you ever seen a ghost?

>but it can be crazy-making to have multiple threads on one topic.

it can also be crazy-making to attempt to parse a 79-page thread looking for a link or some information.

yeah, i'm finally getting around to Dear Science, and digging on it.

-justin

All those that weren't initially pleased with the new My Morning Jacket please spend one week with it. Listen to it all the way through, every day. Let's come back and discuss. You can't use the excuse that you already gave it a fair shot. This is my plea to those that sound like my former self with respect to this record. Enjoy.

trust me, i have listened to it plenty. not only was i listening to .mp3s of the live songs months before the album came out, i even saw them in concert in September (for the second time...first time was in '05). i just don't like the album. i've been an MMJ fan for years and prefer pretty much everything else they've done to EU. massive, crushing disappointment with the exception of the final two tracks.

-justin

what if i started a thread that said "i like Wilco?" could that be a new thread or would someone post a response with links to every other thread ever created?

-justin

after seven years of living with it and eight years of being a massive Dylan fan, "Love & Theft" eventually became (and probably will stay) my favorite Dylan record.

-justin

>(hey do you know GregRVA?? you both live in Richmond....)

i've PMed with him some, but we haven't met up yet!

-justin

Senor, senor, do you know where we're headin'?

Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?

Seems like I been down this way before.

Is there any truth in that, senor?

i always liked these lines from the same song:

the last thing i remembered before i stripped and kneeled

was a trainload of fools bore down in magnetic field

it specifies the apocalypse the song promises as something nuclear.

also, there is a story he would tell in '78 before he would play this song...something about a man he met on a train with burning eyes...really creepy.

-justin

glad you had a good time.

one simple fact: people that don't like modern-day Dylan (albums, live, etc.) don't get it. it being Dylan, music, life, whatever. :-)

-justin

ones that have stuck in my head recently:

Ain't nothin' left here partner, just the dust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid

From now on, this'll be where you're from

Let the dead bury the dead. Your time will come

Let hot iron blow as he raised the shade

On the rising curve

Where the ways of nature will test every nerve

In the valley of the giants where the stars and stripes explode

The peaches they were sweet and the milk and honey flowed

You've wasted all your power

You threw out the Christmas pie

Now you're withering like a flower

You'll play the fool and die

Should be the time of gladness

Happy faces everywhere

The mystery of madness

Is propagating in the air

I went down where the vultures feed

Woulda went deeper but there wasn't any need

heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men

It all sounded no different to me

-justin

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant [EP]

Beck - Modern Guilt

Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs

Department Of Eagles - In Ear Park

massive disappointment:

My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges

still looking forward to:

Kanye West - 808s and Heartbreak

Neil Young - Live at Sugar Mountain

...and, i don't care what anybody says, this was a 2007 release:

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

-justin

>Thanks Jules. I must have skimmed over that part.

someone said they played "Christ For President" as well.

-justin

>I love the inclusion of "Wilco" into the lyrics.

i hope this isn't in the final song. i'd imagine it is a placeholder line anyway, but i guess we'll see.

-justin

>People are always holding up Radiohead as this prototype of genius because they push the limits. They also sound tone deaf w/o melody half the time to my ears.

i agreed with you all the way up until this point.

-justin

I take it to mean it was a "Colbert exclusive" because Tweedy used Colbert's name in the middle of the song. When or if this song appears on an album, that probably wouldn't be the case.

 

 

 

Lots of good band name/songs listed.

or because it was debuted on the Colbert Report. some of you guys take things way too damn literal.

-justin

Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?

Wilco - "Glad It's Over"

-justin

seemed pretty well fleshed out, so i'm guessing the Colbert and Wilco parts of the song were just inserted...

great stuff though!

-justin

some Radiohead stuff has great strings.

-justin

in this thread as well, on the first page.

-justin

people tend to like the outtake version "New Danville Girl" a lot more. it's been a long time since i've heard it and all my bootlegs are packed away, so it would be tough for me to say...

-justin

i think "You And I" was Tweedy solo. anyone have an .mp3 of that one?

-justin

>Maybe Slow Train Coming there are some god tracks on that but its still subpar.

was that a typo or a clever joke? :-)

-justin

the 5.1 mixes on the Dylan SACDs sound pretty good. The Flaming Lips DVD Audio stuff too.

-justin

you sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

-justin

rumors:

- a deluxe edition will include 5.1 surround

- new stereo mixes for both standard and deluxe editions (original stereo mixes being retired)

- mono mixes and extra tracks on the deluxe edition

- deluxe edition might also include hardbound book

makes sense. i guess i'll be buying the damn deluxe editions. those always sucked me in (read: Bootleg Series, Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs). couldn't hurt though...especially when i finally upgrade my sound system to 5.1!

-justin

yes, i'm pretty sure "Tryin' To Get To Heaven" is from the Crystal Cat (a bootleg company) release of that show, which is an audience recording.

>Yes - the "Blind Willie McTell" and "Cocaine Blues" and "Born In Time" tracks are actually listed on the Lovesick single as 'field recordings.'

Brother Theodore, I've been searching online for high quality rips of those Lovesick singles (I think there are three) for some time. I don't suppose you'd be willing to up 'em in high-quality .mp3? If not, I understand, but I tought I'd ask.
