LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM PLANS NEXT SOLO ALBUM, HAS ‘NO IDEA’ WHEN FLEETWOOD MAC WILL RETURN<br />
<br />
by: Matt Wardlaw 3 hours ago<br />

<br />
Lindsey Buckingham has been on a productive tear in recent years, releasing three solo albums since 2006 including this year’s highly regarded ‘Seeds We Sow.’ Prior to 2006, there was a noticeable drought of solo material from the veteran singer-songwriter, whose last solo album ‘Out Of The Cradle’ had been been released in 1992.<br />
<br />
A good amount of Buckingham’s solo silence had to do with his renewed activity with Fleetwood Mac, but after finding a break in that action, he’s certainly been making good use of his Mac downtime and he tells Classic Rock magazine that he’s already looking towards what’s next.<br />
<br />
“I love what I’ve been able to achieve and I’m already thinking of another solo album.” As his recent output suggests, Buckingham is a big fan of striking while the iron is hot and while the time is there. “You’ve got to make the most of what you have.”<br />
<br />
Echoing what he told us in an earlier interview, fans shouldn’t hold their breath for any definite activity in the Fleetwood Mac camp in 2012. Buckingham says that there’s been no time to schedule anything and “I have no idea when we’ll be able to get together and start thinking about the next album or tour,” emphasizing that “it might be a little while yet.”<br />
<br />
But the light glimmers slightly as Buckingham allows that “I’d be surprised if we didn’t at least talk in 2012, although where that will lead who can tell?”<br />
<br />
‘Seeds We Sow’ features Buckingham’s take on ‘She Smiled Sweetly’ by the Rolling Stones and Lindsey says that his favorite Stones period was when Brian Jones was in the group. “He brought so many different musical ideas and instruments into the band.”<br />
<br />
His choice of ‘She Smiled Sweetly’ represents “all I love about the Stones at this time.” Found on the Stones’ ‘Between The Buttons’ album, which was released in 1967, Buckingham took great delight in the material. “They were moving away from their R&B roots and exploring psychedelic possibilities. It made them so exciting and for me this is when the band were at their best.”<br />

<br />
Hope everyone around here has had a great Christmas and/or Hannukah and/or Solstice and/or whatever you might celebrate, and that you all had a great year with better to come in 2012.<br />
<br />
While I was doing some Christmas shopping over the past weeks, I saw this book on the featured table in a couple of bookstores (actually, they were both B&Ns, I think). Wondering if anyone has had a look at it and has any opinions they'd like to share.<br />
<br />
The few Amazon reviews leave the impression that, as I'd expect, this is perhaps not so 'definitive' a history, nor does it contain much in the way of new insights for folks like us who know all this shit already. But it is quite a nice product in terms of the design -- a big, hefty tome chock-full of a lot of really nice photos.<br />
<br />
Anyone here pick this up, or receive it as a gift? Anyone know anything about the author?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh, I know.<br />
Whistling in the dark wind after the Grammy snubs- Stevie and Dave Stewart are in Australia or New Zealand, so long distance delegating would need to happen, just as it would need to be if they were in Los Angeles, and fast!   There is little time left to get the long-completed filming of the  "In Your Dreams' documentary into 2 theaters, one in New York, and one in Los Angeles and go for Academy Award nominations for  'Best Documentary' and 'Best Song'.<br />
Dave Stewart's statements months ago that he wanted the film to be shown in theaters could only be because he hoped for an Academy Award nomination, it never could have been his expectation for it to do any significant numbers at the box office.  It takes just two theaters; one in Los Angeles. and one in New York, for a film to be shown in for three days by months end to qualify for an Oscar nomination.<br />
 <br />
Though filming of the documentary was reported as having been finished long ago; the editing wasn't completed, and perhaps additional tour footage was filmed later.<br />
If the documentary still  ''isn't ready;''  just screen it, anyway, kitchen sink and all, don't tinker with it further.   There's nothing to lose but some money by having it considered for an Oscar and much to gain-  in LA, choices where it could be shown would be the former Tiffany Theater in the 8500 block of Sunset Blvd, which I think is now called The David Geffen Theater, and The Director's Guild Theater around the 72-7300 block of Sunset Blvd. The Screen Actor's Guild, up on Hollywood Blvd just east of LaBrea, has a theater in it and might qualify for public screenings, as the Director's Guild does. Not certain.   Also, long ago in the 80s and the 90s, the Egyptian Theater on Hollywood Blvd. would hold special 'meet the deadline' screenings for films that hadn't pre-booked theater time in advance, but i think maybe The Egyptian is no longer there, I'm not sure. <br />
