    If anyone's interested in a slightly longer review of the book "Rocking the
    Classics", take a look at the following:

    http://www.stlawu.edu/shor:http/Rush/books/macan.htm

    It's not mine, but since i just happened to visit that page the same day
    that book wasreferenced on the Jam, i felt a weird need to point it out.....

    Not sure about this. What you said above is exactly what I"m talking
    about. The "sector size" I was referring to is equal to 2352 byes (people),
    which is what I think you were talking about. For the record, I have
    several CDs from mp3s sans pops... <shrug>

    A lot of that is the conversion to MP3. You can use 256k+ MP3s to minimize
    this, but then the file sizes get too big for most modem users. Which is
    why I love being able to download the original in WAV format on the good
    'ol DSL line. :) There's a huge different between the "real thing" and MP3
    - most people don't realize this...

    I think a cool DT cover would be VH's "Hot for Teacher"

    I know JP doesn't do a whole lot of tapping stuff, but how cool would
    that be?

    Or how about "Sexual Healing"? :-)

    They do cover "Hot For Teacher", well, a little teaser-y bit of it
    anyway. They did, at least, at this tour's Philadelphia show.

    Another good theme to cover: "Fletch". Did you hear Chevy Chase died in a
    boating accident?

    I guess it's the fact that I'm a demented South Park fan, but when I saw
    James sing this at the 98 Christmas shows, I couldn't help but think of
    Cartman singing it and getting the hell shocked out of him cus he forgot

    Yer I borrowed this book once which was the Billboard Guide to Prog Rock or something.
    Basically it was just this guy going through his very extensive collection of Prog and detailed
    descriptions of the band and recommending different CDs. However once again theres hardly
    anything from after 1980, no prog metal. He also leaves out a few bands like Rush which is
    a bit strange. Worth picking up though if you're interested in getting into early Prog Rock.

    If it's the conversion to MP3 that makes the difference, then I suggest
    Bogie get a different encoder. I made some demos of my recording and it
    still sounds much better than Bogie's version (nothing against him, of
    course. ;))

    You can hear 30 second demos of the files I encoded at:

    http://cout.dhs.org/ft.mp3
    http://cout.dhs.org/tdoe.mp3
    http://cout.dhs.org/finallyfree.mp3

    They're all encoded at 192Kbps using AudioCatalyst 2.0.

    Well, I've got a book called "The Progressive Rock Files" by Jerry
    Lucky. Lots of obscure prog bands are mentioned here. It includes a CD
    with two live Pink Floyd tunes, "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Nick's
    Boogie," and two interviews. It's a good book - 304 pages with lots of
    pictures. I had to pay $27 for it paperback, though.

    Hope that helped!

    My sister gave me the same book Christmas last year. Rush, while not
    exactly a progrock band, wasn't the only one left out of the book. He
    didn't make any mention at all of any of the rather popular neoprog bands:
    Marillion, IQ, etc. Gentle Giant, whom many consider to be one of the
    cornerstones of prog, wasn't in there either, nor were many other bands
    much more influential and essential to the progressive rock movement than a
    lot of the ones he lists in there.

    The book is a good read in that it does have some detailed reviews of
    albums, but it shouldn't have been called "The Billboard Guide To
    Progressive Rock". Should've been: "My Music Collection: A Detailed
    Analysis". Calling it a guide to the genre infers that it's meant to sort
    of define it, and give a broad overview of the major players. It don't,
    aside from talking a little bit about its origins from psychedelia and its
    growth into the tamed-down, more accessible genre of "new age".

    It's no surprise that progmetal wasn't listed, though. A lot of oldschool
    prog diehards don't consider it a serious genre. Also, the author (forget
    his name) looks totally wasted in his "about the author" picture. Just my
    two scents.

    Metallica Files Copyright Lawsuit

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Heavy metal rock band Metallica
    has accused three universities and the makers of a
    popular Internet music sharing software of copyright
    infringement and racketeering.

    The federal lawsuit contends San Mateo, Calif.-based
    Napster Inc., the University of Southern California,
    Yale University and Indiana University encouraged
    users of Napster software to trade copyrighted
    material without the band's permission.

    "We take our craft - whether it be the music, the
    lyrics, or the photos and artwork very seriously, as
    do most artists," Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said
    in a statement on the Elektra Records Web site. "It is
    therefore sickening to know that our art is being
    traded like a commodity rather than the art that it
    is."

    Metallica alleges the universities allowed free trade
    of copyrighted songs to flourish by failing to block
    access to the Napster sharing program, thereby
    violating the federal Racketeering Influenced and
    Corrupt Organizations Act.

    "We regret that the band's management saw fit to issue
    a press release - and to file a lawsuit - without even
    attempting to contact Napster," said Eileen
    Richardson, the company's chief executive officer.
    "But if these people insist on turning it over to
    lawyers, we'll defend the case on that turf."

    Napster also has been sued by the Recording Industry
    Association of America in federal court in San
    Francisco. The trade group, which represents major
    recording labels, alleged copyright infringement by
    Napster and is seeking $100,000 for each song traded
    using Napster software.

    At least seven universities are known to have blocked
    access to Napster because its use by students
    downloading audio files have slowed their computer
    networks to a crawl.

    What fucking bullshit! BUYING and SELLING music is what makes music a
    commodity. This sickening trading Lars is talking about is what will give it
    freedom. The only reason to allow music as a commercial industry is so the
    artist gets compensation for his work, but we all know that doesn't happen
    anyway. *waiting for the flames*

    sending e-mail to the fools who're bidding $50 and up on DT sfam shows that
    with just a little patience and knowledge, they could obtain copies of for
    $10 or less, depending on who they're trading with.

    I've just hit three people who've participated in sending the Roseland, NYC
    show's price up to $80 with a message pointing them at

    http://www.snowhill.com/~bvaughn/tree.htm

    where the madtabber's set up a cd-r tree for folks to get that show for a
    far more friendly cost.....
