Earlimart / Treble and Tremble

All these people seem to be correct. All the Drag City releases are golden. My favorite non-Drag City album is I'm Happy, etc. Though I'm really interested in finding Happy Days now. When Jim's happy, I'm happy, it seems.

i'd join, but i generally stay out of global groups for fear of being poked by strangers.

haha, that's great how you can accuse others of being insulting and at the same time insult them in the same fashion, even in the same sentence.

whoa-ho! where one finds NP on viachicago, one finds "share your music" on ateaseweb. ::bookmarks::

Jim O'Rourke / I'm Happy and I'm Singing and a 1, 2, 3, 4

Grandaddy / Just Like The Fambly Cat

5/10, now how many neil young records does everybody have? because i have 2/???

The Beatles - Love

goddamn i love this album, i need to punch myself when i say i don't have time for 10-minute long instrumentals.

like your harmonics, you've got it backwards, let it be was recorded first but released after abbey road.

Hotter.

i thought it was their first

i invented a sister i populate her with knives oh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uhmn

meh, the novelty's wearing off.

i saw a phone commercial advertising mp3 sound, and i thought it was bad when mp3s were advertised as near-CD quality. now mp3s are the standard. i guess the good news is to those who think 128kb/s mp3s sound good today, it's only going to get better and better for them while those of us waiting for it to sound as good as a record will just be waiting. Walter Sear's writing is pretty informative and entertaining: http://members.aol.com/searsound/articles2.html

i've only listened to it once and was kindof turned off, and Good News is my favorite of theirs. i'll try it again someday soon.

300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues is going to be a hard song-title to live up to.

that doesn't seem like a fair assessment to me, there have been beautiful sounding albums that have been recorded digitally and a lot of analogue recordings that sound awful. obviously AGIB is a strong advertisement for analogue, recorded at one of the few places left devoted to that medium. and while digital hasn't yet reached the height its potential as analogue has (probably) already done, i think it's wrong to assume that moving rust around on tape is THE right way to record and recreate sound.

first, O'Rourke couldn't really change the quality of the sound of YHF that much by mixing it, he could screw up the levels, but make it sound like cardboard? for piecing the album together, i think he deserves as much credit as any bandmember for what a great album that is. second, I suppose it comes down to opinion, but aside for heavily favoring the songs on AGIB, I think it's one of the best sounding records. If you turn it up loud and don't get scared when the guitars come in much louder, it's incredibly dynamic and exciting. third, I haven't listened to Sky Blue Sky except for What L
