  1. Replacing the good lord with an object of sexual desire! Blasphemy. Burn him!!!
  2. I love Neil, but if I never heard that song again I wouldn't be too upset. Its a stinker.
  3. Under the Red Sky has some really nice songs on it. I think people are put off by 'Wiggle Wigg;e' and don't give the rest a chance. I like tracks like 'Handy Dandy' and 'Cats In The Well'. They're very simple songs, musically and lyrically, but there's nothing wrong with that. Can't agree about the 'Dylan' album I'm afraid. One of my favourites, that never gets loved, is 'Saved'. I think people can't stomach the message but songs like 'Pushing On' are really powerful.
  4. Nothing wrong with 'Self Portrait' bar a lack of editing maybe. You can make a really nice 40 minute record out of it. I also really like 'All The Tired Horses' which is one of my favourite Dylan songs. I'm not saying its a masterpiece, but it makes me happy.
  5. I'm sure that's what Dylan was thinking when he rushed out 'Highway 61' and 'Blonde on Blonde' within twelve months of 'Bringing It All back Home'!!!! And I'd be more than happy with another Sky Blue Sky.
  6. I'm in. With the three of us it would be a pretty intimate show. I'm sure I could accomdate the show in my cellar!!
  7. Sparklehorse, Dangermouse and Flaming Lips: Revenge Archive: Bullets Wilco: One Wing The Black Crowes: Apolosa Duke & The King: Lose Myself Jason Lytle: Rollin Home Alone Grant-Lee Phillips: Buried Tresure Yim Yames: My Sweet Lord M. Ward: Episapology Felice Brothers: Rise & Shine Monsters Of Folk: Sandman, Brakeman & Me Bob Dylan: I Feel A Change Comin On Decemberists: Hazards Of Love IV: The Drowning I have ordered them in a ready-made compilation order.
  8. I'm sure this is just an oversight.....but no-one has mentioned Mick Jagger and David Bowie 'Dancing In The Streets'!!. The video for that one was pretty horible if I recall. However, in terms of good duets, I would say: Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash: Girl From The North Country (Very Ragged but I love it). Tom Waits and Bette Midler: I Never Talk To Strangers. Tom Waits and Keith Richards: That Feel (This one is, as expected, really ragged!). Sparklehorse and The Flaming Lips: Go (off the Daniel Johnson Tribute Record). Bjork and Thom Yorke: I've Seen It All (off the Selma Songs Soundtrack) A
  9. I have picked up this album and it is really lovely. Reminds me of 'Mobilse' in places. A really beautiful listening experience. A couple of songs are up there, on first listen, with anything Mr. Phillips has put out previosuly. You also get a download code for bonus material which I haven't checked out yet.
  10. Good morning guys. I was sitting in my cellar last night listening to some tunes (Genesis - Lamb Lies Down On Broadway SACD).I became aware of how much music I had and realised I had brought so may albums this year that I hadn't given much time to. When I was a kid I could only afford one album every couple of months or so. I looked forward to getting it and really treasured it and absorbed it fully (The Lamb for example...lovely gatefold vinyl with story and lyrics). These days I seem to pick up so much music that if it doesn't grab me immediately it just goes on the shelf and is left to fest
  11. This is an amazing little site if you're a bit sad and are trying to ascertain what will be coming in the future Archives sets. http://www.re-act-or.net/ny-73-78.shtml
  12. .....And 'Suppers Ready' sounds great in SACD 5:1 sound. "A Flower!!!" The last five minutes of the song can still really move me even twenty-five years after first hearing it. Its a classic piece of work.
  13. I finally treated myself to the Genesis 1970-1975 box set and it is amazing. Well worth every penny. Each disk has about forty minutes of interviews and some of the extra stuff is really good. What struck me however, as someone who was too young to catch them back in the day, is just how weird they were. There is footage of 'Watcher' off a Belgium TV show and there is something about Peter Gabriel in the Bat-Wings and face paint that is quite disturbing. His stage presence and mvements are really unsettling. There are also clips of the Old Man stuff from Musical Box and the Fox Head/Red Dress
  14. I tend to agree with you. I also loved the unplugged album which came out shortly after Harvest Moon. I remember these shows and there was a lot of unrest in the audience as he was just playing a whole set of new material. People were booing and walking out!!
