Listening now and I am enjoying the hell out of this. Yeah, the guy has a very serious Dylan fixation, but he does it very well. And, a great song is still a great song. This has a few great songs on there. Recommended for download. And "Speak Plainly, Diana" kicks my ass every damn time. My god, how I love that song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwudUbNdCR0 RIYL: the acoustic sides of... Bob Dylan, Neil Young, John Prine

From Chicago station WXRT: http://wxrt.radio.com/2010/12/21/free-download-joe-pug-“nation-of-heat”-ep/ I'm DLing now. Looking forward to it. I like Joe.

I have not seen any mention of this album anywhere on the board. Or, at least nothing comes up in a board search: I know there are a few Jeb Loy Nichols fans on the board here, too. So, has anyone here heard this? Own it? The review makes it sound like a pretty good record, groundbreaking or not. Is this one news to y'all? Seems like the type of thing that might make at least consideration for some of your year-end lists.

Agreed. But I don't think that it's the signature that bumps it up, I think that it's the short run and the weak dollar combination.

Here's the dirt on all three albums, directly from Ian Gomm (in an email to me).

Each of the 3 CDs are 12.50 English, Sterling (about $20 US). I just got an email back directly from Ian (it appears), and he said that he is going to let me know how much it would be for all 3 in a package deal. All are digitally remastered from the original master tapes and will come autographed by Ian. Waiting for Ian's reply to me. I mean, being the big Brinsleys geek that I am, there is no way that I am going to let this go. EDIT: So, no break for all 3. It came to a total of $70 US, for them all. Maybe saved on the shipping cost of one of the discs. Still, I am stoked to hear all this

I think that I just cummed a little.

From the Brinsley Schwarz Facebook page (and Ian Gomm's official site): I sent off an email to find out more about these bad boys. Any of y'all heard/own any of them?

Oh yeah, The Kinks... pretty much all the time.

yes.

You gonna make me pull out the big guns? The first song EVER played on BBC Radio 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6o5F0s2SjQ

Okay, so give me shit. But, listen to this song and try not to enjoy it. Too much fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmG0DqhfDbY And, a nice little Blues Bros. tribute, too. I think that's actually Steve Cropper making an appearance in there!

All Roy ALL THE TIME!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b42ck7iaLb4&feature=related

The fucking MOVE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iirNwgdZbjM I love those guys so much. But I loved them a bit more before Jeff Lynne joined their ranks. All Roy. All the time.

I think there may be one song on his second album that I kinda liked... it was a Sly & The Family Stone ripoff (as opposed to his usual Hendrix ripoff) that was pretty good. But, that's waaaayyyyy below the Mendoza line.

Just because I like the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4NYZ18aY8E

Fucking Lenny Fucking Kravitz. Has all the tools to be so great. And yet, he manages to suck so hard every damn time out. My God does he suck!

When on my honeymoon, I stayed about a block from the Italian Parliament building. I love that city and I can picture exactly where these riots are taking place. It makes me incredibly sad.

The Moyles For those of you not in the know, a Moyle is a Jewish rabbi that is specially trained to perform ritual circumcisions.

So, this is not the version that I have become used to. I have only heard the radio version before now, which I think does a little bit better job with surprising you with the tag and all that. But I love those spots, and this will do for now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9DwA_VZDno

Patti Smith. The first line from the first song on her first album hit me like a fucking suckerpunch. And then, there was nothing for me after that.

Oh yeah, I forgot one: The Move every damn time.
