Tim Buckley - Goodbye and Hello

John Cale - Vintage Violence

Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline

I have taken down the song, as all the feedback is causing me to re-think the arrangement and, frankly, I've been happy with it up to now.

The rest of the album, as you know, is going to be completely different, so I don't want to give any of y'all the wrong impression. And, as stated -- more importantly -- I wanna keep my songs sounding the way that I had envisioned them, without second-guessing myself.

I know that it looks like I'm taking my ball and going home, but really... I comprimised too much on the first record for people actually IN the band and I don't want to head down that road again, due to comments from folks who AREN'T in the band.

I think that, in excitement and in my haste to share my new creation, I didn't think that through.

It's not that I can't take critique, I just think that it's the wrong time for it right now, and I want to stay excited about the project while it's still fresh.

Thanks again for the comments. I do appreciate them all and look forward to more, when I release the entire record next year.

Woah. Those sandwiches sound great.

They are freaking amazing. Yes.

Although do NOT try to tackle a king-sized sandwich all by yourself. You will be sorry.

And they have great french fries there, too.

I can give you LOTS of great cheap eats places to go, as can all of us Chicago folk. We all have our favorites:

Cafe Colao (Humbolt Park)

Iraz

The Jim Carroll Band

and iTunes

Sorry Gogo... I know that I account for at least two of those infractions.

 

As far as sending them early, I figured it would be ok as they could just be ignored. Thanks for letting our voice be heard regardless of our ability to follow instructions.

I'm bad at following instructions.

And yeah, that's my email address that I'm pretty sure that you're referring to.

Sorry.

I am absolutely floored that you are the first to present a list. And a rough draft at that.

I'm getting a lot better at hearing sarcasm over the internet these days.

"You're Breaking My Heart" - Harry Nilsson

You're breaking my heart

You're tearing it apart

So fuck you

This post will be my work-in-progress page.

I will mail off the final list, as instructed, when I am done.

Sounds good.

My list is always so liquid. I mean, the top 5 contains pretty much the same albums, but the order shifts from day-to-day. And then, after 5, it's a crapshoot.

"better, best guitarist"

 

 

True dat. And I know better.

Hell, good better best ANYTHING that can't be quantified, for that matter.

"I Hear You Knockin'"

Looks like a Luna kind of day!

who is this clarence white fellow? in a band? a solo act? a douchebag?

Played a lot of lead guitar with The Byrds on Sweetheart of the Rodeo and after... in the "country" phase. He also played with them on Younger Than Yesterday (listen to the lead guitar on "Time Between" - that's him, too).

Here's his AllMusic entry:

Oh yeah, also co-inventor of the Parsons-White String Bender. (You guitarists know what I'm talking about.)

and also their "Brown Reason to Live..." but I didn't want to post that cover art because it has weenises on it.

HA!

That's the word that my 6- and 8-year-olds use to refer to their own parts.

I don't think any of us here have the authority to change the list.

Well aware.

Just being emphatic for my man Clarence. This is a thread where we use said list as impetus to start mentioning our own favorites, is it not? And, Clarence White was a better guitarist than ANY of the previously mentioned folks.

Luna - Penthouse

Sly & The Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On

King Khan & The Shrines - What Is!?

Dogbowl - Flan

Clarence FREAKING White!!!

damnit.

I wish I liked Rush more than I do, because they all seem like such damn cool guys.

This here is just more proof.

Clarence White!
