Not sure how the band's choice of political candidate made the music sound different to you then it did to me. What difference should it make to anyone when musicians take causes like this? If you like Obama, it was great. If you don't like him, just go for the music. A win-win, yes?

Not sure why they would be considered a "joke" to the general populace. Weren't they one of the biggest acts around way back when? Anyway, that's why I posted this; I was worried no one would hear them based on the horror that was Zeitgeist....

You are spot on with this. What made the Pumpkins so great was their balence of soft vs quiet. Zeitgeist sounded like Billy trying too hard to get all the Lincoln Park or My Chemical Romance fans to realize where those guys learned their tricks from in the first place. This EP almost redeems that for me....

I have the songs streaming on my blog if you haven't. I REALLY like these 4 tunes. It sounds like fresh air compared to the crap on that last CD. I'm loving the mostly acoustic sound from Billy and I hope they keep that up in the future.

3 pages and no mentions of the ultimate breakup masterpiece, The Cure-"Disintegration" Also: Led Zep-Tangerine Moody Blues-almost all of their stuff The Church-Under the Milky Way Jackson Browne's "Hold On Hold Out" album Bob Mould-Workbook

I think there was some falling out between them when they did "The Dead" thing at Alpine. "Dick Clark Presents The Dead" is how Hornsby saw it if I remember right...

Didn't Page remaster all the Zeppelin discs a long time ago? I thought they were all remastered. I'm not going to have to buy those AGAIN am i?

Well, if I voted based on the candidates taste in musical friends, Obama wins hands down. First Wilco, now Weir, Lesh, and Hart! Nice.

I hope they are better than the Dylan remasters. I think those are mixed WAY too loud and sound far too "bright" to my ears.

Forgive my ignorance, but are they still big enough to sell out these places even with the support?

I officially fixed this so the auto starts are gone. Thanks everyone for their input and keep coming back. http://harmonizewithsongs.blogspot.com/

Thank you and sorry for that. What browser do you use? Did the songs actually play or just load? Either way, I may stop embedding the clips and just post links to the files...

I don't know is this is "proper" or not so just ignore if you wish but... I made a blog site and since I like this place so much, I wanted to get some input from you guys on what you think. I'm hoping it will be a place for folks to find out about new releases, underated bands, great songs, movies, or just about anything I dig that I think others will too. Thanks guys. http://harmonizewithsongs.blogspot.com/

Charles Andrew Dirksen did those crazy reviews. I got so many tapes from that dude. Oh....the days.

See, that story makes me dig them a bit more. How could you possibly have a problem with that as a music fan? I remember seeing that SNL performance. The "Mr. Jones" was rote and lame but that version of Round Here I still remember to this day.... In fact, I actually saw them play with Cracker on the August tour and they didn't even play "Mr. Jones". I couldn't believe it and we all commented on how cool that was even if it pissed of 99% of the people there.

If they guy really wants to stay sober, I doubt Phish will ever get back together. Weren't drugs in the scene the main reason for the split?

I can understand the obsession with Joni. What I can't understand is how shitty their cover is. Isn't Michelle Freaking Branch on it?

See, I think I must have a problem. There are just certain bands/singers that after like 2 minutes, I just sort of zone out on the whole package. The Shins, My Morning Jacket, Radiohead, and this Bon Iver fella come to mind.

Yup, that sucks too. I love Astral Weeks as much as the next guy, but Duritz takes it WAY too far!

I don't mind the Counting Crows, but just don't ever go see them live. They may have the most annoying fan base on the planet. Think 22 year old drunk girls on their cell phones the entire show.....

Am I the only one that can barely make out a word this guys sings? I mean, it makes it kind of tough to listen to sensitive acoustic ballads when I can't understand the words. I do love the overall feel of the disc; I just wish I knew what he was singing about. It also kind of makes me want to go throw on some Iron and Wine....

This is about the most dickish thing I've read on this board yet....

Wow. Different strokes I guess. I may too big of a fanboy to be objective through. I actually liked "Modulate".

I have to disagree about the production. I don't hear any vocal issues at all. There is not a lyric I can't understand on this disc. In fact, I think it may be Mould's strongest disc vocally at least. He's playing the tiny Shank Hall in Milwaukee on 3/6 btw. I'm so there!

The new Bob Mould cd is just great! Picture "Workbook" with a bit of "Modulate" thown in. But it works. So I hear....
