Not for me to say whether or not it's genuinely "gret", but: Hop On Pop - "I Do" Yeah. I know. Still...

Nick does a pretty cool little set at this website: http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com Yeah, it was recorded in Daryl Hall's basement. Funtime!

Eno

T'was a long time ago, but when I saw him on the Big Star reunion tour at Metro, it was one of the very best shows that I've ever seen. I guess it's not so much that he's awful, just insanely inconsistent. Mercurial bastard. God love him.

The critics (and hipsters) cream all over themselves over these albums. How are these underrated?

Yeah, but now it's showing "SOLD OUT". Double damn.

And, perhaps the greates, most beautiful love song ever: Nick Cave - "Breathless"

"You're the One For Me" - Jonathan Richman

Swim team in tme mid-80's: a lot of Talking Heads The Vapors Led Zeppelin Meat Puppets (which the coach hated) That's most of what I remember.

John Cale - Vintage Violence Hanson - Middle Of Nowhere Wilco - Being There The Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain yeah, I know. But it's still pretty good. Even better than I remember, actually. I'm not proud.

Plush - Fed

Just got a copy of this from a friend and am giving it a first listen now. Gotta say that this sounds promising. Seems like a FrostingPhil kinda record. Any fans? Impressions?

I forgot about this one: Just a great record. It's overshadowed by Tantilla, but I think that Cakewalk is better. "Never" and "Ants" get me going every time. And "Rocking Chair" is just a perfect little song. RIP Bryan Harvey.

Yeah. I loved that album as a kid. I should pick it back up and give it another listen. Hey.. when your backing band is basically Booker T. & The MGs, it's hard to go wrong. Also, I can't understand why there's so much hatin' on this record: It's a lot better than Bossanova, and hell, just a great record.

I just thought that I'd share this here with y'all as long as I already compiled it. Feel free to post your own, if you feel so compelled. Or to comment on this here list: 1. Beach Boys

Congratulations! My only advice: Be on-time and listen to what the sound man says. Also, don't be afraid to tell him/her if you need something on-stage to make you hear yourself better. Now: go rock the hell out of that town!
