it was only a matter of time before joniQAcont showed his true colors

Man I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to explain that. Your own personal connection and background was particularly helpful and interesting. I understand some of that. I would less than honest if I didn’t admit that I don’t understand some of the emboldened part. That’s alright. I don’t h...

Cole, unlurking again, to provide a slightly different, albeit personal perspective. Growing up in NE Philly, there were basically two religions in my world, those who were jewish and those who were not... I didn't really understand the difference between Catholics and Protestants (not sure I do now...

Or better yet, consider Montgomery County, home to the Main Line suburbs just outside Philadelphia. In 2016, Montgomery gave Clinton a net of over 93,000 votes over Trump. But as of this Friday morning, the county’s vote stood to give Biden at least 130,000 over Trump. ^^^ from 538.com That's my co...

just coming out from my "lurker" status in this thread to share a brief story: Homecoming, 2015 (if I recall correctly, whatever was the "I Blame Clams" t-shirt year) Hanging out waiting for the show to begin, taking with/meeting a bunch people around me, probably 5-7 people deep at the 4-Watt, cent...

Two quick questions:
1. Same link/league as last year (looks like the draft is schedule but the rankings from last year are still active)
2. Will be know the draft order before 7:15 EST?

Thanks,

I have used the last 8 months to hone my writing skills and expand my vocabulary, so count me in. Date/Time work.

Glen Hansard released a 40-song 3-hour "Retrospective" on Spotify, (and also on YouTube) which I have been immersed in.

loving the new album...

here is a great (comedic) review, which could apply to nearly any new album:

I would have been seeing Pearl Jam tonight in Baltimore... sigh...

From north of the Border, I think I can speak as a global citizen and state my sense of frustration and resignation to the 'moderates' of the democratic party for aligning with a candidate that can barely string two sensical thoughts together. Trump will mop the floor with the rag doll. No vision, ...

There are Toronto dates booked. A two night run this time but a larger venue. :D :D :D Odd. Lee’s was a fantastic venue for them and they clearly loved playing there. As per the discussion above, count me in as another who is not pleased with the set list diversity at the moment. It seems like the ...

People have been asking how to support Gary & his family. Gary has asked that contributions be made to Nuci's Space in Patty's memory.

as much fun as it is to argue with Clams, I have to agree with his summary/synopsis/observations. Some additional comments: * Patterson knows how to make an entrance, and was clearly ready for a Philly crowd. I couldn't quite hear/lip-read his comments addressing the crowd when he took the stage, bu...

...I can't believe I forgot to mention Jay's outstanding contributions on keys and guitar.

We are already up to 48 shirts, so I am going to give this about a week and close things down in hopes of a quick turn-around.

Don't wait, and tell a friend.

Holy smokes, phungi. I cannot believe you did all that number crunching. But thanks for doing all that number crunching. The graciousness is no surprise but still appreciated. not only was it fun, but a perfect activity while listening to Night 1... also, while your belief in "graciousness" is appr...

It seems to me that to fully consider the issues you raise, one would want to know at least: What's the aggregate number of Cooley and Hood songs on all DBT albums? What is the percentage of different songs Cooley played on multi night stands over the past X years? How do those numbers compare to H...

I agree w/ scotto and zip. Phungi, you raise some interesting questions about "big issues" like what's homecoming about, what's the legitimacy of fan expectations, what's the obligation of an artist to meet fans' expectations, what's the nature and purpose of live performance, etc. But on the speci...

Based on the popularity of the "Hood/Cooley 2020" t-shirts, and the number of people who missed out, we are doing a ONE-TIME RE-PRINT. We need to get to about 2-dozen shirts for the costs to work out and generate profit for Nuci's Space. So, this is the first part of a 2-step process. 1) Complete th...
