Talking to a friend about building me a custom Thinline from Fender parts. Aw, yeah!

I can start a Roy Wood/Move thread, if you like... ;-)

I wouldn't mind seeing The Wonder Stuff. Are they still kicking after their reunion, earlier in the millennium?

Always are a few of us on this board. And, as per Hillman: yeah, he is an outstanding musician. I think that I remember reading that he started as a bluegrass mandolin player, and then picked up the bass in order to join a rock band. And joined The Byrds. But Clark, as songwriters go, is one of the greats that I really don't think gets his due from folks except for the few that are "in the know".

Is that Zed and The Gimp?

Me.

Yeah, I know that he has his fans, but HE is a seriously overlooked figure in rock history. Probably had as much to do with his being lost somewhere between country and rock, genre-wise. And the only figure from the 60's and early 70's that seems to get mentioned from that genre-space is Gram Parsons. I love Gram, but love Gene every bit as much. He wrote The Byrds' "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" (just about as perfect as a song can get), and a bunch more of their earlier stuff, before being forced out of the band and going solo. Here's a typically wonderful Gene song, with incredible guitar f

Going to see Ray Davies on 11/11.

I've seen it spelled with a "Q" too. Yeah, there were a lot of ways.

Their new material is pretty great, actually. As was the Buzzcocks' when they re-formed. So yeah, there are exceptions, and new material seems to help.

I missed the confirmation updates. So, yeah. No "?" needed, I guess.

Here's the leadoff/title track from the record. I like it a lot. Very Big Star.:

Just picked this up with a gift card that I had. About 3 songs in now and the sound of it is the sound that I love to hear from the band. We'll have to see if the songs are as strong as I hope.

I came across this while cruising the AMG site and was wondering if any of y'all were familiar with it. The writeup sounds intriguing as hell, but the samples have me sitting on the fence.

Oh FUCK. It's like the real-life Bullworth. Only not so funny.

I''m now thoroughly into Oliver Twist. Yeah. Digging this one, too. I'll throw Great Expectations into the queue, too. Hell, before the end of it all, I'll be speaking with all sorts of extraneous language which, being that the style of the time and of the particular author to which I have committed for these novels herin discussed, it shall most-likely be taken into my affect; as I am a man of weak will and easily influenced.

This.

Because this really seemed like it needed its own thread. LINK: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/8831066/Stone-Roses-reunion-Its-happening.html
