"I Want You To Want Me" - Dwight Yoakam works surprisingly well. And just goes to prove that a great song is a great song, no matter what genre you shoehorn it into.

Agreed. On record, but I have seen them live, and their reputation for amazing live shows is NOT just hyperole.

They are all too young to have had their tastes warped by the sewage line. Pure good taste. Nice.

I was listening to John Cale - Paris, 1919 this weekend. And, all weekend after that, both of my kids were walking around singing to themselves: "You're a ghost la la la la..." And were asking me questions about the song. My oldest also informed me: "Dad, I want that song on my iPod." And, it was not an intentional exposure, I was just listening to the album whilst folding laundry, when they heard the song and poked their heads in... the song having piqued their interest.

And King is back. Cool. LINK: http://www.timeout.com/chicago/events/musi...kill-suffrajett Chamber Strings play the very same room the night before Urge. So cool.

I saw a legend that I had no idea was a legend until he started playing: Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham They opened for Nick Lowe about 10 years ago when I saw him at the Park West (Chicago) and, although their names sounded familiar, I had no idea what I was in for. You may know Spooner from Neil Young's Harvest band. But Dan is the songwriter who brought you such classics as "Cry Like a Baby" (The Box Tops), "Cry Like a Man" (The Purify Brothers), "Dark End Of the Street" (Aretha Franklin/The Commitments/Flying Burrito Brothers), "Do Right Woman/Do Right Man" (Aretha Franklin), and too ma

Wish that I had access to YouTube. Damn.

I'm digging that, too! Very nice work. I really enjoy the slide; nice and spacey. And the "25 or 6 to 4" cover is hillarious! Sound like something that I would have done when I was 16, too. (And you and I are the same age, pifin. So, the same timeframe.)

Nice version, Lam. I'm curious as to how many folks are actually listening to these, or is everyone just posting their links and then staying away? Now I gotta go listen to more folks.

This is my solo/acoustic version of Dan Penn's "Dark End Of the Street". Starts a little shakey, but I settled down. And, there was somebody else who covered one of MY songs: "I Do". That was kinda cool. (My original is more along the lines of Everly Bros by way of Nick Lowe.)

Worst. Venue. Ever.

I seen Roger. Also saw Pink Floyd back in 1988 or 89 or whatever it was... sans Roger. Roger solo was better than that faux Floyd. Also saw Stevie Ray Vaughan at Alpine Valley, WI. The night before he died. So, his penultimate performace, not his last. (I love that word: "penultimate"!)

Anything by 999

Yeah, we all have our opinions on Neutral Milk Hote, The Apples In Stereo, and Olivia Tremor Control. What about the other folks from the collective? Right now, I'm listening to Essex Green's excellent album Everything Is Green and am digging it with a BIG shovel. Between this album and The Minders' Hooray For Tuesday, I know there must be some other overlooked stuff with the E6 label on it that I would be wanting to hear. So... let's get into it?

Roy Wood - Boulders Pegboy - Strong Reaction/Three-Chord Monte Supergrass - I Should Coco Television - Marquee Moon Toots & The Maytalls - Funky Kingston/In the Dark

After the last one, I am excited to hear a new one, again. Yay!

Dire Straits - "Romeo & Juliet"

Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island Too Much Joy - Cereal Killers Pugwash - Almanac Dwigt Yoakam - The Very Best Of...

I agree with all of these sentiments. And, I was also afraid that this would happen. Sadly, I am afraid that I was party to the dillution. Sorry.
