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.

Just last week, i bashed my guitar and... HOLY CRAP! THAT'S IT!!!

It's a simple one, so...

all open strings (from A to E) with 2nd fret held down on both B and E strings (making a D and G, respectively. So... A,D,G,D,G, low to high).

Best chord ever.

M.O.T.O. - Single File

The Brotherhood of Lizards - Lizardland

Cleaners From Venus - Back From the Cleaners

Magnetic Fields - Get Lost

13th Floor Elevators - The Psychadelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators

Oh crap!

That picture totally brought me back to Columbia! I haven't been there since 1991.

Thanks for the nostalgia pangs, poppy.

Just arrived and now playing:

Shrimp Boat - Some Biscuit + Daylight Savings

Anyone remember the Walnut Bowl Store?

Is it still there on I-70?

Beach Boys - Smile (yes, the Beach Boys' version, or one of the many bootleg versions out there)

John Cale - The Island Years

Falstaff - Falstaff (for which there is no image on the net. yet.)

Well, Poppy, you got me craving some Shakespeare's now!

I was at Mizzou in the late 80's -- through 1991 and, as I believe I stated here before, saw UT on Halloween, 1989 -- pre-No Depression.

I miss Columbia.

I forgot.

I met srm, but that was a long time ago, when I played at the Lounge Ax a couple of times.

And then, the clip didn't air on TV!!!

Although I did find it online.

Go here:

www.checkplease.tv

and look for Uncle Bub's. That's me.

I've met:

LouieB

Wendy

Derek Phillips

and probably a few others that I didn't know were VCers when we met.

We had a giant, I'll be the midget:

That's me with my friend Dave, who plays (palyed?) drums in my band.

I am the opposite of foxy.

And did I mention that you'll be able to see me on TV in Chicago tonight?

What was the audition process like for Check Please? If accepted on the show do they give you any money for the meal or is the whole thing done on your dime?

The audition process started on the phone.

Then, they had a big group of us over to Adobo Grill in Ukranian Villiage (in their party room) for a cocktail party, where we mingled. They brought us in one-by-one to have an on-camera interview with the producer of the show, where we talked about our restaurant. As to whether or not they pick up the tab, I do not know. I assume that they do, but seeing as how I did not make the cut, I may never know.

At any rate, even the audition was fun.

But I'm bummed that I didn't make the show.

PT -

 

what year is that strat?

It's "Susan", my 1988 Squire Strat.

Back when the Squires were made in Japan and still a quality instrument.

Of course, it's hot-rodded out the wazoo:

Attention whore.

Oh, God yes.
