if you have the 'on demand' feature of digital cable, theres 2 new smithereens items on there. one is a 30min documentary of the 'meet the smithereens' album and one is a sample of a live show from earlier this year. i found both interesting & painful at the same time. the doc. was nice, but really ...

nice mug shot

i liked it when larry called ringo 'george'. proves his 'quality' as a reporter, uh, i mean interviewer, uh i mean a guy with an oversized cranium, uh i mean that guy they found at roswell...

theres some fine rick-o-bass action on the new dinosaur jr. dvd 'live in the middle east'...not exactly sure what model lou is playing, but that checkered binding sure is sexy..

no..its audio of the board tape, which means its all the bands that played that day & does not have the overdubs/'fixing' that the beatles did later on.

just got the shea '65 'in line' version and WOW is all i have to say...no overdubs! find it if you can..

i heard them do 'tomorrow never knows' on the satellite radio the other day..amazing!

i can't stop playing the intro to 'all of a sudden..' on my 360/12...love that band!
