HIJACK!!!!

Are either of you musicians?

Do you have a thought on the topic?

(This is not just me looking to talk about me. I do want a discussion about the topic at-hand.)

So... do ya?

(And don't change that comment into a shift to talk about The Move or ELO!)

Go nuts.

Yeh, I know.

And now...

 

AW yeah.

We heard "Concrete Jungle" on the radio a couple of months ago, and my kids (8 and 6) were in the backseat... ROCKING!!!

Singing along:

"In the concrete jungle.... In the concrete jungle!!!

"Dad, do you have this CD? You need to get it!"

My kids rock.

Hey!!

 

 

 

The new version? Are the extras worth the price?

And to respond to this:

If you have The Wilderness Years, no.

If you don't HELL YES!!!

"I Will Always Love You" -- the (original) Dolly Parton version

"Oooh Baby Baby" by Smokey Robionson & The Miracles

Motown in the 60's is good for about 90% of mine.

There are too many, but I will pick a few:

"Without You" sung by Harry Nillsson

"Isn't She Lovely?" by Stevie Wonder (yeah, I know it's about a baby, but it's still a love song)

"My Girl" by The Temptations

and, of course:

"H-A-T-R-E-D" by Tonio K.

which is a twisted kind of love song in it's own right.

Martin Newell - A Summer Tamarind

Various Artists - A Matter Of Degrees (original motion picture soundtrack)

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything

Blue Ruin - Flame

Built To Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love

Maybe some recording, but mostly paying bills.

They started as a band @ Tufts University in Medford, MA.

Are they Nashville-based now or is it just Pisapia?

I'm drawing a blank on bands from Nashville besides local bands that didn't really go anywhere.

How about:

Guster

Or, if you have yet to hear

Joe Pisapia (who is also a part-time member of Guster)

you really need to get on the ball!

Illinois (yeah, I know):

Wilco

Naked Raygun

M.O.T.O.

Cheap Trick

The Flavor Channel

Shrimp Boat

The Sea and Cake

Uncle Tupelo

Son Volt

Andrew Bird

Happy Ashtray

Big Black

Poster Children

Chuck Berry

And, of course I'll think of more soon...

There are no guilty pleasures.

Only guilty people.

Ry Cooder - Into the Purple Valley (and assorted bonus tracks)

Sloan - One Chord To Another

New York Dolls - New York Dolls

Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me

Otis Redding - The Very Best Of...

I didn't know there was even a debate.

i always thought it was a G7, played as a barre chord at the 3rd fret

Someone at another board posted this as the "correct" chord (barred across the 3rd fret):

To me, though it is too resonant to be any sort of a barre chord. Barre chords just don't ring out like that, 12-string or not.

Great song my friend. Great voice. Does your band do any touring? Maybe your band and mine could do some gig swapping sometime.

Thanks, Lam.

My band is, since August or so, just me and my guitar. And I do not do any touring, since I am a daddy and family guy. But, if I do get a gig sometime around here (where they actually let me suggest another band for the bill) I will let you know and try to get you on there. That would be fun.

Nice song Todd. Agree with the Lou Reed comment, I hear some Farrarness too.

I was thinking about this today and, I wrote it as a Johnny Cash thing.

But I can really hear Dwight Yoakam or Steve Earle singing this. It's too bad that they are two of the very best songwriters, themselves and have no need for this.

Sorry for the bump, I was seriously just thinking about this and wanted to respond.
