This thread made me rewatch the Born To Run documentary from 30th Anniversary box set last night and it is quite good. They literally worked on the title track for six months and there are probably a 100 completed versions that they tinkered with. I love the interviews with David Sancious and Ernest Boom Carter who both play on BTR, but quit before they got around to any other songs. Boom Carter says that everytime he's in a store and BTR comes on he wants to go jump into traffic. He must've signed off for a one-time payment. I'd hate to venture how much money could've been made off of the roy

anyone have any info on where to buy "Down with Wilco" on vinyl? Been meaning to pick it up for years but haven't gotten around to it.

Heard one of the songs on brucespringsteen. net and it sounds like a vintage track with redone vocals. Bruce has done this before with good results, but not so sure about this one. Check out this snippet from the documentary though, some great footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVv5EvyN-eM

this is gonna be excellent. Backstreets.com has a thorough breakdown as well as a link to a video excerpt from the documentary. There is a great piece on there with Bruce and Stevie running through a very early "Sherry Darling" on piano. This can't come out soon enough for me.

good ol'd draper still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Roger has become a total bore this season.

excellent update!

i'd love to hear it's not funny anymore or you left me standing in the rain.

what's fascinating to me is that about 85% of those songs from those great three albums were all written within a few months of eachother and partitioned off over those records, which all came out in less than a year and a half. gene has the lion's share of those songs, but dropped off dramatically in output and quality from that point forward.

It is unlike any other song in the catalog, very distinctive, and a direction I would've loved to see more of, and that "I'm 93, you're 16" lyric is one of the most ridiculous lines ever, but works quite well. Excellent song.

Been listening to the following KISS songs a lot of late: "Goin Blind," "Sure Know Something," "Flaming Youth," and from Paul's solo: "Wouldn't You like to Know Me" and "It's Alright."

There was already a Dylan concert reference awhile back, and Malcolm X's death was mentioned last night. Ho Chi Minh's gotta be right around the corner.

Peggy is going to turn to the dark side. Making out with strange bohemians in a closet, smoking weed, hanging out with lesbians. I can dig it. I've longed for Mad Men to get deeper into the 60's and see how they deal with the counterculture, Vietnam, etc, looks like it will become somewhat of a backdrop via Peggy for the forfeseeable future.

That song would be a lot better if it started at the 1:45 mark. As for the big show here presale was yesterday and people starting camping out as early as 5 am at the local record store for cash only tickets at 10. There were probably 75 people in line when the doors opened and they burned through the allotment quickly. The store's owner tried to secure a couple hundred more with no luck. The main onsale is tomorrow and I expect that the GA floor and lower level will go within a few days. The arena will seat 22,000 for basketball games, so I would assume around 17-18k for a sold-out concert. T

My favorite song, by my favorite 90's punk band: Jawbreaker - "Chesterfield King" We stood in your room and laughed out loud. Suddenly the laughter died and we were caught in an eye to eye. We sat on the floor and did we sit close. I could smell your thoughts and thought. Do you want to touch a lot like me? Too scared to say a thing. I left your house and kicked myself. I put those feelings on a shelf to die. I guess I'm not a gambling type but think of what the two of us had lost. I needed some time to think it out. 7-Eleven parking lot. A toothless woman turned and stopped. I gave her a

It's a real rarity, and it's fucking spectacular, but try and find "The Ballad of the self-loading Pistol" by Springsteen. Downright spooky.

hello fellow bday comrade. I got a great present today: MMJ GA tix for the new L'ville arena. You'll be here right?

Been a couple of weeks here's another one: 1. Wilco - Bull Black Nova 2. KISS - Talk To Me 3. T. Rex - Life's a Gas 4. Weezer - Falling For You 5. Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys - Toy Heart 6. The Clash - Red Angel Dragnet 7. Wilco & Billy Bragg - Another Man's Done Gone 8. KISS - Parasite (live) 9. Them Crooked Vultures - Reptiles 10. The White Stripes - The Same Boy You've Always Known

Here's a great one on the new DBT's album by Mike Cooley called "Eyes Like Glue" I see you watching me Your eyes are just like glue Stuck like glue to every Foolish thing I say and do But there's a safer distance Still not out of touch If Daddy's quiet it probably means He's thinking way too much Someday you'll be a man You'll have a big old brain You won't need it but You'll try to use it just the same But it's like any house lonely people roam around Wasted empty space a maze With only one way out Nobody ever told me half the things I'm telling you Even if they had I'd have had The sa

Little Dreamer came on the radio the other day and it took me right back to being a very young kid and listening to that record on headphones in bed at night after my mom made me go to bed. That is an excellent debut and an excellent rock record.

If Eddie had joined we would've never known the brilliance of Vinnie Vincent.

Anyone ever hear about Eddie Van Halen being a replacement for Ace Frehley when he left KISS? This would have been circa '82, so he and Dave were certainly going at it around that time. Imagine how different the future of both bands would have been.

To me the show has to end whether this season or next with Deb discovering everything and all of the moral quandries over what to do with that information. I could also see Dexter dying in some fashion or another in the final scene of the series. Of course I could be totally wrong on both accounts.

I don't dislike EU, but it certainly had a shorter shelf-life than previous records for me. The title track is a knock out, especially the Led Zep breakdown in the middle, Smokin' from Shootin' is an instant Jacket classic to me, Aluminum Park, while fairly textbook is a big sounding rock song that I like very much. The problem to me is all of the middling slow songs that go nowhere and way too many unlistenable lyrics, Librarian comes to mind. I guess EU just seemed like a major stepdown after the role they were on for the three previous records. Very similar to Sky Blue Sky after what precee

The silo where they recorded the first three records was on Johnny Quaid's family farm near Shelbyville, Kentucky. Shelbyville is about 30 miles east of downtown Louisville.

Have 7 or 8 of his records and enjoy them all to varying degrees. He has the distinction of having one of my favorite album covers of all time regarding the one for: from South Africa to South Carolina. It's a gatefold cover with a gorilla dressed as a guerilla warrior with arms outstretched holding the state of South Carolina in one hand and the country of South Africa in the other. His story is truly tragic and likely will not end well.
