Is this the show you were talking about last winter? If so, it is up at Dime a Dozen.

nope. it was in minneapolis. 2/10/2003. crowesbase has 'none known' for audio sources. sigh:

wha?! new loudon! hadn't heard about that.

deer tick - black dirt sessions.

love it

PopTodd. that tim armstrong album is so great.

Many do not like Luther's "noodling" and Adam butchers some old classics.

 

I tend to agree with some of the complaints in regards to some old songs (Wiser Time - Adam just is embarrassing, and listening to him cover Ed on Descending is most awkward), however both are excellent on the albums they help create, and the live renditions.

don't disagree with this one bit. i think the new songs are great but sometimes dislike the old versions played live.

Renaldo and Clara use to be on Youtube. I think one of the greatest things about No Direction Home was the recent interviews he did for the film. I would be surprised if he ever did anything like that again.

those interviews are amazing. i need to watch that again.

the RTR era is my fave dylan period too. the whole thing just seems like a bunch of musicians who thought they could make a movie (and clearly taking too many drugs). it's a piece of shit. some of the live performances are great but i just want to see those. i have both on dvd actually.

eat the document & renaldo & clara flat out suck. they are a druggy mess/disaster. i tried watching both numerous times & had to just shut it off

i can only listen to check your head, sometimes paul's boutique. the others do nothing for me anymore.

Yup. Really diggin' that one lately. It's nice to hear the Roots more free to let themselves go. They're one of, if not the most talented bands out there, and Wake Up has some great examples of that. I'd never listened to John Legend, but he delivers some killer vocal performances. The vocals on Compared To What are unreal. And I Can't Write Left Handed is 100%

 

I'd love to hear more ______ & the Roots albums like that. Great as the arrangements of Roots songs usually are, it's nice to hear what else they can do.

that song 'wake up' is great. so positive.

i was shocked by john legend's vocals on the album. made me check out his solo stuff. it's good

I would agree. But it's still my #1 album of 2010. If those first six songs were spread out a bit more, the second half wouldn't seem inferior at all. As is, they're great songs overshadowed by a run of phenomenal songs.

there ya go! you heard the john legend/roots album? that is awesome.

check out some twin cities rappers:

P.O.S.

Brother Ali

both have some bragging but very social. and great lyricists.

maybe it is only the last two? i just think in general it falls off halfway through

Bizarre. They have so many better albums. Listen to How I Got Over. Pretty good case for hip hop's potential to really say something lyrically. I put that album up there with the best I've ever heard, lyrically.

the new roots is great, especially the first half. but the second half is too much typical bragging rap shit. those first 6 or 7 songs though, amazing.

the orb - metallic spheres

only checked it out because of the gilmour connection. not really my thing but it's decent.

moved on to:

michael franti/spearhead - the sound of sunshine. love it.

wow.

haha!

sort of a different category but songs that should've been on album but were never included:

up to me - blood on the tracks. always drove me nuts it was never on the official release

sam quinn - the fake that sunk a thousand ships.

damn good.

great call on sunny/curb. love both of those

superchunk - majesty shredding

my gap feels weird is the song of the year, imo.

That TDI thing just makes me smile.

And, mj: I was thinking more of songs that were written specifically for use as the show's theme.

yeah. that's why i said it probably doesn't count. damn cool either way!

treme is awesome.

does 'forever young' count on parenthood? ;-)

Ben Harper stopped being good after he released Burn To Shine. he's put out a few great songs since then but never a full album. Relentless7 was my least favorite thing he'd done honestly

spot on.

i like parenthood, quite a bit actually, but that ray lamontagne thing was annoying. they brought his name up every 3 minutes it seemed like

donald fagen - the nightfly. damn i love this album
