will get sacked early and will play the rest of the game with soiled panties. LOL, watch. Yes, I'm drunk but still.

LOL, the refs did everything they could to help the Packers and the Giants still hung in there. Go G-men!

You mean Green Bay? NE is AFC

I'm sorry, did someone already win the Giants/Green Bay game? Damn, I thought it was tomorrow!

i was a big jesus fan as well... but at the same time he doesnt have a position.. he's not the catcher romine is, and we have an all star first baseman already, and you cant waste the DH spot on a 22 year old.

Hypothetically speaking, don't you think if Jesus stayed in pinstripes he would of ended up in right field at some point?

Dave, I like you, man. You got balls! I think you're smoking crack with the Denver pick but I like it. And I'm a Giants fan so... fingers crossed.

I was hoping for Detroit Colorado though, to try and re-spark that awesome rivalry.

That would be sweet but I think they're trying to draw the Canadian audience across the border. I think it's a two hour drive, maybe less, from Toronto to Detroit.

Also I'm seeing the rotation as:

Sabathia

Pineda

Burnett

Kuroda

Garcia

Even though Burnett showed some improvement toward the end of the season, I don't see him making it to spring training in a Yankees uniform. Unless of course no one wants to touch him, which is quite possible.

And being a Yankees fan, I'm still not sure how I feel about giving up Montero. He looked real promising at the big league level. Only time will tell I guess. And we did need pitching bad.

A couple of good stories regarding the Winter Classic came up today.

First, The NHL has all but finalized details to hold next year's Winter Classic between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. It holds 110,00 people and would be the largest crowd ever for an NHL game!!!

And lastly, the police finally caught one of the scumbags who had brutally beaten the Rangers fan (an off-duty cop) after this years Rangers v. Flyers Winter Classic. They should lock this guy up for a while considering his past criminal record.

Just got shipping notification today. What was it Axl said, something about patience?

For all you tebow lovers/haters, LYFAO to this...www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/video/tebowie-11212/13 78838

There's a thread somewhere of someone wanting this. You might want to do a search.

Has anyone ever dabbled in putting doors on an expedit? The only place in my apartment where my expedit fits is in some sunlight and i'd like to add some doors to it so I can reduce the spine fading on my lps. I've seen those expedit doors for each cube at IKEA but it would be nice to find a less expensive cost. Anyone have any ideas?

You might be interested in this hack. It looks awesome and maybe you can figure a way to do this yourself...
