    The noise-rock quartet broke up in 1999, but the original lineup of David Yow, Duane Denison, David Wm. Sims, and Mac McNeilly has announced plans to play a handful of shows this year while their label, Touch & Go, reissues much of their back catalogue.

     

    The Jesus Lizard will be part of an opening-night festival lineup that also includes Built to Spill, Tortoise and Yo La Tengo. Each of the bands will play a set handpicked by fans. Anyone who buys a ticket starting March 13 will receive an email providing a link to a web page where they can vote on which songs they

    I have been searching and trying to find who the hell is in Bob's current band and I can't find shite. Analogman? Somebody?

     

    Band Members

    Bob Dylan - keyboard, guitar, harp

    Tony Garnier - bass

    George Recile - drums

    Stu Kimball - rhythm guitar

    Denny Freeman - lead guitar

    Donnie Herron - violin, viola, banjo, electric mandolin, pedal steel, lap steel

     

    The above is his most recent band, I haven't heard that it is going change.

    Am I the only Depeche Mode fan here?

    Note that big gap between New York and Seattle. Lolla anyone?

     

     

    That would be nice. I am a fan but I probably would not see them by themselves. But it would be good they if are part of Lollapalooza. The Cure are being kicked around to play also, of course they always seemed to be rumored to play. But having both play would be like a 120 Minute Flashback.

    Just don't try to sell your own shirts:

     

    Phish is kicking off its reunion tour with a lawsuit against bootleggers. The Vermont-based rock band, which developed a cult following over two decades before splitting up, will perform for the first time since 2004 tomorrow night at the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia. But first the foursome will ask a judge to block the sale of bootleg T-shirts, posters, and other merchandise at its upcoming concerts. US District Judge Raymond Jackson will consider the band's request for an injunction this afternoon. (AP)

     

     

    I thought it was already illegal to sell any bootleg items with Phish (or any other band) likeness on them.

    A nice piece in today's NY Times.

     

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/05/arts/mus...ref=todayspaper

     

    from it:

     

    Late last year the four band members came together, by themselves, to make music in Mr. Anastasio’s Burlington barn and studio. They liked what they heard. And they resolved to be the version of Phish they prized most: the intently practiced, well-prepared Phish from the mid-90s. They started their Vermont rehearsals not with their countryish three-chord songs but with their intricate, suitelike songs that verge on progressive rock, like “Split Open and Melt” and “Foam.” Although Phish has recorded demo versions of 20 songs for its next album, only one is likely to be heard this weekend: “Backwards Down the Number Line,” a fond birthday song that asks, “Do you know why we’re still friends?”

     

    and I like this one too,

     

    He also has another mission in mind. As a longtime fan of Depression-era swing bands, he has been thinking about Phish’s role in the current recession. “For people in hard times, we can play long shows of pure physical pleasure,” he said. “They come to dance and forget their troubles. It’s like a service commitment.”

    I gotta go with Some Girls, too. Song for song I don't think their is a weak one. Sticky Fingers is very close, but Knocking at times feels like it a bit long, though I love Taylor's solo. Let It Bleed has Country Honk and I was never was huge fan of Salt of the Earth on Beggars. All the records listed are great and I play most of them still quite a lot.

     

    Also Some Girls is my favorite on head phones; the guitars are mixed well and Keith and Ronnie's playing is great.

    Updated info on new album. I am looking forward to the accordion. This year is already shaping up to be a great one for new releases.

     

    DYLAN RECORDS SURPRISE 'MODERN TIMES' FOLLOW-UP

     

    Dark new disc with a bluesy border-town feel arrives in April

    By David Fricke

     

    I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver/And I'm reading James Joyce/Some people tell me I got the blood of the land in my voice," Bob Dylan sings in a leathery growl, capturing the essence of his forthcoming studio album - raw-country love songs, sly wordplay and the wounded state of the nation - in "I Feel a Change Coming On," one of the record's 10 new originals.

     

    Set for late April,the as-yet-untitled album arrives a few months after Dylan's outtakes collection Tell Tale Signs nad it "came as a surprise," says a source close to Dylan's camp. Last year, filmmaker Olivier Dahan, who directed the 2007 Edith Piaf biopic, La Vie en Rose, approached Dylan about writing songs for his next feature. Dylan responded with "Life Is Hard," a bleak ballad with mandolin, pedal steel and him singing in a dark, crystal clear voice, "The evening winds are still/I've lost the way and will." (The song appears in the film My Own Love Song, starring Renee Zellweger.)

     

    Inspired, Dylan kept writing and recording songs with his road band and guests, with Los Lobos' David Hidalgo rumored on the accordion. Dylan produced the album under his usual pseudonym, Jack Frost.

     

    The disc has the live-in-the-studio feel of Dylan's last two studio records, 2001's Love & Theft and 2006's Modern Times, but with the seductive border-cafe feel (courtesy of the accordion on every track) and an emphasis on struggling-love songs. The effect - in the opening shuffle, "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'," the Texas-dance-hall jump of "If You Ever Go To Houston" and the waltz "This Dream of You" - is a gnarly turn on early-1970's records like New Morning and Planet Waves.

     

    Dylan makes references to the national chaos, as on the viciously funny slow blues "My Wife's Home Town" ("State gone broke, the county's dry/Don't be lookin' at me with that evil eye"winking smiley, culminating in the deceptive rolling rock of "It's All Good." Against East L.A. accordion and a snake's nest of guitars, Dylan tells you how bad things are - "Brick by brick they tear you down/A teacup of water is enough to drown" - then ices each verse with the title line, a pithy shot of sneering irony and calming promise. "You would never expect the record after Modern Times to sound like this", the source says. "Bob takes all of those disparate elements you hear and puts them into a track. But you can't put your finger on it - 'It sounds exactly like that.' That's why he's so original."

    Typical local news reporting, but you'll get the gist. Four-night run with a lot of chaos:

     

    If the Red Rocks goes down I do believe mountain bed has a hat to eat, too.

     

     

    I guess I forgot about that. I didn't realize they haven't played there since 96. I would think Red Rock's has recovered. Has Trey played any solo gigs there?

    Anyone here going to Hampton the weekend? I hope everyone behaves. Apparently Red Rocks is waiting to see how Hampton plays out before allowing Phish to confirm Red Rocks.

     

    Have there been issues with Phish in the past at Red Rocks?

    The Dead rehearsing for upcoming tour. (a good thing to see)

     

     

    Unfortunately I am at a computer with no speakers, so I don't know how it sounds.

     

     

    I finally heard it. Weir's voice sounded great as well as the rest. It's nice that they are continuing to release these YouTube clips, it definitely perks up my interest with each one. Looking forward to catching a show.

    I didn't respond last night because I knew there would be a lot going on here. But the best description of Jindal came from that girl who spends an awful lot of time at my house. She didn't know the speech was going on and walked in sat on the couch, opened a couple of beers and said, "What the hell are you watching? Is this the new Mr. Rogers? Why is he on at ten thirty at night?"

     

    To me Jindal reminded me of Kenneth from 30 Rock, in the way he talked and his mannerism.

     

    He did not have much to say.

    Louris/Olson at Park West

    Park West (a music club) is completely different from what Lounge Ax (a bar that had a stage) was.

     

    I'm sure Tweedy made that Lounge Ax statement because it was his wife's club, he played there a shit load of times, and it had recently closed.

     

    I don't think he was knocking the Park West.

     

    Park West is a great venue, as was Lounge Ax. But it's kinda of an apple and orange thing. You can't really compare the two.
