Congrats, folks, you’ve made it through the first full work week in what seems like months. And if you’re lucky like me you have off on Monday for Martin Luther King’s birthday: I love that guy. To keep you occupied, here are Friday’s Leftovers:

• Turn Up The Good delivers us an mp3 of Pearl Jam’s version of Love Reign O’er Me
• Joseph Vala shares a fine gallery of photos from moe.’s New Year’s Eve concert at Radio City Music Hall
• And JamBase features a Flaming Lips photo gallery by Jay Blakesberg
• I found this most overlooked albums of 2006 list to be very interesting
• Continuing the recent and disheartening trend, Darien Lake Theme Park and Amphitheater has been sold by Six Flags
• Mother Vinegar, a band poised for a big year in 2007, visits the midwest this weekend
• Sammy Hagar hopes the Van Halen brothers will take the high road at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction (Good luck with that)
• In a move that has implications for our world of music downloading, the MPAA has started uploading fake torrents…careful, lads
• Neddy reviews the recent The Fiery Furnaces/Emergency show at Northsix
• What’s the connection between Borat and The Wetlands? Double J Jesse Jarnow tells us it’s all about a woman
• Spence D does a good job of listing the top ten songs about trains
• Keller Williams sits-in live on Sirius Jam-On Radio at 2pm today
• A video of Gov’t Mule’s recent performance on the Conan O’Brien Show
• Check out this great soundboard recording of Yonder Mountain String Band’s Webster Hall show from October

What are you up to this weekend? Inquiring minds want to know. Kinda…

Welcome back to another edition of Grousing The Aisles. There’s nothing like music to fight off the mid-week blues, so check out these fine live shows:

Gov’t Mule - December 16th, 2006 AUD (FLAC)

In quick fashion, this torrent features Mule’s headlining set from last Saturday’s Christmas Jam in Asheville. Since Warren Haynes has sat in on many a DMB version of Cortez The Killez, Dave returns the favor here by sitting in on a stellar version of the Neil Young classic. Branford Marsalis came out as well for Watchtower and a reggaefied Soulshine. The Mule only played two songs from their new album, and they even broke out old favorites Sco-Mule and Mule. While the link above is for an audience recording, I plan on buying the Mule Tracks soundboard version as soon as it becomes available later this week.

Read on for some Johnny Cash, MMW, kickass bluegrass and the old standbys…

In an effort to provide you with as much content on this blog as possible, First Lt. Scott Bernstein will scour the world wide web every week to bring you some of the best circulating torrents — both audio and video — that you may not have noticed floating around the information superhighway.

Since this post serves as the debut of this department, allow me to take a second to vouch for ScottyB. I recently bought a new iPod and delivered the unopened package directly to Scotty and his roommate, Coach, who then sent me an Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of gigs worth of sick live shows and awesome rarities. I picked out what I wanted and shot it back to them, stopping by a week later to claim a top-notch personal music device.

The point is this: ScottyB wants you all to accumulate a stellar music catalogue, and he’ll stop at nothing to accomplish that goal. Let him help you out, he knows what he’s doing here. So here’s the first installment, for the week of 10/23/06.

(Oh, and we’re also offering +10 Hidden Track Heady Points to anyone that can tell us what musical genius coined the questionable phrase “Grousing the Aisles”…)
