lost highway

I just want someone to recognize that yesterday the Rockies beat the Reds 17 to 7!! 17 runs. They still want me to believe.

I think he means Mike Bloomfield on Highway 61 Revisited.

It's a Neve and they may have gotten it just before The Whole Love. The recording side of their gear collection has come a long way since SBS. Edit: actually, I'm wrong there. They got it after TWL. They did have a Neve sidecar that got a lot of use on that record, but it was smaller, so it didn't cover everything on the way in, and they weren't able to mix all the way across the board the way they can now.

I have long disliked guitarists that "shred" too much; fill the measures with flurries of fast notes. I've realized through enjoying Nels, the reason I dislike that sound usually is not necessarily because it's fast leads, but because guitarists in the rock category tend to approach those flurries with the same patterns, scales, and phrasing. If you slow it down, they're often playing very similar things. That's what makes people call it "wanky", very familiar patterns. Nels opens up his fret board and his fast picking to express so many more musical ideas. His extensive jazz and avant-g

There are some flagrant examples of overcharging in here, but generally I've found vinyl is more expensive. Years ago CD's were $10-15 and LPs were $12-16. Now most new releases on wax are $18-25. I guess the struggling industry is trying to get more margin out of a committed niche market.

They pulled info from the study. It's not exactly damning. Other than thinking rationally about the available info, and thinking critically about the lack of info, you have to ask how the money effects the discussion. Who has the most to gain by manipulating the dialog. It's no conspiracy, there's a clear history of using financial and political muscle to do just that. Do you think there's a reason for it?

The same EPA that congress won't allow to be advised by actual scientists? Yeah, no collusion going on there. But I suppose any skepticism towards environmental degradation for short term profit is pure communism? Actually, our mild-mannered EPA did have some negatives on fracking. What you were reading was the GOP retell. The study was weak because big oil lobbied them out of collecting new data, but they still found it can be dangerous for drinking water. As confirmed by this decidedly non-partisan resource: http://www.factcheck.org/2015/06/clearing-up-claims-on-epa-fracking-study/

Nice work, very "pro" sounding production. Kind of sounds like Ben Gibbard singing for the Gaslight Anthem, if you like that.

Yeah, that's wrong times three. 1) kraut rock of previous album, 2) more accessible than previous album and 3) diminishing returns. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I wonder if at this point they're even going to do a round of interviews. I'd love to hear more about the album process and the band’s mindset. It's been pretty much silent in that regard 'round the interwebs.

That's how I like my record reviews, spiced with cricket metaphors.

Sooo... I know marriage equality is HUGE and the Confederate flags going down was the right way to go, but who else is feeling like the TPP (Teans Pacific Partnership) deal is the backroom, ominous piece of our American political moment. Maybe it's not getting the attention it deserves.

And better than every song on WTA.

This guy gets it.

This stuff is all subjective, but I really struggle to see how someone would like Wilco (the album) more than The Whole Love.

Ladies and gentlemen, we've found one! Out of curiosity, what made you want to see Obama reelected at the time and why do you regret it now?

Sorry, off topic: Is anyone else seeing this as the most massive font on their screen?

I think he's out there to draw liberal fire away from the legit GOP candidates, he's a distraction. For a moderate swing voter (wherever he/she is) Marco Rubio and Bush are going to feel damned reasonable after some weeks of Trump ruling the spotlight with presumably intentional gaffes.

DGDGBD?

I totally geeked out a squire vint mod jazzmaster w new pickups and bridge. It was well worth it. I'm working on building a new recording studio where my detached garage once stood!

Aw you stole mine! Just got back from the theater. That was a good flick!

Maybe it stopped being funny to him.

If we're going to throw in new ones I'm going to have to put in an early vote for "King of You" as underappreciated. It's already gotten the underhand in a few reviews and I love the crap out of the groove.

I like when he described Jeff as "professionally rumpled".

Yeah I started trying to put it together and just got scared that my computer was going to turn into a stream of cartoon pandas offering a free credit check when I type in my social security number. Dropbox is a little more straight ahead.
