    The Go! Team - Proof of Youth

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Yeah, an absolute hoot live. They nicely mixed things up at ATP this year just when everyone was getting bored of post- and muso-rock :)

     

    I saw them open for Sonic Youth and I think they are the only band on the planet that could make Sonic Youth seem bland by comparison. They were amazing live. However, I got their disc and never play it. After seeing the show, the disc just couldn't compare.

    First ever "Outlaw Blues" and first "One More Cup of Coffee" since 11/16/93, the first of the infamous Supper Club shows. Jack White is rubbing off on him. Earlier in the week was the first ever "Meet Me in the Morning" and first "You're a Big Girl Now" since 2002.

    as for the "muddy production", let's wait until we hear a no-web rip to judge that

     

    Nah, I thought the same thing for Devils and Dust and The Rising. The CD's didn't make them sound better production-wise. They all sound muddy. Listen to The Seegar Sessions and then any of the Brenden produced discs. Night and day difference.

    Terry's Song saves the second half of this album

     

    Story behind the song. I guess Bruce added it as a "hidden" track since Amazon doesn't even list it....

     

    "REMEMBERING TERRY MAGOVERN"

    As reported previously, Springsteen's longtime friend and "faithful working companion" Terry Magovern passed away on July 30. There's now a tribute page to the man at brucespringsteen.net. "Terry stood as a strange New Jersey version of 'the catcher in the rye,' out on the edge of some windswept cliff keeping children from rushing over the edge," Springsteen writes. "He was always busy saving something or somebody. It was his blessing and his tragedy." Along with Springsteen's eulogy, also posted there are photos from throughout Terry's life (including one from the Tunnel of Love tour, as he manned the carnival ticket booth), the Asbury Park Press obituary, and a stirring remembrance from Marah's Serge Bielanko. Visit "Remembering Terry Magovern."

     

    Springsteen wrote "Terry's Song" for his old friend and performed it at the memorial service in early August; several sources indicate that a recording of the song may be added to Magic as a hidden bonus track.

    Terry's Song saves the second half of this album

     

    I think it saves the entire album. I need to focus on the lyrics more, but musically this is disc is a snoozer. It is what I feared; call it a E-Strret band disc even though it may as well be a solo Bruce project so you can take the whole band on the road to sell out stadiums....

     

    At least 3 songs actually sound like the whole band was "involved".

    "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" may be the worst thing he's put on disc. That's my only first impression which also isn't a good thing...

     

    OK, didn't Landau hype this as some big windows-down, rocking album? It certainly isn't that on first listen.

    i thought this album was absolutely aweful the first few listens but have to admit that it is growing on me.

     

    I have never understood the Jenny Lewis love around here. Her stuff sounds like bland Lisa Loab-ish stuff to me. Is there some great disc she put out that I need to hear? I have heard the solo disc because my wife digs it and I justl don't hear anything special there.

    Bruce Springsteen's "Magic" Announcement

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    I understand what you are saying, but I just feel like there was a bit too much hype for Modern Times. I listened to it a few times, and it wasn't much to write home about, and yet it was being talked about like it was a masterpiece. I just didn't care for it, and I thought it was more a product of it not being awful, and people having low expectations.

     

    Or not low expectations, but ratherbeing much more forgivable of it's flaws. If he released Modern Times in 1965, it would've been panned.

     

    I disagree with everything you said.

     

    I would hold Modern Times up to any of Dylan's 60's output. I think in many ways it may be the best thing he's done. "Spirit on the Water" is a stone cold classic imo.

     

    If "Magic" is half as good I'll be thrilled.

    I think its pretty obvious the guys a total self absorbed piece of crap, but if you deny his genius I dont think you've listened to the bulk of his catalog

     

    OK, since you've called him a genius like 5 times now.....please expound on what makes him so. Besides him calling himself one in DIG. What has he done musically that 1,000,000 other bands haven't done better before him? The sitar has been around a long time you know. George Harrison was a genius, Anton....sorry man, don't hear it at all. Have you heard many records from the 60's?

    Well you really need to check out their music, the movie just shows what a metally ill guy anton was.... His albums are complete and udder genius.

     

    This guy has it.

     

    Well..he may have "it" by your standards, be one thing he certainly doesn't have is a good singing voice. I can barely make it through one song. Maybe I should try harder. I had that double CD retrospective and it made me just want to listen to my old Love and Rockets and Stones records....