For New York, someone will need to see which theaters may be available, I'm totally drawing a blank,  but want to say The Bijou, which may be wrong.  A small 'art house' theater that screens late nights, often after midnight would likely be easiest to get a 'long weekend' showing at. Obviously, a Cineplex would be pre-booked by now and would be the wrong movie theater for it to be shown at, anyway. <br />
It will take work on Stevie's and Dave's behalf by their management, agents and other hired hands to possibly even hand-deliver the documentary in whatever form it now is in- just submit it. <br />
Even if SN and DS were in LA right now, it would not be their responsibility to book theaters for Academy consideration. They need to call upon the people that are paid to make this happen if they desire it to, which isn't certain.  Mailing out ''for your consideration'' DVDs to voting member of The Motion Picture Academy also works wonders to get votes after the needed December public screenings  in LA and NY that are required to qualify for a nomination.  Some of the ''for your consideration'' screening copies that technically are not intended to be available for sale do wind up on eBay, and the crafty Academy members or relatives who sell them have made small fortunes in the past, selling Academy screener DVD's on eBay. <br />
As the  'In Your Dreams' documentary didn't go directly to stores; needless to say, there have been no home video dollars, and it would have had earned enough to make back some of the cost from having had the documentary filmed.<br />
 The four songs from the documentary that have already been seen and that are for sale on line is not the documentary, the full film has not been seen, so there's no disqualification, there.<br />
<br />
No Grammy noms?  Go for the ultimate award of the entertainment industry! Sure, it's a longshot, and yes, it will take 'scrambling' to find an available theater in LA and NY, but do it-  maybe ask for help from Jimmy Iovine,  or anyone that SN, DS, or their management and agents  know in the film division at Warner Brothers that would be willing to help their  subsidiary label, Reprise. It could reap a pay day. <br />
Just put the danged documentary as is and on time into movie theaters for it to have a chance, otherwise it's just a waste to have filmed it, and not have it in stores.  <br />
Who knows, maybe the 'best documentary' category is sparse this year and Stevie and Dave could win it.  But it has to have a weekend in theaters before the end of December to qualify.<br />
So, submit it for Best Documentary, and submit up to 3 songs from it for 'Best Song From A Motion Picture' - to me, 'Italian Summer' sounds like an Oscar nominee for 'best song,' or select the best of whichever song that has been filmed already for the documentary, with the exception of the songs that failed to get Grammy nominations like 'Secret Love' or 'Soldier's Angel'.   It seems that there is a video already filmed for 'Italian Summer' if ''The Sizzle Reel'' was accurate in showing that 'Italian Summer' was part of the documentary ''coming soon''.<br />
<br />
For SN to be an actual winner of an Oscar should the documentary win, she must be listed as a producer or co-producer.  A producer puts up money- so let Stevie Nicks  foot the half-million dollars that it will cost to get the documentary screened in two cities, last minute, and also pay for an effective  'For Your Consideration' ad campaign that she should entrust professionals to launch, with ads  in  Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, or whatever any new industry newspapers are that may exist that I don't know of. <br />
A producer would also foot some of the cost of home DVD screeners mailed to Academy voters so some of the manufacturing and mailing fees would fall directly on the producer's shoulders to pay for.  Dave Stewart directed the film, and the Oscar for Best Documentary goes to both the producer and the director. Dave, to be sure to cover his bases, could also invest into the movie showings or advertising campaign, and be both producer and director, but Stevie Nicks, for certain, must  be listed a producer in the film credits for an Oscar nomination or Oscar win  to be credited to her. Starring in it would not make her a nominee or winner.<br />
I fully expect that no-one has thought far enough ahead to get the documentary into theaters  within just scant weeks, but Dave had the idea for public screenings of the film back in May, so maybe it has been worked on all along.  Certainly, there wasn't an active, tactical plan in place to have the dvd sold to her fans in stores.  Lindsey had his DVD available for release within a month or so after his cd was released- but he never wanted it shown in movie theaters.<br />
Someone with good connections to The Ledge, please re-write this, as it  needs it,  and put it on The Ledge, with the key points to actually be read by tons of people.  In this instance, I do actually know of what I'm writing about.  <br />
Just to qualify myself; I see nothing wrong with a project being released that is artistically rewarding to an artist, with awards, adulation and sales far less important than there being a product that the artist is pleased with, and to hell with the rest of it all.  Glory is swell, but not all-important.<br />
