2014 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival

No Elvis, but Bruce will be there, Clapton will be there, Santana will be there, John Hiatt will be there, many, many more. I'll be there the first weekend only. Anyone else?

Iron & Wine w/Colexico

Did anyone else see them do Fairytale of New York on Jimmy Fallon. It was well done.

The book Thief is a beautiful and well acted movie. It really is everything the commercials claim the movie is. I believe that Emily Watson will win Best Supporting Actress.

Spectacle

I spent the weekend watching season one of Spectacle. I missed the Lou Reed episode the first time around, but now I've seen it. What's the news on a third season?

I believe I have just seen the 2013 Academy Award winner for best motion picture. 12 Years A Slave is a masterpiece. Belongs up there with Schindler's List

I remember seeing this band at The Paradise in Boston. I don't know why I went. I had never heard of them before. They were good.

Lumosity.com

This site has games to improve your memory. I've played some of them and I can see where they would help. The science behind this concept is sound, I suppose. However, there is a monthly charge to gain entry into most of the games. Does anyone here use this site? What's your consensus?

Re: WISE UP GHOST Deluxe

Received the deluxe version from Amazon. One of his best albums. Elvis' coolness quotient has taken a major rise. Not since Jack Klugman and Tony Randall have two heterosexual men (I don't think Tony was gay) made such a fine pair.

Re: Recently viewed films

Salinger is a well done documentary. His war years are well documented and future Salinger works, coming in 2015 and 2020, will be about characters in WWII and his Glass family. Other writers, some actors, Salinger's daughter, and his ex-wife are interviewed. The last portion of the film had to do ...

Re: EC & The Roots on Jimmy Fallon, Sep. 17 and 19, 2013

I've got a $2.00 round to NYC on Megabus that I purchased months ago that I don't know if I will take advantage of. It just so happens I'll be in NYC Sept 18-21. I tried to call the Fallon ticket line to no avail. Would it be worthwhile for me to stand in the standby line?

Re: EC Live at Apple's iPhone event

Apple stock went down $30.00. I'm not saying that Elvis' performance had anything to do with that. In fact, I'm pretty sure one has nothing to do with the other.

Re: Recent CD Purchases

Recently purchasd the Fiery Furnaces, Blueberry Boat . I've listened to it only once and I think the artist is an acquired taste that I just don't have yet. I can hear some brilliance in there so I'm sure with each listen I will like it more and more. I'm reading reviews of this album on Amazon and ...
