Chickenfoot Goes GOLD! Oct 7 2009 Did we mention how excited we are that, thanks to you, the album has been certified GOLD? Yes, the tour is over, but what better way to wrap it up than a special presentation to Joe, Chad, Mike and Sammy of their brand new GOLD records? Here's a shot of the guys being presented their records. Wondering what's next? For the immediate future, Chad will be getting together with RHCP, Sammy and Mike are heading to Cabo and Joe has a live DVD coming in the new year. But don't worry, we still have more exciting CHICKENFOOT news coming soon! http://www.chickenfoot.us/news/album-certified-gold

forget to make your picks this week? He's out of town until tomorrow...I bet he did. As I told Rick yesterday I tried to make my picks two weeks in advance but it wouldn't let me and then I forgot about when I was out of town and guess I was hoping that someone could make them for me. I guess now I have no reason to pick the rest of the season. Dude... you missed an entire week, and you're STILL only 3 picks behind me. Hell, one really good week, and you're right back in this thang! Keep pickin' Wes!

I've got very little westcoast/lite AOR in my collection, but a few that I would recommend you check out are: Mr. Mister - Welcome to the Real World Kurt Howell - S/T Benjamin Orr - The Lace Quarterback - Trampled Under Foot Richard Marx - S/T & Repeat Offender

Southland has been canceled by NBC before any of the second season has even aired. http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/10/08/south...-canceled/29999

Sunday, October 11th 10 pm on Showtime When a Californication casting call went out for an '80s idol to play a twisted, misogynistic, drug-addled version of himself (and a new client for Evan Handler's Charlie), everyone from Richard Grieco to Ian Ziering showed up. But Rick Springfield won the four-episode arc that starts tonight, thanks to all-in readings of depraved lines detailing how he'd orally pleasured a Tarzana housewife who'd paid $1,000 for a day with him. ''Challenges are what you get into acting for,'' he says. ''My favorite part before this was when I played a psychotic murderer and rapist in [the 1990 TV movie] Dead Reckoning. And it was the best reviews I ever got.'' He's tight-lipped about his alter ego, but reveals that ''Rick'' likes group sex and will butt heads with David Duchovny's Hank. We're doing the math...and setting our DVRs. —Mandi Bierly http://www.ew.com/ew/tv/tonights_best_tv/0...0091008-TV-Show Also: http://www.hollyscoop.com/tv/californicati...ation_1681.aspx

Have not missed a single episode of this "killer" series. Season 4 is currently airing on Showtime, and it looks like John Lithgow's "Trinity Killer" is going to provide the foil for everyone's favorite serial killer. *For those of you who haven't seen it yet, Dexter's interaction with Miguel Prada (Jimmy Smits) in season three is stellar.

Been listening to this one the past coupla days... GREAT CD. For me, the Goran Edman tunes are the standouts; especially "Mysterious". What an excellent tune!

