Lefsetz Letter☛"I thought the Who at the Super Bowl was a brilliant idea…[but]…Suddenly, classic rock is our father’s music"
I thought the Who at the Super Bowl was a brilliant idea. They killed at the 9/11 tribute concert. Emanating waves of power that blew hair back across the floor of Madison Square Garden.
But it’s ten years later. And those songs are ten years older. Forty one years old in the case of "Pinball Wizard", thirty eight and a half in the case of the "Who’s Next" standards. The classics have become TV show anthems. Suddenly, classic rock is our father’s music. And we’re our fathers.

Always a great read...
Django Reinhardt: 100 Years Of Hot Jazz : NPR
The word "genius" gets thrown around a lot in reference to artists and musicians — sometimes correctly, sometimes a little overzealously. But if it applies to anyone, it's Django Reinhardt.

Adrian Legg @ Patriot's Theater Trenton March 18....
Adrian Legg
Thursday, March 18th at 7pmSince the 1990 release of his first U.S. recording Guitars and Other Cathedrals , Adrian Legg has more than lived up to the expectations stirred by an ongoing avalanche of praise from critics, fans, top guitar mags and peers alike. Joe Satriani once said, "He's simply the best acoustic guitar player I've ever heard...he plays like he has hammers for fingers." The genius that the Boston Globe has called "technical brilliance paired with a troubadour's tale-weaving skill" led him from 1993-96 to be voted Best Fingerstyle Guitarist four years straight by the readers of Guitar Player magazine.
Tickets: $25.00

Watching Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts and trying to resist the urge to order it on bluray
It's great that Palladia carries it on Fios in hi def, but it's not
Dolby stereo! Gah!
Dolby stereo! Gah!
Listening to Bing Crosby while the girls bake cookies & Zach does laps around first floor yelling at the top of his lungs...
It's almost Christmas!
Shameless Amazon associate plug!
Found iTivo FTW... Now moving "Jeff Beck: Live at Ronnie Scott's" from my Tivo to my Mac
Yes, I found iTivo on the Tivo Community Forum 
Tivo does not support the Mac, so iTivo was the only option. It turns out that iTivo works better than Tivo's Windows software.
Now I can watch "Jeff Beck: Live at Ronnie Scott's" in my office on my new iMac i7 while I get some work done. Nothing like multi-tasking.
Apple Plots Reboot Of iTunes for Web - WSJ.com
ITunes is also facing pressure from competing services that allow users to listen to "streaming" music either cheaply or free on computers or portable, Internet-connected devices like the iPhone or iPod touch.

No kidding... I really like the the Lala website for streaming music but the LaLa Music Mover keeps choking on my > 11,000 music files I'm trying to sync with the service. I'm thinking there needs to be some major investment in infrastructure at LaLa.
