her voice gives me the heebeejeebee's

I saw Shear at the old Chestnut Cabaret in Philly probably in the early 1990s he was real good I kept yelling out for "Good Reason," a great Jules & the Polar Bears track, but he wouldn't play it

The Feelies are as great as ever

they should be up for a week any problems, i can easily repost 'em i think i'm going to post one GBV show each week for the next 52 weeks if people are interested

people have been doing house concerts and house tours for years great idea but siberry certainly didn't invent it in the last few years i've seen steve wynn, graham parker, jules shear and matt keating at a house in jersey fantastic way to see music and terrific for the artists, who leave with a grand or so plus lots of merch sales

glad everybody's digging the shows they've never been better live & i think a big reason is drummer jack slick ... the guy is a beast

well, that's ironic any idea what the issue was? i can't imagine the band had anything to do with this?

figgs are great, too even though they wouldn't play favorite shirt when i saw 'em and yelled out for it

i'll have to check out the new one i saw parker a couple years ago in a tiny house concert (with jason victor) and it was just mind-blowing great the guy's body of work is astounding and he's one of the few of his generation who's still putting out great music

very good record

the show is archived here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125739676 sadly, it's only the portion that was broadcast ... so we're actually missing the last 45 minutes or so if not a little more

oh man, i don't really know their stuff well enough to answer that i believe they did "from" they did "my friend" and they definitely did "worst trip" sorry, that's all i remember great set

that's the set list from the part that was broadcast on WXPN ... they stayed and played another 35 or 40 minutes of requests and it was just incredible amazing set

i'll be there

i once asked bob before a gig about his no-hitter for wright state and he went on for 10 minutes about the game, and by the end of the conversation he was ripping larry bird and telling me his brother jim should have been Mr. Basketball for Ohio in 1975 or so instead of Jim Paxson

Dr. Dog is free @ noon show at World Cafe Live in Philly on Friday see ya there

cool, when's the gig?

yeah, but how many beers did you have tonight? ow! i need to check that one out -- is it from planets are blasted? i would say the same thing about radical amazement ... an almost GBV-esque track ya know, as good as some of these songs are though, there's still something missing ... that musical edginess gillard brought, usually in the form of lyrical, riff-based intros that are repeated later on in the bridge or coda ... seems like almost all of bob's recent stuff is chord based and not riff-based ... taken individually, it's no big deal, but album after album of it is a problem

i need to give planets are blasted another shot

have you heard 0 to 99? it sure ain't alien lanes, but it's significantly better than everything else since FaCE. it's the first record he's put out in five years that doesn't make me cringe. and best of all, todd tobias has nothing to do with it (except producing bob's vox)

true, but when you put out 10 to 12 records a year under eight different band names, how is a potential new fan going to get his arms around that? GBV was fairly popular for a while there, but bob's decision to break up GBV and take the solo route certainly didn't help. very limited touring since and exteremely uneven records don't help either. plus, standard gargoyle decisions & coast to coast carpet of love were released on the same day and both were pretty bad i would say the only decent tracks on SGD were shadow port & folded claws, which are both great, and the only good tra

that was just an incredible tour ... the universal truths and cycles tour ... they were just explosive, although i did think march wasn't as good a drummer as mccann and mcpherson TONS of fading captain series stuff the set list two nights earlier in kansas city was probably very similar: 1. Lethargy 2. Flat Beauty 3. Edison's Memos 4. Wire Greyhounds 5. Skin Parade 6. Mushroom Art 7. In Stitches 8. Back To The Lake 9. Zap 10. Christian Animation Torch Carriers 11. I Drove a Tank 12. Girl Named Captain 13. Wings of Thorn 14. Game of Pri

speaking of insanely great ... here's the set list from the final show one of the greatest nights of my life Dec. 31, 2004 Over the Neptune/Mesh Gear Fox Watch Me Jumpstart Pimple Zoo Everybody Thinks I’m a Raincloud Fair Touching Things I Will Keep Glow Boy Butlers Lethargy (Jim Pollard joining Bob on vocals) The Best of Jill Hives Red Ink Superman Fourteen Cheerleader Cold Front (with Tobin on vocals & guitar) Girls of Wild Strawbereies Back to the Lake Demons Are Real Do the Earth Tropical Robots Beg for a Wheelbarrow My Kind of Soldier (with Beatle Bob … um … dancing) “Wished I
