C4RT on HDNet

Folks... aparently that dumb Felt show (yes, Dawn, it was the one with the cocaine jokes) is going to be aired on HDNet this coming Sunday at 8:00 and 11:00. If any of you have any friends with HDTV, tell me. I just e-mailed HDNet owner Mark Cuban to see if there's anyway to get a DVD of said show. Yes, that Mark Cuban.

Cubes took 10 minutes to respond... No dice on getting a DVD. Anybody have any HDTV leads?

screenprint from the .pdf guide posted on hdnet.com:(ok ok I admit: I added the red eyeliner) I will rally the troops. I think Im confident we can obtain a video read out of this c4rt transmission. ...developing _______________________________

a bud of mine has an HDTV set in Barrington NH (near UNH / seacoast). Metrocast cable is their provider, and I just confirmed that HDNET is in their offering. We're not too far off from a Tivo of this motherfucker, which is just one step away from a dvd burn. yow! _______________________________

*snicker* funky rock. BTW, after the Ralph's Diner show on Sat. this dude came up to praise the set and suggest a gig with his band. His band sounding like "Early Bungle, early R.H.C.P." I think I heard Ed's eyes roll.

nothing at all wrong with early RHCP or Bungle: Does anyone remember Freaky Styley or the Uplift Mofo Party Plan? Catholic School Girls Rule! Bob dylan covers! _______________________________

I think I'm with you on this one. However, I'm not ready to test this theory... Bungle I'm sure will pass muster; not sure "Yertle The Turtle" will sound so good 15 years after the fact.

While I have Freaky Styley and Uplift Mofo, I continue to enjoy all of Mother's Milk, most of BloodSugarSexMagic, and even a couple tracks off of One Hot Minute.

Ahhh, to corporate for you Frame?

Just to be clear: I personally enjoy the "funky rock" genre. (Praxis, right?) It's just that I don't see Ed McNamara or Brendan Quigley aspiring to the label. Or any label for that matter. However, a TV listing needs some kind of descriptive tag, especially for a band you've probably never heard before. "time independent rock"

It doesn't matter what label something's on if it sucks.

I just e-mailed Cubes re: party.

I was playing devil's advocate yesterday. "Funky rock" coming up in a conversation at a party or what have you: If I was in a band and someone used that type of moniker, It would elicit an image of a backwards- white cotton baseball hat and flannel wearing ATO (Or someother fraternal org) brother from my UNH days... I remember the 1994 Green Day / Pansy Division show: 2 crowds split exactly down the middle in the Field house. A sea of white hats on the left, the "misunderstood" (i.e. piercings, dyed hair, anti-bathers, spike / dog tag wearers, etc on the right. I was working security. I just stood 2 the sound console and made sure no one dove into it... _______________________________
