Did I miss the official announcement somewhere that we were opening up the waiver wire to bid$?
No, you didn't- there wasn't an official announcement. I've had this question in other leagues and I discovered that, if you pull up an unowned player, there's a green box to the right. If you place the cursor over that box, it will tell you if and when waivers will be processed.
For instance, Jason Avant is an unowned player with the highest ADP. To the right is the green "Claim" box. When you put the cursor on top, it says, "claims for this player will be processed in three days". It says other stuff, but that's the main part.

Right in Kendall Square, this place is tucked into the back corner of a little open pavilion, with a parking garage and metered parking all over the place. Great feel when you walk in, with lots of dark wood and brick balancing with a ton of windows that allow natural light to flood the space. There is a bunch of outdoor seating for warmer weather, a ton of table space when you first walk in, and a more private room off the right side of the bar. The bar is horseshoe shaped, with plenty of seating. 12+ beers on tap, with beers to go in growlers and bombers. Food was decent, with a good balance of gastropub fare, as well as some more interesting options mixed in there. The bartender I had was nice enough, but seemed more interested in watching Animal Planet than anything else. There was a party going on in the private seating area, and I was impressed how separated that actually seemed from everything else. It didn't distract a bit. Prices were very reasonable, and it's definitely worth a stop to snag some very unique beers that they don't distribute/bottle.

Tucked in a little corner of Kendal Square, Cambridge Brewing Company has a wonderful location. The inside has high ceilings and exposed brick. It's a bit spacious and open feeling, but it kind of works. Strong hipster vibe going on with the after work crowd, but the Sox game does its best to balance that out. Service was quite good. Attentive, but not overbearing. Selection is decent, maybe 8 offerings... a couple are quite unique. I stick with Arquebus. I made a good choice. The beers are all well crafted, but I just can't pry myself away from their barleywine. Beers are a bit on the high side for a brewpub, but I can't complain about the quality. The food was tasty and fairly-priced. The short-rib poutine was particularly tasty and came in a huge portion. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Stopped in Yesterday after a harbor trip to Georges Island.
We have been several times at this point.
The atmosphere has changed little over time, welcoming and warm. Outside seating was busy on a Saturday afternoon. The Beer quality is exceptional, we had a grissette, Jan had the Great Pumpkin, and we shared the real star of the show a cask ESB dry hopped with Fuggles. That beer was outstanding!! We split crab cake appetizer and, greatly enjoyed the company of Steve the bartender.
Manager stopped by and chatted.
All in all a wonderful time.
Value is great as no item is hyped or priced out of reach.
Highly recommended.

Went on a Friday night, straight from Logan upon arrival to Boston actually. It was very crowded and there was a line to get a table. Got lucky and got a seat at the bar right away. There was some really interesting stuff on tap, including the barrel-aged wild porter and the barrel-aged barleywine. The service at the bar was probably better than the service at the table, the waitress didn't strike me as being terribly knowledgeable or interested in the beer. The atmosphere was okay, it is a pretty large place and it lacked character, but it not at all an unpleasant place to spend time. It also is just a couple blocks from other points of interest in Cambridge, including Lord Hobo.

CBC can easily be overlooked - especially with Lord Hobo and Meadhall in the neighborhood now - but should really be a part of any visit to the Boston area. My wife and I frequently grab dinner at CBC prior to a movie at Kendall Square Cinema.
The atmosphere is more restaurant than bar. The bar is in the center of the space, flanked by the brew tanks, but the restaurant tables dominate throughout the rest of the restaurant. The bar consists of about 15 stools at the bar itself and about another 15 on the periphery. Even on Friday and Saturday nights, it's never really too crazy. In fact, I'd say it's the busiest during the weekday happy hour as a function of the many offices in the surrounding complex.
Service is mostly good, but I've had some misses. Whenever I sit at the bar, the bartenders are always friendly and attentive. You're never left with an empty glass. Once I was sitting in front of the taps when a keg kicked and a little spray hit me - the bartender was very apologetic and comped me a beer. Most of the time, the table service is good but I have had the odd occasion where the server goes MIA.
Selection is excellent. Being a brewpub, all of the beers are brewed on-site and it's a truly rare occasion when there's a guest tap. They have a stable of your standard styles - an amber, a brown, a pale - but they can get very experimental with the rest of the beers. They do some great sours, and their imperial stout is up there with the best. Almost every time I'm in they're pouring something I've never had. While some brewpubs keep going back to the same recipes, they're always trying something new here.
The food is good, not great. They change the menu frequently, which can be a good thing, but I've had occasions where nothing on the menu really piqued my interests. There are some good bar bites if you're looking for a snack and a beer, but this is really a full-service restaurant first and a bar second.
Beers are very reasonably priced, in the $5-$7 range as they're only serving their house brewed beers. When you consider that most of their beers are excellent it's a great value compared to the $7-$11 a glass some of the local beer bars are getting.

My first stop at CBC, I have wanted to check this place out for a few years now. Large brick and wood space inside with lots of people enjoying themselves, some a little too much. Not as many people outside on the patio, altho if the weather was a little nice I would have joined them out there as it looked awesome. Service was pretty good. At times he just wanted to talk to the locals but I didn't have to wait too long for my beers. Quality was pretty high. Legit food ingredients, proper glasses, etc. Selection was pretty good but not amazing. Nothing overly rare or interesting, except the sake beer. but a decent array of beers to choose from. I stopped in for dinner so I decided to go with a margarita pizza which was solid, I finished the whole pizza in no time flat. Prices were on par with everywhere else I had been, maybe a touch high but it is a major city. Overall an awesome little brewpub in the heart of the city. I will definitely return when I am in the city.

Stopped in for dinner while in Boston. Took a while to find the place....sits back from the street and the GPS didn't help. Once there, we were quickly seated and waited on. Fairly busy night with a varied crowd. Service was very good. Beers and food both came at reasonable speed. The food was good, though I felt my portion of the special ravioli for the night was quite small. Nine small, square ravioli for $16? I should have gotten a burger. The beer, including the one-offs available were quite good. I would probably make another visit, though Lord Hobo is just up the street.

