Another batch of strange brew from El Q



Once again it’s on! Looking like the new age Gandhi and becoming the online change I wish to surf. Stocking the Rolodex and filing SBC complaint forms to handle my bad business, the show goes on and on and on…shipping calculators not included!

August looks to be Jerry Garcia month over at Rhino, as they have a nice set of material scheduled for release this month in honor of the man and his music. The first DVD from the Jerry Garcia Band entitled “Live at Shorline” is out now. It was recorded on September 1, 1990 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View ,CA. This show took the place of a scheduled Grateful Dead show that was cancelled due to the death of Brent Mydland, the legendary keyboard player for the GD. The fill in performance of the Jerry Garcia Band makes this even more special to Deadhead and music fans in general.

On the 23rd of this month, Rhino will release “The Jerry Garcia Collection, Vol. 1: Legion Of Mary”. The Legion of Mary was a group formed by Garcia in the seventies, and this is a rare chance to listen to the band in their prime. Check the links below for all the info. More to come soon!

E-Qaeda TV

aka International Terrorist web sites hosted in NORTH CAROLINA for 9.99 a month!

A very interesting report on Washington Post.com, about Al-Qaeda and their internet skills. Watch "Indexing Al Qaeda Online" and "Al Qaeda's New Base, The Internet" and read the "The Encyclopedia of Jihad" to put some spike in your morning coffee. The fact that terrorist recruit on the internet is trumped by the sobering fact that their numbers and websites are growing. It's getting critical folks...watch and learn.
