Brian Setzer and Slim Jim Phantom could not agree. Just how much rehearsal would the Stray Cats need for their first U.S. tour in 15 years?
"A good solid week," drummer Phantom said last month from his home in Los Angeles before rehearsals started.
"Just two days to pull a set list together," said singer/guitarist Setzer from his home in Minneapolis. "This doesn't need all the rehearsal. It's still the three of us in the garage."
Well, at least they agreed on one thing: They are glad to be back on tour, especially with Rock `n Roll Hall of Famers ZZ Top and the Pretenders.
Most of the shows on the six-week tour, which started last week, are sponsored by JACK radio stations—a format that plays an unpredictable mix of oldies and newer music. Both Setzer and Phantom admit tuning in to JACK.
"I listen to JACK and ... then all the satellite stations; I'm on a blues kick," said Setzer, 48, who moved to Minneapolis a couple of years ago with his new Minnesota-bred wife, Julie.
Phantom, 46, thinks JACK Fest is a great formula for a tour.
"There's got to be 30 songs there that everyone knows off the top of their heads," he said, sounding like he'd buy a ticket himself if he weren't playing. "These are bands that have stood the test of time."
Always big in England where they got their start, the Stray Cats reunited in 2004 for a monthlong European tour. "We realized this band is great," Setzer said. But the rockabilly revivalists needed the right offer for a U.S. reunion trek—"not a rinky-dink club tour."
Setzer didn't hesitate about this summer's package. When asked about pecking order, he told the organizers: "Let ZZ Top close and let Chrissie (Hynde and the Pretenders) go in the middle. We'll open the show. That's fine. I don't have a problem with any of that."
It turns out that the Stray Cats "have a history" with the Pretenders, as Phantom put it.
"Chrissie Hynde and the original guys were one of the first people to ever come and see Stray Cats in little pubs when we started out in London," said Phantom, noting that Hynde also was an American making music in England. "She brought Ray Davies (of the Kinks) down to see us. And we opened up some shows for the Pretenders before we even had a record deal."
Phantom has a shorter history with ZZ Top front man Billy Gibbons, who sometimes hangs out at the Cat Club, the Hollywood nightclub that Phantom owns and operates.
Formed in the late 1970s by Long Island school buddies Jim McDonnell (Slim Jim Phantom) and Leon Drucker (aka Lee Rocker) with guitarist Setzer, the Stray Cats struggled on the New York scene. So they moved to London, where producer Dave Edmonds discovered them and helmed their 1981 U.K. debut featuring the hits "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut." But neither that album nor the ensuing "Gonna Ball" caught on in the States.
After the trio returned to New York in 1982 and released "Built for Speed" (a compilation of its first two discs), MTV gave a major push to "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut," now considered rock classics.
In 1984 Stray Cats broke up because Setzer didn't want to move to California. "It was just silly childish stuff," he said.
In `86 the Long Island boys with the pompadours regrouped for a covers-dominated disc, "Rock Therapy," which fizzled. The trio did three more albums plus an additional collection of covers before calling it quits in 1996.
All three Cats work in other bands. Bassist Rocker, who released his first solo album in 1994, tours with his own quartet. His next solo CD, "Black Cat Bone," is set for Aug. 14.
Phantom drums with three other combos—his eponymous trio; the Head Cat (with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister), and Dead Man Walking (with the Alarm's Mike Peters).
Setzer's main gig is the Brian Setzer Orchestra. For their next album, he is "taking classics and making them swing with my guitar on them." For help with arrangements, he turned to Hollywood veteran Frank Comstock, who had arranged the "Nutcracker Suite" that Setzer recorded a few years ago.
Recorded in Minneapolis and Hollywood, the CD is expected in September. Setzer also plans another Christmas tour with his orchestra. And he has a special gig in November, playing in the house band—with Jimmy Page, no less—for a tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis at the Rock `n' Roll of Fame.
"That's an honor," he said in an understatement.
With his plate full, Setzer isn't even thinking about doing a new Stray Cats album.
"We haven't spoken about recordings," he said, adding that the trio cut one studio track ("Mystery Train Kept a Rollin'") for a live CD of the 2004 British tour. "I don't know what Stray Cats means in 2007. I don't know if it's something people want."