Although I've been here a few times over the years, I stopped by for a a couple beers recently and found it hadn't really changed notably, which isn't really a bad thing. Stopping in during a weekday afternoon, the place is a bit sleepy but not vacant. There's a comfortable crowd of couples and loners like me with good music playing and a nice selection of Cambridge brews on tap. I believe they have entertainment some nights and they serve food which I didn't have this trip, so I imagine the atmosphere might be a little more compelling at a different time. But it was fine for hanging out at the medium sized bar, watching some Sports Center updates and chatting intermittently with the staff. The bartender was an attentive young lady who was happy to talk some beer and was helpful. She offered me some half sized portions to allow me to have more variety without pushing my limits for driving home, which I greatly appreciated. There's nothing terribly special about the physical place but there's nothing wrong with it at all. They sell growlers and bombers from a cooler. Bathrooms and all else seem to be quite clean and pleasant. Some folks were having a bite to eat and the grub looked good, and I've eaten here some years ago and don't recall any issues. All and all this place is a nice stop which probably offers some livelier experiences for the evening crowds. The beers were all good from what I was able to enjoy this time through.

Almost skipped over this place, but I'm glad I didn't. On the surface it seemed like another run of the mill chain-type brewery trying to cash in on the beer scene / college scene. And, well, it is that in a sense, but they actually make some good stuff here. Lots of room in here, with a good-sized bar and plenty of tables for dining. It's a generic but comfortable atmosphere, with a slight leaning towards hipsterism, but what do you expect; it's Cambridge.
There was a very nice selection of beers of tap, with a good variety of styles, and it seems that these guys are no strangers to barrel aging and wild fermentation. Definitely not your typical run-of-the-mill glorified homebrew beers here, there is actually some rhyme to their reason. Service was fine, even despite our party of 4 strolling in about 45 mins. before closing time. Prices were reasonable. We didn't sample any of the food.
Cool place overall, and I'd definitely go back if in the area (i.e. never, probably).

My favorite brewpub happens to be my local, I am a big fan of The beer and the staff is friendly and fun. Brewmaster Will Myers has a great barrel cellar and is awesome at producing sours, highly recommend. Food is better than typical pub fare, but the usual suspects are also there.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson said Thursday that his right (throwing) shoulder is feeling good and he expects to be on a regular routine for the start of spring training.
Hanson enjoyed a strong first half of the 2011 season, posting a 10-4 record and 2.44 earned run average. He made only five starts after the All-Star break because of persistent pain in the shoulder. A small tear was found in his right rotator cuff and did not require surgery.
He was 1-3 with an 8.10 ERA after the break. He did not pitch after Aug. 6.
Hanson resumed throwing last month. He said before working out at Turner Field on Thursday that his outlook for the season continues to rise.
"I definitely feel a lot more optimistic now than a couple months ago or even last month," he said.
Hanson said he is throwing on his regular offseason schedule and expects that to continue when Braves pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb. 19.
"I'm on a normal schedule right now and I feel good, so I don't think that will change," he said. "I'll be on a normal schedule.
"My shoulder feels really good. I've been off the mound a couple times, and it feels really good."
The 6-foot-6 Hanson walked into the clubhouse with a thick beard and his hair reaching almost to his shoulders.
"I'm going to cut it all off," he said with a smile. "I don't think they'll let me keep it."
Hanson's hair was the least of his worries when last season ended. There were concerns the shoulder might require surgery.
He has won at least 10 games in each of his three seasons and has a career 32-22 record with a 3.28 ERA. He was on pace for his best season before the shoulder problems.
He said he worked this winter on back exercises designed to help his shoulder.
"I think it's just going to be a constant thing with my back," he said of the new routine. "It's not bothering me now. I'm doing all my exercises they've been having me do, and it seems to help."
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez and pitching coach Roger McDowell also will be closely watching Tim Hudson and Jair Jurrjens when camp opens. Hudson had surgery in November to repair a herniated disk in his back.
Thanks to a troublesome right knee, Jurrjens, like Hanson, spent most of the last two months of the 2011 season on the disabled list. He has been fitted with orthotics to adjust for an undersized joint in his right big toe, which caused his ankle to turn outward and put more stress on the knee.
Jurrjens also plans to wear a brace to give the knee more stability.
The injuries to Hanson and Jurrjens contributed to the Braves' collapse in September. The Braves looked like a lock for the National League wild card before blowing an eight-game lead in September.
General manager Frank Wren said the reports on Hanson and Jurrjens are good.
"Hanson is great," Wren said. "He's feeling great right now and Jurrjens as well. Hanson was almost ready to go, if we had been in playoffs. ... They're just continuing to strengthen and put themselves in as strong a position as possible, but they're ready to go."
Gonzalez has a trio of 2011 rookies — left-hander Mike Minor and right-handers Julio Teheran and Randall Delgado — waiting behind Hudson, Hanson, Jurrjens and Brandon Beachy.
Right-hander Kris Medlen, who started 14 games in 2010 before needing elbow ligament-replacement surgery, returned for two games last season and will be another option for the rotation.
"We're going to stretch him out as much as we can so if something happens and one of the guys can't go, if we choose to he can be a starter," Gonzalez said of Medlen. "He's got that flexibility."
The Braves have ample depth to avoid rushing Hudson's return.
"We'll know more when we see him in spring training and we see how he holds up and if we need to make adjustments on his schedule," Gonzalez said of Hudson.

I bought these pants during a work trip to NYC. They are a pair of heavy gray flannel slacks, that has a blazer to match, but I waited way too long to snatch that up. I had them check other stores, but no store had it in my size. I believe I got the pants for about $29 when they were originally $118 (gotta love those sales racks). The pants were a 34, when I normally wear a 31 or 32. That's fine for me to size up because I normally have issues with getting my quads into Club Monaco pants when I try to wear true to size.
It took me a while to get these to my seamstress, again, been traveling quite frequently for the job and for pleasure on the weekend as of lately. I'm not a huge fan of french cuffs, so when I was taking my "after" pics, I switched up the shirt.
Too warm/hot to wear them now, but they'll be ready to go for next season. And in case you missed it - Club Monaco Fall 2010 Lookbook shot by Garance Dore

It's fairly obvious he's given up. Maybe it proved harder than he thought
Hopefully someday someone will get homebrew running on the ps3.
I really got busy the last couple of months and had my ps3 off all this time, but I'm starting to have more and more time every day so I guess I will be updating soon. I have posted a lot about supporting game developers and good games all together so I guess thats what I'm going to do.
CFW is always welcome and if someday one comes out and I works on current consoles that are being sold I'll go grab one knowing that it can be modified. Meanwhile I'm going back to the beautiful psn and rock my new house with my beloved ps3. Cheers.
Is Geohot's challenge at NASA over? Is he back or is he busy? Looks like he gave a promise and did not kept it...
He really isn't working on the PS3 anymore. Right now he's doing hack-cons in Europe, booking them as "playstation 3 security" talks when in fact it's 1:48 of i-product speech and the rest is basically what is in the last ~8 blog posts. All broad spectrum garbage. He doesn't cover anything to do with metldr, lvl2, PUP building etc..
People at the cons can be heard laughing when his ego kicks in. I don't think he realizes what a little fish he is in RE.
Basically he did hack the PS3, he hacked Linux off of it ^^

FT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA -- We purchased new washer dryer 4 months ago. They have been trying to repair it for a month. Either wrong parts were ordered or arrived broken or repair guy canceled. There seems to be no end. By far the worst experience I have ever had. 5 weeks still no washer. Beware.

