    • Love the Shaw Bros.! Also, much later on in HK cinema, check out John Woo's "Hard Boiled". The movie pretty much invented the close quarters gunfight and the slow-mo shoot 'n dive.

    • Here's a video I did for the Montreal Expos in 1999, in an ill-fated attempt to save baseball in Montreal. I shot the super 8 stuff, wrote the song and even though I didn't get paid much, the video played on the Jumbotron at Le Stade Olympique for three seasons (until everybody in the second verse got traded and Felipe Alou got fired), and I got media passes so I could drink $2 Labatt's in the press box with Bill Lee. Hope you dig it: http://garagepunk.ning.com/video/vladimir-guerrero-music-video

    • Some years ago I bought a double album titled "The Sore Losers",the soundtrack of the same-titled movie of J.Michael McCarthy.Any track of 68 comeback,Mick Collins,Makers,Guitar wolf,Jack Oblivian songs is divided by some movie's dialogue,in the way of some podcasts here. I can't say anything about the movie I've never seen,'cause maybe never published in Italy, or I've never search enough.But I'd like to know if someone have seen it,his own impressions about it, and if the film maker had others released.

    • I hear that had a lot of factual errors, but maybe it's been corrected with newer pressings. For instance, they claim the Bruisers were a white power band, when they weren't, etc. Jannell said:

    • Right now I'm reading The Neon Wilderness by Nelson Algren and before that it was his Chicago: City on the Make. Also, I picked up a copy of I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, which was probably my first favorite book of all time, but being for preschoolers I don't think it really counts.

    • Any Ellroy fans here? I just finished reading his latest, Blood's a Rover and, as expected, it's an epic motherfucker. I love how most his heroes are corrupt cops/rogue FBI agents who have the hots for lefty chicks. (Although Joan, the "Red Goddess" of this book made me miss Barb, the "Twist" singer/bimbo of American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand.)

    • You might consider a digital Numark TTUSB from Musiciansfriend.com http://xrl.in/3qnz a nice little player that has good sound for the price, you can find deals on these if you want. (I know you'll know where to look) If you are patient, then you should hit up some garage (no pun) or estate sales. Most peeps will tell you that is where the gold is. Technics, Bang & Olufsen, Marantz, made some good stuff Teac, Sony, Pioneer made good things too, but look out for a player with too many features as they may cause more problems. Direct drives have some advantages but if you get a belt drive make sure you find a replacement belt as they become stretched or worn. Most importantly if you buy an older model make sure you buy a player with cartridge you can replace, as many models have a one piece plastic arm and are only capable of replacing a needle that are usually plastic. (not recommended) On another note.

    • I'd say Crosleys are probably not the best idea.

      Not sure how cheaply you can get a Technics these days but the one I'm still using cost just a hundred and something almost twenty years ago.

    • Update: in case anyone else was interested in the whole live broadcast thing - I finally tried Ubroadcast and it worked out so-so. I think it would have been better if I'd had a) A 2nd external soundcard and b) a secure internet connection at the bar I was broadcasting from. I paid the 6.95 for a plan that allows up to 500 listeners and some storage. Not a bad price. audio quality wasn't the greatest - but that was on my end I'm pretty sure. Anyhow, I'm gonna do more! I'm hooked!