  15. No No No!!! This should not be allowed to happen. We need to stop him and quickly before its too late!!!.
  16. I can certainly see where your coming from Matt. The similarlities are a bit much, and the vocal stylings very close to Dylan (nasel whining!). But, as you also mentioned, they are a damn good band. I suppose some bands are going to be inovative and some are going to be somewhat derivative. Bottom line, I suppose, is 'do you like it?', 'does it move you?' 'do you like to stomp arouind in your basement with a glass of wine whilst grooving to it?'. They tick all the boxes for me, derivative or not. In reference to this specific album, I was not sure about it at first but as time has passed I h
  17. Ha Ha. I would'nt be suprised at all to find this release prosponed for some reason or the other, preferable the reason you mentioned. I proposed "Braun Dreams".
  18. Its Friday afternoon, I'm bored at work and I have a real desire to make a list!!. With that In mind I'm gonna add my top twenty albums of all time, in-order. In recognition of the post above, and a previous thread I started last week, there will be no Beatles in my list. 1) Lambchop: Nixon. 2) Sparklehorse: Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot. 3) Micah P. Hinson: ...And The Opera Circuit. 4) Van Morrison: Veedon Fleece. 5) Tom Waits: Rain Dogs. 6) Neil Young: On The Beach. 7) M. Ward: Trasnsistor Radio. 8) Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited. 9) My Morning Jacket: Z 10) Eels: Electro Sh
  19. Has anybody heard any more about the lastest Archive Performance Series release (Number 12 - Dreamin Man). From what I recall it was supposed to be out on 2nd November. Usually you would see pre-release info on Amazon etc but there is no mention of it?
  20. Mirroring comments above, 'Ritual De Lo Habitual' has to be on the list (are we compiling these?). 'Jane's' were a really influencial group back then. Side two was awesome with tracks like 'Three Days', 'And Then She did' and 'Classic Girl'. I prefer 'Nothing's Shocking' personally but that was back in the 80's.
  21. He's mine, in Chronological order. Looking at the list '94 looks like a pretty good year. Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Ragged Glory '90 Massive Attack - Blue Lines '91 Tom Waits - Bone Machine '92 Black Crowes - Southern Harmony...'92 Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy '94 Grant Lee Buffalo - Mighty Joe Moon '94 Portishead - Dummy '94 Marillion - Brave '94 Neil Young - Sleeps With Angels '94 Tricky - Mazinquaye '95 Wilco - Being There '96 Belle and Sebastian - If Your Feeling Sinister '96 DJ Shadow - Introducing '96 Bod Dylan - Time Out Of Mind '97 The Jayhawks - Sound Of Lies '97 Bjork - Homogenic
  22. I'm in the UK so we have no Cadillacs, let alone Cadillac comercials!!! (It's a pain sometimes waiting for you guys to get out of bed and answer my posts!!!) . I will check them out based on the above recommendations.
  23. Impecable taste you have. That list would mirror mine in many ways (Never heard of 'Hum' though). It gets overlooked these days but 'Southern Harmony And Musical Companium' is a bonafide classic album and should be in everyone's record collection. 'My Morning Song', 'Hotel illness' 'Remedy' its all good!!
  24. What about Los Lobos?. I haven't looked through this thread but I seem to recall that they were pretty good in the nineties!!!!
  25. My son is 5 aswell (His birthday was yesterday!) and I will definately be taking him. We watched the trailer on-line and he was really excited. There may well be scary elements to it but I have no reservations in taking him in to see it. Sometimes you need to expose the little 'uns to slightly unsettling things to give them a fuller experience of life, even at an early age. Related to the above post, I remember seeing the 'Wizard of Oz' and hiding behind the sofa when the wicked witch appeared. It scared me, and I remember it, but it didn't do me any harm. As mentioned in the Sendak intervie