Sears seems to have major problems getting the right parts ordered. There are many complaints here about the wrong parts being received. Next you will be plagued by canceled and no-show service appointments.
Once you get past the warranty you need to find a local repair shop for your appliances. They will respect you far more than Sears will. Sears service is in the toilet.

Posted by BigAl on 2012-07-08:
The big question is why are the wrong parts being sent. It is my belief that the technician misdiagnoses the problem and orders a part that will not fix the machine. Too many times companies refuse to pay adequate wages to technicians so they end up with "part changers" for service personnel.

Thank you so much for the advice, much appreciated ! Will def google your recommendations
I have been diagnosed with a 2nd metatarsal stress fracture and put into a removable cast. I was training for the manchester marathon last week. I have not run since the 1st April which is which is when my injury started but i have for the last 2 weeks been swimming mon -fri. I was running approx 40 miles a week over 5 days. I need advice over how to return to training when allowed to stop myself a) gomong back to it too quick and b) to prevent it happening again please.
ok, not sure if Im asking a daft question or not but whats the differance between the ultra and normal options on the registration page ?
I got through the manchester marathon with chase and status and 2 workout mixes that my friend downloaded for me. I however love Elbow and find that when they come on I relax and my posture relaxes as I am guilty at times of gradually hunching over as I run !
you take these out with you ? thats amazing ! i would never think to - naive of me yes ! thanks very much for those although after the last few weeks i think mince pies i would struggle with !

Water for the Southwest/ A valuable commodity. Clamor grows to buy, sell, lease water -- but obstacles remain
Los Angeles
Water, civilization's most precious natural resource, is not yet traded alongside pork bellies in the trading pits of Chicago's commodities markets. But in the West, where water has been treated as something of a public good for nearly a century, there is a growing clamor to buy, sell, and lease it in the open marketplace.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
The notion of treating water as a commodity has been promoted by environmentalists who want to see the price of water reflect its real value. The premise: Cheap water is wasted water.
Furthermore, the notion is catching hold with those who need water and want to buy it from the farmers who have it, but can't always use it. This is especially true among the growing Sunbelt cities.
The potential for marketing water is great, but so are the obstacles.
At the southern end of the immense and sweltering flatness of California's San Joaquin Valley, where a state canal supplies irrigation water, farmers make the erstwhile desert bloom for about $55 per acre-foot (an acre of water one foot deep).
At the northern end, where an older federal project supplies water, it costs farmers only about $5 per acre-foot.
According to a state legislative study, if the northern region sold some water to the southern region, each side would benefit by roughly one million dollars a year -- through cheaper water for the South and high-water profits for the North. Two California assemblymen even went down to the valley this spring to try to interest farmers in, such a trade.
If the entire state traded water between regions in an open market, the potential revenue all around would amount to $156 million a year by 1995, according to Henry Vaux, an economist with the University of California at Riverside,
But little water trading activity has actually taken place. The West's long history of water wars has turned farmers and rural communities into skeptics.
Farmers fear losing their rights to the water if they allow someone else to use it. And communities fear farmers will sell out, take their profits, and leave local commerce to wither away.
``The only real obstacles are people's attitudes, but those are going to take awhile to change,'' says Jerry Meral, director of the Planning and Conservation League in Sacramento.
In the Rocky Mountain states, water rights have been traded for years, and water markets are becoming more widespread and sophisticated.
In the Northern Colorado Conservancy District, which includes Fort Collins and Boulder, farmers frequently sell their water shares to pay off part of their debt, says water broker Craig Harrison. Often they lease the water back; sometimes they shift to crops that require less water. ``If someone sells all their water, they grow wheat,'' he says.
``We haven't gotten to the point where the prices are listed in the newspaper,'' says Mr. Harrison. ``But we may.'' Harrison is trying to encourage commodity investors -- and not just water users -- into the water market.
The selling of water rights has become frequent enough in some New Mexico river basins -- usually a farmer selling his water to a city -- that prices have risen dramatically.

Peering through the silk curtains of a swank hotel room in coastal France, cleaning woman Hélène (Sandrine Bonnaire) dwells on two lovers, one of them a nightgown-clad Jennifer Beals, as they engage in the foreplay-est bout of chess since the original Thomas Crown Affair. It's enough to rock her world, and with good reason: Hélène, as we quickly surmise, is a repressed matriarch with a neglecting husband (Francis Renaud) reluctant to do date nights, a bitchy daughter sucking up their blue-collar wages and a life barely lived.
Her interest piqued, she thus notices the chess set in the tony manse of one of her employers, brooding expat recluse Kröger (Kevin Kline, speaking credible French). Soon enough, Kröger is educating Rita ... er, schooling Hélène in all things Bobby Fischer. She proves a natural, wouldn't you know, but will her budding self-actualization ruin her marriage? Will the hermit emerge from his cave? Will an unconvincing, bullshit plot development throw a wrench in the relationship between tutor and tutee?
To its credit, Caroline Bottaro's Queen to Play—less horrifically named Joueuse ("playful") elsewhere—doesn't answer all of those questions as predictably as you'd think. Still, it follows the Educating Rita template so close it might as well be a remake, albeit one without a single joke. Serious, hushed, gentle, Bottaro's middlebrow thumbtwiddler tries to hide its true face.
And thanks to good casting, it almost fares well. Not only do both leads underplay, they refuse to beg for our pity, despite the script's numerous and diligent attempts to make them seem pathetic. Kline is as withdrawn as he's usually outsized. Bonnaire is a perspicacious screen presence. She was 15 when she honed her craft working for Jacques Rivette, Agnes Varda and the notoriously difficult Maurice Pialat ( A Nos Amour is on Netflix Instant, by the way). Frankly, she's too good for this movie, and her introspective performance, bordering on cold, is the exact opposite this genre typically requires. Her sharp and naturally moving work makes Queen to Play as tolerable as it could ever be.

