Bobbobobobobobob... Looks like you hit a twofer! You are correct.

"Then the Cadillac, it puttered back into the graveyard..."

...but I'd rather be famous, thank righteous or holy, any day, any day any day... That's "Frankly Mr. Shankly" by The Smiths.

And, some nice unsolicited comments here.

The Kinks - BBC Sessions 1964 - 1977 The Magnetic Fields - Realism Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

I usually respond with a very flat, very deadpan, "swell... great... never been better." Most common response to that is, "Okay then."

I knew there was more than one reason that I was a Fender guy.

I loved The Killing, so I am really looking forward to this.

Deee-Lite - World Clique Brian Eno - Before and After Science Willie Nelson - To Lefty, From Willie Harry Nilsson - A Little Touch of Schmilsson In the Night The Sonics - BOOM!

If you can make it out, I'm going on first (1:00). At the Abbey Pub, this coming Sunday 4/25. Come on out and have a beer with me. Say hey and... have lunch or brunch or whatever. Hop On Pop at the IPO Sunday 4/25 1:00 p.m. Abbey Pub 3420 W. Grace, Chicago (It's a solo/acoustic performance, actually.) Hope to meet some of you. That is all.

sorry

Saw them at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO back around 1990 or so. So fucking good... and TIGHT!

I've been a member for a few years now. I love it, too. I have it on every morning and afternoon, during my commute. And, my 10-year-old son is a big Garrison Keillor fan; just thinks that he's funny. (He is.) A few months back, just before he died, they ran a wonderful interview with Jim Dickinson on Weekend Edition. I'll have to dig that up and post it here (if I didn't already... I may have.)

I think that it may be their best album yet. It's definitely one of their best. It's more straight-ahead rock than any of their other albums... the least amount of odd East Indian goings-on; the sitars and whatnot are more for decoration and less the focus of the songs. But the songs themselves are some of the strongest, hookiest that the band has ever recorded.

The one that I wrote that review for contains the ORIGINAL Funky Kingston and In the Dark albums (original Jamacian tracks and running order, per the liner notes). So, yeah, it has all the tracks like you mentioned. So damn good.

Just acquired and np (in honor of 4/20): Roky Erickson - True Love Cast Out All Evil This is so much better than I anticipated.

Of course, GtrPlyr nails it. All that! He mentioned Toots & The Maytals, and for me, this album was a complete revelation: My Amazon review of this record:

Meat Puppets - Too High To Die Sybris - Into the Trees Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose The Cars - Candy-O Wilco - Being There

I need to hear this one.

Nice performance, Ghost. Happy to hear that you are the electric guitar player because, for me, that was the best part of the song. You are an excellent, intuitive player. I really like your style. (And the guitar, itself, is beautiful, too!)
