Re: (Next)New Bass Player Official Announcement?

A few things.....I was fucking pissed yesterday when I saw that this thread got locked and things around here rarely get to me like that. It wasn't done by Jonicont or myself and was a well intentioned mistake and won't happen again. Sorry y'all. I'd like to think that some of this is a rude dysfunc...

Re: (Next)New Bass Player Official Announcement?

Aw, c'mon..."depressing" is a rather over-the-top characterization. Just because you're a more well adjusted person than I doesn't mean I'm not entitled to my feelings. Sacto, perhaps i was less than clear about the nature of my issues. I think people should be able to talk about the band...

Re: (Next)New Bass Player Official Announcement?

Re: (Next)New Bass Player Official Announcement?

Lone Wolf said it in 5 words and as usual I'll take a few more. This is the 3DD equivalent of turning to the sports pages and finding nothing but talk about strikes, lockouts, contracts and potential prospects still in jr high. It's not what i come here for and it's depressing as hell. Like the son...

Re: West Coast 2012 dates

Last night I paid over $300 (tix + parking + drinks + babysitting) to see Widespread Panic from the back balcony of the incredibly cavernous Filmore Denver. It was a good show, but I couldn't help but think how awesome it is to be able to see the best touring rock-n-roll band in America up close fo...

Cracker is one of my favorite bands. Easy top 20. A lot of folks when they here me say that don't believe me. Won't make these shows but any big fan on the east coast should come check out their Campout East festival:
