Re: This is Scotty's Thread!
Yeah... we had fun... I had no idea that he would go all out when I requested "fun pictures."
ETA: I was perousing (sp?) MSM a few minutes ago (4am-ish my time) and Scotty was logged in... sadly, he didn't post about a super top secret show. Edited by: capricieux83 at: 7/10/06 5:05 am

CEE-LO IS CERTIFIABLE
Went and saw Gnarls_Barkley at the Avalon on Monday night. Fun show. It reminded me of two things:
1) Playing dress-up is always fun.
2) Cee-Lo is a trip.
And then THAT reminded me of two things:
1) The last time I saw Cee-Lo in concert, he kept lifting his shirt up to expose his belly, which looks something like this:
...but covered in tattoos.
2) Cee-Lo's been around for more than a decade with that sweet ass voice of his*. Just in case you didn't grow up listening to Goodie Mob in your friend's Chevrolet Silverado, I thought I'd recommend a few for those who like The Gnarls. And don't give me that "I don't listen to rap" garbage. St. Elsewhere has a track about necrophilia on it, and you forego the right to be preferential about anything after listening to it the second time.
Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections
Closet Freak
Gettin' Grown
Git Up, Git Out- Outkast, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
Black Ice- Goodie Mob, Still Standing (try to find the extended version)
Trans DF Express- Dungeon Family
In Due Time - Outkast f/ Cee-Lo, Soul Food Soundtrack
In Da Wind- Trick Daddy f/ Cee-Lo and Big Boi , Thug Holiday
No truly deep cuts, but a nice half-baker's-dozen-who-are-the-BDs?-rounded-up-to-the-nearest-integer tracks for you to taste and enjoy. Both of his solo albums are fun, and the early Goodie Mob stuff is as satisfying as Waffle House at 3am.
Ah, and that reminds me of one more thing:
1) If you're the 8th person to cover "Crazy", is it really such a good idea?

*his voice is so sweet that my man Lee claims Kanye specifically hired a backup singer on Roses because he sounded like Cee-Lo.

THROWBACK!
5 years. FIVE YEARS?? John was saying he found a bunch of old hard drives and found some pretty classic stuff from the early days. I was inspired to do the same and found this little gem, written exactly half a decade ago from Memphis, TN, at the start of our co-bill run with OAR. This was actually the second entry of 7/24/01 the first was my so-detailed-it's-almost-embarrassing review of Celebrity. What a fun, fun, fun time. Just three kids in a van tryin' to make it legal you know how it is. Anyway, enjoy, and if I can find anything that's actually interesting or well-written, I'll throw it atcha.

Memphis is alright with me. Cool little area of the country. I went to Graceland today -- it's one of those things that has to be done. But all the tourguides are so impatient. It's worse than the US Post Office in Athens, GA.
Tonight's show went off. I could be wrong, but I think we played to a bunch of new ears. And I'm not just saying that to be corny. Shucks, they could be stalkers and make us call the cobs.
Enough. An action-packed set this evening showcased many tracks from the compact disc entitled "Room For Squares." Also performed was a well-done rendition of Jimi Hendrix's Wind Cries Mary segued into an instrumental version of the Bob Marley favorite No Woman No Cry. The guys were having a grand time.
So people think I'm Richard from O.A.R. We Asians must look all alike to you non-Orientals. I see how it is. Well, you better count your chickens, cause our numbers are growing, and the East will rise again!
Off to dela's hometown tomorrow morning - Nawlins and the French 15 Minutes past the hour.
oh, ohoh, you're my cover girl

APPLE VS SCOTTY CROWE
Scotty Crowe wins. Every time.
This collaboration is the result of charging a device for 2 days and then having the device fail and poweroff because "no battery power remains" after about 12 minutes of use. Really frustrating.
But frustrating things have happened to me on jogs around the city lately. I had a man walk off of a bus and get in my face like he was going to punch me. I had an inebriated guy on a bicycle call me a racial slur. I saved a young girl's life from a creepy fellow in a Mercedes. All this in the last week and I STILL love LA.
Time to pack for Vegas.

Re: This is Scotty's Thread!
I know this may be a stupid question but...I assumed that since Scotty was blogging on JM.com that he actually might be involved with the tour in some way. No? Ok, then.
Re: This is Scotty's Thread!
Ok, so Scotty is now posting road journals from CA. I MISSED THEM. I feel like a jack-ass for saying what I did in the post above mine cause now it all makes sense. Without further ado:

9/26/06 - SAN DIEGO
September 26, 2006
Bayside Amphitheatre
San Diego, CA
Belief
Good Love is on the Way
Why Georgia
Vultures
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
Bigger Than My Body
Daughters
Waiting On The World To Change
Gravity
No Such Thing
In Repair
Does the feeling of standing at front of house, watching The Chad turn little knobs, looking up to see John soloing, JJ smoking a cigarette without using his hands, and David Ryan Harris rocking a mohawk EVER get old? Needless to say, there was an infinite amount of really badass stuff going on, but I caught myself really enjoying what was happening about 3 minutes into the set.
First off, how hot is a venue called "Bayside"? We actually got into a conversation about how little sense the "Bayside Tigers" meant. I guess Saved By The Bell was set in the Bay of Bengal? And "The Valley" was actually the "Ganges River Valley"? And all this time, I thought they were in the same city as Sly and the rest of the people from California Dreams.
Second, the weather was fantastic - breeze coming in over the water, creating a nice, crisp, late summer night. General admission created a cool feel too - sort of like a big, packed lawn with a grandstand at the back. And y'alls came to par-tay.
Belief was a perfect opener - throughout the night, I was mad impressed at everyone's knowledge of Continuum- y'all did your homework this past week. Georgia has to make you smile - just feels so good. Slow Dancing is one of my favorite tracks off the new record, and it was fantastic. Dynamite, even. The crowd did its thing in Waiting, which has a slightly different end that I was used to. Another one of my favorite new tunes, In Repair, finished the set. Robbie and DRH sprinkled in solos throughout the night on most of the tunes, sounds great. dela (of course) did his thing with the dancing and the bopping and the eating of the Jello Jigglers, yep.
Big up to the guys from Aloris for coming down (they helped us make this here website), and it was wonderful to see all my family members I've missed for so long. We hang again tomorrow, this time in the OC. Until tomorrow night, enjoy your mall.

9/27/06 - IRVINE
September 27, 2006
Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre
Irvine, CA
Hey guy-probably-sitting-in-row-G-or-H-in-Section-2, I know you love Orange County and all, but there's no need to "boo" and yell "this is IRVINE!!" when the venue is referenced to as being in "Los Angeles." Significant Digits come into play in three industries - Math, Science, and Touring. Very few venues are in metropolitan areas, so we have the tendency to round up. I, too, love the Angels, Adam Brody, and Kristin Cavalleri, but please give my man a little leeway when he talks about how much he loves it here in Los Angeles.
Now, Show and Tell:
John sat in during Sheryl's set in Favorite Mistake.
Belief
Good Love Be On The Way
Vultures
Why Georgia
Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
Bigger Than My Body
Daughters
Clarity
Gravity
No Such Thing
Waiting On The World To Change
encore
3x5 (solo acoustic)
Trust Myself (With Loving You)
In Repair
Belief is quickly becoming very becoming. Seriously, it feels like an old favorite and is a strong way to start the set. The spot on JJ was long overdue and sets off the tune. We got some fun little inserts in the songs: When The World Is Running Down in Good Love and The Eraser in Slow Dancing. dela and DRh were back to kicking it Rainbow Time style in Bigger Than My Body. Robbie led Daughters off with a great solo. Really nice. Clarity sounded great - I feel like the end of the song could go on for 10 more minutes and still feel like it ended too soon. Very cool new break in No Such Thing (including a killer solo by Mr. Ricky Peterson), and the crowd again made itself proud and loud in Waiting. We got what I am to believe is the first 3x5 of the tour, solo acoustic no less, before the 1-2 punch of the beautiful Trust Myself and In Repair.
LA - sorry, I mean Irvine - you got yourselves a rock show. This is the first time I've watched an entire show from a seat (maybe even the first time I've had a hard ticket assigned to me), and I was honestly blown away. The band sounds incredible and the new tunes bring life to the stage that I've never sensed before. Incredibly tight.
Wonderful night with wonderful people. See y'all in a few weeks.

Re: This is Scotty's Thread!
Anyone else notice that in over half the pics, Scotty's mouth is open? Maybe that's his signature pose. I wonder how many flies the boy has accidentally inhaled
I miss the old gang.
