No love for Chuck D & the boys?

So I started this damn country band cause punk rock was too hard to sing.

The songwriting on AKM is awesome. I remember the first time I listened to it I had a big 'ol shit-eating grin on. Brilliant.

solace - I didn't know you had a thing for royal blue wife-beaters. It looks good on you.

Me too. But that's for the band to decide I guess. Lop off the Shonna songs and You and Your Crystal Meth and I think there might be more kudos for the record. However, as it is, it been pretty well reviewed this year. See for yourself.

Plus you're more hip than me.

I have Fiestas + Fiascos. It's okay. I don't think it holds up to BAGIA, SS, or AKM, all of which are outstanding in my opinion.

I never noticed that there were a disproportionate number of touring musicians that were overweight.

Get to the 2nd to last song. It's the best on there.

I'm not sure if you ever saw what he looked like when he joined DBT back in 2002. I picked up Decoration Day on vinyl at the Boston show and on the inside flap is a picture of the band, and Jason looks like he just ate John Neff he's so fat. I was shocked. He obviously dropped a shitload of weight. But some of the pictures I've seen of him lately have him slowly inching back towards 2002.

3 Dimes down and 25 cents shy of a slice of the doublemint twins. Come back Mrs. Peel. Rock and roll never forgets.

Maybe that explains why Jason is starting to revert back to his old pudgy days. When stacked up against others in the band's catalog, those are average songs. Of course it's strictly my opinion and I don't imagine you will agree with me.

All I know is I can't stop looking at the chick from Girls Aloud who is sitting down daring you to inspect her beaver.

Unfortunately the review/description set up some pretty lofty expectations for them.

And who are these naughty vixens?

I tried to get it - with the comparisons to The Band, Dylan, and Neil Young. I couldn't do it, and think the comparisons are unwarranted.

Alright Mrs. Peel. You bring up some valid points. DBT definitely misses Jason's harmonizing vocals. Well, let me rephrase that. Mike Cooley misses Jason's harmonizing vocals. I think Shonna does a great job harmonizing with Patterson, but there's nobody left in the band who can harmonize on Cooley's songs. In comparing Jason to John Neff (his "replacement"), I think Jason is a more accomplished guitarist (Jason is an amazing slide guitarist), but I like what Neff brings to the band as a pedal steel player. He's also a capable guitarist and can play a good slide, just not as well as Jas

Touche Ms. Peel. I'm working on my retort when I have a few minutes to put some thoughts on the screen.
