Saw Josh the other night, D. And I'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff!

An overshadowed, underrated record.

In threads this long and apparently self-explanitory (note that I said apparently), I don't even bother reading the first post. Yup. Totally fell for it.

Yep. Saw that once I went to the ACL site.

Okay, I'll take the bait: Summerteeth Being There Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Sky Blue Sky AM A Ghost Is Born That said, none are bad, and I enjoy each in their own way.

Good thing there's this video over at the ACL site: http://tinyurl.com/3xhx87 Hare's the complete setlist:

I tuned in in the middle of "Two-Headed Dog". So what'd I miss, about the first 10-15 minutes?

Yeah, I had no idea that he was gonna be on. And not only that, but he had Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) sitting in on guitar! It wasn't on either of the Chicago PBS stations, but if you are in the Chicago area and were lucky enough to get the Gary, IN PBS station (like me), then you got to see this pretty excellent show. The set (of what I saw) was very heavy on songs from The Evil One (which I love) and other tunes that he did with The Aliens. Also, I did not hear a single Elevators song. Roky sounded good, but his voice has obviously lost a little of that unearthly howl that he used to have

Johnny Cash - At Folsom Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Yo La Tengo - Electr-O-Pura and a Portland-themed mix that I got a few years back.

Keep going north, into Skokie. Hit up: Pita Inn on Dempster. Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about!

And, I am the happier for that.

Ironically, "Without You" is actually a Badfinger song.

Strictly boxing? With all the rules thereof? Ali. But a street fight.. Lee for sure.

The most badass beekeeper of all time. Sounds like an amazing all-around human being, as well. RIP, Sir Ed.

I live in the Chicago area, but given ehough notice I can probably schedule something up your way. Wish that I could offer an exchange, but I'm playing solo/acoustic these days and really not gigging much. Still, if you like what you hear from me...? www.myspace.com/hoponpopmusic PS - I like the tunes!

Bobby Fuller, anyone? All of you know his one big hit ("I Fought the Law" -- the original version), but I have a "Best Of" and it's all pretty wonderful and in that same vein.

"Gotta Get Up" Does it or does it not sound like Spoon? I say: does. Absolutely.

Eels - Electro-Shock Blues Gang Of Four - Entertainment House Of Freaks - Cakewalk Shrimp Boat - Duende James - Laid

Everyone is going to vote in their own best interests (or one would hope that they would). If that were, in fact, the case, then the result would be a choice that would serve the interests of the greater good. Unfortunately, there are too many people out there who have been fooled into voting for candidates that actually serve against what it is that their constituants need. We all can be (and have been) swayed by the cult of personality, which is why it's so difficult to choose the candidate that would be best for (IMO) the country.

NP: Robert Plant & Allison Krauss - Raising Sand

Wow. I'm surprised that I have about 70% of that. That is an amazing collection, though. I wanna have the rest!