Exterior Finishes
ProShield vinyl extrusion colors are specially created to complement a wide range of exterior design materials. Unlike painted finishes, color is consistent throughout the extrusion, which means any nicks and scratches that may occur will remain less visible.
Vinyl Clad Exterior Colors
Colors shown may not be actual representations. Actual color samples are available upon request.
Interior Options
Choose from a selection of rich, warmth interior wood species.
Wood Species
Pine wood species is standard.
Wood species swatches shown will vary and may not be actual representations. Actual wood samples are available upon request.
No matter the style of your project there are grille options to suit your design. There are three grille options available including wood removable grilles, grilles in the airspace and simulated divided lites.
Wood Removable Grilles
Wood removable grilles feature a frame design that offers strength superior to stick grilles offered by other window manufacturers. The frame snaps securely into the interior sash using a concealed pin system. Wood removable grilles make window cleaning easier, yet provide an added interior dimension. Custom grille designs are available.
Grilles in the Airspace
Grilles in the airspace (GIA) consist on aluminum muntin bars in between two panes of insulating glass, giving you the look of divided lites while making window cleaning easier.
Simulated Divided Lites
Simulated divided lites (SDL) offer the authentic look of true divided lites without sacrificing energy efficiency. Interior and exterior bars are permanently adhered the glass and a narrow spacer bar is positioned within the insulating glass airspace. Unlike true divided lites, SDL utilizes a single pane of insulating glass, decreasing the potential for energy loss. Exterior bars will be finished to match the exterior finish specified. Custom grille designs are available.
No matter what climate you live in, Weather Shield offers the most extensive offering of energy efficient glass options available. The exclusive Zo-e-shield glazing systems feature multiple layers of Low-E coating, EasyCare surface coating, inert gas-filled insulating airspace*, as well as Real Warm Edge® spacer bars.

I bought a digital Picture key fob and it is really good. It arrived on time and is outstanding value for money.
Nicely packaged with all the necessary instructions for usage inside.
Very happy to recommend this company and this item.
Really needed to write this as i am astounded by the excellent service provided by Toolstop.
Not only were the goods i required considerably cheaper, (my local supplier couldn't buy them for what i paid) but they arrived within 24hrs of me placing my order over the telephone.
The operator i spoke to was extremely helpful, gave me a further discount and was very polite.
The goods arrived well packaged and in pristine condition.
I would like to congratulate everyone concerned with my order and look forward to dealing with them in the near future.
Many thanks

Why US support for sacked Pakistan ambassador is a double-edged sword
Americans have voiced support for Pakistan's former Washington ambassador, under virtual house arrest following the 'memo-gate' scandal. But the atmosphere is so poisonous, the words may do more harm than good.
The former Pakistani ambassador to Washington, Husain Haqqani, embroiled in a political scandal and government power struggle that have him under virtual house arrest in Islamabad, might normally find comfort in the letters of support that prominent South Asia scholars and some members of Congress have written on his behalf.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Usually in cases involving a declared "strategic partner" that has received billions of dollars in US assistance, the kind of gentle warning the State Department issued to Pakistan last week that it is "watching and monitoring the situation closely" would be a boon to the individual in question.
But so poisoned are US-Pakistan relations, so unpopular and suspect is the US in Pakistan, that Mr. Haqqani's connections to – and shows of support from – the US may if anything be working against him.
Haqqani was Pakistan's well-viewed ambassador to Washington until November, when he was recalled to Islamabad over a letter the US government received purportedly seeking Washington's help in reining in Pakistan's powerful military and intelligence apparatus. (Ambassador Haqqani was featured at a Monitor-hosted breakfast, at which he gave a spirited defense of his country's dealings with the US, the day he was summoned back to Islamabad.)
Haqqani, who is also a journalist and a former professor of international relations at Boston University, denied any role in the letter. But the uproar around the letter has evolved into what in Pakistan is called "memo-gate," one of several political scandals under investigation by the Pakistani Supreme Court. Together they are threatening to bring down the country's beleaguered civilian government.
In the meantime, Haqqani's passport has been seized and he is not permitted to leave Islamabad, even though his wife remains in Washington.
Concerns in Washington over Haqqani's treatment have prompted an outpouring of support.
First three US senators issued a statement expressing their concern over Haqqani's "mistreatment" at the hands of Pakistani authorities.

Yes Man & Bigfoot
Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 5th, 2008
I personally know Peyton Reed (above), the director of the new movie Yes Man (starring Zooey Deschanel – below – and Jim Carrey). Few are aware that Peyton is a big fan of cryptozoology. But now a strange lawsuit that only marginally involves his next project has brought out into the open a Bigfoot presence in his forthcoming December '08 film.
But, oh, boy, did anyone see this kind of lawsuit coming?
According to an article, "California Group Sues Big Foot Lodge Owner" by Andy Meek in The Daily News, Memphis, Tennessee, I think people will be surprised to know that there is the hint of Sasquatch in Reed's newest movie.
There's the Beef: Big Foot Lodge co-owner Shawn Danko holds the Sasquatch Burger in front of his Downtown restaurant's Sasquatch statue. — The Memphis Daily News File Photo
A California-based restaurant ownership group has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee against two Memphis restaurant owners who operate a similar restaurant concept here.
The lawsuit was filed Friday, according to The Daily News.
In the suit, the creators of The Bigfoot Lodge restaurant concept in California – which includes such interior features as a log cabin design and a large Sasquatch statue – claim husband and wife Shawn and Lana Danko inappropriately used the restaurant name and similar design elements, among other things, for the Big Foot Lodge restaurant and bar they opened in Memphis in 2005.
The Dankos' Big Foot eatery likewise includes a log cabin design and a large Sasquatch statue, among other similarities.
"I don't have a comment for you at this time," Shawn Danko told The Daily News when asked about the lawsuit Monday. "It just came over the wire today, so I couldn't comment for you at this point."
Larger implications
BA2 LLC is the entity that in 1999 opened The Bigfoot Lodge in California while at the time operating under the name The Bigfoot Lodge LLC. In the suit filed against the Dankos by BA2 LLC, a copy of a June 2005 Memphis Business Journal article is attached in which Shawn Danko says the inspiration for his own restaurant's name came from the California Bigfoot Lodge lounge and bar.
In an interview with The Daily News last year, Danko said his Memphis restaurant concept was developed over a period of several years. He said the idea grew in large part out of his fascination with the ape-like creature known as Big Foot.
"The Big Foot concept stems back to seven years ago now, when I was working at the Hard Rock Café," Danko said at the time. "It was a concept that I was slowly working on over time and it was a concept that I always kind of had in the back of my head."
Now the concept is at the center of a legal dispute whose plaintiff sees an opportunity for confusion to exist on multiple fronts. One of them involves a major Hollywood film scheduled to be released next month.
A full-sized replica of the Bigfoot Lodge's Los Angeles bar was built on a sound stage as the setting for some scenes in the film "Yes Man," scheduled to be released next month and starring Jim Carrey, according to the lawsuit. The suit also includes a message thread taken from the local Internet message board run by Goner Records.
"As one post on the Memphis-based message board hosted by Goner Records asks, 'Is this [Big Foot Lodge Memphis] associated with the Bigfoot in (Los Angeles and San Francisco)?? Anybody know?" reads the reference to the Memphis message board included with the suit.
"Another (Goner) user responds, 'Same thing, I think.' Plaintiff is informed and believes that once Warner Bros.' Jim Carrey movie 'Yes Man' opens nationwide on December 19, 2008, many more people will be actually confused into thinking that Defendants' Big Foot Lodge Memphis is associated with Plaintiff's Bigfoot Lodge LA and Bigfoot Lodge SF."
I look forward to seeing this apparent crypto-scene in Yes Man. My best wishes to Peyton and the wide success for his next motion picture!