The chances of knocking Davina McCall off the top of the fitness DVD charts over the years have always been slim.
But the queen of the exercise video has now been knocked from the No 1 perch by dieter Josie Gibson, a former winner of the Big Brother show the star hosted.
Davina's latest offering, Intense, is third in the Amazon charts, two spots behind the 27-year-old's 30-Second Slim.
Little could Davina, 45, have known when she celebrated Josie's triumph in the 2010 Big Brother that the woman who was a size 20 would return to nick her coveted top spot.
The former sales rep from Bristol inspired buyers by losing four stone in six months.
She vowed "never to be fat again" after launching her DVD late last year.
One industry insider said last night: "Josie's success in a few short weeks is staggering.
"Last week, sales were 64% higher than Davina's."
On her incredible slimming success, Josie said: "Before I lost weight I was nearly size 20 and my only exercise was partying. I've tried all the diets.
"I did the Cambridge Diet and lasted from the meeting until I got home.
"They gave me all the bits and pieces but I ate a week's worth of food on the spot, then stopped for a kebab."
Davina, mum to Holly, 11, Tilly, nine, and six-year-old Chester, has made millions from the sales of her DVDs over the past nine years.
She topped last year's New Year fitness charts with her eighth, Ultimate Target.
She has admitted gaining four stone with each pregnancy and having to work hard to lose the baby weight.
Davina – who is launching a fitness app for smartphones this year – said recently: "By stealth I have muscled my way into the fitness arena.
"Up until 25 the only fitness I did was clubbing. But now I'm a yo-yo sort of person.
"It's a constant thing I have to think about. It's really a pain in the a***."
Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred is No 2 in the charts.
Davina has sold 31,519 copies of Intense so far while Josie flogged 36,492 of her DVD.
It's the one area where they are both desperate to pile ON the pounds...

The Nicholas K show was interesting, to say the least. Based on the old 1970′s sci-fi movie "Soylent Green," the designers chose to take fashion to the next era where sustainability is paramount. And in keeping with the line, TIGI worked magic on long hair that had a beanie cap on it.
Everything is off to the side for spring and summer. We are back to straight, long hair, but since we've been seeing that for seasons upon seasons, we are now seeing some interesting things to DO with it. Catwalk by TIGI Global Creative Director Nick Irwin created bohemian side knots that are both functional and stylish.
Here is how he got the look:
- Prep dry hair with Catwalk by TIGI Session Series Sea Salt Spray and diffuse on medium heat, being careful to avoid frizz
- Next, spray Catwalk by TIGI Sleek Mystique Look-Lock Hairspray to ensure a smooth, sleek, frizz-free crown
- Loosely pull hair into a side ponytail behind the ear and secure with an elastic tie
- Separate the ponytail into two sections, spraying with Catwalk by TIGI Finishing Hairspray and then loosely tie the sections into a knot at the base of the head
- Secure by using another elastic tie and fasten through the middle of the knot, to create dimension
- Lastly, to achieve the perfect un-done look, diffuse the ends of the hair once more and pull out some pieces from the knot

I've seen him play at Peach Jam. Kid is the best prospect I have seen since Lebron.
He's not anywhere near as skilled as Durant was in high school, and he's probably not as physically gifted. He's more explosive vertically and stronger, but Durant's height and length, and just as importantly his fluidity, quickness and coordination given his height and length was alien like, even at Montrose.
That's your opinion, scouts disagree. Durant wasn't even the number 1 pick and this kid would be the number one pick out of high school. You're having revisionist history, Durant wasn't seen as a can't miss prospect.
Wiggins wouldn't be the number 1 pick either if he had to compete with Greg Oden, rest assured about that.
And when compared and competing with Oden for that number 1 pick(which I'd bet my house he'd lose quite easily if not unanimously) people would come with knocks on Wiggins aswell as they did on Durant, simply to justify picking the better prospect in Oden(who was the 2nd best prospect since Lebron as far as I'm concerned)
Alot depends on situation and who you're up against, in terms of how you're perceived as a prospect coming into the draft.
If Durant was put in Wiggins's situation and vice verse, things wouldn't be the same in terms of the perception people had for them as prospects coming into the draft.

I thought you might enjoy a small patch.
HTTP/1.1 includes a "Host:" header in requests. This is used to
identify the virtual host without consuming IP addresses for each host.
I just ran into a situation where I needed to index a site on Concentric's
network -- and Concentric's web sites are all virtual.
Solution: a one-line patch, appended to this message.
Yes, htdig claims HTTP/1.0 in requests, but I don't think there
are any servers fascist enough to return an error on seeing a
"Host:" header in such requests.

