Monday's Hors d'Oeuvres

Thanksgiving’s over, and I’m pretty excited for a full week of work. Okay, not really, so let’s all pretend its not Monday. Check out these links to keep you busy:

• King Crimson has started to sell shows from their archives — thanks to Clownshoes for pointing out this great show from 1982, which is FREE!
• Original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward backs out of the upcoming Heaven and Hell project
• The New York Times recaps the best of this year’s box sets, however they criminally leave out this year’s best box, “What It Is”, which we mentioned glowingly in last week’s column
• I saw cellulose rolling papers being used this weekend (for tobacco of course) and was impressed and amazed
• Some of this weekend’s setlists from Wilco, moe., RAQ, The Disco Biscuits, Dark Star Orchestra (bottom of page), String Cheese Incident, and Gov’t Mule
• Les Claypool has created a studio that may make him even more prolific
• Skip down to the 12th paragraph of this wedding announcement for word of the headiest wedding cake ever
• Now here’s a deal: See The Slip, get nudie pix (2nd entry)
• As always check out Friend of HT Neddy’s shows of the week
• The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas likes a baseball team that hasn’t won anything in 20 years

So, folks, how was your weekend? Any cool news that we missed due to tryptophan overload? It’s tired in here.
