:lol:

I imagine Buckner is the kind of scare easy guy who would get soooooo bumped off quick if you did Scream in a singer/songwriter vein.

I won't play a DD in a slot loader, which means computer only. I rip the audio side and it plays fine in my main system, but my car rarely plays them.

The stage cam was unmanned, but it's mine. It started on Jay, but the lights started flipping out the filter, so I moved it to Chris for about half an hour. When I changed tapes, I took the filter off and put it on Jay and Andrew again. Haven't digitized that tape yet, but the first one looks like this:

I may get to the other one later tonight.

I have a hard time playing Dualdisc in my car. My cd player, which is factory and new, plays the music half the time.

Anyone else?

Sticky: Who had the small mini-cam pointed up Jay's nose?

I guess if I felt compelled to stay close to the stage at shows he might get on my nerves, but I usually hang around back so he doesn't bother me.

For a while at the Pageant they were letting him on the side of the stage out of people's way. I guess that was just up to the band.


Random useless fact: He doens't drive... he exclusively uses public transportation or his friends to get around.

I saw him on Metrolink once. He was reading a book. It seemed kinda ironic.

We try and give them a decent multi-cam DVD that they can give away or sell at shows. We do it for free, just trying to help out. I have to admit that I didn't buy anything at Son Volt Sat. I would have if they had the regular CD, but they only had the DD, which I already bought. Need the regular CD for my car.

Sticky- You know Wiland right? Tell me if I need to be more specific- but I fwd the munsters video to him and I thought he mentioned he knew ya?

I needed one too.
It's hard to find.
I only found 1 copy at Newbury Comics in Harvard Square a few weeks ago (and they only had 2 copies of the DualDisc left after initially having a whole bunch).
If you include the iTunes i purchased the night before the album came out in stores, that makes essentially 4 versions that i now own.
:shock:
:D

Not in the least. I can get into almost any show I want free, but unless I videotape, I pay. Even then I usually buy a CD or t-shirt just to help the bands. I don't try and scam them for free.

I think he's a pretty decent guy, but he's gotten full of himself.

cheers
Alright Sticky-
Now I'm jealous of you. And yes- If I got in for free I'd by the merch as well.