Online story times are designed to introduce your child to language, literature and the library. By exposing your toddler to a wide variety of the best books available and making reading an everyday part of life, you will lay the foundations for a lifelong love of reading.
Learn more about Toddler Story Times. Check the calendar for Babies & Books and Tales for Twos story times.
Involve toddlers in holiday preparations, like shopping for foods and gifts and putting up decorations. Talk about the coming celebrations and play-act happenings for family or community ceremonies. Encourage them to be a part of appropriate activities, but be aware that young children may become overwhelmed with the sights, sounds, and large crowds involved with festivities. Help them focus on smaller components of the celebration. They will absorb and understand much of the broader traditions, but not in the same way as older children and adults do. That will come later. Many cultures celebrate holidays in December. Use this opportunity and festive atmosphere to learn more about other people in your community and the holidays they celebrate.

Jello Biafra @ Foley Square for Occupy Wall Street - 9/16 (photo by zacharylipez)
Today (9/17,Rosh Hashanah for many), protestors have taken to the streets around Wall Street on the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movment. The anniversary celebration kicked off yesterday, on Sunday, in Foley Square near City Hall where a stage was setup for a five-hour concert featuring familiar, OWS-supporting names like Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Lee Ranaldo (and Steve Shelley) of Sonic Youth, Michelle Shocked, Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys, and Jimmy McMillan, who as we pointed out last week, will be running for mayor again because the rent is still too damn high! Watch videos from the show, below...
UPDATE: This happened.
In recognition of Occupy Wall Street's first anniversary there will be a concert, from the Occupy Guitarmy folks who are looking to educate Jay-Z to the OWS cause outside his first show at the Barclays Center, will be held in New York's Foley Square today (9/16) featuring Tom Morello, Jello Biafra, Michelle Shocked, Lee Ranaldo, Das Racist's Kool A.D., My Brightest Diamond, and more.
The concert starts at 1 PM, following at march from the West Village and will be an open jam, playing classic protest songs like Woodie Gutherie's "This Land Is Your Land," Florence Reece's "Which Side Are You On?" as well as more modern sing-a-longs like Cee lo Green's "Fuck You." More info at the OccupyGuitarmy website.

Not to be confused with Hank 3, Hank Williams Jr played "to a crowd of nearly 8,500 at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand Friday night." More interestingly:
For a good portion of the concert it seemed like Williams had moved beyond issues of politics and was putting the focus on the Bocephus party. But those made their way back into the show in a much more straightforward way later in the set.True enough (the part about it not deserving a response).Following the song "We Don't Apologize For America" a chant of "USA, USA" broke out amongst the crowd. Williams smiled, telling the crowd that he was their mouth piece and adding:
"We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the US and we hate him!"
The cheers that followed were loud and enthusiastic.
When reached for comment Saturday, Brad Anderson with the Obama campaign in Iowa said in an email, "That type of absurd nonsense doesn't really deserve a response."
In related news, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan likes Rage Against the Machine but naturally they don't like him.
Busta Ryhmes @ Brooklyn Hip Hop Fest
Busta Rhymes headlined the closing night of the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival on Saturday (7/14) with a set which saw him reunited with Leaders of the New School -- the group which launched his career -- marking the first time Busta's performed with them since the mid-'90s (despite the group reuniting without him back in 2010). Though it had been hinted at, Raekwon and Rakim did not appear as guests at the show, but A Tribe Called Quest members Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, among others, did show up.
HipHopDX was at the show, and here's what they had to say about it:
With Spliff Star by his side, Bussa Bus rattled through a gaggle of hits from his illustrious, 20-plus year career - including anthems "Woo Ha!," "Pass The Courvoisier," "Party Goin' On Over Here," "Look At Me Now," "Everybody Rise," and others. The Brooklyn-native also brought Lil Fame and Slick Rick to the stage for performances of "Ante Up Remix" and "Children's Story," respectively, as well as Reek Da Villain, and BHF regulars, Buckshot and Smif-N-Wessun of Boot Camp Clik. In a classy display of skill, Busta Rhymes continued leading the audience in his rendition of "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See" even after the sound was cut because the show went past the park's 8PM curfew. Those in attendance loved it, waving their hands to Rhymes impromptu, pantomime performance, leaving on an upbeat note despite a day of noticeable challenges.A NewYorkMusicNews video, which you can watch below, reports that Busta's set was cut off due to time constraints and though they turned off his mic, he stayed on stage and got the crowd swaying their arms and cheering. The video's also got a clip of Busta doing one of those mile-a-minute freestyles that he does so well.
Speaking of turning off mics, and as a lot of the internet is reporting, the same thing happened to Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, and Tom Morello in London this weekend.
"Bruce Springsteen had been waiting for this moment for a long time. "I gotta tell you," he said to the 76,000-strong crowd, "I've been trying to do this for 50 years." For the finale of his headline slot in London's Hyde Park on Saturday, he'd arranged a very special treat: An onstage collaboration with Beatles legend Paul McCartney. But the rock megastar hadn't banked on the local London council deciding to show him who was boss." [CNN]Check out the video below.
You can catch Q-Tip again this Friday (7/20) at Irving Plaza where he'll be djing the second edition of his "Offline" party, but note: "There will be a strict door policy. No single guys will be admitted unless there are ladies in your group. Dress To Impress. We love style and we know you do too, so please dress smart. Management reserves the right to refuse admission." Sounds fun.

