  1. Ice, Ice Baby may not be a cover - but its pretty close to Queen's hit - so I would nominate this for the worst pseudo cover of all time

    l take that back. How about anything by William Shatner :lol: e.g. Lucky in the Sky with Diamonds http://www.pathcom.com/~boby/lsd.htm This is the worst music I have ever heard!

    His rendition of Mr Tambourine Man is almost as awful:

  2. The NY Times just publishes a review. Here's an excerpt and the link to the article:

    The iPod Photo, as it's called, looks and feels exactly like the existing iPod (it's one millimeter thicker). There's the famous white click wheel, there's the shiny chrome back panel, there are your fingerprints on it. But its two-inch screen is now in bright, crisp color.

    The color screen is infinitely superior to the old black-and-white one, thanks in part to its new, sharper typeface. It makes a world of difference to built-in iPod programs like the calendar and the arcade games. It also shows the album's cover artwork when a song is playing.

    But the real purpose of this screen is, of course, to display your digital pictures, which the iPod Photo automatically copies from your Mac or PC.

  3. BOSTON WINS SERIES, 4-0

    Red Sox End Series Drought With Sweep

    By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Published: October 27, 2004

    ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox -- yes, the Boston Red Sox! -- are World Series champions at long, long last. No more curse and no doubt about it.

    Ridiculed and reviled through decades of defeat, the Red Sox didn't just beat the St. Louis Cardinals, owners of the best record in baseball, they swept them for their first crown since 1918.

  4. I know him and Pablo and they are standup guys. I think they started their forum in reaction to what they saw at ZP and wanted to improve upon... Anyway, I dont get involved in the politics of these forums, so I really dont have a clue...

    And...welcome to Beatking

  5. Election Scorecard

    Analysis Oct. 26, noon ET: Trouble for the president. He's trending down in the Reuters/Zogby tracking polls in Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The map appears to be firming up: Nevada, New Mexico, and Iowa to Bush; Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania to Kerry. The back-breaker is Florida, where Bush has won only two of the last seven polls. One (Gallup) is clearly out of whack. If the other (Zogby tracking) drops again tonight without countervailing evidence, Bush will be out 27 electoral votes, needing Ohio and Wisconsin just to tie.

  6. Nashville's Lower Broad:

    The Street That Music Made

    Bill Rouda - Photographer © 2004

    Pages: 144 with 90 duotone photographs

    ISBN: 1-58834-094-5

    Like the Lower East Side of Manhattan was to punk rock and Haight & Ashbury in San Francisco was to 1960's psychedelia, the Lower Broad area of Nashville was a hothouse for Country sound. The Lower Broadway area of Nashville was and continues to be the proving ground for many of country music's greatest. From Hank Williams Sr. to Willie Nelson to BR5-49, the Lower Broad holds the stories of country music in its aging landscape. Part scrapbook, part bar tour, Nashville's Lower Broad: The Street That Music Made is a visual history capturing 90 gritty and revealing duotone photographs of the people and places that made Nashville's Lower Broadway the legendary country music birthplace and proving ground that continues to thrive today. With a foreword by Lucinda Williams and an introduction by music journalist David Eason, the photography of Bill Rouda brings to life the late nights, the cheap drinks, the isolated evenings where music, thoughts, and the company of strangers collide. Nashville's Lower Broad is a story longing to be told and Bill Rouda's photography does just that.
