    the juggler is a very nice touch.  the man has skills and style

     

    If you like jugglers as element of a live performance, here is a excerpt of a Grateful Dead concert in Essen, Germany, organized and recorded by German TV (Rockpalast). During a break for the band, they had the juggling troupe "The Bothers Karamazov" on stage (starting around 45:00). Even more remarkable about this concert, after the juggling and drum break, they had a very famous guest guitarist on stage (starting around 56:15).

  2. Gentle Giant had a unique mix of progressive/folk/baroque elements. I saw them once in concert, and I was baffled to see how many different types of instrument each band member would play. Here they get out the recorders in the last three minutes...

     

     

    And then they add the strings...

  3. A folk/rock/indie band from Iceland (total population 370,000). Of Monsters And Men bear similarities to the most famous Icelandic band, the Sugarcubes. Front woman Nanna Bryndis even looks like Bjork's younger sister...

    This title of this song is often (incorrectly) given as "What's Going On", because that are the actual lyrics. This reminds me of other, IMHO better songs with that title. Of course, there is Marvin Gaye, but that is not my kind of music. However, I have to offer:

     

    The Taste w/ Rory Gallagher

     

     

    and Hüsker Dü (sorry, no video)

    I have Sunday ticket so (no exaggeration)


    I watch the Mix channel all day on the off time of the Bills game or during commercials (during Bills games)

     

    then watch every Thursday, Sunday and Monday night game. Every single prime time game. I absolutely love NFL football. It’s probably not possible to watch more then I already do. I wish games were staggered even more so I could literally watch every one.

     

    The same for me. During the Sunday afternoon time slots when the Bills are not playing, I usually watch our main competition (whichever team this is at that point of time).

    I should add that there is a difference between watching the Bills and other teams. When the Bills are playing, this is my only focus. When watching non-Bills games, I might multi-task and work on something else concurrently. E.g., from our kitchen I have a good view of the living-room TV. I can do simple chores while still watching TV.

  6. Called today because of issues not related to the Sunday ticket. When they replaced my old HR20 receiver with a mini Genie last week, they also enrolled me in a protection plan, which I cancelled. Due to some screw-up on DirecTV's side, during the replacement I was for a week without DirecTV; they credited me $44 for this loss of service.

    Then I asked about the Sunday ticket for loyal customers (I have been with them since 2003). I got $16.50 off per month of the Sunday ticket (for 6 months) plus $45 off per month of the total bill for a year. Total savings: ~$640 (without the reimbursement for the week without TV).
