  1. For someone who listens to Adele and other radio-friendly music, that's probably the best you can expect. I would start with Being There, A.M., SBS, or W(TA) before getting into the more dissonant stuff. The thing with with YHF, though, is as dissonant as it is, there are lots of great melodic hooks.
  2. I am not for a total ban of hand guns like they have in the UK. But one cannot question it's effectiveness in bringing down the murder rate. They apparently have higher crime rates in some areas, probably because criminals feel emboldened knowing their victims do not have guns. I think it's a fair (and tough to answer) question how much freedom we sacrifice to save lives. I have no problem with banning big magazines, (some) assault rifles, getting rid of the STUPID gun show loophole, and lots of other restrictions. But I also like the idea of conceal & carry laws. I doubt I'd ever c
  3. I've seen Gerald w/ Justin many, many times. It's clear enjoys the gig. He and the whole band are so warm, receptive and respectful towards kids. It's something to behold.
  4. Bob Mould - Workbook Velvet Underground - Loaded YHF
  5. Uh oh. A 17 year old. Let's all stay PG-13 here.
  6. I loved the tune with just one listen. Need to give it more. The video was appropriately creepy for Bowie. I'd love to see his son (Duncan Jones: directed Moon and Source Code) direct a video.
  7. Going back to Whiskeytown is a good idea. Gold is my favorite solo. The most rockin' other than Rock and Roll, which is also good, but it's straight ahead modern rock and not like most of his other stuff. Gold is 70s rock.
  8. Hot Wax was great. I hope this one is as good and he gets some publicity. The man needs $$ pretty badly, I think.
  9. I hope he finds his dog too, but who the hell would want to be a character in a Lehane novel?? That couldn't possibly end well.
  10. This is probably more fascinating than the Star Wars Holiday Special. Watch it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WmOvoqlmZE
  11. Avett Bros. in Des Moines at the 80/35 Festival. 1st time. They're becoming quite commercial, but boy do they bring it live.
  12. I assumed those were his favorite concerts of the year.
  13. Do you have the DVDs? Go back and watch w/ commentary. It really was an incredible show. Writing, casting, acting, music. Nearly every moment pitch perfect.
  14. I love Pillars of the Earth and World w/o End. The thickest "light reads" I've ever tackled.
  15. Do you think people who happened to die that day thought they were experiencing the end of the whole world?
  16. Anything I can get my hand on after today. Some beer, some Templeton Rye. Fuck.
  17. QFT. Maybe the smartest thing said about politics on VC in a year.
