    Favorite Beatles Song

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    when i was a kid, it was I Should Have Known Better. loved that song as a 13-year-old

     

    now ... probably across the universe

     

    i remember the morning after john lennon was killed, we were in central park for a memorial and they had these huge speakers set up and david sancious was i think at the capital theater in passaic playing improv piano and they were piping it into the park. was amazing. i remember him playing something that morphed into across the universe and it just was devastating

    i'm stoked to see mark spencer w/ son volt. i have missed the lap steel in recent shows.

     

    of course tonight is the opener and jays fucking website is down.

     

    the new songs jay played on his solo tour (cocaine and ashes, big sur) sound like a return to the alt-country sound of yesteryear. i hope the volt breaks them out on tour.

     

    i wasn't in love with cocaine and ashes

     

    but very much looking forward to the full band shows as well

     

    jay's web site is a joke ... don't think jay or his management is real concerned with his fans

    I don't think Jeff reads this.

     

    but bon jovi does, so lay off the wise cracks please

     

    Happiness, it's been no friend to me

    But forever after ain't what its all cracked up to be

    Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy

    But I lost my faith when I hit reality

    I don't need no guru to tell me what to do

    When you're feeling like a headline on

    Yesterdays news

     

    Come on, come on, come on

    Give me something for the pain

    Give me something for the blues

    Give me something for the pain when

    I feel I've been danglin from a hang-man's noose

    Give me something I can use

    To get me through the night

    Make me feel all right,

    Something like you

     

    Loneliness has found a home in me

    My suitcase and guitar are my only family

    I've tried to need someone, like they needed me

    I opened up my heart, but all I did was bleed

    I don't need no lover, just to get screwed

    They don't make a bandage, that's going to cover my bruise

     

    Come on, come on, come on

    Give me something for the pain

    Give me something for the blues

    Give me something for the pain when

    I feel I've been danglin from a hang-man's noose

    Give me something I can use

    To get me through the night

    Make me feel all right,

    Something like you

     

    Pull me under (help I'm falling)

    Run through my veins (night is calling)

    To a place (feels like I'm flying)

    Where I feel no pain (christ I'm dying)

    Be the pillow under my head

    Cover me when I'm in your bed

    Take me higher than I've ever been

    Take me down and back again

    Come to me, be my disguise

    Open your coat, let me crawl inside

    Come on, come on, come on

     

    Come on, come on, come on

    Give me something for the pain

    Give me something for the blues

    Give me something for the pain when

    I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose

    Give me something I can use

    To get me through the night

    Make me feel all right,

    Something like you

    I would think even his most die-hard fans would agree with this. I like his solo albums and Search quite a bit. That said, I would easily take out 10% or more. The guy needs an editor to make a good album into a great album.

     

    an editor? that's like saying Shakespeare should have trimmed some of Hamlet and Macbeth, because they were too wordy

     

    i wouldn't change a damn thing on any of Jay's records, solo or son volt

     

    this is some of the most brilliant, inventive, compelling, cliche-free music i've ever heard

     

    then again, if ya dig 90 percent of a record, that's a pretty damn good percentage

     

    as for Uncle Tupelo, I would start with Still Feel Gone. tremendous

    There are moments when I feel they are trying to hard to recapture the past

     

    this hits the nail on the head for me why i don't like this

     

    this record screams out to me: "OK, what we've been doing hasn't been working, we know that. Let's make a conscious and transparent effort to do what people used to like." Just rings out disingenuous to me.

     

    Marah's last record struck me the exact same way. OK, this is our return to when we were fucking great.

     

    well ... why did you make me buy the last couple records then? that you claimed were "your best work ever?"

     

    bands that do this shit lose all credibility with me

     

    i can't even list to marah anymore because of this dynamic

    There were a lot of people trying to find tickets outside the theater on Saturday, and I didn't see anyone selling. Stroudsburg is sort of in the middle of nowhere, so I can't imagine there's a huge amount of local interest in the show, but I'm sure a lot of people will be coming in for it. You never know--check craigslist and ebay. Somebody might be trying to get rid of a ticket at the last minute. Good luck.

     

    thanks

     

    "sort of in the middle of nowhere" is putting it mildly! but there's nothing on stubhub right now or ebay - not even expensive-as-crap tickets - so it doesn't look good. small place. i'm bummed. if i don't get in, i'll scream louder than Donna!!

     

    but listening to April 10, 1978, Atlanta, is cheering me up a little

    after all the buildup, I was stunned at how trite most of his stuff is

     

    I gave him a fair chance but have no desire to ever listen to a piece of Bright Eyes music again

     

    how did the Village Voice put it? music for gawky drama girls?

     

    sure as hell ain't for me

    Feelies reunion?

    Yessir! Dickson Street Music Fest in Fayetteville! Slim chance I'll make it but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :dancing

     

    that would be so cool

     

    i saw open for REM back when REM didn't suck

     

    great double bill

     

    love the feelies

     

    i posted on dime once that it seemed like no feelies shows on dime included the song "Higher Ground," which I love. and i wondered why

     

    within an hour, their drummer posted and found me a few available shows that included it

     

    that's damn cool

    i remain baffled by peoples' refusal or inability to run bittorrent software

     

    it's ridiculously simple and easy for even the most novice computer user. for some reason, there's an air of mystery about this, but it literally takes 5 minutes to set up

     

    download azureus (free download -- go to http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.pp)

     

    register at one of the numerous sites -- dimeadozen & hungercity are my favorite (or don't & use eztree)

     

    click on a torrent (that has at least one seeder)

     

    save it

     

    when it hits 100 percent, you have the show. stick around & seed for others. you'll generally need a ratio of 50 percent uploaded to downloaded to remain a user

     

    no mystery about flacs either. just download the free flac front end @ http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html and convert the files to *.wav files you can do anything with

     

    this ain't rocket science, folks
