How about

Scruffy the Cat

?

 

I liked them.

great band

so much fun live

one of the best guitar sounds ever

Gin Blossoms' last record was really really good - Major Lodge Victory, from I think 2006 ... a real return to form

another one will be out this fall

great band with a surprisingly large catalogue that, sadly, they don't really explore during their fun but predictable live shows

all their solo stuff is ace, too

and really really nice guys

caught the She & Him Free at Noon gig at World Cafe in Philly today

my god, i didn't know live music could be this boring

excrutiatingly dull

zooey looked like she'd rather be anywhere but here

"Guided By Voices, the classic indie rock band from Dayton, Ohio formed by prolific songwriter and lead singer Robert Pollard in 1983, is reuniting its "classic '93 - '96 lineup" for Matador Records' 21st birthday party in Las Vegas, NV. According to Billboard sources, additional dates in other cities will be announced soon."

 

who needs billboard ... didn't i announce that yesterday?

this will be monumental

i will find my way to the first show, whatever it takes (and it won't be vegas)

the lineup is Bob, Tobin Sprout, Mitch Mitchell, Greg Demos and Kevin Fennell ... the classic lineup intact -- the group responsible for the greatest three-record run in pop music history --- Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, Under the Bushes under the Stars

this won't be a one-off

nothing announced quite yet but there will be a tour

the club is open

i remember watching this and being really disappointed with levon's version of tennessee jed

too slick & the horns don't fit

one of my favorite hunter-garcia songs actually & i'll take the dead's version

that said, i've been a huge helm fan since i saw him at carnegie hall at one of the old WNEW christmas concerts (late 1970s?) with the RCO All-Stars

hoping to get up to one of his barn concerns next year

7) Genesis: Trespass

it's mindblowing, but it is their second record ... released in october 1970

in march 1969, genesis released From Genesis to Revelation with gabriel, banks, rutherford, anthony phillips and john silver

interesting question

agree with a few already mentioned

murmur

if i should fall from grace with god

alien lanes

animals

can't disagree with aja

pleased to meet me

close to the edge

still feel gone

teenage symphonies to god

I was blown away by the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Expected a bunch of commercial country but it's 99 percent authentic country music -- bluegrass, mountain music, americana, roots ...

extremely cool place

The Best of Jill Hives, Guided by Voices

great song

Kelly Richards, Gin Blossoms

also a great song

anybody in the Philly area or New Jersey ... Tommy will be playing a few full-band dates this fall along the East Coast, including Club Cafe in Pittsburgh on Sept. 16, opening for Superchunk at the 9:30 Club in Washington on Sept. 17 and Sept. 18 at the Record Collector - a record store with a performance space - in Bordentown, New Jersey.

in Pittsburgh & Bordentown, Tommy will be playing the legendary "Songs from the Film" in its entirety, which should be very cool

tommy does not play out very often, but he is just fantastic live

a few other dates:

Sept. 8 Milwaukee

Sept. 9 Chicago

September 22 L.A.

Sept. 24 San Francisco

just heard this for first time

Thanks, I hadn't heard that one before. Great song! I wonder what the chances of Bob and Toby touring together again are.

i would say slim

bob has said he won't tour anymore & tobin hasn't played out since 2004, when he opened some shows for gbv

tobin is still putting out the occasional record but painting seems to be his main priority

here is Still Be Around from the Birchmere

link from the farrar message board

Okay, so not Pollard, per se...

But, this is the best TOBIN SPROUT song of the GBV years. And, sadly, it never made it onto any of their albums, just an EP"

 

 

Listen and love...
