Do you care that Beck has a new album coming out
theashtraysays replied to KevinG's topic in Someone Else's Song
Had "Cycle", "Wave", and "Phase" on a loop in the car today. Really left me wanting more of that. I wonder what "Wave" would be if he took a "One Sunday Morning" approach to it... I could see it being a 10 minute song that seemed to last only 5. -
Is it just me, or do John and Jason have an awfully similar head of hair?

Smoking a couple pork shoulders all day. Kids are at the local comic con all day. Watching lots of basketball. Pretty good stuff...

Your Favorite Big Shows and Favorite Small Shows

Big: Roger Waters / The Wall (yes, all 3 times). Small: Califone in a bar in Louisville in January. Maybe 40 people. -

From the facebook (which, incidentally, I just joined yesterday. So I guess I'm not going to be the final holdout on the planet...) -

3 hours of sleet and slush followed by 4 inches of snow last night. After a Saturday at 60 degrees. I blame the groundhog.

Califone. Very excited. Except for the 9 degrees it's supposed to be tonight...

Tweedy Nominated for Producer of the Year Grammy
theashtraysays replied to Head in a Guillotine's topic in Just A Fan
Yes, and you could occasionally catch a glimpse of the "other" drummer (I assume Paul's regular guy) in the dark next to him. It was kinda sad. -
Would you mind voting for my son's violin teacher?

You can't earn your parent stripes till you've sat through Hot Cross Buns at least 10 times. Once you've cleared that, it's all downhill. -

theashtraysays replied to KevinG's topic in Someone Else's Song
Yes. Thanks for the info. ed: I like the single. Definitely a Sea Change vibe, which I also liked, but I do prefer some of the more creative / unique uptempo stuff. Sea Change is gorgeous if you're in the right mood, but I'd rather spin Modern Guilt or The Information if I'm just in the mood to listen to music. -

Favourite vocal 'off the cuff' exclamations

The deep breath after the unanswered phone call and right before Mother on Pink Floyd's The Wall. -

Liner Notes: what are some of the best?
theashtraysays replied to PopTodd's topic in Someone Else's Song
Yet another casualty of the convenience of the digital age.... MP3's and iPods and spotify and iTunes have pretty much eliminated these for me. One that I remember was the little poem on the back cover for Smashing Pumpkins "Adore" about the 17 track at the end : 17 seconds of compassion 17 seconds of peace behind which all is created 17 seconds to remember all that is good 17 seconds to forget all your hurt and pain 17 seconds of faith 17 seconds to trust you again 17 seconds of radiance 17 seconds to send a prayer up 17 seconds is all you really need -
Reservations. The album version is a lot more beautiful. The sparseness of it, the deliberateness of the piano, and the outro all "fit" the song much better than the acoustic guitar based version they do live these days. It loses its uniqueness (versus all the other acoustic guitar slow songs in the catalog) live for me. I think it's time to rework that one for playing live.

A Thread for Musical Blasphemy you Truly Believe
theashtraysays replied to hardwood floor's topic in Someone Else's Song
Funny you should mention that. It's not true, btw. One of the things I've enjoyed about Spotify lately is that I can download stuff to an iPod touch and listen to it offline in the car. And one of the things I've been binging on is old Queen. I was a huge fan of theirs in high school, but have since sold all my 8-tracks I had of theirs... So I've grabbed all their back catalog (up to about Jazz) from Spotify and have been listening to it a lot lately. It's been a great re-discovery and trip down memory lane. Both new and familiar at the same time. The thing that has surprised me the mo -

Christmas photos, stories, wishes?
theashtraysays replied to kidsmoke's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
Yeah, I love sundown on Christmas Eve.... that's when I know it's all over but the cooking and probably wrapping. The most peaceful moment of the year...
