  1. EDDIE VAN HALEN TO AUCTION A PAIR OF 1956 CHEVY CLASSICS AT BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE LOS ANGELES -- January 5, 2009 A pair of Chevrolet classics from the personal collection of rock ‘n’ roll icon Eddie Van Halen will be sold at No Reserve during the 38th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., Jan. 11-18, 2009. The 1956 Chevy 210 (Lot #1259) and 1956 Chevy Nomad (Lot #1259.1) will each be auctioned with matching, one-of-a-kind EVH Brand “Wolfgang” guitars and a pair of red, white, and black EVH striped sneakers. Hailed as “The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions™,” the Scottsdale auction and lifestyle event will feature a diverse mix of the world’s most desirable collector vehicles. SPEED will broadcast nearly 40 hours of live, high-definition coverage of all six auction days. “Rock ‘n’ roll and collector cars go hand in hand,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “And Eddie’s cars, although from the same year, represent the diversity of the collector car hobby. The Nomad is restored to original specifications while the 210 is a custom built street rod with modern performance gear. I expect these cars to enter special collections that salute both rock ‘n’ roll and automobiles.” The maroon 1956 Chevrolet 210 is a Pro Street hot rod built by customizer Jim Van Gordon. The car features a powerful 454 c.i.d. big block Chevy engine that pumps out more than 600 horsepower, making it suitable for the drag strip while still street legal. Additional highlights include a narrowed 9-inch Ford rear end with Detroit Locker, Mark Williams axles, 4.30 gears, 4-link coil-over suspension, disc brakes, and custom wheels and tires. Racing gauges and a dark grey color scheme underline the interior of the 210." Van Halen’s 1956 Chevrolet Nomad station wagon sports a classic “Cashmere Blue” and white paint scheme and was once part of the famed “The Harrah Collection” in Reno, Nev. The car underwent a frame-off restoration and features a 265 c.i.d., 210 horsepower “Power Pack” V8 engine, power steering and power brakes. An upgrade to disc brakes was added for improved stopping and safer driving." "Out of all the cars I have owned over the years, I hung onto the ‘56 Sedan and Nomad because I was closely involved in restoring and building them, so they are very special to me," explained Van Halen. "I almost hate to let them go, but I don’t have the time to drive them. It kills me to see them sit there when someone else could be driving them and have the pleasure and joy of owning these beautiful classic cars.” "Since they are so dear to me, I thought I would make it even more special by having two custom made Wolfgang guitars built to match each car,” Van Halen added. “I hope the new owners enjoy these cars as much as I have and keep the guitars and cars in their families for a long time, because they are all one-of-a-kind.” In 2007, Eddie, president of ELVH INC, partnered with Fender Musical Instrument Corporation to launch EVH Brand guitars, amps and musical products. A limited run of Van Halen FrankensteinTM replica guitars were introduced in addition to the EVH 5150III TM amplifier line and EVH guitar accessories. In January, Eddie will launch an all new Wolfgang guitar. More information on the EVH Brand is available at www.evhgear.com. The Van Halen cars and guitars will be joined by the world’s most desirable collector vehicles and automobilia to be sold at the historic Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction. Lifestyle attractions will also return to Barrett-Jackson in January in the form of luxury vendors, galas and fashion shows. Barrett-Jackson’s trendy night-spot, “The Garage,” will be the site of exclusive gatherings throughout the event.
  2. Well, Rockarma came out in 2007, even if it has a 2008 copyright... & it narrowly missed my Top 5 of 07 AAMOF.... http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/2007best.cgi#mike As for Bombay Black, love the band, and their first two discs were GREAT, but Psycho Magnet sounds like a bunch of leftovers that didn't quite make the cut for those 2 releases.

  6. Looks like TWC and Viacom have kissed and made up. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/articl...R3hjsAD95E5EIG1 TIME WARNER CABLE, VIACOM REACH AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE Networks Will Continue to Be Available On All Time Warner Cable Systems New York, NY - Jan. 1, 2009 — Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) and Viacom (NYSE: VIA and VIA. jointly announced this morning that they have reached an agreement in principle to renew carriage for Viacom’s MTV Networks.

Philippe Dauman, President and CEO of Viacom said, "We’ve been partners with Time Warner Cable for a long time, and we’re happy to be renewing that partnership for the benefit of their customers and our loyal viewers. It’s gratifying that we could reach an agreement that benefits not only our audiences but that is also in the best interest of both of our companies."
  7. I think it all boils down to your personal preference and needs. If you want to use the "I Own It" feature to keep track of your entire collection, (CDs, cassettes, vinyl, 8 track, real to reel, etc...) then I see no problem at all with that. The only thing it really affects is when someone else pulls up your collection; they will have no idea that everything they're viewing is NOT CDs. Same choice for the CD-R question too I suppose. If you wanna include CD-Rs to keep track of all the music you have, then that's a personal choice. I personally wouldn't include CD-Rs, but that's just me... So there ya go... it's all on you...
  8. To my knowledge, neither was ever officially released on CD; although there are obviously booties running around. The Red Novelty Records versions are referred to as boots in every online reference I can find, but seem to be of good quality: http://www.angelfire.com/rock3/glamgeese/quietriot.html http://ultimaterhoads.com/viewtopic.php?p=...847252f8208e20c

  18. While I enjoy the U.S. version, I absolutely love the UK Office. The big payoff involving Tim and Dawn in the Xmas special is one of the most gratifying TV viewing moments ever IMHO.
  19. Nah, it was definitely Bourdain ... I've never seen the other guy's show.. Which one is the fat bald dude? That's the guy I meant!! Andrew Zimmern http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Bizarre_Foods
  20. Waiting for Lost? Sneak Peak at Season Premiere: http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/12/15/waiti...n-premiere/9642
  21. Are you talking about Anthony Bourdain, or Andrew Zimmern, the guy from Bizarre Foods? I've seen about every episode of "No Reservations" and don't remember the cobra incident, while Zimmern eats crap like that on about every episode. From still beating fish hearts, to putrified whale blubber, he'll try anything...
