I'm looking forward to heaing the Robert Plant/Allison Krause record. The samples I've heard have been great.

Is it Grandpa Jones?

no.

Actually, I don't know the game.

I'd give my left nut to be able to write like Jason.

You want to grow up to paint houses like me, a trailer in my yard till you're 23

You want to be old after 42 years, keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears

Well, I used to go out in a Mustang, a 302 Mach One in green.

Me and your Mama made you in the back and I sold it to buy her a ring.

And I learned not to say much of nothing and I figured you already know

but in case you don

Looks like one of the dudes from Rowan and Martin's laugh in. Rowan or Martin. Obviously.

no.

Looks like it's Python-related.

yes. loosely.

LouieB, you are excluded, as I know that you already know.

Anyone else: do you know who is pictured in my avatar? Just curious, as he's one of my faves.

right now:

Dwight Yoakam - The Very Best Of...

Definition:

 

give too low assessment of: to judge the value, degree, or worth of somebody or something to be less than it really is

In context, smartass.

And thank you for what you actually meant.

Yeah, the Led Zep one definitely qualifies, IMO.

They still playing baseball?

Bob Dylan - "New Morning"

 

I've learned never to call anything underrated, but I like this album more than most people seem to. I would put it much higher in my personal ranking of Dylan's best albums than most people do. I love his singing voice on this one. I like the down home feel. I like the simple lyrics. There is nothing I don't like about this album.

When it comes to Dylan, that's how I feel about Nashville Skyline.

Define "Underrated".

Do you mean just "under-heard" or albums you think are great that the critics have panned or that have had more influence than is being recognized?

I mean, the 1970 self-titled debut from Emmitt Rhodes was critically praised, but ain't many folks heard it. But it would certainly qualify under the initial criteria I listed.

Also, how many of you here think of Ike Turner as anything more than a wife-beater? He was one of the original architects of rock n' roll, after all.

And for albums that are unfairly slagged: Led Zeppelin - In Through the Out Door is a great pop record. Period. May not be what most folks wanted to hear from Zep, but had any other band put it out, everyone would be drooling all over it. Great album. Period.

You forgot one source:

Radio. (I listen to a lot of NPR.)

You're...not a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm? I'm confused. That show is perfect.

I know.

I can appreciate it. It's just that jumore like that frustrates me. (Which is, of course, the point. I just don't enjoy it.)

Felt the same about Seinfeld, too.

So... it's been established that I'm a bit of a freak.

Whaddya gonna do?

I have a Gilbert Gottfried live DVD that I'd be interested in trading for that. You might get a better deal elsewhere though...

Sorry.

Not a Gilbert fan, either.

Maybe looking for a CD box set or 2-disc set or something like that, as a fair trade.

Seriously.

Drop me a PM if you want me to send you the 1st season "Curb" on DVD.

It's in great shape. I just don't like it.

Let me know what you have to trade and we'll see if we can set something up.

Kosher?

Mods, it this okay?

Very cool! I've seen Aimee live a few times, would love to see her do one of those Craft shows. Unfortunately this show is on a Tuesday and Chicago is a 7 hour drive for me. Oh well, I'll just have to live with watching the little videos streaming on the Craft site.

Look for me! I'm the short guy with the big scar above his right ear.

I have a sister you can marry for citizenship. No job, I need one myself come new year.

Is bigomy legal up there?

Congratulations! You

Come to Vancouver and we can do this shit up.

It is one place to where I just might like to move.

Can you get me Canadian citizenship?

A job?

I sing, play guitar, and write songs.

Style is all-over-the-map.

Need bassist, drummer, keys, banjo, dobro, pedal steel, theremin, horns, reeds, whatever.

Multi-instrumentalists are preferred.

Not looking to play (many) shows, but I do want to make a record. A very eclectic record. A very weird, very eclectic record.

Mods: If this is the wrong forum for this, please move. I don't want to step on any feet. Thanks.

Happy birthday, young lady!

All I know is my favorite band kinda sorta broke up in 2007, so yeah...bad year for music.

So did mine, but that's neither here nor there. Still some good stuff this year, when I dig.

My band gets a lot of Ben Folds comparisons, but I've only heard him and his band on the radio. But seeing as how I LIKE what I've heard there, I figure I should probably dig a little deeper.

Any fans here? Where would you suggest I start?

Thanks for your input.

Well thank you, Jack.

We get the Ben Folds thing a lot. Funny thing is, I never really listen to him. Must be the piano. I like what I hear I the radio, though so maybe I should pick up something?
