This is the first chance i've had to get on this in a few days--i saw the elimination show, the last half hour anyway. did it seem like once Dave said he would play with Storm, they all were jumping on the band wagon? too funny--here they just kicked her off for being their front person. whatever . i still like her. and Skee, you're right on Tommy Lee--he is a good guy deep down

I am from Portland and Gilby Clark was interviewed on a radio show here this morning. He said they plan to ask Storm as one of the people to join them when they go out on the road for her tour so we'll definitely see her again. I kind of doubt she'll be sticking around our town too much longer!

I found that funny too, that they all said they wanted to back Storm. Well, if you want to back her, then why are kicking her out?! Them backing her is the same thing as her front their band!

Maybe the difference is the type of music each would be playing/singing. SN knows she is a wonderful singer and they would be able to play her sound, but maybe they didn't think she could sing their sound?

Personally, I like her sound better than theirs. So far I haven't been terribly impressed with the SN songs.

They announced earlier that the radio morning show I listen to will be interviewing Storm sometime next week (Monday?). Alice at 97.3, for those in the SF Bay Area that may want to listen.

Love, love, love Sarah & No Name at Alice. I've been listening since before Vinnie left. Thanks for letting us know Nancy ... I know it will be a very cool interview.

What is it with radio stations suddenly having names instead of call letters? I used to listen to Sarah and Vinnie on Alice when I lived in the Bay Area. Now we have Jack FM (to my son Jack's delight) in the Sacramento area.

In reading Storm's website she bills herself as a punk/torch singer but more torch than punk. I can see that. She's great and I betcha her first single CD does real well. I still say her "Wish You Were Here" was the best she did on the show. Awesome. The song means so much to so many for different reasons and had me in tears too.

Ryan's 2005 CD, Songs From The Eye of An Elephant, is available for download from iTunes. It's great.

I am not sure if this refers to yesterday or today but this is at Dave N's blog - where, it appears, he streams his own live radio show??? Spread Radio Live - What The What Is Storm Large Like? Spread Radio Live will be ON AIR around 7:00pm PST tonight. If all of the stars align, I will be talking to Storm Large around 7:30pm. Anything you may have stared in the post below you can continue here. I have to close it in order to keep up with you all. ETA: oops I just read further down on the blog and realized it was posted for LAST NIGHT not tonight. Sorry about that. here is what Dave has to say about Rockstar: So, it is Lukas, Toby, Dilana and Magni left on the show. Only two more tapings! Who will it be? Wow. Now that The Panic Channel is going out with Supernova, I all of a sudden have an invested interest. HAHAHA. NOW they tell me! Well, I don't have a say either way, so I guess it won't hurt for me to give my thoughts, but I'll wait on that. At this point I'd rather watch the show on Sunday (Tuesday) and see what the final four bring us before I make my final assessment. They all have strengths and weaknesses. Toby has a great voice that is solid, but he doesn't have the edge factor I would like to see. Lukas has a lot of edge, but vocally, I am not sure I would love hearing him for a whole two hour show. Magni is also way solid as a singer, but I worry about his command of the stage in terms of staying compelling for a whole set. Dilana has the voice and the edge down, but I worry that she lets the random temporary stuff effect her too much. Sure, she went through a tough time, but all entertainers do. She seems a little on 'tilt' these days. If she is going to let what people say effect her so deeply, I will definitely recommend that she doesn't start her own blog like this one! HAHAHAHA.

Torch songs are mostly ballads but can be somewhat up tempo. They are songs full of angst, lost love, etc. Good good good listening usually. I'd say cell phones are probably swaying from time to time. I'd like to hear something Storm has recorded that is a torch song. I don't know if there is anything out there.

Found this definition of torch songs. There are modern torch songs as well but I can't find a listing for them. Some Ronstandt songs would be categorized as torch. Some older torch songs would be "Misty" "The Man That Got Away" etc. Torch song - a type of love song, usually directed by a woman to a man, the love could be unrequited or the interest in the relationship could be imbalanced , popular song type for female jazz singers in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.

