Nina Simone is where its at for female jazz singers, she can sing like a bird

Rage Against The Machine

Eh, the show was canceled, for good reason. The roads are in baaad shape

Yeah, now that it seems to be worse than I thought...I don't think I'll be making it to the show tonight :-(

You know I've never been there. So its bad venue huh?

Anyone going to this show tonight? I'll be there tonight with some buddies.

What happened to that DVD? Was the footage that Sam Jones shot that bad? I saw the Kicking Television clip and it looked decent...maybe one day they'll put it out

aw no Philly dates.

What a shitty list! Eminem is on it like 3 fucking times! Yeah, because his work makes for great rock and roll...ugh. What garbage

Yeah, the solo is just so raw, messy, loud, and rocking. I love it. Reminds me of Neil Young

Phonograph Article

Anyone know about this band? I just read this article and had to check them out. Went to their website and their label site has two songs uploaded. I can hear the Wilco comparisions..only that the verse on the first song is a slight rip of "I'm The Man Who Loves You" and the riff in the second song reminds me of the one in "At Least Thats What You Said"

But besides that it sounds pretty decent. I'll have to check out the rest of their stuff to really make a conclusion.

But I don't think they've taken alt-country to new levels, heh. Its not any different than what the Beachwood Sparks did

Television, you know that song by Wilco that its named after and influenced by...kicking television.

Velvet Underground weren't part of the Punk/Post punk wave, since they broke up waaay before that happened...they were certainly influential as were Lou Reed and John Cale, former members of VU.

I watched it last night on the webcast and it was great to see her accept the award. Shes wonderful, Horses is an incredible album. Zack de la Rocha's induction speech was great and highlighted why she is incredibly important.

I think it'll be interesting and worth checking out.

I can't decide. Like the other poster, as each song comes on I think its the best. I can't make up my mine. But I do dig Hate It Here and Sky Blue Sky bunches.

You have to try to get dumped like I did. It doesn't just happen over night.

Put some effort into it

Ha, I was just dumped 3 weeks ago I think. Well it was less than a week after Valentine's Day, so whenever that was. But yeah, this is a good break up album. When I listen to Sky Blue Sky it hits me. But I'm doing fine, because she left me for some scummy kid who has nothing going for himself.

Use google. Or wait till the second preview

Ha, this is the greatest thing ever

I think the drummer is the son of the drummer of the Violent Femmes

It seems he's playing the south, mostly Texas, right now. He playing Philly with the Avett Brothers in May, I'm going to have to catch that. Plus he's from Bucks County, so it would be a cool show since he's from Langhorne

Anybody know or like this guys work? I think he's pretty decent. He just signed to V2 records late last year and should be working on a new album.

I am holding out for when Wilco get the cover of this.

Who knows, they might be. They are considered to be a Gay Band by this website Love God's Way

Is it just me or is there a Big Star influence on this record?

Yeah man I hear it. Especially on Walken, it sounds like a rck and roll romp done Big Star style. IMO anyway, lol.

I've listened through it about 4 times now and I love it. You can hear so many different influences. Anybody get a Bob Dylan "Blood On The Tracks" vibe from "What Light"?

I could have sworn I saw Andrew Bird was credited for his violin part in Hummingbird...maybe it was the viola. Eh
