  1. It's solo/acoustic, warts-and-all. Just wanted to get some more songs out there while I had the bug up my butt and a little bit of time. So, I hope that you all check it out. This one is all me. If you listen, I hope that you let me know what you think. Thanks!
  2. This dude better be re-elected.
  3. So, I've been digging this band (what I've heard of them) since they made an appearance on the Repo Man soundtrack. I've also heard a couple other songs, here and there that have further kicked my ass. So, I went online to look for their albums and I find this one, their classic: for $200 USED!!! Out of print and all that. Does anyone have a copy of this album that they would be willing to point me to? Or, better yet, send me a burn of? The mofo is out of print so, in this case, I don't really have any qualms about taking a burn from someone. All I want is the music. I'm not a collector wil
  4. 3 underrated/underappreciated BritPop bands: • The Wonder Stuff • Boo Radleys • James
  5. Just heard a tune from this one yesterday: Sounded like the first one, which I really liked a lot. So, this is now highly anticipated!
  6. brisket at my mom's house!
  7. Here's another new one, and the last one that I'm going to post before the EP's release next week: "Past Tense" Kinda jazz, kinda not. Sung/spoken vocals along the lines of Leonard Cohen or Lou Reed. And clawhammer-style snap-and pop-guitar that I had to make swing. I hope that you check it out and that you like it.
  8. Just picked up the new Dr. John (produced by Dan Auerbach). Looking forward to putting it on.
  9. High on my list of movies to see, when I have the chance.
  10. Apparently, this one went to 88. Still, divisible by 11. Rest in peace, Jim. Thanks for The Sound.
  11. Produced by Dan Auerbach, right? How is this? I've been curious.
  12. Used to have this old thing: I got it for free from a friend and wound up trading it away for a crappy 1980's Peavey twin because I just couldn't get it to work. Turned out to be a $35 repair job (according to the guy that I traded it to) and it was the best-sounding amp" he ever heard. Damnit. One of those things that just got away. It must've weighed about 100 lbs, though. Thing was damn heavy.
  13. Don't know if this guy is underrated so much as unknown, but: Duane Aslaksen was Roky Erickson's lead guitar player in the early 80's. He came up with some pretty great leads that should be more-widely appreciated. For instance, his leads absolutely bring this song to a whole new level.
  14. Underappreciated and underheard, for sure. But never underrated by anybody who's heard him play. Still a great one to give props to.
  15. You should have responded, "¡No mames, wey!"
  16. 1. Grant Hart 2. Colin Moulding 3. the power of great arrangements
  17. Wasn't sure is India was east enough to be considered a part of Southeast Asia or not. But, according to a few maps that I've looked at, it appears to be. That said, India holds an embarrassment of riches: • The films of Satyajit Ray, for highbrow cinema: Pather Panchali, Aparajito, and The World of Apu. • Bollywood films, for populist cinema • The books of Salman Rushdie: The Satanic Verses or East/West for the adults; Haroun and the Sea of Stories for the little ones. • The music of Ravi Shankar. Lots more that I cannot think of off the top of my head.