Man arrested in ESPN reporter nude video case By RAQUEL MARIA DILLON, Associated Press Writer Raquel Maria Dillon, Associated Press Writer – Sat Oct 3, 4:00 am ET LOS ANGELES – A Chicago-area man arrested at O'Hare airport who is accused of taping surreptitious nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was due to appear in federal court late Saturday morning, authorities said. Michael David Barrett was arrested Friday night as he arrived on a flight from Buffalo, N.Y., the FBI said. He faces federal charges of interstate stalking for taking the videos, trying to sell them to celebrity Web site TMZ and posting the videos online, the FBI said in a statement. Several TV networks and newspapers aired brief clips or printed screen grabs from the videos in July. Andrews thanked FBI agents and federal prosecutors for their work on the arrest and said she hoped the case will eventually help others who have been similarly victimized. "For my part, I will make every effort to strengthen the laws on a State and Federal level to better protect victims of criminal stalking," she said in a statement early Saturday. The charges against Barrett were filed in Los Angeles, where TMZ is based and where Andrews first became aware of the videos. She is identified in the federal complaint as E.A. Andrews' attorney, Marshall Grossman, said he called her Friday night with news of the arrest. She was greatly relieved, he said. "I think she's probably sleeping more soundly tonight than she has since these videos surfaced," Grossman said. FBI agents said seven of the eight videos posted online were taken through a modified door peephole while the 31-year-old Andrews was alone and undressed in hotel rooms in Nashville, Tenn., in September 2008. FBI agents said they believe Barrett called many hotels to find out where Andrews was staying and requested a hotel room next to hers. Investigators said the eighth video was likely taken at another hotel, which Andrews couldn't identify. Agents said Barrett, 48, also made reservations at a Milwaukee hotel where she stayed in July 2008. They found her door's peephole similarly rigged, but he didn't check in at that hotel and the furniture in the room did not match furniture seen on the eighth video. Barrett tried to sell the videos to TMZ, but an employee there informed Andrews' attorneys, according to the complaint. FBI agents matched information in the e-mail to Barrett, and also examined telephone records and credit card charges from Barrett's Nashville hotel stay. Agents also concluded that the videos of Andrews could have been taken with a cell phone camera. Barrett sought to place Andrews under surveillance to harass and intimidate her, and to cause substantial emotional distress, the federal complaint said. He faces up to five years in federal prison if convicted. A message left at a phone listing for a Michael D. Barrett in Westmont, Ill., wasn't immediately returned Friday night. Andrews has covered hockey, college football, college basketball and Major League Baseball for the network since 2004, often as a sideline reporter during games. A former dance team member at the University of Florida, Andrews was named "sexiest sportscaster" by Playboy magazine in both 2008 and 2009. She has been referred to as "Erin Pageviews" because of the traffic that video clips and photos of her generate, and Playboy magazine named her "sexiest sportscaster" in both 2008 and 2009. "This is clearly welcome news," ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said of the arrest. "Our thoughts and support continue to be with Erin, who has demonstrated tremendous strength and determination." The federal complaint said Andrews felt ashamed and embarrassed and has had trouble sleeping and breathing because of the videos. She has also been worried that more secretly taped footage will surface, the complaint said. Grossman said by telephone Friday night that the videos appeared to have been taped by a serial stalker who followed Andrews from city to city. "He wasn't an accidental tourist," he said. "He had her in his sights." Grossman has said Andrews plans to file civil lawsuits against the person who shot the video footage and anyone who publishes the material. He said in a statement Saturday morning that Andrews has worked side by side with law enforcement and a private investigative firm to reconstruct events. "Erin deserves significant credit for the progress made in solving this case," Grossman said. Andrews, in an appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" last month, said she thought her career was over once the nude footage of her began circulating on the Internet. "I kept screaming: 'I'm done. My career is over. I'm done. Get it off. Get it off the Internet,'" she said as she remembered talking to her father. "They thought I was physically injured, (that's) how bad I was screaming." Andrews returned to the air Sept. 3 as the sideline reporter for ESPN's broadcast of South Carolina at North Carolina State. She is scheduled to work the Auburn-Tennessee game Saturday night in Knoxville, Tenn.

Did ya catch the Seth MacFarlane cameo? http://io9.com/5262209/abcs-first-vision-f...seth-macfarlane

The first episode hasn't aired yet, and they already have an order for a full second season. Unless it just bombs horribly and FOX decides to burn the episodes off on FX or something you're almost cartainly guaranteed two seasons worth of shenanigans...

Got hooked on this one via the promos for the new season of "House"... damn what a f'n groove this song has when it kicks in! "some day we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid"

They do, They are called 'Remasters'. Lots of bands release them either singularly or in box sets, on little 5" shiny discs called CD's These Beatles CD's are different, however. "Most" digital remasters are s**t... I won't even sugar-coat it. Mastering engineers now-a-days master CD's for the iPod era and boost levels to ungawdly heights making the music almost unlistenable. These Beatles CD's were taken DIRECTLY from the original master tape reels, and are said to have not been touched as far as compression, EQ boost, etc. I have yet to hear, but from what I'm told they're as close to the original U.K. LP's as you'll hear on a digital format. An almost perfect flat-transfer. I wish I could explain it better... Hmm... I read in last week's Beatles issue of Entertainment Weekly that compression was used on the remasters. Did a little online searching, and it seems that it was used, but maybe not over used. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on them after you give 'em a good listen.

Ask him for some nudie pics of his wife...

Favorite new single "Overcome"; love Tremonti's work! Most looking forward to "Sonic Boom"... I like the Kiss single too, BUT, as was noted on the other thread, the verses sound better than the chorus on that song, which is kinda screwed up. Hopefully the rest of the album won't be like that. Stopped listening to the Bon Jovi tune half way through...I'm sure the wife will pick the new one up, but they've lost me...

This is one of my favorite releases of 2009. Is it just me, or does "Apologize" have a Tesla feel to it? Chad's vox definitely have a Jeff Keith feel to them on this song IMO.

Yep, right as the clock hits 1:30 on track 6 I get the little split second blip...

I've bought from him, sold to him, and traded with him before and never had a glitch. I hate to hear that you're having issues, hopefully it'll work out for ya. With that said, normally, the words Austria, and eBay in the same sentence scare the hell outta me.