Vacanick and any other SF Bay Area fans: It is tomorrow - Tuesday - that Storm Large will be on the Sarah & No Name show (wish they would let us know what time...). Oh, and Babyjax - the call letters for the station are KLLC, the LLC making an "Alice" sound. But I do believe that in the past there were other stations owned by the parent company in other parts of the US that were called "Alice" as well. I think I remember reading that a few years back, anyhow. Denver comes to mind as where another one was/is.

Well...came back to let SF Bay Area folks know that they are saying Storm will be on 97.3 tomorrow morning at 7:00. Bummer, 'cause I am commuting from about 6:45 to 7:45 each day, so I'll miss it. If someone does listen and feels like giving a brief review, that would be great. I probably won't check back tomorrow until AFTER the finale because I don't want to accidentally find out anything more about it. :::sigh:::

I'm commuting & listening to Alice from about 7:15 - 8:00 each day. Depending on how long Storm is with Sarah & No Name .. looks like I'll probably miss her as well. But thank you for the update!

Hi.. I know this is the Rockstar thread..but I wanted to let you all know that the first single by METAFORE the 17 yr old rapper I discovered is up on my myspace page. The song is on some radio stations in NY right now and playing at clubs all over the country. Feedback is very welcome and no worries its a clean version. The song is called NAH MEAN and can be found on www.myspace.com/luckybugentertainment or at Meta's myspace at www.myspace.com/teammetafore. Add the song to your page, play it for your kids, play it for your friends.... sign up as a friend... The song was produced by the same guy that just did Christina Aguileras new single Aint no Other Man as well as other songs on her album. Please let me know what you think.... Thanks, BUG

from the Houston Chronicle this am Dilana The South African who's adopted Houston was my pick for weeks, though she squandered her hard-earned good will. Even if she hadn't, Supernova seems unlikely to choose a woman. Bringing dancing babes onstage when Dilana fronted the band spoke volumes. Dilana has weak original songs, her calf injury last week limits her, and her emotionalism looks troublesome. Season's best songs: Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire as an eerie, Middle Eastern dirge, and Nirvana's Lithium as a rafter-rocker. Lukas The show's biggest love-hate lightning rod, this boldly fashion-forward Canadian has been a nonchalant punk offstage and a slurring, staggering wild man on it. A charismatic wailer, he still often sings in the guttural tones Newsted loathes and turns his back to the crowd. His original song, while potent, was nowhere near what Supernova would do. Season's best songs: Creep, with soaring vocal peaks, and Rebel Yell, with a boisterous sense of abandon. Magni The bald Icelander is this show's family man and good guy, and he's benefited from home-country bloc voting. But despite his maturity and solid singing, Magni lacks spark onstage. Season's best songs: a spirited, fun turn on Jimi Hendrix's Fire and an intense, frenetic spin of the Who's My Generation. Toby Here's your dark horse: a capable but unnoteworthy singer who slid by for weeks, then burst forth with rabble-rousing performances and an original song that hooked Supernova. Young and energetic, he's not Rock Star's best singer but is among its best performers. Chicks dig him, and he has the party-boy spirit Tommy Lee craves. What's not to like? Season's best songs: an even better Rebel Yell than Lukas' and Throw It Away, his rousing original. Look for it on Supernova's debut disc. Toby's the man. bruce.westbrook@chron.com http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/entertainment/4178682.html

Bug - thanks for the heads up - I don't care for Rap at all so it would serve no purpose for me to be visiting the site but I hope others here do, for you - you have been so good to us giving us all those spoilers  from Dave's Blog today I think that Lukas and Dilana have the best shots at winning this thing. I think they are both unique and edgy with killer voices and could both do the job extremely well. Even though Toby and Magni are arguably better singers in some ways, there are certain elements that I think they lack in order to fill the position. Frankly, to me, they are just less compelling to watch on stage. The good news is all of them are more than likely going to be on the tour in some capacity... Either as Supernova's lead singer or performing with the House Band.
