Cadillac are desperate to look hip and attract a new generation of buyers (I guess they have the 80yo's and now going after the boomers). They used Led Zeppelin's music in their ad campaigns the last several years. Dylan did start selling his songs for TV ads about 10 years ago...Bank Of Montreal. Then again, his song rights were owned by Michael Jackson, so I don't know who was behind that decision.

Manny Ramirez.

Just trying to make a little grim. Problem with this thread, I read the first 10 pages and saw not even a mention of that four-letter word where blood has been spilling for, what......56 months now?

Y'all. Y'all are what's wrong with this country. And this thread, too.

He kind of looks like the freak love child of Beck and Ryan Adams. (and he did play on Heartbreaker)

It's a tough call...I think RA could hold more liquor down, but Jeff could be blasted out of his mind and still punch the crap out of Ryan. So, yeah.

He's profiled in an Annie Leibovitz photo piece on folk stars in Vanity Fair, I was reading it at my stepmom's place tonight. Hadn't heard of him before.

Wow, just discovered him. Good stuff.

I read a blog post recently on the topic.

Jeff pushes the vinyl pretty hard. "There's a lot of things that we still have faith in. I still have a lot of faith that there's very few people who are savvy enough to actually produce a good sounding copy of the record. I also believe that in general there is no good sounding copy of the record other than the vinyl. I think that vinyl versions of the last few records are far superior." (pitchfork interview)

Chrones is a bitch. Take it easy Lou....put your feet up and watch some baseball.

Sarchi's alternative list of over-the-top 80s songs; 10 Neil Young, Keep On Rockin' In The Free World 9 Guns 'N' Roses Welcome To The Jungle 8 N.W.A. Straight Outta Compton 7 Dire Straits Money For Nothing 6 Quiet Riot Cum On Feel The Noize 6 Tears For Fears Shout 5 Tracy Chapman Fast Car 4 Laurie Anderson O Superman 3 Katrina And The Waves Walkin On Sunshine 2 Alison Moyet Love Resurrection 1 Van Halen Panama I couldn't figure out how to work Billy Idol, U2 or Duran Duran in there, but you get the idea.

Hey all, I noticed that Todd The Vinyl Junkie seems to have the BT import pressing in stock for $29.95. http://www.ttvj.com/index.php?main_page=ad...p;keyword=wilco I've never dealt with him, but just thought I'd pass this on since it was apparently becoming pretty scarce.

I like Ryan, and that's a decent enough article. But the Dylan comparisons are a bit much.

Again, I highly recommend the biography Ramblin' Man. It outlines Woody's position fairly well, including his feelings about writing for The Daily Worker. Very complex guy...you could say he ran the gamut from patriot to anarchist. He didn't have much use for politics.

Rock critics gazing at their navels........blech. GMAFB.

+1 I especially think Astral Weeks is a masterpiece. I also enjoy the pre-solo stuff when he led Them.

Someone there has good taste, they've featured Austin scene stuff before e.g. Townes Van Zandt.

SOLD This ticket is for 10/19 {THIS FRIDAY} at Palumbo Center (Duquesne U.). It's a floor seat in Section 3, Row BB. Cost was $37.25 with sc's. Best offer gets it. I wish I could be there but I can't make it down. Contact me privately if you want it, the sooner the better obviously.

It's a cartel thing.

Yep.....seriously fucked up. They're making an "example" out of a single mom. God Bless Big Oil.

You're right....d'oh. thanks

Have people received their Pittsburgh pre-sale tickets yet?? I haven't.

We had something like this that kept my son mesmerized for the first year or so of his life. http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Ocean-W...m/dp/B00005YVRN

Well, I suppose it's better than having an unbalaced tonearm... And it's a lot 'better' than fucking up your stylus with silly putty.
