Was the author just stretching? I think he was looking for comparisons that just don't exist. John is probably the best comparison in Wilco, but does anyone think that their Jeff/John relationship is anything like Bruce/Clarence? The only working relationships that come to my mind are hollywood. Martin & Lewis, Damon & Afflek??

I was a bit peeved that BT was a double CD. It seemed so unnecessary at the length it was. A gimmick. That's my only complaint about it. So if there's enough music to squeeze on 1 CD, I prefer they do that. Is it possible that a band like Wilco will sell more vinyl than CD? I assume downloads will be their #1 medium.

The Current is previewing a new track. It's fantastic! http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/music_blog/archive/2011/06/debut_the_jayha.shtml

This is sad

Loved the v-roys, I have Scott's 1st 2 solo albums and then sort of lost track. This bit was totally awesome.

Offensive jokes are, IMO, fine if they're funny. The have to be funnier than they are offensive. I'm glad a gay found that joke funny. I did not. Having said that, if I were a moderator, I wouldn't have deleted it.

Kids concert featuring http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty33v7UYYbw AND (apparently only one media link allowed per post, so stay tuned...)

Beautiful, beautiful song. I wish the v-roys had stayed together. Just Add Ice is a gem. I used to get emails from Miller, but he never seems to leave the south these days, so I gave it up.

Can't Hardly Wait

70 tomorrow!!! Or today where Froggie is.

Harmon led a life away from the spotlight for the past 35+ years. He's beloved in Minnesota, but not nationwide. "Macho Man" did all he could to maximize his national exposure beyond his prime. Killebrew was 74, Savage still in his 50s. I am much sadder about Killebrew's death because I've been a Twins fan since childhood (around the time he retired), but I understand why most people are more shocked and/or saddened by Savage's death.

I love that picture except its setting. RIP Harmon. Fuck the Yankees.

Talent Show is one of my favorite 'mats song. Achin' to be was ahead of it's time. I'll Be You is Good. Most of the rest is pretty lame, so I'd never buy it on vinyl, even if I was a vinyl collector.

Harmon Killebrew enters hospice care This fills me with great sadness. When Kirby died, I bawled. Didn't bawl for this, but did get teary and do every time I think about it.

In honor of Stevie Wonder's 61st and Friday the 13th, I shared this with my students today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZFf0pm0SE

I like it when Bruce doesn't take himself so seriously. That was brilliant and funny as hell.

I always liked that Beck/Stewart version. I think it's the first I remember hearing.

As a middle school teacher, let me tell you, there are plenty of Nirvana fans out there who have no idea what context the music belongs in. Pretty much anything made before 2000 is "classic rock" to them, which makes sense considering they were born around 1997. But still, to them The Beatles = Kiss = Van Halen = Nirvana. Kids going to a Miley Cyrus concert may hear that and think, "Hey, I heard that on my dad's radio station once, cool!" But the kids who stay into it will because they heard it on their dad's radio station, brother's iPod, or friend's house, not because Miley sang it. Sh

It might fit the dictionary definition for odd and incongruous, but so does an outfit with plaid and stripes. This was beyond odd and incongruous.

One wonders if she fully appreciates the irony. She, like Debbie Gibson, has her own perfume.

Still wrong thread, getting closer.

I made a new thread for that Miley Cyrus video if someone wants to post it up here.
