  1. My wife doesn't mind Phish - in fact she used to go see them with me in the '90s. But after Garcia died and the whole scene exploded with some of the worst aspects of Dead Tour, she began to actively hate 'em - the fans, anyway.

     

    Still, when that last tour came around she went to those Deer Creek '04 shows with me (along with my kids, who were old enough by then to expose to the 'scene'). I thought it appropriate that the last notes I ever heard the band play was Page's somber ending to the "Coil".

     

    Damn, I miss those guys. :ohwell

    although Trey did almost ruin the ned. He was a little off on that song.

     

    Amen on missing them though. Summers are hard with out them to look forward to at least catching a couple shows on a tour.

  2. my wife and I have about 50% common interest. She love Wilco, Son Volt, UT, Whiskeytown, the Dead, PJ and some others that I truley like if not love. She's not as expirimental as I am, usually she doesn't get to excited about going to shows unless it's an established band that she likes. And i listen to a lot of stuff she down right loathes, as I'm sure a lot of other people do to. Like Phish, she hates Phish with every fiber of her being, I'm assure her she is not the minority on that. But there are many others I listen to that she will walk in and be "What the hell is that?"

    She likes alot of typical girl alt John Mayer, DMB, Sarah McClaulin and then the kicker is the JT fixation she has (although I don't hate him, don't like his music much, but don't hate him). But I love her all the same and likewise her with me. She puts up with me spedning money on travelling to concerts, my son was 8 weeks old and she let me go to Deer Creek to see my last Phish shows in '04, so she is ok in my book.

    you will not be dissapointed seeing the Meat Puppets. Saw them in March and had no expectations, and they blew me away with their energy.

  4. American Psycho - Treble Charger (or was that the early 00's?)

    Summer Sanders - Daddy's Soul Donut

    Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth - Primitive Radio Gods

    Teen Angst - Cracker

     

    Also, PotKettleTug ... Are you thinking of "Super Bon Bon" by Soul Coughing?

     

     

    most likely yes. I always get those 2 bands mixed up.

     

    Candlebox--Cover Me, Far Behind

    Sponge--can't remember the name of the songs but I remember the band for sure

    Boom Crash Opera--Onion Skin

    World Party--Message in the Box

    Lightening Seeds--Pure and Simple

    Concrete Blonde--Joey

  5. Another add to my rant:

     

    All highly toughted alternative acts are overrated based on the premise, no band can live up to the degree of critical hype that is laid on them. Some people like that music, some people don't, they are always going to be overrated to someone. There will never be another big thing because it rock music in general is not new. Everyone has been influenced by someone who has done it before, and most likely did it better.

  6. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is annoying, expcially when they share the microphone and do the back to back guitar thing, they all dance around like they are the kids at the high school dance that can't keep rhythm.

     

    Van Morrison is easily the most boring musician still alive, Brown Eyed Girl infuriates me, as does Wild Nights

     

    Phish, and the jamband scene as whole, including the surviving members of the Grateful Dead should have called it quits after the summer of 1998 for no other reason than to stop bands like Umphrey's McGee and Widespread Panic.

     

    Jimmy Buffet sucks, Parrotheads are nothing more than yuppy Deadhead light that want to have the word "head" attached to something that they claim to have an interest in that makes them wild & zany.

     

    Bob Dylan should only write songs and not sing them, and I love Bob Dylan.
