Other notables: Molson Dry Sleemans Cream Ale Molson Canadian That's my real fav when it comes to Canadian Beer. I'd like to check out the Sleemans product. I like all molson products except for the Ice and the Extra Strenght product. I for one always loved Molson Brador and John Labatts Extra Stock.

QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Nov 24 2006, 04:50 PM) "Telemark skis" were one of the things on Neil Peart's wish list, as seen in the Presto tour book (1990). I don't know if he ever got a pair, but given his money, he probably did. I never noticed that! I knew Neil was into cross country skiing so that makes perfect sense.

QUOTE (goose @ Nov 24 2006, 05:40 PM) [/quote] Been to Big White, Silverstar & Apex several times. My inlaws have a cabin at Baldy, outside of Osoyoos. Small but fun hill. Great snow in the BC interior! Goose, have you been on the hill yet this year?

QUOTE (-D-RocK- @ Nov 24 2006, 04:39 PM) I'd have to say telemarking is the most skillful way of getting down a mountain. As a downhiller for almost 30 years, I tried telemarking only once and just couldn't do it. For fantastic skiing, try these hills in BC/Alberta: Whistler/Blackcomb, BC Big White, Kelowna BC Panarama, Invermere BC Kimberley BC, (my home town) Fernie BC, Sunshine, Banff AB Lake Louise AB Try again, really its not that hard. It is humbling ( and exciting) though going from an expert alpine skier to wiping out on the green slopes again. Man, would I love to ski at any of the ski areas in BC. Talk about terrain and sick amounts of snow. Maybe someyear.

I was pissed off as the game wasn't even shown here in my viewing area! WTF?

I'll probably never buy the other two GNR CDs I need, Lies and Live Era. I say that because I plan on buying them when I buy Chinese Democracy. Yeah, obviously their original material is better, but like you said for only $6 how could you go wrong! I read today that Chinese Democracy now probably won't be released until 2007. Who really knows though? Have you heard the stuff that's leaked, IRS, Better, etc? It's really f***ing good. A lot better than I was expecting it to be. Sort of like GNR meets industrial. I have never heard anything that has leaked. Not that I wouldn't like to. Don't know where to look for that stuff. In fact I am so techonlogically challenged I still can't figure out FLAC files!

In the paper today. This is good news IMO as they had been contracting out some of the beers to a brewery in Maryland. Highland Brewing Co. finally moves into new digs by Tony Kiss published November 22, 2006 12:15 am It took longer than expected. And I don't even want to think about how much it cost. A lot. But they're finally making beer at the new Highland Brewing Co. plant in East Asheville. It's a historic time in the annals of local brewing. Asheville's first and biggest microbrewery is taking the next step that will hopefully keep it in business for years to come. The timing is perfect with Thanksgiving here. For the longest time, Highland has been planning this move. The old plant downtown on Biltmore Avenue couldn't make enough beer to keep up with demand. And so Highland founder Oscar Wong started looking for a new location, finally picking a place at the Blue Ridge Motion Pictures lot. Still, it took a while to get this cavernous room transformed into a working brewery. Tanks and equipment had to be carted in. A chill room had to be constructed. Everything had to be hooked up. Highland's brew guru, John Lyda, sweated this one out but got it all pieced together with a lot of assistance. Finally, it was all ready to go. And the first test beer to roll through the system was a batch of Highland's St. Terese Pale Ale - its lightest product - so that any flaws in the system would be obvious in the brew. Meanwhile, the old downtown plant is being dismantled day by day. There's still a final brew in the tanks - Highland's Cold Mountain Winter Ale, which will be bottled by hand in 22-ounce and liter bottles. We've spent a lot of time down there. Maybe before they turn off the lights, we'll have one last brew and toast the memories. This is the opinion of entertainment editor Tony Kiss, who writes his Beer Guy column every other Wednesday. His Brew of the Week feature appears Fridays in the Take 5 entertainment section. E-mail tkiss@CITIZEN-TIMES.com. http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll...heme=THEBEERGUY

quit slacking and get to cracking (open a few yingies, that is)