Yet, I saw indications that awards for 'In Your Dreams' (or certainly, nominations) were a goal, and now there's just a very small window left opened to get the biggest award of them all.  She'd love it.   So would her fans love it, and Dave Stewart, as well.<br />
Tick tock, tick tock. <br />
 How can  you cure the blues of Grammy nomination snubs?  Get a fucking Oscar nomination!  <br />
Hurry up!  It was Dave Stewart's idea in the first place.  <br />
Just do it.  Fast!!!]]></description>

Yet, I saw indications that awards for 'In Your Dreams' (or certainly, nominations) were a goal, and now there's just a very small window left opened to get the biggest award of them all.  She'd love it.   So would her fans love it, and Dave Stewart, as well.<br />
Tick tock, tick tock. <br />
 How can  you cure the blues of Grammy nomination snubs?  Get a fucking Oscar nomination!  <br />
Hurry up!  It was Dave Stewart's idea in the first place.  <br />
Just do it.  Fast!!!]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[A new thread- innocuous enough, maybe. Won't delete it.  <br />
Anyone care to share what they think is the best deal, to bundle or not to bundle, or good deals they know of?  I'm finding AT&T really expensive, now that the 12 month 'deal' has expired, and only use their phone and Internet service.  No cable here.  And it's &#36;90ish a month for my house for just phone and high speed internet.<br />
My parents also use AT&T, for phone, cable and internet, and I know the &#36;219 monthly they pay is ridiculous, now that I have to manage their monthly accounts with my Dad hospitalized long term.<br />
I lean toward entirely getting rid of my phone and internet at my house, and just using my cell phone, and perhaps bringing my laptop to their house, since he has his at the hospital, now.<br />
Anyone have a phone or internet company other than AT&T that they find meets their needs and is cost efficient that they'd recommend?  Seems to me that for just phone and internet at my house, I should be able to find something in the &#36;50 a month ballpark. And I don't actually need my home phone. It's invasive, as  AT&T gives the number out to too many damned telemarketers, anyway, and the 'opt out' phone number or whatever it's called on the bill for being on 'do not call' somewhat minimizes the calls, but not very efficiently.  For this reason, alone, and there are others, I feel like 'who needs a home phone number anymore, anyway?'<br />
  My father wants things left 'as is' at their home, and though I have POA, it'd be a hassle to try to change their setup, since my name isn't on their account.<br />
So, what's a good deal?  Anyone? <br />
 (Yes, I will check Sunday newspaper ads and online websites on my own, but thought maybe it'd make for an interesting thread for people to share, compare, kvetch, advise, whatever.)  <br />
Thanks.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[let me just start by saying i'm very sad they canceled brothers and sisters. i thought it was one of the best well-rounded shows on tv. with that said, i haven't watched it's replacement, yet (once upon a time, right?) but my sister-in-law likes it. i still watch the oldies-grey's anatomy, private practice, desperate housewives. i'll add castle as a show i try to catch on mondays. <br />
<br />
my new favorite show, though, is dexter. does anyone watch it? i watched my very first episode last december, watched the first 5 seasons (on sidereel.com), then bought all the seasons and rewatched them. i made candy blood slides for the season 6 premiere and am loving this season!!! i didn't think anything could compare to season 4 with john lithgow but this season is creepy as hell :shocked: we also just bought the first 3 seasons of the west wing (behind, much?) and i borrowed the first season of true blood from a friend but haven't started it yet.<br />
<br />
anyone else?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There's an ad for this in the new issue of Classic Rock (and an interview with Lindsey but it's same old, same old). It says "Available as a DVD (with bonus CD of the show) and on Blu-ray on October 31".<br />
<br />
This sounds like there's only a bonus CD with the DVD and not the Blu-ray. On Amazon too it says 2 under number of discs for the DVD and only 1 for the Blu-ray.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know for sure? I want the CD but I'd also like the Blu-ray.]]></description>

<br />
Every open mic (as of last night, through January) I will be playing ALL ELEVEN SONGS from Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album "Rumours", in honor of it's thirty-fifth anniversary in 2012. I started last night with "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "Go Your Own Way". I encourage all who are Fleetwood Mac fans in the Pittsburgh to come out, share memorabilia, play your favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, and have a good time. The event is hosted by Matt Schlosser. The next night is November 5.<br />
I hope to see you all there!:applause:]]></description>
