I paid off my entire defaulted student loan at the beginning of this month. I even received a paid in full letter. But today I just got a letter from the IRS that my $600 was applied to that loan by offset!! Apparently there wasn’t enough time between when I paid off the loan and then getting my rebate. I just tried to call the Missouri Department of Education, which my loan is through, but they are closed for the day. Does anyone know if I can get my $600 back???

I have had a ipod nano for 2 years and its the ipod my computer recognizes when I plug it into my computer, but i just got an ipod touch and I am not exactly sure how to set up my new ipod. Because I know that one computer only recognizes one ipod. So if you know or have had any past experience…please help.

KISS is Still Alive and Rocking after Four Decades of Touring

KISS became a household name throughout the decade of the seventies. Rock music could never be the same. When the new fab four emerged onto the music scene, they made and unforgettable impression. Four men from New York dressed in leather outfits, high heeled boots, and identity concealing makeup would captivate the world and change the entertainment industry forever. Whether you love them or hate them, everybody knows KISS. The outfits, the makeup, and overall appearance of the band has made them one of the most recognizable bands in the world. Back in the early 1970’s, their stage theatrics amazed and confused (in some cases) concert-goers around the world. With roots in New York City, and all four members residing in the vicinity, they put together a local following initially, and after a few years of album releases and constant touring, proceeded to go national and by the mid seventies eventually rise to international recognition. During the 1970’s, KISS would tour endlessly, appear on TV shows, and promote their new sound and look any way they could. That’s where things got interesting. KISS merchandise began to appear not only at the rock concerts, but at your local toy store, record store, gift shop, etc. KISS, with the help of Aucoin management, began producing and promoting everything KISS. There were dolls, notebooks, posters, keychains, transistor radios, board games, and much more. Although KISS wasn’t the first band to produce themed merchandise, they were the first to do it successfully and at a level never seen before. Many of these products would eventually be re-classified as KISS collectables a few decades later. These KISS products would eventually help them to earn the “hottest band in the world” badge. Their arsenal of albums, eyecatching appearance, KISS themed merchandise, and fiery stageshow would put this band in a class all by itself. This level of fame unfortunately caused turmoil among band members, substance abuse entered the picture as well, and the band began to self destruct. Peter Criss, the band’s drummer was the first to part ways with the group. He was immediately replaced and the band played on.

As the 1980’s arrived, many changes were taking place within the band including the departure of Ace Frehley the spaceman, a fan favorite and original guitarist. His replacement lasted just a few years and then was replaced as well. Overall KISS had a total of four lead guitar players during the 1980’s. The biggest change however was the removal of the makeup and the beginning of a new era for KISS with a toned-down stage show and performances in street clothes (more or less). The band would release a total of ten albums throughout the decade and would sell more concert tickets than even they expected. The band’s new appearance and evolving rock sound kept fans coming back for more.

The 1990’s were eventful in terms of KISS. Their drummer, Eric Carr passed away from cancer in 1991. Eric became a fan favorite performing with KISS longer than their original drummer Peter Criss. KISS eventually moved forward with a new drummer and a new album, but there was more to come in the 90’s and it came in the form of something totally unexpected… the KISS convention. Fans around the world were beginning to gather to commemorate KISS in their makeup days. Tribute bands, KISS memorabilia and collectables, as well as plenty of die hard fans would pack various venues to celebrate the KISS they remember from the 1970’s. These KISS conventions were never sanctioned by KISS but were truly a sight to see. Were the original band members watching? We’ll never know but we can imagine they were. The next event worth mentioning took place in 1995 when all four original members took the stage for an unplugged show, an MTV production. An idea that some fans rumored was brought on by the successful conventions and the growing number of KISS collectables. This show would eventually trigger a reunion tour complete with makeup and stageshow as only KISS could do it. The fans went wild for KISS. They sold out shows around the globe and made guest appearances anywhere they could. The kings of promotion were back in the limelight just like days of old. The merchandising reincarnated into something fans had never seen before. Dolls and keychains gave way to lava lamps, bottled wine, video games, and even a KISS casket. KISS was big business again and with the fame and fortune came the same old problems again.

By 2000 it appeared Peter Criss and Ace Frehley were both beginning to tire of the KISS experience both with rumored problems. Original members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley showed no sign of slowing down. Touring continued and the band eventually settled down with drummer Eric Singer, who had already been performing with the band after replacing Eric Carr, and guitar tech Tommy Thayer. Although the touring has not been nearly as intense in recent years, as of 2009 the band is still performing, still wearing makeup, and still selling concert tickets and of course, KISS collectables.

Jeff Beck Tickets – Still Bringing Up Tons Of ‘emotion & Commotion’

June 25, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Music

He loves to stir up commotion, and now Jeff Beck is doing so with his aptly titled set and tour Emotion & Commotion. The veteran guitar slinger who really knows how to sling those chords recently added a few more dates to his headlining jaunt for April and June. Throughout the tour, which sees opening act in Grammy winner Joss Stone, Beck will make an appearance at Eric Clapton’s Crossroad Guitar Festival and Bonnaroo Festival in June.

The outing, which jumps out April 16th in San Francisco, will hit big city arenas like Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre, Houston’s Verizon Wireless Theater, St. Louis’ Fox, Boston’s Bank of America Pavilion and Atlanta’s Chastain Park, among others. There isn’t a moment to miss for the spring/summer Commotion Tour, so get <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(’/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.stubhub.com/jeff-beck-tickets/”>Jeff Beck tickets</a> now from http://www.stubhub.com.

