  1. Whoa, 12 posts and dissing the group Jeff thinks is the best group he has ever had...yikes...no offense, but they aren't THAT bad. What light is hardly my favorite either, but still... LouieB
  2. Paul is an attention hog.....heaven forbid he should allow Ringo any credit for being a Beatle. LouieB
  3. Happy Birthday!!! A bit late... LouieB
  4. Well most people neither know of nor care about any of those groups anymore....totally relegated to the bustbin of music... Strangely no one seems to have mentioned Phil Spector's groups either. And for some more recent groups, how about Poi Dog Pondering and The Mekons, both of whom have violin players featured prominently. LouieB
  5. She was on one of the morning shows today....yikes...scary crazy. LouieB
  6. Wow, really? He was in tons of movies and TV shows. Sad... LouieB
  7. Yea, I didn't see who this was, but I kind of dug the marching band thing...but then again I didn't stay to the end either. The song wasn't doing a thing for me. LouieB
  8. All of this was better said by "The Baffler" what seems like a generation ago, but was actually only around the turn of the millenium. To say we are in a cultural vacuum is vacuous in and of itself. LouieB
  9. Someone should write an article on the term hip (which started out as hep...), and work their way through the 20th and 21st century uses of the word. It is a pretty old term (but in this case hilariously pejoritive...I might add....) LouieB
  10. For all you old timers.... The Flock Its a Beautiful Day Seatrain LouieB
  11. You can actually see "the drummer " if you are refering to Glenn Kotche the current drummer (or are you speaking of Ken Coomer the former drummer..not sure), in small venues fairly often. I was practically sitting inside his drum kit the other day at a loft show. LouieB
  12. SBS is a perfectly fine album. It has some great stuff on it. Not every album has to hit a home run. Some recording artists put out hundreds of albums during their careers and they aren't all masterpieces. SBS is the album Jeff wanted to put out when he put it out. Let's wait and see what happens next. (On what basis is the word light a metaphor for hope?? Aren't there other meanings to light and other metaphors??) LouieB
  13. Mick Jagger has made a pretty good living doing that. LouieB
  14. Yea okay, so it is a loss leader...I get it...not being an MP3 guy I don't cruise the sale aisles for this kind of stuff.... What are the sales on this thing?? It was supposed to be a big break out for Andrew, I was just wondering... LouieB
  15. Yea me too, but mostly because XRT plays both WAY too much. LouieB
  16. I am kind of glad they never got BS back together for a dinosaur tour. I am sure Palmer and Martin could have used the money, but otherwise there was very little point. BS was great when they were together, a seminal group (in the true sense of the word) and then they imploded and that was that. Good for them. LouieB
  17. or Last Time Around.... Sad really. He never had much of a career after this. LouieB
  18. Jewish immigrant fiction... The Williamsburg Trilogy by Daniel Fuchs Call it Sleep Henry Roth Shadows on the Hudson Isaac Bashevis Singer The Family Carnovsky I J Singer The Rise of DAvid Levinsky DAvid Levinsky LouieB
  19. Yup, it's Thursday night again....cue the indie rock soundtrack.... I have no idea what this first song is...but she did play the Pogues.... LouieB
  20. I have Wild Man Fischer on a rather beat up but playable LP. I doubt it is anywhere on CD. the question is whether or not it is still worth playing. I have not listened to it in years. LouieB

    Wilco Vinyl

    Somehow I think this has to do more with market forces (supply and demand) than prayers.... LouieB

    Wilco Vinyl

    Looks like it doesn't it. Why shouldn't Wilco reissue this under some sort of arrangement with Nonesuch and make some money on it. It will satisfy those who want this on vinyl and only partially tamp down the collectable market, since it will be under a different company and not the original issue. Those originally released will still go for big money for awhile. LouieB
