  3. yeah, ya know, i just never read music books so i hadn't heard any of the stories. plus i arrived late to the dead, finally getting it after turning up my nose at 'em for 35 years. so it's all still new to me. including this june 10, 1973, rfk show i just downloaded from bt.etree.org ncaa hoops on the TV, jack straw on audio
  4. i liked it i've never read anything about the Grateful Dead, so this really shed a lot of light on many things for me gave me a good feel for phil's perspective as the music and audience evolved and changed
  5. just finished Phil's book what a great read highly recommended

  7. standard gargoyle decisions + superman was a rocker are shit the takeovers + psycho and the birds records each have like 3 great songs and a ton of filler circus devils is unlistenable, other than the one or two token songs that sound like GBV coast to coast carpet of love starts out inspired and then just fizzles out pollard hasn't released a record that's up to his usual standards since From a Compound Eye unbelievable slump for the greatest songwriter who ever lived after 40 or whatever masterpieces in a row, from sandbox through FaCE, i wonder if he's capable of putting out a

  9. i heard impossible germany at a 7-11 convenience store yesterday stuck around to listen to it even though i already had my newspaper + bottle of water left before the guitar solo was over
  10. i saw hackett solo a couple years ago & he was tremendous i didn't think to put him on my list but he really is a hell of a player with a masterful sense of melody
  11. here's what bugs me about REM i mean, i grew up with REM as my favorite band -- for quite a long time. they were my doorway from prog into the guitar-heavy pop shit i've listened to for the last 20 years but, christ, every record they put out since they commenced sucking i'd read stipe say, "This is our best album yet." Every fucking one. And you know what? they all sucked. Up, Reveal, Around the Sun. sucked. and yet I'd read each time these arrogant fucking quotes from Stipe about how they've grown so much and are now releasing their stuff ever and i'd listen to this shit and say, um, n
  12. lol not sure what you mean by a vendetta, bro ... i just don't buy into the genius of this song. way too dramatic to make any sort of true emotional impact it's like being emotionally moved by a soap opera when you're being slammed over the head that something is emotional, it generally doesn't have any emotional resilience for me
  13. big fat meh to this song way too overly dramatic for my tastes i'm more at home with some crunchy smithereens guitars than some overly wrought sobbing, moaning jeff buckley wannabee droning "hallelujah" can't stand the song. can't stand buckley either. makes me wanna puke this is one of those songs that you're supposed to like for the purposes of indie cred but i suspect half the people who claim they love it actually can't stand it
  14. dig couldn't agree more it's not about "shredding" it's about making great music and that whole "bad vibe jay brought to the band" thing or whatever it was called ... let's not forget whose perspective the movie was made from, whose side it told

  16. great job, Doug ... not crazy about the last record, but the previous 50 or so were amazing ... euridice proudhon is spectacular ... dean wells is his name & he records everything in his kitchen in some little town in vermont absolutely brilliant stuff and much of it is available via free download

  19. "If" is actually a great song better than anything on Sky Blue Sky! had a girlfriend in college who loved Bread. yep, seriously. I laughed at her but later realized, damn, they're actually pretty good listen to "Everything I Own". great mid-tempo pop ballad
