The 31st Annual Dallas International Guitar Festival and MusicFest was awesome, as usual. We saw some new things this year, like Trillium’s new tube guitar amps. The design and cabinetry caught my eye, and their great tone caught my ears, so I stopped to chat. Scott told me this is Trillium’s [...]
I finally got all the way through this double DVD set from Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. This massive one day concert took place in Chicago last July, which is the second get together of these guitar legends. This follows slowhand’s first guitar festival, which stretched over a three day weekend [...]

The rapidly falling temperatures mean a lot more sitting around the tube. Whether it be your favorite Christmas special, a season finale, or just an excuse not to venture outside, Winter is the perfect time to get reacquainted with that most dangerous of friends: the television. And what would good television be without good music? Memorable TV series are often inseparable from their equally memorable theme songs. So in honor of frostbitten couch potatoes everywhere, I proudly present my top te

The rest of the stories from this morning are linked below: Karen Guregian and John Tomase team up to report that former Patriot Rosevelt Colvin was in the house yesterday and could re-sign with the team as early as today.

From Former Siemens Employee: "Re: CEO. Healthcare CEO abruptly resigned last Friday AM. Announced at RSNA yesterday." Link. Jim Reid-Anderson lasted only seven months to the day, having replaced Erich Reinhardt, who resigned April 30 after new compliance issues broadened the apparent scope of the company’s multi-billion dollar bribery problems. From The PACS Designer: "Re: open source for virtualization. The virtualization space has been supported by proprietary software from mainly IBM and
The Winter Meetings begin next Monday and that can mean only one thing — wall-to-wall coverage of everything Scott Boras says, does and eats. To ease our way into a week spent with baseball's most controversial man, we'll be featuring a Boras pic each day on C-a-C. For our second venture, he's a pic of Mr. Boras escorting Johnny Damon to Yankee Stadium for the first time — well, as a Bomber at least. If only those 'burns knew that their time left on this Earth was very limited. So have at it
“In Ear Park“, the latest album from the brilliant duo of Department of Eagles, consisting of Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and old college pal Fred Nicolaus, just got released a few weeks ago and I’m already feeling that it’s some of the best new music I’ve listened in months. Now DoE is ready to set out on a promotional tour across a few dates in Europe and then, right after the new year, in the US, too. Check out the tour dates, as well as two songs from the band’s latest In Ear Park, righ
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride with Lance Armstrong? The seven time TDF champ is currently on the island Tenerife, surfing with team Astana as part of their winter training camp. But just a few short weeks ago Armstrong was still riding and training in the Texas Hill Country. Ted Arnold of Pez Cycling News had a chance to ride shotgun next to Armstrong for a 5 hour training ride. Here's part of the report Arnold filed for Pez Cycling: "Wednesday, 19 November • 6:45 AM
by indieWIRE (December 1, 2008) EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a daily December series that will feature new or previously published interviews and profiles of some of the year's best filmmakers, writers, actors and actresses. Lance Hammer's "Ballast" follows the effects of one man's suicide on three people in a rural Mississippi Delta township: Marlee, a single mother; her son James, who is having drug and violence issues; and Lawrence, a man who Marlee shares property with. indieWIRE as
Generation X and Y are far more likely to embrace “body art” than their older counterparts. Whereas only 15% of the general population has a tattoo, according to Pew Research Center 36% of those between the ages of 18 and 25 have at least one tattoo. 40% of those between 26 and 40 years old have at least one tattoo. But get this… a Career Builder survey reports that 42% of managers said their opinion of someone would be lowered by visible body art. 76% of all respondents say that visible ta
A week from today, the baseball world - currently parked in neutral - will convene at the Bellagio Hotel for the Winter Meetings. We'll be counting it down with a "fun fact'' per day about Las Vegas. I know, you're thrilled -- well, it's something to do until CC finds a way to stay in California or surrenders to the Yankees' millions. FACT: Bugsy Siegel's famous Flamingo, which opened in 1946, was not the first hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. El Rancho Vegas, in 1941, was the first Strip hotel

It's been like a slow moving boat paddling up stream. Pretty soon, it might start getting faster.. Then.. Boom we'll hit a waterfall. Again, nothing is going on, even with the entire MLB. Nothing is getting done. Why? Money maybe? Arbitration is one thing. The deadline is today.. Arb is important because if a player is offered it, and they decline, the team's get draft picks provided they are a Type A or Type B free agent. The risky part is if a team offers arbitration, but they don't wan
Your assignment for today, should you choose to accept it, is to check out the gardeners at Gardening Gone Wild! Barbara W. Ellis, Saxon Holt, Nancy Ondra, Steve Silk and Fran Sorin hosted a wonderful meme this past year entitled Garden Bloggers' Design Workshop. They invited people to post on a variety of monthly gardening topics including Water, Whimsy, Trellises, Decks and Porches, Stone, Color, Paths and Walkways, Containers. I was a Johnny-come-lately, but I found that reading through the
For many, ahead lie the best of times and the worst of times. For the past few weeks – as the economy began seriously crumbling, putting families with children on the street while banks received bailouts – I’d been eyeballing our spare room. Larger than most hotel rooms, it’s a mute reminder that fake wood paneling should never have been invented, but man, it’s the warmest room in the house. What we should do, I thought, is put an ad on Craigslist and let some poor devastated couple crash t
This morning, Non Birding Bill and I headed out to do some bee stuff at Mr. Neil's. When we were turning onto the final stretch of road, I noticed a lump in the top of a tree and told NBB, "Sorry, if that's what I think it is, I have to get a photo." Can you guess what it is? It's a raptor...it's a hawk...can't tell? Don't worry, it's hard in that photo. Here it is through the scope: It's a rough-legged hawk. Something about the lump in the distance just said to me, "Hey, I'm a buteo, but I'm
Countdown Day 1 (25 Days to Smugglivus and counting) Who: Joel Sutherland, author of speculative fiction and the first ever author to contact us when we started the blog. So, who better than Joel to kick off Smugglivus? Recent Work: Editor of Fried!Fast Foods, Slow Deaths (reviewed here) and Frozen Blood (to be reviewed later today). We hereby give the floor to Joel and officially kick start the Countdown to Smugglivus! ____________ Joel Sutherland: Smugglivus. The very mention of the fe
Olivo. In anticipation of what I hope will be a news-worthy month, and with the Winter Meetings just a week away, let’s start cleaning house on the smaller-print news items of the past two months. The mystery over whether Miguel Olivo would be classified a Type B free agent (and snare a supplemental first round pick upon his departure) turned out to be a moot point when he and the Royals papered over their differences and mutually agreed on his 2009 option, adding a 2010 option in return
One of my newest blogmigos, Wayne John, has tagged me with the ‘7 Things That You Didn’t Know About Me’ meme. Although I have done this one twice, talking about me is one of my favorite subjects so I can’t resist this one. My favorite cheese comes in a can. Nacho Cheese is liquid cheese food gold. Without Nacho Cheese, nachos are just a bunch of shit stuck on top of chips. With Nacho Cheese, it is a Tex-Mex delicacy of mythic proportion. I believe that the theme song to ‘True Blood’ has surpass
