CortezTheKiller

Due to her glorious backing vocals and amazing drumming, I hereby declare Janet Weiss the MVP of this album.

They are nice. However, it's the overindulgent guitar solos that make this album an instant classic in my book.

i love that cd. i need to find it. had it at one point & lost it.

I grabbed it over on eMusic.

I've picked up 'Exile' twotree times now only to put it back on the bookstore's shelf. Tell me I am doing the wrong thing! Tell me I need to read this book!

A lot of heresay and unconfirmed bullshit in there. As a Stones fan, it was still an enjoyable read.

I always thought Mark and Gary listened to a lot of Ragged Glory before they headed into the studio to record Hollywood Town Hall.

Exile on Main St.: A Season in Hell With The Rolling Stones

I read that this summer. I just finished I'll Sleep When I'm Dead written by Warren Zevon's ex Crystal. Disturbing stuff. I've found myself going back and reading pieces of Neil's book Shakey. I read it cover to cover 5 years or so ago, but it is such a dense read @ about 750 pages or so. I love reading the parts about the recording of the albums.

within the last few days, nin sold out all 2500 of their $300 package. the site is finally back up after it crashed. this is awesome.

Ah. . . . . don't you mean Trent?

Things Ain't Like They Used to Be. I'm hearing some Cortez the Killer in there.

Even Rhett's solo albums sound like Old 97's albums.

My ears hear a little more pop sheen on Rhett's solo ventures. Also, really bad album covers.

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel

I was staring in my empty coffee cup

I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'

All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles

I'm gonna drink 'em up

 

And if California slides into the ocean

Like the mystics and statistics say it will

I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

 

Don't the sun look angry through the trees

Don't the trees look like crucified thieves

Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves

Heaven help the one who leaves

 

Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands

And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me

But except in dreams you're never really free

Don't the sun look angry at me

 

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel

I was listening to the air conditioner hum

It went mmmmmm..

 

Look away...

(Look away down Gower Avenue, Look away....)

 

WZ - R.I.P.

I'm reading I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.

I was there. He certainly didn't see me. Unless he was using high-powered binoculars.

Man this album is fucking good. I've spun it 4 times in the last 24 hours. "Things Ain't Like They Used to Be" is killer. "I Got Mine" rocks very hard. "Strange Times" has very cruchy guitars as has a bit of a Radiohead feel to it. I LOVE the bass and banjo in "Lies." Great key playing on "All You Ever Wanted." The production on this album is perfect. A few Keys fans I've talked to were very concerned about them losing their "garage sound" with Danger Mouse on board. I think they maintain it well and take their sound to another level.
