The paper this morning reported that the barn is getting “propped up”. The barn has been neglected forever but has become a landmark in Steamboat Springs due to all the photos of it in use. Like here in my blog header. Long live the barn!
Well Thanks to Bud Fucking Light we once again have a “Rocks the Boat” concert series. The Pilot newspaper announced “Ski area announces concert lineup” heres an excerpt:
Steamboat Springs — The Bud Light Rocks the Boat Concert Series begins Feb. 17 with a lineup of five nationally known bands.
“This is absolutely the best lineup of bands to take part in the Bud Light free concert series, period,” said Andy Wirth, vice president of sales & marketing for the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation. “This is the seventh season of the Bud Light Rocks the Boat Series and, as evidenced by the talented array of artists, has reached an entirely new level.”
The bands will appear in this order: Joseph Israel and the Jerusalem Band, North Mississippi Allstars, The Freddy Jones Band, Sister Hazel and Big Head Todd and the Monsters. All of the bands will appear on stage in Gondola Square, which each concert beginning at 3 p.m.
While I am looking forward to some live music in Steamboat Springs I can’t help but remember the past “Rocks The Boat” performances and what a disaster some of them were. In the past the stage has been set up facing the Bear River deck from the gondola entrance with the audience entirely blocking the walkway to gondola square from the skiers and riders that are exiting the mountain. A steady flow of cross the audience, skis in your face, stumbling in ski boots traffic during the performance is an incredible annoyance for the concert goers, who are forced to stand in the melting spring slush.
Andy Wirth claims in the article “This is absolutely the best lineup of bands to take part in the Bud Light free concert series, period,” and that the event “has reached an entirely new level”. I would like to know how he has
arrived at such a conclusion. My opinions differ. please share yours by commenting.
When I last blogged SkiJam I mentioned I would “be back to comment on the rest of the evening when time allows me.” Well the car got smashed so I took a few days to deal with insurance and stuff but now I’m back.
I sat down this morning and gave my Zilla tape a listen and cut tracks. Then it hit me, this band is BORING. “JAMATHON” ends the run with a trance band with a drummer and a mac book. The sound was very reminiscent of another drum based trance band that played around Steamboat Springs around 2002 called Earthtone. While everyone in Steamboat seemed to enjoy Earthtone we all knew it was due to the few cute girls they would prance on stage and all the mushrooms the band would hand out before the show. While I was wavering during the Zilla performance I looked around the room at all the underage drinkers, one gave me a shot of his Jager. This was the highlight of the set for me.
As I listened to the recording attempting to cut songs into tracks I noticed a pattern. All the songs sound the same! So I just cut it into chunks like an idiot. No clue of what the songs title was, or when it ended, or the next song started. I was just glad to get through it without needing some uppers.
So here it is, for those of you who were too wasted to remember the performance you enjoyed so much at SkiJam, grab it via torrent thanks to our friends at cotapers.org

Three days ago, while the little blue car was parked innocently on the side of the road, some dumb bitch lost control of her car and slid into it.
The car was hauled off to Denver yesterday to get repaired. The dumb-dumb’s insurance company is Progressive and no body shop in Steamboat Springs would even repair it because they don’t like to work with them.
