people are leaving

Some of the SST bands were without of doubt, releasing a lot of good material. That being said, I wish felt the need to revisit my Minutemen and Husker Du records.

still meh

best of the 80's is an oxymoron

Where's a good place to start ?

Not liking The Beatles is like not liking air. I wish Bud Powell was a household name. "The Sound" and his idol "Prez" had the best tone of any of the tenor sax gods. The only thing that sucks more than cancer is Radiohead. "Mrs.Miller's Greatest Hits" gives me great joy. 'Crash' is the worst "best movie" selection of all-time I hate Sheryl Crow. I wish more people knew the real story. See Kevin Gilbert related artists Robert Pollard is truly a great songwriter, non-sensical lyrics and all. Colin Moulding should've gone solo years ago. I'd like to thank Kurt Cobain for putt

I've been playing this soon-to-be psych classic all year. GREAT record. The review doesn't even mention one of the songs of the year in Don't Worry Marie. El Goodo - Coyote El Goodo combines the mellow and melodious psychedelic sounds of the Beach Boys, The Byrds and Love with beautiful and lush arrangements that call upon the mystical countryside from whence they came. The result is the creation of a mysterious, sweepingly grand, and at times whimsical approach to their already eclectic soundscape. Their intoxicating sophomore release, is both sprawling and hauntingly deserted, evok

I didn't realize they had a new record coming out. I'm definitely a fan and will be checking this our pronto. One of their earlier releases, Later Days is verrrrry Wilco-ish and great to boot.

....unshelving. ....and thanks.

I'm a fan, and was excited to hear he had a new one coming out so soon. I played it just a few times and other than Let's Break Up, which is great, I shelved it. How does it stack up against In Field & Town? which is pretty, pretty, pretty good.

I've been enjoying his new record for the last month or so. Another one I haven't seen mentioned is Ladies Love Oracle, which technically, is his first solo release. It has that sparse, DIY asthetic, though I remember reading somewhere it was recorded in Jon Brion's basement.

One thing I've discovered over the last year or so, is with so much new music readily available via download, purchase, or ahem, other means, it's ostensibly hard to play my old records. You know the ones I mean. They had the ability to be both moving and give some needed inspiration if that was what you were looking for. If you were lucky they'd tug on a memory and bring you back to that specific time or place when everything was good. I miss that. With little to no extra time in my day, I'll give a record a cursory listen, and if it's not doing it for me I'll move on to the next. The time sp

My copy arrived yesterday. Looking forward to cracking this open later tonite.

It is. I wish directors and hollywood types in general could learn to trust their audience a bit more. We would all benefit if they checked their maudlin-isms at the door. As for The Felice Brothers, I can certainly relate. If they're pulling that string, that's all you need to worry about. The sound they're going for is certainly in my wheelhouse. (see Zimmerman related artists) I dig your avatar.....as well as the last one featuring Declan M.

The track 'Big Sur' is especially good.

Have you ever paid Big Pink a visit ? I understand how imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but with all due respect, this is downright obnoxious. Go put on The Basement Tapes and be done with it

I made the mistake of listening to Earthquake Glue on this train this a.m., and in particular, The Best of Jill Hives. I'm f'd for the rest of the day.

I'd love to hear this.
