co-workers, family, and friends have all referred to my iPod as "jayson's life support system." when it's off, there's still always music playing in my head, and with my memory it's usually note for note as it would be if i had the real thing on. i truly believe when the music in my head stops, i will die.

everybody who loves Dylan (or at least is aware of his existence) should watch this NOW:

excellent find mr bear

**Frunobulax** · 07-09-2009 09:23 AM

A Bit of Fry and Laurie was an remains a great show. So happy that this has been posted.

**Seymour_Glass** · 07-09-2009 09:37 AM

That was rather funny.

**jayson** · 07-09-2009 09:39 AM

it was and aside from his enormous comedic and dramatic skills, laurie also happens to be a very talented musician. some of the best moments on house have come when they've allowed him to play piano or guitar. he often impresses the hell out of me with how good he really is. he could easily have gone that route with his career and been very successful.

**Frunobulax** · 07-09-2009 10:05 AM

He also played piano and sang quite a bit on Jeeves and Wooster.

**Seymour_Glass** · 07-09-2009 10:15 AM

He also looks like my eighth grade English teacher.

**jayson** · 07-09-2009 11:20 AM

the piano playing is always brilliant, but the one that really got my attention was the house that ended with him at home playing donovan's "season of the witch" on that gold les paul he's got. he is a kick ass guitar player.

Wow. Scarey stuff. Hopefully, all will turn out fine. Sending :goodmind:

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch has 'very treatable' cancer

NEW YORK – In an upbeat video, Beastie Boy Adam "MCA" Yauch announced via the group's Web site that he has a "very treatable" cancerous tumor in his salivary gland and a nearby lymph node.

As a result, the band announced Monday it is canceling its tour dates and postponing the release of their upcoming album, "Hot Sauce Committee Part 1."

"About two months ago I started feeling a little lump in my throat," Yauch, seated next to fellow Beastie Boy Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz, said in his video message on the site. "I started think I should talk to my doctor ... and he sent me to a specialist, and they did tests, and I actually have a form of cancer."

Yauch, 43, said he will likely undergo surgery next week, followed up by some form of radiation.

"The good news is that they did scans of my whole body and it's only localized this one place, and it's not in a place that effects my voice, so that's nice," he said with a laugh. "This is something that's very treatable in most cases, they're able to completely get rid of it and people don't have continuing problems with it and it's not anywhere else in my body."

Yauch is not only part of the pioneering rap trio, but has also emerged as a film producer.

**sarajean** · 07-20-2009 11:57 AM

yeah, he seemed rather upbeat in the video.

**Ruthful** · 07-24-2009 08:10 PM

Okay, so tonight I headed over to the Prospect Park band shell in order to see Buckwheat Zydeco, which was in fine form, by the way. The only slightly offbeat moment was when the band was going through one of those traditional back-and-forths with the audience, and the guitarist asked, unprompted, HOW ARE YOU TONIGHT, BROOKLYN?!

So far so good, right? That's what I thought, until he continued.

HOW WE DOING TONIGHT, BUSHWICK?!

Now, there are five or six distinct neighborhoods in my borough that overlap with Prospect Park, and I'm afraid that Bushwick is not one of them.

Why do bands on tour have to be so ambitious, re: audience interaction?

**Seymour_Glass** · 08-15-2009 08:59 PM

hey, i'm just dro0ing in to say that Minus the Bear has taken over my iPod. That is all.

**cody44** · 08-20-2009 08:21 PM

Since we have a whole thread dedicated to the band Radiohead, I figured why not make one for MUSE. Since they have a new album (The Resistance) dropping this September, I figured us MUSE fans would want to have a spot to talk about it.

Are their any other Muse fans out there?

I have to say, the new single Uprising has a different yet similar sound. I really enjoy it.

For your enjoyment:

Oh yeah, and the new single for those who haven't heard it yet.

I ADORE Muse, cant wait for their new album

**Ruthful** · 08-30-2009 05:43 AM

Does anyone think it's kind of weird that Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney-and George Harrison's widow, I guess-are all buddy-buddy now that they're collaborating on the Rock Band/Guitar Hero for The Beatles?

For those of you who are curious, here's a great NYT Magazine article about it:

**cody44** · 09-15-2009 05:55 PM

Has anyone heard it yet? I would love to hear some opinions. I have heard it twice through and I thoroughly enjoy it, and I think that the theme is very well done, very 1984-esq. It even had a few references to the book, United States of Eurasia, and the though police.

Well, better give it another go around before I make my final judgement.

**sarah** · 09-15-2009 06:35 PM

I got turned onto MUSE when I heard their song on guitar hero a year or so ago.

love them. Actually, I have my pandora station set to them now.

**IWasSentWest** · 09-15-2009 08:43 PM

love muse. hoping there new album really hits the old spots

**flaggwalkstheline** · 09-15-2009 09:19 PM

arg
I cant get it for a few weeks!

**Spencer** · 09-16-2009 12:58 PM

I just heard about them on Glenn Beck this morning, (for my liberal friends, my apologies, Beck loves the band

), he played "The United States of Eurasia". I liked it, and will be sure to check out more!

**Spencer** · 09-18-2009 05:14 AM

I picked it up yesterday, I've heard everything except the symphony at the end. I love it so far, great stuff!

see thats what makes muse so cool, their music and mathew bellamy's conspiracy theories have the power to unite people of all political ideologies

**Ka-mai** · 10-13-2009 05:55 PM

Anyone check out the new Third Eye Blind album?

I think it's pretty good, but not great. I don't think their sound has evolved very much since they started, which is kind of a downer. Also they still have a few unreleased songs like Persephone (Matt's favorite) which they could have fleshed this out with, and they just didn't bother.
