HAHAHAHA. LOL freaking funny. seriously, I pray I never have to hear it.

summerteeth was my first love. then: AM (and later in the story Uncle Tupelo and son volt) and i was not convinced it was the same BAND. but not un like some finewine and many repeated listenings... it just keeps getting better.

wow that would be a sweet sickening thud sound. no more posting after midnight. promise.

optimism brims over in times of change. it makes us stronger and shit. we'll all laugh about this sooner or later. sooner if wilco releases the record and/or announces spring eastcoast dates!!!

sho' nuff!!! well said, amigo.

hang tight, my bro. this too shall pass. Right. Right??

woahhhh. Gratitude time, people. we're all in this bunker together. vibes. prayers. cocktails. repeat.

Billy zoom: sweet D Boon: immaculate Pete buck: consumate cool or the road tested j mascis lest we forget the immortal Frank Zappa.... and of course i'd be remiss not to mention the sonic soulful jerry... these days I'm loving Malkmus angularity. absolutely Uncle Neil/ Nels/ Doug Martsch/ Verlaine/ sweet lou reed, too, when he wants to. full disclosure: based on sound/ live experience moreso than visual vibe....

YES, 2008 was an incredibly prolific period for relevant, excellent, creative, and fantastic music. Agreed. Artiists too many to mention have been covered on this very site (we could always make 'em up- forward regression, what economy?, Big SillyStupid, DownlukSoseriouss, boy) Thanks, for without your contributions and handiwork, i may have never discovered such artists. STILL: its kinda hard to keep up. our homeland in ruin: agreed/ aggregious/ and okawright. and thats when artists rise to the occasion. thats one theory. or i'm gettin old but its a helluva lot easier to pres

i left my heart.....

Maybe it's me Maybe its the cold Maybe it gets dark way too early Maybe it's cause i'm un (under) employed? Maybeitsme mayBeItsMe May Bee MAYBEEE someone Knows what I'm talkin about

After much thought and consideration: drrrrummmmm rollllllll pleasssssssssssssssssssssssseeee: john coltrane

missed hershey last year due to OCMD vacation w/ kids. hopeful for this year (and Philly, too!!)

Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us This pier lights our carnival life forever Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever Oh me and Sandy girl Now now now now now baby Yeah promise Sandy girl Shala la la la baby

Just pulled out Songs for Drella by Lou Reed and John cale, after remembering I hadn't heard it for awhile. It was like putting on your winter hat after a brilliant summer and a fall that took its time.

One that comes immediately to mind for me is "Anxious Mo Fo" from Double Nickels on the Dime

thanks for the info/orrection and apologies to all for my sloppiness. damn, i was even sober....

if thats the domo airigato (sic) mr roboto song. If so, I change my answer also that hey rickey song by toni something. and if shitty covers count, i nominate that bananarama disaster "cruel summer"

wow... "We Built This City" by j starship comes to mind... and what about that ridiculous kid rock ripoff/song on the radio this summer? billy squier's "the stroke"???? The Locomotion???

re-ac-tor "got mashed potatoes ain't got no t-bone" I remember buying that record as a follow up to Decade, which I bought when I was 14. Thank God I didn't judge Neil on that 10981 record alone.... FYI PSU/ USC Rose Bowl just used "Rockin in the Free World" as a commercial outro while I was typing this post!!

oops- forgot roky erickson and the 13th floor elevators stephen kellogg and the sixers

geez, I guess I'll say it: Heaven 17 Sham69, also.

kindasorta know what you're saying about new material. on the other hand, last night was the first show for my 14 year old son ( he missed wilmington- was in california) so i was hoping for the setlist they delivered. my son really really dug the show. l ike most first timers he was not expecting the ferocious power the band seems able to display at will. recordings do not do justice great energy and band interaction wonderful acoustics kind (if not a bit mellow) crowd funfunfun

Lots available at the Baltimore CraigsList- Also: get to show early- should have no trouble getting tix at face value. Also- small venue- really no bad seats in the house. Good luck!!!