"The Occupy movement that mobilized thousands of protestors last fall was mostly quiet through the winter in New York, as both the cold and the NYPD chased demonstrators out of their makeshift camp in Zuccotti Park. But the movement officially relaunched on May 1st in honor of International Workers' Day, with organized protests taking place throughout the U.S. and with Tom Morello, Das Racist and other musicians staging a May Day concert in downtown Manhattan.How was your May Day? Pictures and videos of the May 1st party in Union Square, below..."I traveled 3,000 miles to march with you today," Morello told a diverse crowd of Occupiers during a ceremonial "mic check" in Bryant Park. "It is an honor to march these streets with you, to sing these songs with you, letting the powers that be know that we will be heard."
Morello led a "guitarmy" of hundreds along Fifth Avenue from Bryant Park down to Union Square. An Occupy Tumblr had already supplied the setlist - including Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" and tunes from Morello's own World Wide Rebel Songs LP - and many had cheat sheets taped to the sides of their guitars, as they strummed and sang protest songs along with the rocker. As the band of marches inched its way into Union Square, a much larger rally commenced featuring Das Racist, Dan Deacon, and Immortal Technique on stage...." [Rolling Stone]

As you may have heard, the Occupy community has organized a protest to strike on May 1st as part of May Day. In solidarity with that sentiment, the Occupy Guitarmy organization is calling on musicians of all shapes and sizes to meet the group in NYC at Bryant Park....
All strings, shakers, and voices welcomeOnce Occupy Guitarmy reaches Union Square, they'll kick off a free, amplified rally at 4PM (with the correct permits) featuring long-time supporter Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave etc) and performances from Immortal Technique, Das Racist, Dan Deacon, and the Bobby Sanabria Band. More details are available via Occupy Guitarmy and below.

As you probably heard, Occupy Wall Street marched up to Times Square on Saturday evening for an "Occupation Party", complete with a Shepard Fairey designed invite (see above). Chris didn't go all the way to Times Square, but he did run into the march when it hit 34th St aka right near Comic Con at the Javits. Chris's pictures, and videos from Tom Morello's recent appearance, below...
Tom Morello @ Newport Folk Fest 2009 (more by Jim Brueckner)
Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has announced plans to perform at the Occupy Wall Street protest at noon [today] in Manhattan. Morello, who has previously performed at the Occupy Los Angeles rally, will play a solo set as the Nightwatchman.Today (10/13) is also the first day of NY Comic Con & Anime Fest over at the Javits Center. Tom Morello performs in the convention center tonight with Z-Trip as part of the con's kickoff concert."The Nightwatchman will Occupy Wall Street [today] at noon, adding one more voice to the growing chorus of millions demanding economic justice at home and around the globe," Morello tells Rolling Stone. "And I'll be playing some songs. Likely in the rain."
Morello will be the third major act to perform at the protest. Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum and rapper Talib Kweli have recently played impromptu sets at the protest site. Earlier this week, Kanye West visited the scene, but did not perform. [Rolling Stone]
We get why the Rage Against the Machine guitarist would show up at Occupy Wall St, but why Comic Con? Well, Comixcorner.com says:
Tom Morello's graphic novel Orchid, which tells the tale of a 16-year-old street prostitute in a dystopian future, will be released in twelve issues through Dark Horse Comics will be on sale October 12th. Orchid features a variant cover by the well-known and influential street artist Shepard Fairey, with interior art by Scott Hepburn (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic).Other guests at Comic Con include Jon Glaser, David Cross, Chris Elliot, Carrie Brownstein (who is in tour with Wild Flag), Jon Benjamin, Janeane Garofalo, Judah Friedlander, Kevin Smith, Patton Oswalt, Fred Armisen, Mark Hamill, and many more. (Fred and Carrie will be promoting Portlandia)"Orchid is part Suicide Girl, part Joan of Arc, who becomes the Spartacus of Whores in a story that merges the epic scope of Lord of the Rings with the politics of street terrorism." - Tom Morello
Headlined by DJ Z-Trip, the concert is free to all VIP's and 4-Day ticket holders BUT seating is first come, first served and will be extremely limited due to size of the auditorium and popularity of the event. Ultimate Access, Special Access and Anime Access VIP ticket holders will be guaranteed to get into the show first; then, 4-Day ticket holders will be let in until the auditorium is full. The concert is open to all 4-Day ticket holders on a first come, first served basis and we cannot guarantee that all 4-Day ticket holders that want to attend the show will be able to get in.
"I'm stoked and honored to be playing alongside Tom Morello at the New York Comic Con. He's one of my favorite guitarists of all time, and I've always admired the level of consciousness he brings to the table. This show is gonna be great. Can't wait to read his new comic too." - DJ Z-Trip
Tom Morello is appearing courtesy of Dark Horse Comics, New York Comic Con and Midtown Comics - who will be selling Orchid #1 exclusively at the Kick-Off Concert.

