i love that july 26, 1972 show then again ... i love every 1972 show (got 'em all thanks to the bt.etree.org 1972 project) playing today was the magic of jan. 2, 1972

wow, smudge ... not sure they're under-rated because i'm not sure they're even rated ... but they are great ... i thought guided by voices is the british guided by voices!

interesting thread, agree with many choices here ... the first two falkner records, definitely Ram, absolutely tusk i guess in a lot of cases these records are underrated because they were dismissed initially as not being the same as the artist's previous work -- obviously ram was very soon after the beatles, tusk followed rumours, and even falkner's stuff was on the heels of some pretty highly regarded jellyfish stuff i'd also throw mag earwhig! into the same category. following the incomprable trio of bee thousand, alien lanes and under the bushes under the stars and also a major personn

anybody going to the free show in philly tonight? will be a beautiful night & huge crowd ... fun times

was just listening to this show a couple days ago a personal favorite, and yeah, the They Love Each Other is great you can just feel the heat bubbling up through the music

hilarious seriously, you're complaining because some guy on an internet music message board has an attitude you don't like? stop the presses this place is freaking precious

very talented guy glad to see he's healthy and productive look forward to hearing all this stuff

OK, now we think we're clever by finding mistakes in posts? I've never seen a message board where the frequent posters show so much rage and fury toward those with differing opinions. It's sad when people are so close-minded and insecure they can't deal with varying opinions on something as subjective as art, books or music. Now, please, find some errors in my post so you can feel good about yourself for a few minutes.

pretty sad you can't handle somebody having different opinions than you why don't you go find a message board where everybody has the exact same taste. that would be real interesting

whatever, pal you interpret things the way you want to, i'll do the same this is the internet. the land of opinions. this album is REM admitting they have no ideas left it's almost as boring as that bon iver record ever around here is in love with

man, didn't even realize ... but i did listen to baltimore 1973 driving across a vast expanse of the midwest today miss him

because it blows? i find it an incredibly dishonest record this is REM finally realizing their last few albums were lifeless and selling less and less, so they listened to their fans - "we miss the old REM" - and recorded a record that sounds like old REM but without the songs. this is REM product. REM karaoke.

Meh

$57 at zoellner would kind of like to see byrne, but just can't pull the trigger on $57 + service charges

anybody who feels compelled to brag that he has good taste in music never does

bland and faceless almost as overrated as my morning jacket

weird how almost everybody on this board is so in love with the same stuff - bon iver, raconteurs, fleet foxes, dr. dog, my morning jacket, drive by truckers ... i can't stand any of those and the REM and vampire weekend records? seriously? the best things i've heard so far in 2008 are the british sea power, the alejandro, albert hammond and matt keating's quixotic, which is at the top of the heap

ya know, if you're coming from the allentown - bethlehem - easton area, you could just park at one of the northern SEPTA stations - Doylestown maybe? - and ride in but parking isn't all that bad. give yourself enough time & you'll be fine

happy birthday, jerry! np - englishtown 1977

dean's masterpiece i worship that little freaking record orpheus in his underware, magical dance number scene, sleepcure theory advancer, I don't mind dragging you down ... these are perfect pop songs if you haven't heard the Shafts, here's an MP3 of sleepcure theory advancer: http://www.indiepages.com/capstanshafts/sounds/sleepcure.mp3

1970

god-damn, yes incredible record we may be the only two people who have it

box of rain now playing @ starbucks in bethlehem, pa a thing of beauty

Steve Wynn is a fucking genius. This was a really tough project to pull off without sounding hackneyed and trite. But these guys have done it. And it seems like Steve is getting more pub for this than all his dream syndicate, gutterball and solo stuff. Hopefully, people hear this and go out and buy his earlier stuff, which is almost uniformly brilliant. Tell me when it's Over may be the best song ever. If not, maybe it's When you Make up your Mind. Or maybe As it Should Be? You can't buy a Steve Wynn record and not totally dig it.

would be 75 percent, if that helps
