Come home Nick!!!!

The Bee Gees - 'Run to Me' The Beach Boys - 'Kiss Me Baby' The Kinks - 'Where Have All the Good Times Gone' (note: will change tomorrow, most definitely)

She's probably in the thread somewhere, but I don't care. One of the original RSGFs PS: That's Patti Boyd btw...

Yep - def. him. As for the box set - take it from the man himself And as for the site itself - how awesome stuff must there be on there where even the guy the site's in honour of feels as though he needs to download from it?

Damn sexy RSGF playing pretty much the sexiest model of guitar ever... awesome

See, this is something I've heard for years now and it's an argument that's fine for an individual, but on the whole I don't buy it one little bit (no offense!). If there was a general consensus on what the crap songs were and what the greats were then it would be fine - but that's not the case. You'll have as many people get themselves ready to stand in front of a tank to defend something along the lines of 'Cherry Lane' from Cold Roses - and you'll get others who'll say that it's filler which distracts from the rest of the album. We hear so many stories about how the record industry is c

Yep - different recording though.

Here you go; http://www.nodepression.net/blogs/news/200...hiskeytown.html Deluxe reissue of Whiskeytown album due in March Longtime No Depression subscriber Dean Dauphinais asked, and we thought the rest of you might be interested as well, so here are some details about the Deluxe Edition reissue of Whiskeytown's 1997 album Strangers Alamanac, due out March 4 via Geffen/Universal. Disc One of the two-disc set will feature the original album plus five tracks recorded live on Los Angeles radio station KCRW on September 10, 1997. Three of those tracks are album cuts ("Houses On The Hill",

Only just really got into these guys in the past year. 1. Xmas Curtain (love the 'Okonokos' version) 2. Mahgeetah 3. O Is the One That is Real Looking forward to many, many more brilliant albums from Jim and the boys...

That's just cruel...

Not really surprised by too much this year (well, nothing on the level of Lindsey Buckingham's Under the Skin from last year). Biggest disappointment is an easy one; Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81 After loving Howl to death, this one was just appalling.

I always thought Jimmy was referring to full song outtakes. Pretty much every full song recorded by the band has been released. Sure there's a crapload of demos and live tracks that could be used - there's no 'Blind Willie McTell' lying in the vaults waiting to be discovered.

and loudest (in a good way)!

Cheers for trying Sean. Honestly though, as much as I didn't expect them to be coming back to Australia so soon, my expectations that they'd come back to Perth as well were even less. But oh well, at least I got to see the show earlier this year (which was about as wonderful as anyone could ever imagine).

So many power-pop classics qualify; 'Precious to Me' - Phil Seymour (2:53) 'Baby's Coming Back' - Jellyfish (2:57) 'Valerie Loves Me' - Material Issue (3:09) But ditto to whoever said 'Don't Worry Baby'. As perfect as music can be.

Wow. 55. I'm Stephen Rawking apparently...

This is one of my favourite listens of the year so far. Something must be great about it when Jack Johnson is suddenly not only listenable, but rather enjoyable... Edit: OK, so the second half of the Jack Johnson song is awful, but his 'Mama, You've Been on My Mind' is rather good.

Time for me to get on my "come to Perth!!!!!!" bandwagon again Worked last time and we got a brilliant freakin' show. Am I being selfish by asking for more?!?

They can come at me all they want. I'll invite them around to my house and tell them to bring a list of the stuff I downloaded from Oink. I'll then show them to where I keep my cds and I'll tick every single one of those things off the list as they're albums I've eventually bought anyway. And if the stuff I've downloaded is out of print and unavailable to buy at a reasonable price - I'll tell them to release the bitch and I'll pony up the cash. Added to that will be the massive amounts of cds I buy that I don't download - and I'll tell them to get down on their knees because it's guys like

Neal's great. I wasn't too thrilled when JP Bowersock got replaced in The Cardinals - but Neal's really stepped it up a notch. His harmonising with Ryan, along with their guitar interplay is freakin' unreal... Plus, they do Neal songs in the sets sometimes, so it's not like he's in the shadows the whole time.

I was lucky enough to get my invite from someone here. And I'm ashamed to say I didn't use it too well - but only because I realised that I was on a ADSL plan that counted uploads as well as downloads and budgeting for uploads became a real hassle. Thankfully now I'm on a different plan which doesn't count uploads (like probably 99% of other ISPs), and my ratio is at about 0.96. It's gone up about 0.500 in the past three weeks and will only grow. Hopefully i'll be able to give invites soon. Hopefully they have their download-free Xmas period again this year - that helped a bit last year.

These guys are pretty good live... Pity their last album was one of the most terrible things I've listened to this year ;(

Man, that'd be a killer show to go to. The Drones are pretty much my fave aussie band of the moment. I was pissed when I missed them on their last trip over this side of the country.

Ryan's great. I missed out on meeting him by about 5 minutes in 2005 - but such is life. I just don't get how people rip on him so much. Sure he puts on a bad show in a while, but when he's on, he's really on. The childish stuff may not be completely professional, but sometimes the guy plays a bad gig. I know that if I'm in a bad mood, my performance at work suffers for it. I don't know we can't give the same leeway to our musicians. Hell, Robert De Niro gets paid $15 million to make terrible films these days, but people still judge him on his great ones. With Ryan (yeah, the De Niro compa

'Blue Hotel' was the one song I looked forward to more than any other on the last tour. Killer song.
