And it looks like Luke Haines has a new one, too. Very excited to hear it!

So far it's been a pretty good year. • Shugo Tokumaru - In Focus? • Foxygen - We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace& Love • Tom Zé - Tropicalia Lixo Logico • Bombino - Nomad • My Bloody Valentine - MBV • Wire - Change Becomes Us • Cleaners From Venus - The Late District • Daft Punk - Random Access Memories etc. good year.

Okay, so I just found out that the guy who played pedal steel on the last HoP album (and who mastered it, too) is also the pedal steel player on the new Son Volt record. Not sure if he's officially in the band or not, but... damn! I'm smiling. Of course, I had him first.

I think this was a real ad, back in the day. Amazing.

So, so very sorry. Love and strength to your entire family.

Very cool. Those old acoustic archtops have such a unique sound. Not great for everything, but when it's right, it's dead-on. Love it.

Guess I was looking for Thinking of Empire, in particular. Seems to be the classic. But yeah, I do see copies of a couple other ones.
-
And I am not buying one until the kids are out of the house. I would love to, but I ain't. If you happen across a CD copy online somewhere or even a DL, let me know. (I've looked for both, but just over the last day or so.)

On CD? My turntable went ka-PLOOIE!

Oh yeah, Ficca is amazing. I saw them on that 92 tour, as well and was duly impressed. I also agree that he would be hard to replace. Maybe it's because I'm a guitar player and you're a drummer that we are not agreeing on this point. And, for the record: I think that Verlaine's sublime guitar solo on "Marquee Moon" belongs every bit as much to Ficca as it does to Verlaine. When you really listen to it, you can hear Verlaine being egged on by the rest of the band, and the drums in particular.
-
Normally neither can I. But for me, and many others I think, what made Television Television was the interplay and chemistry between Lloyd and Verlaine. I mean, as incredible as Ficca and Smith are, I do think that they can be replaced and you will still have Television. But not Lloyd. Not being a purist snob, here. Just calling it as I see it.
-
You ever seen them live with Lloyd? Trust me on this one.
-
Sorry, then this is not Television.

Yeah, I know that I might be sniffing my own farts again, but a friend just dropped their name, raving about them. I investigated over at AllMusic and THEY dropped comparisons to Television/Wire/Minutemen/Black Flag. I think I need this but it is totally out of print and unavailable through traditional outlets that I have found. Anyone help a brother out? ALLMUSIC REVIEW Sounds like the 80's underground. I dig it.

All I have is a TurboRAT. And I love it. Glad to see you incorporate one into your board. So nasty. (Even though I know yours isn't the Turbo, still...)

I know it's cheezy, but I always liked this song. EDIT: It's even cheezier than I remember!

Do musicians' appearances matter more than their sound?

Just like Slint were.
