The People Have Spoken...

And Chris Martin IS a douche bag! I am going to start the list of reasons why (in no order), please continue the list with your comments! Oh yeah, that quote is a Cracked joke, very funny website.

1. He thinks the whole world should be able to vote for the President of the United States.

From Rolling Stone:

"But I think that, really, the fair thing would be, in electing the American president, to let everyone in the world vote, because it affects all of us."

2. Offsets the carbon footprint made during the recording of A Rush of Blood to the Head by planting 10,000 trees in India.

Planting trees to save planet is pointless, say ecologists

3. He hops on the "creative persons" bandwagon of naming his kid after some stupid ass shit, in his case some fruit..

4. Sold out to Apple like another huge D-bag, Bono.

Nice hand moves asshole

KEEP EM' COMING!

Neil Young - Ancient History Up Close

I have gotten some really great things from Demonoid, thank you again Eric. Near the top of the list of great things is this bootleg, its some live recordings, some studio stuff, some demos, all sorts of good shit that span a 30 year period in Neil Young's career. It is mostly soundboard except for a few tracks that are good to okay audience recordings. The highlight for me is Neil, solo acoustic, playing Country Girl off of CSNY - Deja Vu. I hope you all enjoy this.

MMJ XRT Broadcast of 2008-06-20 RCMH

Here is the show, well, part of the show, that XRT played last night. I must admit I feel like we got screwed by XRT a bit. Do not get me wrong, XRT is a great station, but I feel like they should have advertised it as "Part of MMJ's RCMH Performance." Oh well.

I will be ripping this, just give me a day or two to get it posted, breaking it up and turning it into MP3's is a long shitty process.

My Morning Jacket - The Okonokos Project

Keeping in vein of the ongoing My Morning Jacket craze, here is a very special treat. Croweyes1121 over at the MMJ forums put A LOT of hard work into this gem. It is The Okonokos Project, a collection of songs from the available Okonokos releases. From Croweyes1121 description on Demonoid:

"This is a complete re-imagining of the various available Okonokos releases by My Morning Jacket, all in lossless audio. I noticed that all of the different incarnations of the Okonokos album had different track listings and song orders, so I was curious to see if a more complete and accurate release could be achieved using the existing elements. Using the set lists from the two Fillmore concerts (the source for all Okonokos footage), I have re-ordered all tracks into the closest possible representation of the the actual performed song order. Various custom audience cross-fade edits were required to make this project one, seamless experience. Now, for the first time, all tracks from the Okonokos CD release, DVD release, and Acoustic Chorale bonus DVD are together in one place and in the closest approximation of their original order. To this end, order priority has been afforded to night one for songs shared by both performances. Songs unique to one performance or the other were added where they were performed in relation to the shared tracks."

Think of it as an extended Okonokos. This guy really deserves a big applause for this. Here is the tracklisting:

01. Intro (The Party) (4:51)
02. Wordless Chorus (4:08)
03. It Beats 4 U (4:24)
