New Poll/Oddity Faire

Polls are closed, all 23 votes have been counted, and the winner is...
Stairway to Heaven!
The final count was Stairway 15, Freebird 8.
New poll is up, Darkside or The Wall?  Vote now on the right hand side of the page.

side note: The Oddity Faire was amazing!  Split Lip Rayfield turned out to be a wicked good three-piece bluegrass band from Wichita, Kansas formed in 1995.  Two of the members switched between guitar, banjo and mandolin while the third played a "homemade one-string bass, named Stitchgiver, built from the gastank of a 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis and a piece of hickory and strung with one piece of Weedwhacker line."

Of course, Primus was mind blowing.  Les Claypool has the best strut ever, and he makes everything look so easy.  Highlight of the night for me was My Name is Mud, but a close second would be Claypool coming on stage in a monkey mask and playing his homemade whamola.  If you don't know what a whamola is you're missing out. 

Here's a couple videos for y'all internet people to enjoy.