Due to budget cuts and lack of funding, Communities in Schools (CIS) of Brunswick County Inc. will close its Family Literacy Center in Leland and end the 21st Century Community Learning Center (21CCLC) After School programs at Belville, Lincoln and Supply elementary schools at the end of the school year.
"Our budget is down 32 percent from last year and 44 percent cumulatively over the last two," Bob Benedict, CIS finance officer, said in a press release.
The Brunswick County Schools' employee who filed a lawsuit against the board of education claiming an "unlawful retaliatory transfer and reassignment" has filed to dismiss the suit due to health reasons.
According to court documents, the attorney representing Sherry Dove filed notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice was filed May 18 in Brunswick County Superior Court. The notice said the dismissal is due to health reasons and Dove "has not rested her case."
The annual benefit tournament for The First Tee of Brunswick County will take place Sept. 21 at Thistle Golf Course in Calabash.
"This is the third year for this event, and we are delighted that Thistle Golf Club is hosting it once more," said Walt Stachura, tournament chairman. "Last year we made over $50,000 for The First Tee, despite the downward economy. This year we hope to make it even bigger and better."
Sandpiper Bay Golf and Country Club began its final stage of green renovations June 1. The Dan Maples designed 27-hole public golf course in Sunset Beach hired Modern Turf, from Rembert, S.C., to convert all putting greens to MiniVerde Ultradwarf Bermuda Grass from Sandpiper's 1987 original Penn Cross Bent Grass greens.
Carolina National Golf Club will have a summer-long junior golf promotion aimed at introducing the game at no cost to junior golfers.
Beginning June 7 and continuing through Sept. 6, a weekly complimentary golf clinic will be offered for junior golfers each Monday. The clinic will be from 11 a.m. to noon under the direction of Carolina National PGA certified instructor Cheryl Brankel. Advance registration is required and the number of participants will be limited. The clinic will cover fundamentals, etiquette, and rules.
The 2010 Brunswick Beacon Tournament of Champions will be played Nov. 13-14 at the Members Club at St. James Plantation. This will be the seventh Tournament of Champions and the second hosted by St. James.
Scott Harrell, publisher of The Brunswick Beacon, is delighted with the growth of the event over the past six years.
The Beachcombers played at Brierwood. Low gross: Stu Cleveland 79, Gary Gutheil 84, Bob Byrne 86 and Jim Beairsto 88. Low nets: Cleveland 62, Byrne and Beairsto 66, Gutheil and Dick Cecil 69.
Team (one low net on each hole): Byrne and Beairsto, 14-under; Reggie Auten and Ed Hennessey, 13 under; Cleveland and Hal Riebesehl, 11 under.
Golfer of the week was Cleveland.
I'm sick of bad golf. I hate shanks, skulls, chili-dips, three-puts and leavies in the bunker. I hate losing brand new golf balls in water hazards and hitting banana ball slices that sail out-of-bounds into flowerbeds in other people's yards.
Worst of all, I hear myself constantly complaining about my poor golf. Last week, one of my dear friends asked me whether I wanted "a little cheese with my whine?"
So now, by gosh and by golly, I'm doing something about it.
Fishing is heating up right now and should be strong throughout June until we hit the usual summertime doldrums, when the water temperature rises off the charts.
Currently, however, there is good fishing to be had on the piers and inshore as baitfish and shrimp fill the local waters and most fish species are active and aggressive.
Last week's offshore low pressure storm did not offer much opportunity for fishermen to get offshore, but by the weekend, the winds had subsided and the fish and fishermen were ready.
Nearshore, Yaupon Reef off of Yaupon Beach was a hot spot for king mackerel fishing action. The area typically seas good action from kings in the early summer, and the abundance of baitfish in the area has helped to make this year no exception.

The coveted Cecil B. DeMille prize which Robert De Niro accepted in recognition of his acting career fell to pieces.
Robert De Niro was left red-faced at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, January 16 after his lifetime achievement trophy fell to pieces. The Hollywood legend was honored with the coveted Cecil B. DeMille prize at the star-studded ceremony in Los Angeles.
He took to the stage to accept the award, but the trophy broke shortly afterwards and the embarrassed actor was forced to explain its absence to reporters backstage. De Niro said, "The top fell off. They warned me. They'll have to solder it back on."
When accepting the honor on the Sunday evening, De Niro said in his acceptance speech, "I'm sorry more members of the foreign press aren't with us tonight. But many were deported right before the show along with most of the waiters. And Javier Bardem."

Penn Brewing Bleier's Brew, Fantome Magic Ghost & Narragansett Porter
27 August 2011
I know these have very little to do with each other…but there were simply a TON of new label approvals today…
Pennsylvania Brewing Bleier's Brew..this 12oz lager is brewed in recognition of Pittsburg Steelers star Rocky Bleier.
Fantome Magic Ghost..this 8% ABV 750ml bottled brew looks like a Belgian ale brewed with green tea. I'm a huge fan of Fantome Saison, so I suspect this will be good.
Narragansett Porter…no real shocker here for this 16oz canned Porter except that it's a big 7% ABV.
