The Real Sheila, Game Theory amazing track

i saw earle a few months ago and dug it i'm not in love with his new stuff but it's not terrible

i walked out of golden smog may be the only show i left early marah opened and absolutely killed golden smog came out and was afraid to play when they did, they blew and i like golden smog but that was pitiful i did fall asleep at a Suzanne Vega show once

seems a lot of banter once they got into the 1980s was pretty bitter toward the audience kind of weird they seemed to have a lot of contempt for some segments of their following by the mid-1980s

astounding son volt show in philly tonight farrar has never sounded better band was tremendous not in love with the never-changing set list but overall awesome stuff

Schubert fucking sucks

saw genesis 20 or so times (and brand x once, big robin lumley fan) and, yeah, collins was a phenomenal drummer but also at one point he really was an incredible singer listen to phil sing afterglow circa the 1978-1980 tours

vivaldi was a one-trick pony! FUCK those baroque violion concerti

Stevie Wonder blows

these are the legendary bands performing at the ATP festival i have no fucking desire to see any of 'em My Bloody Valentine Built to Spill performing Perfect From Now On Meat Puppets performing Meat Puppets II Thurston Moore performing Psychic Hearts Tortoise performing Millions Now Living Will Never Die Shellac Mogwai Polvo Fuck Buttons Autolux The Drones Low Wooden Shjips Edan with Dagha Thee Silver Mount Zion Orchestra

journey was actually incredible once upon a time long before steve perry joined, they were basically a group of santana sidemen (greg rolie, aynsley dunbar, etc.) i saw them twice during this period and they were phenomenal then perry joined and they spiraled downhill but for a while there, they were a hell of a band

yeah, to me Cuba and The RCA Album -- the two records with Bob Rupe -- were phenomenal then Walter forgot how to write good songs and that was it but those two records, Cuba, especially are stunning

the boatmen all-time top 10 band for me you don't love me yet may be the greatest pop song ever

tommy shaw, right? at least he showed a little restraint in styx but dennis deyoung sang all the good songs like pieces of eight and lady

can't disagree with any of 'em i would have found room for Natalie Merchant and her affected little trills

this might be the most unlikely one yet! unless mike scott hasn't figured out yet that karl wrote Ship of Fools about his stay in the waterboys Save me. Save me from tomorrow I don't want to sail with this ship of fools. No, no Oh, save me. Save me from tomorrow I don't want to sail with this ship of fools I want to run and hide right now Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea They will leave you drifting in the shallows or drowning in the oceans of history Traveling the world, you're in search of no good but I'm sure you'll build your Sodom like you knew you would Us

and of course Genesis with Gabriel & Hackett

didn't i hear they're reforming? playing a free 4th of july show somewhere in manhattan? at least with million & mercer not sure beyond that & too lazy to check right now

GBV

ya know, i have vista and while i actually don't mind it, it does seem to take up huge amounts of RAM apparently, there are a dozens of needless functions that are built into vista that use up vast amounts of resources. i'm a total tech moron and have been reading up on this stuff trying to figure it out supposedly, there are ways to deactivate or shut down these operations but i haven't figured out how yet. and i ain't messing with my registry so that really helped, didn't it?

great track that i'd forgotten about

Game Theory Two Steps from the Middle Ages still brilliant

i think we're going with musical blasphemy over here, mkush

my thread + cryptique is right post blasphemy start another thread if you want to argue about it (weird, but I think I agree with 95 percent of the stuff that's been posted in this thread)

from the SxSW site, here's an MP3 of the song St. Cloud by Matt Keating you'll dig it
