Jimkata @ Red Square, Albany NY
I recorded 85% of the Jimkata show the other night and here are my vids. The only song I didn't get was 'Devil in the Details'... Otherwise, enjoy my mostly decent vids with my sometimes not so steady hand. No tripod was used in the recording of said videos...
Here's a playlist that will play all the videos in order...
Go, go, MATSUI
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream for God as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go, go, MATSUI
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go, go, MATSUI
MATSUI
Rinji news o moshiagemasu
Rinji news o moshiagemasu
MATSUI ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go, go, MATSUI
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go, go, MATSUI
MATSUI
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men, MATSUI
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men, MATSUI

CONGRATS to the NEW YORK YANKEES for winning their 27th World Series Championship and to Hideki Matsui for winning the MVP.
Phish, Fenway.
Awesome show. Nothing Spacey Jammed out or anything.. Mike at the end of YEM great shit. Disease was considerably shorter and tighter. Bathtub Gin and Bowie were the mothers milk as well. good shit there. the new songs were good. TTE is a little long and i heard it off myspace/bso show... so knew what to semi expect there.. iiwii.. anyway, Tweezer into Light was Awesome. 3 song encore was nice, even though im semi-over hearing GTBT, feel like it follows me... My buddy back home plays Curtis Lowe on acoustic so was pumped to hear that, and sent him a txt.. It was all about the Second Set to me.. first set was good.. but the whole thing felt like an afternoon show separate from an evening/night show.. Loved the spot in Sample in the Jar when it was realized completely that the rain/clouds were leaving (it downpour'd right before the Anthem/Play Ball and many people missed it entirely--it was still raining when they sung that actually)... so after that, and during Sample especially.. the sky opened up and it was on from then on out... Our seats were fantastic.. at a baseball game it would have been 7 rows from the bottom, closer to pesky pole than first base.. fishman/mike side.. but basically dead on.. i have a few decent pics that im working on getting up... awesome awesome show..

Trucker Rally
A whole lot of truckers in downtown Albany, NY right now blaring their horns in opposition to the gas prices. I don't think a lot of people are getting much work done right now.

I just can't really think of any words to describe this other than... Tsss.
Losing it.
This brings a new meaning to the phrase 'losing it'. Watch as Asheville manager completely loses it.
Kobe scores 81!
Kobe's 81-point game second only to Wilt
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Kobe Bryant scored a staggering 81 points -- the second-highest total in NBA history -- and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Toronto Raptors 122-104 Sunday night.
With the fans at Staples Center chanting "MVP! MVP!" Bryant made two free throws with 43.4 seconds remaining for his final points, putting him behind only Wilt Chamberlain on the all-time scoring list.
Chamberlain scored 100 points for Philadelphia against the New York Knicks at Hershey, Pa., on March 2, 1962. His second-highest total was 78 against the Lakers in three overtimes on Dec. 8, 1961.
"I couldn't even dream of this when I was a kid," Bryant said. "There was no way possible."
Bryant left to a standing ovation with 4.2 seconds remaining, having shot 28-of-46 from the floor and 18-of-20 from the foul line. He was 7-of-13 from 3-point range.
Elgin Baylor held the previous franchise record of 71 points at New York on Nov. 15, 1960.
Michael Jordan's career high was 69 points, and only four players had ever scored more than 70 -- Chamberlain, Baylor, David Thompson and David Robinson.
The 27-year-old Bryant made it five.
He played nearly 42 minutes, going the entire second half until being lifted by coach Phil Jackson. He scored 27 points in the third quarter and 28 more in the fourth.
That came on the same night the NBA had its highest-scoring game in 11 years when Seattle beat Phoenix 152-149 in two overtimes. The last 300-point game in the league came when Dallas beat Houston 156-147 in two overtimes on April 11, 1995, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Bryant's previous career high was 62 points during a 112-90 victory over Dallas last month, but sat out the fourth quarter because of the one-sided nature of the game.
Lamar Odom's 3-pointer with 7:04 remaining gave the Lakers a 100-93 lead, and Bryant scored 30 seconds later to give him 61 points and his team a nine-point advantage.
Bryant scored all but 15 of the Lakers' 42 points in the third quarter, shooting 11-of-15 including 4-of-5 from 3-point range. Six of his points came during a 12-0 run to finish the period, giving Los Angeles a 91-85 lead.
Smush Parker was second on the Lakers with 13 points and Chris Mihm added 12 points and eight rebounds.
Mike James had 26 points and 10 assists for Toronto. Chris Bosh added 18 points and eight rebounds and Jalen Rose scored 17 points.
The Lakers outscored the Raptors 38-14 to finish the third period to go ahead for good.
With Bryant on the bench, the Lakers were outscored 10-3 in the first 6 minutes of the second quarter. Sasha Vujacic's 3-pointer was their only field goal in 11 tries during that time.
The Raptors led by as many as 16 points in the period before settling for a 63-49 halftime lead. Bryant had 26 points and James had 19 points and nine assists in the first half.
Toronto shot 15-of-22 including 4-of-6 from 3-point range in the first quarter for a 36-29 lead.
Game notes
Bryant scored a season-low 11 points in the Lakers' 102-91 victory over the Raptors in Toronto last month. He had 14 in the first quarter of this game. ... The Raptors have gone 13-12 since losing 15 of their first 16 games this season. ... Bryant has led the Lakers in scoring in the last 21 games in which he's played. He entered with an NBA-leading 34.8-point average, and is averaging 45.5 points in 10 games since sitting out a two-game suspension. ... Toronto C Rafael Araujo, who has made 30 starts this season, missed his second straight game and third of the season because of a sore right shoulder. ... Bryant made his first five foul shots before missing late in the second quarter, snapping his streak of consecutive made free throws at 62. Michael Williams made an NBA-record 93 straight for Minnesota in 1993. ... Bryant received a technical foul with 10:44 left -- shortly after being accidentally struck above the right eye.
Anyone see the end of the Alamo Bowl?
between Michigan/Nebraska...
despite the fact that Michigan blew a 28-17 lead to lose 32-28
the last play was crazy
Eight laterals, 1 that looked like an incomplete backward pass (but theres no such thing, its a LIVE ball).. which caused Nebraska's coach to get gatoraded, all the players ran on the field, chad henne started walking, michael hart picked it up and got by a defender, lateralled it again.. some backup tight end got the ball and was basically about to score a touchdown that would have given michigan the win, (or at least upon further review, when they probably would have just replayed the down, whcih the should have anyways).. but basically 1 player on nebraska was paying attention and forced the runner out of bounds.. Even the michigan coaches could have made blocks since they were all on the field too. All he had to do was make 1 more lateral to Michigan's steve breaston who is there punt/kick returner and he would have scored easily. Camera-men were on the field. It was nutty. but the play stood and that was it, Nebraska 32 Michigan 28
Here it is
Fish at the Buzzzzzzzzzzzzer
This was one of the greatest finishes to a basketball game I have ever seen. Moments after Tim Duncan hit the first game winning shot for the Spurs I kept the faith. I believed that the Lakers could do it. The Lakers blew a 16 point game and now the most important half a second in the season was about to go down. While Shaq and Kobe were tightly guarded, Derek Fisher slipped free, caught the inbound pass, and nailed the basket. Game. 3-2 series lead for the mighty Lakers. They can now finish the series Saturday night in LA.
Derek Fisher only had eight points, but he's responsible for leading the Lakers to a crucial road victory. AP
