Greetings from Oakdale, Minnesota! Technically part of St Paul, very close to the MN - Wisconsin border. Damn it's so green over here...and it's 20 degrees cooler than Juarez, so can't complain there either.
Skippygirl: Thanks! So what exactly is the difference between rugby and Australian rules football?? Or is it the same thing?
Austin: We do get MLS in Juarez / El Paso, Univision has an over-the-air station in El Paso and they broadcast at least one game weekly. I think the majority of the US soccer clubs emphasize defense over offense, which makes for a less exciting experience for the spectator. The Juarez team (Juarez Indios) has a coach who lives and dies by that same philosophy (sp?) and it's sometimes painful to watch their games. Yesterday was one of those days (0-0 tie), between the heat, the hangover and the game I was dozing off like crazy...

Do The Stu - great, can I get hold of copies of these CD's anywhere do you think?
I did sucessfully login and stream the Rock Nation Radio site but iti wasn't the show the Australian guy said he was doing it was another DJ who I ended up chatting with in the chat room he was from Oklahoma and real nice, loved Joe too, has seen him over 15 times etc, I'm sure he'll now add Chickenfoot to his playlist :0).
elpp - oh dear, rugby is VERY different to AFL. Rugby is like gridiron where they form a line and run with the ball and throw it to each other until someone can get it over their end line, whilst they dodge being crunched by the opposition and thrown to the ground. Every now and again a nominated player kicks it.
It's played more widely around the world hence there is a Rugby World Cup.
AFL is the running, kicking and passing game played on a giant oval with 18 per side, anybody can kick, catch and pass and it goes for four 25 minute quarters plus stoppage time. Really only played in Australia and the Irish play the Gaelic version.

roo - I didn't join T2J until 2000, so I wouldn't know about any CDs from before that time. When the Satchurated Feedback project started, though, I don't remember anyone saying anything about previous CDs...but there obviously were some if you have them. It'd be great if you could give us some more info.
elpp - It's not so much the 0-0 tie that bugs me, it's the lower quality of play. It just isn't fun to watch someone drive toward the goal, and then run into a defender and give up the ball because his teammates can't get into position fast enough.
I enjoy watching the sport, at a minimum because it's so popular in the rest of the world. But MLS has been around for 15 years or so now (it started right after the US hosted the World Cup) and the level of play hasn't gotten any better. Argh...
Skippygirl - I don't know much about the two T2J CDs...I wrote the liner notes for the first one, but that's pretty much where my involvement ended. The project's website was http://www.talk2joe.com/, but I don't know if the links there still work. I think death cube k helped run the project back then...maybe he can add to this.

JSPhil: No worries...and I'm not going to even hazard a guess as to what is causing the perspiration :) Fantastic last 1km yesterday wasn't it? Cav really did show just how fast he is...he absolutely blew the rest of them away! Off to have a look at a Trek 1.7 later...which is looking like just about the only one I can get my mitts on. It's that awkward time of the year when everyone's sold out of 2009 stock but hasn't quite got hold of 2010 stock yet :-/ Still, barring problems like it being the wrong size I am looking to buy the Trek. :)
DoTheStu: I like 'No Line...' quite a lot, there are some realy gems on it, but I somehow keep missing it as well...so to rectify that I am now going to have a listen :)
Skippy: AFL sounds like a mix of football, rugby and gang warfare to be honest...think we'll stick to cricket....(now there's an opener for you ;)
Listening to: Magnificent by U2

I'm curious about how well your guitars hold up to your playing. I've heard about guitarists playing instruments to death... Do you have a stock pile of spent instruments that you salvage parts from or do you have maintenance work "tune-ups" on your guitars often? Is your playing style even that demanding on your instruments - I've read of EVH completely wrecking the frets on his older guitars in one touring!
I think Becjr has a very interesting point here... Can anyone else add any input into this one? Joe or Mike perhaps?
NJBeast - I remember the G3 with Robert Fripp and I have to say that for me it was a refreshing change and I actually enjoyed what he did. Not to say that it was everybody's cup of tea...
SkippyGirl - I was on both of the T2J CD's and I do post from time... I mainly just check in daily and see what the topic on conversations are...
Cheers,
Aarren

Skippygirl yep there were 2 cd's SF was the first .. and Echo was the second.. they have about 3/4's of a cd's worth of cool cover songs for a third and final one since Joe gave permission to use his music , the covers had to be a different style from the original .. if they ever get enough .. part of the rules for T2J cd was you had to have at least one post over here.
