Baby shower

A baby shower is a party in which parents or expectant parents receive gifts for their newborn or expected child. By convention, a baby shower is intended to help parents get items that they need for their baby, such as baby clothes. It is a popular tradition in the United States and in other cultures, often influenced by American culture or media . In some countries this party is not celebrated until the baby is born.

Wedding shower is the same thing. You buy gifts for the couple that is getting married. Usually house wares, sexy nighties for the bride, and whatever else you can think of to make life "happy" for the "happy" couple. lol!

Americans are chock fulla fun.

Well...fun and fat babies...

cheers michelle, i guessw e hav the same things in blighty but they just aint called showers.

cool found that you can order ffrom japan's hmv website.

they have some cool game soundtracks-mgs 4, final fantasy's.

but might get stung on import tax:( i belive that can be quite high- nybody know? or had experience of buying off a foreign website?

cheers:)

in one interview when joe was asked why he left deep purple, he said they were to british.

whats he mean by that?i dont really get that answer, did he feel out of place?

JOE,

Do the Stu - Very nice break down of Super Colassal. I had to go back and listen to a couple songs to pick up on what you were saying, you have a good ear. What kind of stereo do you listen to your music on?

Do the Stu - next time definitely! if you don't want to go to Reno you can always drive 16 hours to El Paso and see the show here!!

It'll be much easier to stay in touch now that I finally gave in and installed Internet at home, after 6 years of not wanting to be able to work from home. Guess I got tired of having to go to the plant in the middle of the night to reboot a failed switch or server.

As for the LTE trip, I really don't expect them to tour again, they're getting up there age wise. So this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance, as soon as the schedule got worked out I got my tickets. BTW, don't know if you're aware, there is a very good quality boot of one of the LTE NY shows, at trialoftears.net

Zinc Master - Thanks for the AC/DC info. I said this last time you posted something about their new album, but I'll repeat myself...I can't believe it's been 10 years since Stiff Upper Lip...wow.

It looks like I'll be going to Reno...I talked to my dad and he sounds interested in going; and I bet my youngest brother will want to as well (I think you met them briefly at one of the pnemonia daze shows at the Fillmore in 2004). Joe hasn't played Sacramento in a few years, but if he does I bet my family will want to go there instead. We'll see...and I'll go to Reno regardless.

I hope this new venue is a good one. If I see a show there I may just drive to my parents' home (Folsom) that night instead of actually staying there...but I don't know yet.

And since you mention the end of Ride being a good basis for a new song...listen to the last 10 seconds of Super Colossal and then listen to Diddle-Y-A-Doo-Dat.

Anyway, what other songs are 10/10 for you? Surely we agree somewhere. Why? The Souls Of Distortion? Time Machine? Echo?

And about Joe and Deep Purple, yeah, I'd say he just felt a bit out of place. I think there's a bit of an age difference there too...Joe's about 10 years younger than some of those guys. Steve Morse is only a few years older than Joe, though...I guess the age thing didn't bother him as much.

I've pieced Joe's setlist together from various reviews that have been posted from the European tour. One of Stu's YouTube videos mentioned Out Of The Sunrise being dropped...so that's where my most recent question came from. I know it was dropped for some of the festival shows they played, but the comment came from before a show where they did a full set, as far as I know. So I'm wondering...

We get some very cool feedback into the comments from some myspace musicians.

Nick: Interesting what you say about EOC, that album has grown on me a lot...took about 4 months but it has!! North by the way (for me) is Lancashire/Liverpool/manchester/Preston. I tried out 6 guitars yesterday in my quest for the 'one'. A strat, tele, les paul, new Lodestone, £1300 musicman aannnd an RG. I loved the RG, it's a prestige model with hard case for £549!! Sounded so much more 'alive' than the music man in a back to back test. (and of course, you kinda 'endorse' the RG....so they must be good =D)

I'm not going to hold the odd similarity of 'Viva La Vida' against Coldplay, I still like the album and their stuff. Still think it's a mighty big 'coincedence'... =D

hey dts, ill have a think of and post the current REVAN 10/10 list.

10/10 in my books doesnt mean its perfect just bloody darn good, it will generally contain no bits i dislike and i keep returnong to.

also its an age thing, i love time machine and a tear ago it was 10/10 but ive played it to oblivion, so while i think its still a monster of a tune i dont think it s a current 10, however its still a 9/10.

or it could be moved into the REVAN classic status, where proven tracks go, which have transcended rating.

also any one using a mac? the computer i purchased last week was n iMAC, and its real good. ive been so impressed. the OS-x is brilliant, its simple to use. and as i do photographs its fantastic. it moves photoshop elements around like joe ripping through shalla bal.

highly recommended unless you love games and have nt got a console as its limited in choice of video games, but id still rather play games on a playstation or nintendo than anything.

talking of games, any sega dreamcast warhorses here.

Ok, so apparently my nickname should be Pip, because I am Pip from southpark.... I can't remember Pip though

Joe - have a blast downunder, you must be packed and itching to rock out already

Big Bunny - I've emailed you my message, but you may have it twice as the first one says it bounced so I resent just to be sure

Do The Stu - no worries, email if you want to spare everyone the pain LOL

Blue Moon - you should get your sis to go to the Sydney gig on the 15th and give Joe a big hug from 'you'...

Do the Stu: Well man, you,ve opened my eyes...I thought it was Joe playing on Top Gun Anthem for years, but it was always weard for me cause i never heard anything about it, i was always looking for an answer. Thanks again

I will add Starry Night to the soft song cd, what a great song!

look what i found searching youtube for steve stevens Top Gun Anthem...very funny (recommended)

WHY TOP GUN IS A GAY MOVIE?

Big Bunny, please tell Joe hello and hugs from Tracie and her son Chris. We are looking forward to the Fall US tour, but first we hope he has safe travels down under and to South America....and secondly that he has a great birthday in Aussie-land!! Eat plenty of good food, get lotsa rest, and hug a koala while yer there!

Oh.....and tell the aliens to BUG OFF, yer ours and we're keeping u here :) If they get nasty, ZZ can protect u with the death ray that I'm sure yer camcorder is equipped with...it has everything else, lol!

Cool Runnins Mon!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