Emotion & Commotion was recorded in Beck’s home country with producers Steve Lipson and Trevor Horn at the helm. The album, which is due out in April, also included session work by collaborators Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, Jason Rebello on keys and Tal Wilkenfeld on bass. Additionally, Emotions & Commotions features a 64-piece orchestra, while two singles – “I Put a Spell on You” and “There’s No Other Me” – feature Beck’s opener, Joss Stone, on vocals. The set comes at a perfect time in terms of commercial exposure, as his single “A Day in the Life” recently earned Beck his fifth Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance and the single is also featured on last year’s Performing this Week…Live at Ronnie Scott’s.

Beck is fresh off his co-headlining tour with Eric Clapton, and many critics thought that Beck outshined his Yardbirds counterpart (he replaced Clapton in the legendary rock group in ‘65). The Wallington, England native continues to see fame years after he debuted his sound. “For my parents, who lived through the war, music was a source of comfort to them. Life was tense and music helped them forget about their troubles,” he said on his website. “I’m sure that made an impression on me.” The guitarist we know today first started after a stint with London’s Wimbledon Art College.

Amazingly enough, even though Beck had played guitar for years his first work with a real musical outfit was with the Yardbirds in 1965. However, just two years later Beck left the group to form his own band – the Jeff Beck Group – which released two albums together (Truth and Beck- Ola)before disbanding. Though the outfit remained unsteady for the next decade, they released two more albums, 1971’s Rough and Ready and 1972’s The Jeff Beck Group.

Beck’s guitar expertise didn’t limit him to just one genre, and miraculously enough after finishing up a rock album with the trio Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice, Beck turned to jazz-fusion. The instrumental sets demolished any stereotypes experts might have on Beck’s musical intentions, as the albums Blow by Blow and Wired remain some of the best-selling instrumental pieces of all time.

Beck continued to record in the studio, returning with 1980’s There and Back, 1985’s Flash and 1989’s Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop with Terry Bozzio and Toy Hymas. He has continued to release albums sporadically through the most recent decades, retaining his status as one of rock music’s most valuable guitarists.

I am a huge golf player and fan. This Holiday season, I will be getting myself and fellow golfers one of the 10 great golf Christmas presents found on this page.

Jeff Beck Tickets – Still Finding All Sorts of Emotions and Commotions

June 23, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Music

Hailed as one of the best guitar players in history, Jeff Beck is out on tour this summer promoting his first set in seven years. The Emotion & CommotionTour opened in San Francisco’s Nob Hill Masonic Centre in April and will close out at the Crossroad Festival in Chicago in late June. Beck’s one May performance was rocking the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, where he had no problem living up to what Jazz Fest producer Quint Davis hailed as “the greatest guitarist to come out of and emerge from rock ‘n’ roll,” reports Festival Crashers. The result was nothing but extraordinary, as http://www.stubhub.com continues to sell <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(’/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.stubhub.com/jeff-beck-tickets/”>Jeff Beck tickets</a>.

Despite the obvious promotions, Beck is promoting legendary guitar maker Les Paul in a two-night residency at the Iridium Jazz Club of New York City. The “Celebration of Les Paul” will feature Beck and The Imelda May Band June 8th and 9th honoring the late Les Paul, who passed away this year. “When I first heard Les Paul playing ‘How High the Moon,’ I thought, man, that’s what I want my sound to be like. Now, here I am years later and he’s still a powerful influence in all that I do,” Beck said in a press release. The event with Gibson Guitar will take place on Paul’s 95th birthday. The performance is just one of many that Beck has been able to honor for the legendary Paul, as he and Imelda May performed that classic hit Beck talks of during 2010’s Grammy Awards.

While Jeff Beck’s name might not be as mainstream as his fellow Yardbirds alum Eric Clapton, in the rock ‘n’ roll world his is the most talked about in history. Though commercial audiences had trouble catching on to his tunes following Rod Stewart’s departure from the Jeff Beck Group, the England native can astound with just a few musical bars. Â That magical power was showcased last April when Beck joined singer Joss Stone on the stage for “Idol Gives Back.” The fundraising event brought together an all-star cast but it was Stone and Beck, who did their own rendition of Jay Hawkins’ 1956 classic “I Put a Spell on You” that stole the show.

A rock ‘n’ roll staple since the ’60s when he joined the Yardbirds’ following Clapton’s departure, Beck marked a first last year when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After a whirlwind of promotions that year as Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder celebrated 25 years of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Beck headed straight into the studio. Bringing along producers Steve Lipson and Trevor Horn, it was the first time Beck recorded in nearly a decade. The Rhino Records release was yet another first for the veteran guitarist, as Emotions & Commotions became his bestselling album to date. With a critically and commercially praised set, Beck had no other choice to promote his 15th studio set with a tour, bringing along new band members Rhonda Smith, Narada Michael Walden and longtime keyboardist Jason Rebello.

I’ve been told all tapes and DVD’s bought now or any time before the conversion won’t be playable. I have many DVD’s and some tapes as well but am leary of buying any more now if this rumor is true.

Do you agree with this list that boasts the best song of all time as stairway to heaven?
