We were both in attendance and front-and-center at the Steve Earle show, of which there are pix here:

Looks like Thursday y'all will get to hear it, too.

But yeah, that could very well be my hand or Louie's or Wendy's.

We have a bookshelf at work where you can just leave a book you're done with, or pick one up if you like.

I just picked this up:

Anyone read it? Good?

It's the book-on-tape, actually, so hopefully there's a bit of Ronettes on there, too.

I'm guessing their server is getting hammered right now. I've been waiting about 10 minutes for my DL email.

Just arrived some 10+ minutes after initial request.

i dl'd the mp3 & it took maybe 5 minutes? i doubt it was that long honestly.

No. I mean for the link to arrive in my email.

NIN - The Slip

 

just started but i'm liking it so far

How long did it take for your download to arrive?

I'm still waiting on mine, some 5 minutes in. Normal?

If something is out-of-print or not commercially available, and I have a friend who is willing to upload it for me, I have no problem downloading it. It's not hurting the artist, and I'm sure as hell not going to pay $100+ for something that I may or may not like. And, if I do like it in the end... I'm STILL not going to pay $100+ for it.

But if it's a "leak"... I'll wait until the album comes out, when I can hear samples at a listening station or online before I make up my mind about whether or not to buy it.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abbatoir Blues/Lyre Of Orpheus

The Wolfgang Press - Queer

U2 - Achtung Baby

I saw Tom Ze the one and only time that he played in Chicago -- att The Vic.

It may have been the very best show that I've ever seen.

He only brought one guy with him from Brazil, and the rest of his backing band was basically Tortise. Dude was all over the stage -- and he was 65 years old at the time.

For the encore he brought out a 15-ft. industrial saw and a piece of sheet metal, donned a welding mask, and began sawing away in a rhythmic fashion. Then, John MacIntyre joineed in on the drums, and the rest of the band followed suit in (what appeared to be) an improvisational composition. Absoloutely amazing, fun, and indescribable.

Last 10 on iTunes Shuffle:

Cheap Trick - High Roller

Yo La Tengo - The Room Got Heavy

Sloan - Right Or Wrong

Happy Ashtray - Do I Have To Travel Far?

Naked Raygun - Free Nation

Gilberto Gil - Coragem pra Suportar

Blue Ruin - The Cure

The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun

Brinsley Schwarz - Love Song

The Arcade Fire - Black Mirror

I can't say that I'm an expert, but I am a pretty big fan of a couple of Tropicalia artists.

And, while I know that Caetano Veloso is the big stud of the movement, I have to admit my bias toward Tom Z

As always with these things, I forgot some of my true favorites for a long time:

Augusta, Angelica e Consolacao - Tom Z

Somebody sticky this thread, please.

Affordable prescription drugs.

"It Don't Come Easy" is the best song by a solo Beatle.

"Photograph" is the best song by a former Beatle.

Track #3 has a noticable Hop on Pop influence, which is pretty something.

Yeah, we're big in Japan and the Netherlands.

bump

Or, rather, I'd prefer not to start a new thread.

But, yeah, I guess.

You play?

You're in Chicagoland; want to play with me on something?

Got another date set with the same guy.

I'm rerecording this song:

http://iacmusic.com/songs.aspx?SongID=50303

It's pretty simple (VERY simple), but the new recording is gonna sound a lot different, and yet very-much the same.

Should be fun. I'm actually having the Hop On Pop drummer play on this -- both drums and keys.

LOL

 

 

Dude...it's 7:45 in the morning. Most of the board isn't even up yet.

True.

But I posted it yesterday and...

Um...

I'm sorry.

Samson & Delilah - Rev. Gary Davis

So... nobody checking this out?

Bummer.

It's just a great tune that I want to share.