Jay-Z, Beyonce & Johnny Rotten
This year, the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival reveals that tattoos are more ubiquitous among social scenes than ever before. A walking museum of quotes and legendary faces from Jesus to Michael Jackson decorates the backs, shoulders, calves and fingers of people fashionably reliving their favorite historical decades at this heat-stroke inducing music marathon.
I thought Wale didn't show up, but later found out that he showed up late. Baroness demonstrated the art of rocking out at least three to five times before each song reached a satisfied climax. Metal can be a real turn on, especially surrounded by sweaty good-looking people. Deer Tick performed an R+B version of "Ashamed" followed by John McCauley caressing his nipples. LA band Iglu and Hartly had enthusiasm, but is this Mickey Avalon without the drugs and prostitutes? Which leaves what? Sleigh Bells began with a booty melting bass line palpable from the VIP section across the field, soon overtaken by hipster hop metal pop for people that like beaches and children. The Avett Brothers made an exciting second Coachella appearance on the Outdoor Stage. Two years ago, the band played Sunday gospel time, all manners and simplicity, but the Bros returned with a full band, and a few thousand people singing every word, stomping to the banjo, and hugging during the sweet parts. The banjo will take over America. Just wait. Country music is infiltrating avant-garde and above ground indie worlds alike.
Standing midway between the big stages, just a few feet from yet another girl with the words "Have u seen my friend Molly?" scrawled on her back, the Avett Brothers' heart-wrenching "January Wedding" got a reggaeton remix from Calle 13 booming on the Main Stage. This Puerto Rican dancefloor marvel used a tea kettle for a mic effect, and taught the audience to say "No me jodas las pelotas" against negativity ("Don't fuck my balls"). Speaking of balls, Yeasayer's crowd went absolutely nuts screaming, but the guys barely seemed aware, transported as they were to some space station cloud. The harmonies rocked like angelic aliens-but, smile, guys. Hockey demonstrated a genuine interest in moving indie rock standards forward, especially attracting the PG-13 festival contingency. M. ward raspy singing "Roll Over Beethoven" during She & Him's set delivered tingly shivers, but Zooey Deschanel's approach to "I Put A Spell On You" did not crumble souls. Her jazzy voice and bouncy energy otherwise made for a good time that elicited repetitive shouts of "I Love You!" from the first row.
Gil Scott-Heron
Music should be at least marginally weird or infinitely classic, but Tom Morello's band, Street Sweeper Social Club, brings nothing new to either category and so seems a waste of great musicians. Get weird or the future will never arrive. That being said, the musicians Coachella digs up from history often present the most exciting moments. Rock steady ska pioneers The Specials sent a crispy, warm message to Rudy that every witness appreciated immensely, but it was outrageous that barely any photographers showed up for Gil Scott-Heron's smooth, soulful set [editor's note: ours did!]. The man is partly responsible for getting Martin Luther King, Jr. a holiday, godfathered hip hop, and that doesn't merit attention? A large crowd attended his every word, but the photos won't show it. Later on, James Murphy screamed Gil Scott-Heron's name during "Losing My Edge" as if it were the name of God. Glad he gets it. LCD Soundsystem's first single in 2002, "Losing My Edge" is a historical document worth preserving for the ages, an essence that speaks to what Coachella seems bent on capturing and rewriting every year. Echo & The Bunnymen rode the high-hat zealously-as many have copied since-giving chapped lips sugar kisses. Public Image, Ltd., could not take Jay-Z's audience away from him nor unglue Fever Ray fans from Karin Dreijer Andersson's encompassing fog spell, but I'll be damned if PiL wasn't the best show all day. John Lydon's hair stood on edge and he rolled his rrrr's heroically. His gang of old men put the good junk in post-punk.
As this first 12 hour music summary comes to a close, a few acts remain worth giving a hoot about. Grizzly Bear's hypnotic power hardly needs mentioning and Vampire Weekend knows you love "Horchata." New cool La Roux magnetizes with a disco flavor that Anita Ward might approve. As hoped, Little Dragon's gentle fire breathing soul pop fronted by Yukimi's sexy voice and adorable stage presence comes in as Friday's second favorite. The music's weird enough, bent on discovering surprises. One-woman band Imogen Heap, as well, is the queen of surprises. She moves around her instruments, looping this and dubbing that as if casually mixing a magic potion or prepping a sandwich. Jay-Z's "On To The Next One" is an appropriate theme song for the attention span needed to get your money's worth at Coachella. And then Beyonce came out. We all bowed down before her short shorts.
Them Crooked Vultures, Passion Pit, Dillinger Escape Plan, Yo Gabba Gabba, and The Whitest Boy Alive also played sets on Friday. The Cribs were among those who could not. Coachella continues for a second day today/Saturday (Record Store Day). More pictures and videos and stuff from the first day, below...

The 12 year break is over & school is back in session. Sign up now. Knights of the Soundtable ride again! www.soundgardenworld.com - [Chris Cornell]After twelve years of attempts at Top 40, complete with collaborations with Timbaland, Chris Cornell has followed the lead of his former bandmates in Audioslave (I still can't believe that is an actual band name) and returned to the great Soundgarden.
Since the breakup, the rest of Soundgarden has kept busy as well, with Kim Thayil collaborating with Ascend, Jello Biafra, and sunn O))), Ben Shepard collaborating with Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan, and Matt Cameron serving as Pearl Jam's drummer. In March, the three joined Tad Doyle (of Tad) on stage in Seattle at a show for The Nightwatchman (Tom Morello). They performed Soundgarden material. Dig on video from that show, as well as a gang of Soundgarden vids, below...
Bruce Springsteen & Tom Morello @ MSG (BMoreSweet)
U2 closed the second night of the MSG Rock & Roll Hall of Fame shows on October 30th. At the first (10/29), it was Bruce Springsteen & Billy Joel (before one big group sing on Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher")...
After "Badlands" much of the drained audience began leaving and then rushed back to their seats when Billy Joel sat down at the piano and launched into "You May Be Right," "Only The Good Die Young" and "New York State Of Mind." (The pair were uniting the kindred spirits of New Jersey and Long Island, Springsteen explained.) "Higher and Higher" wrapped up the night. The official set list had the show ending at 11:36:55 (yes, they thought they had it down to the exact second), but the final notes rang out at 1:31 a.m. Six straight hours of music, and that was just the first of two nights. [Rolling Stone]Bruce was actually there both nights (one of many possibly "filling in" for Eric Clapton, who canceled last minute on the second). Those in attendence on the 30th got to see U2, Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith sing together on "Because the Night." (And U2 + Mick Jagger (another unannounced guest) + Fergie + Will.i.am sing "Gimme Shelter"...). Ray Davies, Lou Reed, and Ozzy Osbourne all performed with Metallica. Many played with Stevie Wonder. Full setlists below.
HBO will be airing four hours of highlights on Thanksgiving weekend.
(November 29th at 8PM ET).
Bruce's current tour wraps up November 22nd in Buffalo. He was at Giants Stadium earlier this fall, playing the last concerts ever there. U2 also played the venue for two nights in September, and will be back in Jersey in 2010 as part of their just-announced tour.
Set lists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame shows are below...

