He's a great guitar player, to be sure. But the thin tone, combined with all those pick squeals in every other measure got real tiring.

Don't know that one. Describe?

I knew that I liked you.

You know, for The Greatest Rock Movie of All Time, it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. Don't get me wrong, I liked it. It was good. But not the life-changing experience that I had hoped for. Maybe nothing could live up to that kind of hype. Still... Neil fucking Diamond?!?!?! And also, is there a reason that Robbie Robertson had to be in every damn shot? I know that he and Scorsese were buddies and all, but he coulda been a bit more judicious. I wanted to see a lot more Levon. And a lot more Garth -- who looked to be the most amusing guy in the film outside of Ronnie Hawkins.

Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted: Luxe & Reduxe Ike Turner - I Like Ike: The Very Best Of Ike Turner C

The worst? Counting Crows - "Rain King" I am... The Rain King Yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Ugh. It's the moment that single-handedly turned me off to anything else they produced since then.

Belle & Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane/Dog On Wheels/3... 6... 9 Seconds Of Light Terence Trent D'Arby - Introducing the Hardline... Paul Weller - Wild Wood Jeff Buckley - Grace

Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding ain't too shabby either.

Jason Isbell - "Dress Blues"

WOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Also, Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets) did a great scream on their cover of "Good Golly miss molly". And, did anyone yet mention Trent Reznor ?

The end of this song? I actually have to second the Bob Mould and Kurt Cobain nods. It hurts to listen. But in a good way.

The new album is an all-acoustic return to her Appilacian/country roots. And the concert was just her, her husband, and her dad. Kasey herself was charming as hell! She talked as much as she sang, but that was just fine. It made for a very intimate setting where I, as an audience member, felt like I was sitting with her in her living room, hanging out with the family. A really fun night.

Glad that all went well, AWATT. My surgery story: I had brain surgery a couple of years ago. Coming out of the surgery, all drugged up, head in a plaster bandage, my first groggy words to the nurses were: "Do I look sexy for my wife?" They laughed.

No interest, eh? Lots of polyrhythms. It's fun...

Leo Lago - "Anunzi

Never heard it all the way through. But I feel pretty safe in saying:

And a ton of songs for The Temptations Source Great songwriter. Great producer. Bummer.

Chamber Strings - Month Of Sundays

I think that I should add here that Oak Park is a pretty nifty little place just west of the city. It was home to both Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemmingway, and there are plenty of things in that little town that should keep you busy for the day... Unity Temple (where I am now a member), Frank Lloyd Wright home & studio, and a couple of Papa's haunts. Also, the downtown area there has several good little restaurants. Okay. Thanks.

Oh yeah... Magnetic Fields

So... going tonight. And she is touring with her husband, Shane Nicholson. Honestly, the two of them singing together sound quite a bit like Gram and Emmylou; really great harmonies. And the new songs sound really good. I am definitely looking forward to this.