Thats very cool! When I first moved to Asheville I went downtown looking for the Highlands Brewery. I was walking all around and finally said screw it. I went into Barley's and had a few beers. When I was leaving, I asked the bartender where the hell is the Highlands Brewery. He said downstairs. One of my favorite Breweries in Asheville is the Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company. Most locals refer to to it as the Brew and View. Awesome food and beer. A portion of this building is still a movie theater, which shows recent movies for only $2 a ticket. http://www.ashevillepizza.com/

Its a 26 minute video of Petrucci and In the very beginning he talks about what he learned from Lifeson. Its from Rushisaband.com, one of the very best sources of Rush on the web! http://www.rushisaband.com/video.php?id=656 Awesome! I Immediately thought of your thread when I saw that video. Its cool all the nice things he has to say abut Rush. Not being a player I was lost during his discussions but always love to watch him play!

QUOTE (BigG @ Nov 22 2006, 09:00 AM) Thanks Tangdog I totally didn't know about Nodens - that sounds just my thing. I'm really enjoying Dream Machine stuff - it's great to hear real jamming and playing with communication. Eat Static was good stuff - a lot of the electronic music around that time was very psych (the 1990s version of pshycadelia really) and they add creativity and a bit more of a than just 4 on the 4. Get shows / parties too If you check out Nodens let me know what you think please. I think eventually I will order some of their material. Heres a link to a myspace page I found while searching for some eat static. The fourth song is a remix of the Ozrics song chewier- mixed by Eat Static. http://www.myspace.com/ozrictentaclesuk '> http://www.myspace.com/ozrictentaclesuk

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Nov 21 2006, 06:21 PM) Similarly, I haven't banned Tom Cruise movies just because he's nuts or Robert Downey Jr. because he was a drug addict for years. or anything like that. IMO Downey was only hurting himself and no else. Obviously his substance abuse did negatively affect his friends and family but its a different thing altogether in my book. I can forgive and understand addiction a lot easier than hatred/racism.

QUOTE (Gompers @ Nov 21 2006, 04:55 PM) I gave the new Spock's Beard a listen. The first cut sounds almost exactly like their old stuff. After that, it is still a solid album. I need to give it a few more listens. I was disappointed in the lack of flashy odd meter stuff. I had hoped for more. Cool, I had forgotten about this release. Might have to track it down tomorrow.

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Nov 21 2006, 02:02 AM) i watched the apology which was kind of sad, but i did not watch the incident itself, nor i doubt will i. reading it was bad enough, i don't need to see it too. how fast does it take to ruin a career? apparently 3 minutes... Its was bad enough to read it but I finally saw the video last night and its so much worse to see on film. Really hateful.

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Nov 21 2006, 11:49 AM) You know, I think there actually is a positive thing we can take from this situation. Look at the enormous backlash against Mel Gibson for his tirade, and against Michael Richards for his. One could use it as examples of how far we've come as a country towards intolerance against prejudice and racism. The fact that this kind of talk and behavior is so abhorred shows that we've become a more tolerant and accepting nation, especially when compared to the not too distant past. We still have a tremdously long way to go, but at least it's indicative of progress. Mind you, I'd rather neither event had happened, but sometimes you can most easily see the positive by contrasting it with the negative. Thats a very good point.

QUOTE (BigG @ Nov 21 2006, 08:03 AM) Geek fact: The drummer on Afterswish went on to become a top funk drummer playing with Jamiroqui. I love hearing how great he was on pure natural talent before becoming the polished pro I'd forgotten that. Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton formed a group called "Eat Static" after leaving the tentacles. Ed Wynne and Joie Hinton also have a project called Nodens Ictus which is entirely ambient. Several ex-members of the Tentacles have formed a group called Dream Machine. The songs I've heard on myspace and youtube seem promising. heres a link to the Dream Maching myspace page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=74814570

QUOTE (The Rocinante @ Nov 20 2006, 09:31 PM) QUOTE (tangdog @ Nov 20 2006, 02:08 PM) When I hear all this nonsense about their wedding I have only one thing to say: Remember the episode on the Simpsons when Troy McClure marries Selma? Thanks and I am glad someone got the somewhat obscure Simpsons reference. First off RIP in Phil Hartman, he was a true comdic genius. To those unfamiliar with that episode, Troy McClure is a movie star who in an attempt to mask his homosexuality marries Selma as a way to prove he is not gay.