"Half a century ago, Pete Seeger helped found the Newport Folk Festival, a weekend notorious for its dichotomies- Rhode Island high society and scrappy folk singers, old time traditions and new sounds, social rebellion and responsible activism. At this year's 50th anniversary, the festival came full circle for Seeger and other Newport regulars.While we were busy worrying about the weather and All Points West here in NYC, The Newport Folk Festival was turning 50 up in Newport, Rhode Island (Aug 1-2, 2009). NPR was there and has archived streams of many of the performances. We have more pictures (from the first day for now), and some videos (including one of the Bob Dylan reenactment), below...In addition to appearing and performing for the umpteenth time, Seeger was honored with an all out stage show courtesy of indie rockers the Decemberists. With frontman Colin Meloy narrating and guitarist Chris Funk playing the part of Seeger, plus Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) as Bob Dylan, the crew reenacted an infamous scene from the 1965 festival: the moment when Bob Dylan "went electric." According to Rolling Stone, while Funk was miming a frazzled Seeger attempting to unplug Dylan's raucous reinvention, Meloy quipped, "This was back in the day when the PA system was fueled entirely by burning wood. Pete was back there cutting the wood, and he became so overwhelmed with emotion that his hatchet almost slipped and severed the power cables."
Seeger knew the sketch was all in good fun and soon joined the Decemberists on stage for a sing-a-long. Gillian Welch, Fleet Foxes, and even Seeger's grandson Tao joined in on the jam. The 90-year-old legend even cranked out a solo or two. After all, as festival promoter George Wein said Saturday, "Pete Seeger is the Newport Folk Festival."" [American Songwriter]

Pete Seeger @ Columbia in April...
"Clearwater conducts innovative environmental programs, advocacy and celebrations in order to inspire and energize the next generation of environmental leaders.Pete Seeger's been busy lately, especially for someone who just celebrated his 90th birthday. The event for that occasion took place at Madison Square Garden on May 3rd, and is reviewed in full below, with pictures. A few weeks before that, on Earth Day (April 18th), Pete played a show at Columbia's Teachers College. Photos from that show are below too. Right after that he headed to New Orleans to perform at Jazz Fest. Prior to those, Seeger played the Clearwater benefit with Jeff Tweedy at Beacon High School on March 28th. We also recently noticed his name as the special guest on a show at Joe's Pub.Clearwater was founded in 1969 by music legend and environmental activist Pete Seeger." [Clearwater]
This summer Pete Seeger is scheduled to play the Newport Folk Festival (August 1st and 2nd), and will perform at his own Clearwater Festival, taking place in Croton-on-the-Hudson, NY this weekend (June 20th and 21st). The Clearwater Fest lineup includes Dr. Dog, A.C. Newman, Elvis Perkins in Dearland, Richie Havens, Old Crow Medicine Show, Alejandro Escovedo, Arlo Guthrie and others. Its full schedule is below. Tickets are still sale at the gate.
UPDATE: we can confirm that Pete played his scheduled Saturday morning Clearwater Fest performance "with kids" for those who braved the rain. Pete will perform again at the festival on Sunday afternoon with his grandson Tao Rodriguez-Seeger.
A review of Pete Seeger's 90th Birthday Celebration at MSG, and all above-mentioned photos, with the full Clearwater Festival lineup & schedule, below...
Street Sweeper Social Club @ Jones Beach Theater (more by Zach Dilgard)
Street Sweeper Social Club, the opening band on the tour, shares perspective with both NIN/JA headliners: its worldview is cynical, and its brand of action resembles a party. A rap-rock super-group of sorts, it features Tom Morello, the guitarist formerly with Rage Against the Machine, and Boots Riley, a rapper in the Oakland, Calif., hip-hop group the Coup.The NIN/Jane's Addiction tour ended June 14th. Two days later (TODAY, Tuesday, June 16th), Street Sweeper Social Club will play a CD release show for its debut album at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC. Tonight's gig will feature opener Shinobi Ninja. Advanced tickets were still on sale last night, so we're guessing there will be some at the door too.The band's brief set was apoplectic, full of fist-pumping slogans and seemingly cobbled out of spare parts from other projects. "This is not a performance, this is a meeting," Mr. Riley declared, trying out a different model of inclusiveness than either Mr. Farrell or Mr. Reznor would choose. "Thank you for attending." [NY Times]
The show coincides with the release of their self-titled debut record on WM's Independent Label Group. Street Sweeper Social club will also be appearing Wednesday night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
The band performed a cover of "Kick Out the Jams" with Trent Reznor at some of the NIN shows. A video of that, with other clips of SSSC, below...

"King of the Dogs," the lead single from Iggy Pop's forthcoming album Préliminaires, was released digitally on May 5 through all digital retailers including Amazon, iTunes and Rhapsody. Rolling Stone included the song on their "Hot List" calling it "Magnifique," and adding that "on this Big Easy-style single from his French-novel-inspired new disc, Ig gets his Tom Waits on." The track is also currently being featured on Stereogum.Iggy last performed on Friday at the Road Recovery benefit at Nokia Theatre in NYC. Lots of pictures and videos from that event, below..."King of the Dogs" was inspired by New Orleans style jazz, with an arrangement featuring trumpet, trombone and clarinet. "At one point, I just got sick of listening to idiot thugs with guitars banging out crappy music," says Iggy. "I've started listening to a lot of New Orleans-era, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton type of jazz."
Préliminaires, which will be released in the U.S. on EMI Music's Astralwerks label on June 2, was produced by Hal Cragin and inspired by French author Michel Houellebecq's 2005 novel The Possibility of an Island. Iggy will also be performing at the fifth annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert honoring Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis, which takes place at club Nokia in Los Angeles on May 8.
The 50th annual Newport Folk Festival will take place at Rhode Island's Fort Adams Park on Saturday, August 1st and Sunday, August 2nd. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, May 6th at 10am
Pete Seeger, who is a cofounder of the Festival and who just celebrated his 90th birthday with a show at MSG, will be playing both nights. On Sunday, he'll be joined by Judy Collins, who is also performing a free Folks on the Island show Sunday, July 26th on NYC's Governors Island.
Saturday acts at the Fest include Billy Bragg and Tom Morello, who just shared a stage with Iggy Pop at NYC's Nokia Theatre, and the Decemberists, who have a big summer tour that's stopping at NYC's Radio City Music Hall on June 10th, Fleet Foxes, who have tour dates including All Points West, and the Avett Brothers, who are on tour and playing NYC's Irving Plaza on June 12th and 13th. Langhorne Slim will be there too (he's also at Lollapalooza this summer). Iron & Wine are playing both this, and ATP NY.
Sunday's show is heavy on big-name folkies with Collins (mentioned above), Joan Baez and Arlo Guthrie all performing. Arlo Guthrie is also playing a free show at Castle Clinton in NYC this summer.
Neko Case, playing Sunday, just did two nights at NYC's Nokia Theater and will be at All Points West, among other festivals.
Elvis Perkins in Dearland will be there. Perkins and Co. played the Bowery in March, and their summer tour includes a May 20th show at the Bell House in Brooklyn (tickets), and the Clearwater Festival (another project founded by Seeger) on June 20th and 21st in Croton-on Hudson, NY.
Also on Sunday is Deer Tick, whose big summer includes opening for Jenny Lewis at MHoW on June 9th, headlining the Bowery on July 24th (tickets go on sale Friday, May 8th at noon), and playing a free Celebrate Brooklyn show at Prospect Park on August 7th.
