...and then I heard the recording of them closing the residency with this and....well, that was kind of a letdown, honestly.

I agree on that. I think it needed way more fiddle, especially since AB was there that night. It's such a fun ride on BT, and the live version just didn't seem to capture that. Maybe we just got spoiled with the live drone... but DIMD just wasn't quite the killer I was hoping for.

i voted iggy because i'm pretty sure keith richards has been dead for years.

Which brings to light the question "how are we really going to be able to tell?"

Which one was the smart one, and which one was the cute one?

I like it. A lot.

WHO IS BETTER VAN GOGH OR MONET??

Vinnie. Easy call.

This one's optimistic...

Does anyone know if that's a young Truman Capote in that avatar from that guy who's not posting here any more?

I heard that Glenn is auditioning all new crickets for the new record.

You jest!

No, in fact things or events can be put in order from most recent to first, or from first to most recent. Either way is "in order".

I thought "Either Way" was from the "most recent".

 

Just so everyone is clear, I bumped this thread specifically with Ellsworth in mind.

some things are better left unbumped

On the positive side, I can't remember the last time that Kentucky actually kinda mattered in a primary....

MMJ on SNL this weekend....

Do the folks who loved this album when it first came out still think it holds up? I am curious...

 

I think I am the reverse. I didn't like it all that much when it came out, but I spun it this morning for the first time since it was released when I spun it quite a bit and I liked it much more than I remember.

Me too. I had to put it away for a couple weeks after a few listens, and then get it back out. It has definitely been a grower for me. The EP songs are actually kinda helpful to round it all out. Last Flowers is great song, even though it has the same "sound" as Karma Police. And there are a couple of remixes of Videotape that I like as well. So, yeah, it's a grower.

Love and prayers, Kate. Feel free to share...

Crayon from pocket in dryer. Not a pretty sight. Increased the laundry diligence, though...

If you had to choose one, would you rather be with someone who a general apathy for music but enjoyed it somewhat or one who absolutely loves music but music you can't stand and you're forced to endure it?

Fortunately my wife seems to be OK with the latter.

I figured if I were stalkerish I wouldn't have to ask...

before they go on mini-hiatus for recording, wedding and birthing.

Anyone know the details thereof?

journey was actually incredible once upon a time

 

long before steve perry joined, they were basically a group of santana sidemen (greg rolie, aynsley dunbar, etc.)

 

i saw them twice during this period and they were phenomenal

 

then perry joined and they spiraled downhill

 

but for a while there, they were a hell of a band

must have missed that part. thanks. minor redemption, then.

OK, I stand corrected on the Cheap Trick thing. The last time I saw them was 1980 (true fact).

So if they're still going strong, then why on earth would they hook up with Journey and Heart on this Geritol Reunion Tour? Journey wasn't any good when they were allegedly good. Perhaps the most useless band in history, with the possible exception of Van Halen (ducks). Heart had a couple good songs early, but I saw them on TV a couple weeks ago... hooboy.

Is it money? Gotta be money...

There are some really awful reunion things going on now. I mean, c'mon, Heart, Journey, and Cheap Trick? That's just sad. Even the Police was a little like "woah". Most of these guys need to just leave it hung up when they call it quits. Guys like Jagger or Springsteen can hang in there and pull it off, but showing back up after 10 or 15 years is just plain scary for most of these guys. Roger Waters was scary.

I can't really think of a defunct band that I think would make better music reunited than what they've already done... there are plenty I'd love to see live, but none that I'd expect better new music from necessarily.

Steve Miller is the worst sounding live performer ever.

Peter Gabriel is a close second, but thankfully has a great supporting cast in the studio.

Michael Stipe is the most pretentious performer ever. Perhaps the most pretentious human ever.

Billy Corgan is a close second there. TheFutureEmbrace was a disaster.

The following 3 albums fully lived up to their hype:

- The Rising

- Sea Change

- American Idiot

I don't think my parents know what a Wilco is.

Same here, and that's probly for the best. Working on my wife & kids instead... some progress there.

Mobile has so many great sounds inside it. We saw Glenn & Nels on their solo/duo tour, and he didn't have one with him at that time but that would have been pretty cool. The crickets were cool enough. He had some kind of little box with 3-4 plinky metal strips on it (technical, I know) that he used for the start of Mobile.

Both of my parents were born & raised up near Wheeling (I think I saw where you're up there now going to school?). Kinda different up there than the rest of the state. Lots of trips when I was a kid, but haven't been there in probly 15 years. Hope the place is treating you well up there. Every now and then I get a craving for Decarlo's pizza and a visit to Jebbia's market...
