I've heard several live performances and liked them all. I've only heard 1 or 2 tracks off the CD. It's been leaked, haven't listened yet. He's written some decent songs in the past 10 years, but none of his recorded work shows it. His studio work sounds very claustrophobic, redundant, and lacking in any dynamics. It's a shame. His work from Zen Arcade through Sugar is among my favorite music ever made.

Jerry Garcia on CSN - "Teach Your Children"

Arsehole!

I'm not a hater of music videos in general, but that one is pretty awful. I always liked the skydiving one for "Monday", right?

I can understand that reaction, and even though I've only seen it once' I'm going to go out on a limb and say you might change your mind after repeated viewings. That's how I felt about Big Lebowski.

I am still so touched that Jeff and Pete played together that I needed to update my avatar photo!

I am pretty moved at the though of Pete & Jeff playing together. I have a Children's concert from Seeger. My kids like to listen to it a lot. Dude is 90 and still playing. How cool is that?!

Shit. Vibes! All the best to you and your family.

That would be the best album title since The Replacements - Let it Be

Certain scenes made my palms sweat. I'm glad there's people in the world like him. I'm also glad I'm not one of them.

I understand getting teary at this. I hope there comes a day when this kind of thing is commonplace enough not to elicit an emotional response.

Loaded was part of a 3-cd live release. If anyone wants to help me acquire just Loaded, feel free to PM me.

Excellent. Downloading now. Did you listen to it? How's the recording quality?

Lots, mostly because of other commitments or not wanting to fork over the $$. Recently Ben Folds just last week, Andrew Bird, Wilco (in West Des Moines, just a month after I saw them in Chicago), on and on...

Listening to it right now, it's great!

W. meh. A few good scenes. My favorite moment was Rumsfeld eating Pecan Pie. While I don't doubt that Cheney feels the way he was portrayed in the "empire" speech, but I don't think he would've given it a room that included Powell.

Guilty pleasure. I love Renegade.

Gish was excellent, Siamese Dream was darned good, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness had some decent songs but was overblown. That was almost 15 years ago. I wonder what would've become of them had they not reached arena-rock god status. My guess is they'd still be putting out some great music. Did anyone else like the Zwan CD?

Can't find it on the Onion's Homepage, but on Facebook, I got this: Perfect! Somehow, I think Obama read this on his Blackberry and laughed his ass off...

Look at how Animal "watches" Buddy in amazement at the end! Some great guest musicians on Sesame St. linked here.

Mother - John Lennon Too Far Down - Husker Du

I'm not sure if this counts as a surprisingly good concert, but I found a surprisingly good jazz guitarist, Mark Whitfield, playing with Cyrus Chestnut. Chestnut was doing an Xmas tour about 7 years ago of mostly Guaraldi Peanuts music. Whitfield was phenomenal. I bought a CD that was underwhelming and he doesn't seem to be doing much noteworthy now.

I'm pretty sure they could cover anything and do it MORE than justice. Maybe even "Revolution 9". That's a band I don't listen to nearly enough.
