Great album, but Let It Be sounds a like hissy, treble-y poo-poo platter. Some bottom-end... please? That's what I'm waiting to hear re-mastered!

Hanson aren't terrible.

You see, I think that Frogstomp sucks a bag full of goat dicks. But the new one is great. Hey... to each their own.

Despite the fact that the Goos went to crap, that song (and that album) are amazing. I'd love to see what's on the rest of that series! Also digging the Hoodoos, Meat Puppets, Jane's, and Dramarama

The Bobby Fuller Four

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

They became a really GOOD band!!! yeah, I know that they were only 14 or so when they released their first album, but I never would have expected anything like Young Modern Sounds like a lost Supergrass record -- and one of their best, at that. Just... damn. Anyone else showing love for them? Seriously, I was shocked.

I saw them in 1989 -- pre-N.D. Hooked ever since!

I just think of the Uncle Tupelo song. Oh, and I slept through it.

I've seen some great in-stores in my time, too. Neutral Milk Hotel, Richard Thompson, and Cornershop are the first ones that come to mind. It is, indeed, a sad state of affairs.

BORIS THE SPRINKLER!!! I saw those guys open for The Mr. T. Experience around that time. They were nuts! Brought the drummer out, with a leash and chain, clad in nothing but a loincloth and Mexican wrestling mask. Then played a totally manic set. And, I think that Screeching Weasel was on the bill that night, too. Good times.

Died just last year.

Okay... having a second listen now, and... you Nick Lowe fans out there, really MUST have this. Nick was trying his damndest to actually be Jim Ford back in the Brinsley Schwarz days. At least vocally. Combine Parliament with Porter Wagoner, Chuck Berry, The Band and Van Morrison and you're pretty close. "It's where country meets funky." -Jim Ford

Many people have. But personally, I like the song.

Jim Ford - The Sounds of Our Time Tom Z

The British scene, and NME in particular, are notorious for being all about "The Band Of The Moment". Not totally surprising.

Just arrived, and... DAMN! Just wish that it had his version of "Ju Ju Man" on there -- arguably the best rock and roll song, ever.

With all this love, I'll have to go back and listen to Kettle Whistle again. Not expecting much from it, but what the hell?

I know that a lot of you didn't like it, but a lot of you did. So, fair warning that I'll be taking this down in a couple of days. Thanks again for listening, and for your honest feedback.

The last time they raided the vaults, we got: Kettle Whistle Which makes me significantly less excited for this release. Although the reuniting with Eric Avery does make me prick up my ears a bit more.
