i would say trace is the most solid album of the alt-country movement, wilco non-withstanding. i would say it beats out strangers almanac and the jayhawks records in terms of being a solid album. no other alt country band (besides tupelo with anodyne) put out such a great album. im gonna listen to it now.

i havent tried it, but the passive lr baggs is the one i want to get. it looks like the one jeff uses. run that through a decent preamp and you should be fine.

i happen to love wide swing. i also like straightaways despite everyone saying its not nearly as good as trace. i still stick by the original 3.

i wonder what their number 1 pick will be. i can almost guarantee i will disagree with whatever they choose.

you never know.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

that would be sick. jeff tweedy would definitely beat up ryan adams. remember when he wailed that dumbass in the face at some show?

and after reading this thread, and the other thread dedicated to this video, i would like to sincerely apologize to each and every one of you for bringing this back up. this is the first day of the rest of my vc life.

hmm, maybe its coincidence. theres a chance he could be making fun of it though.

hes clearly making fun of "you never know." ANYWAY i learned that ryan adams is unoriginal and jim o rourke transcends time and space. i also learned that some dude on the board met ryan, and wore a green wilco shirt.

if it werent for yhf, the national wouldnt have made boxer, which is a great album. tons of new indie bands are citing yhf as an influence. theres a band called cherry ghost that was very influenced by wilco.

which would essentially be an attenuator. i hope future amp people read this thread and save themselves 20 bucks. use that master volume knob!

haha, maybe you guys are right. i am looking too far into it. still though, sorta annoying. sorry about the double thread thing, i would have had no idea where to search.

i used to be big ryan adams fan, and i havent really been listening to him since cardinology. i mean, hes clearly ripping on wilco a little bit. i feel like hes calling us dumb for liking "slightly country" music, which is what got him famous in the first place. i dunno how much i wanna listen to him anymore after this. i am a wilco fan first and foremost, and im a tad insulted.

hell, id go to their childhood homes. thats cool as hell, you can see how a songwriter grew up, which is huge. think of how they were inspired and stuff.

i have gone to 4 wilco shows, and everyone i met there was cool as hell. noone was rude at all. i cant say the same about ryan adams shows.

i read that those master volume controls arent really a power attenuator. since an amps effects loop goes between the preamp and power amp stages, you would really only be cranking the preamp. if you have a master volume amp, it does the same thing as cranking the preamp and using the master control. i think i might get this dr. z thing, cause its relatively cheap and stuff. the reason i got rid of my hot rod 50 4X10 (other than the weight) was because it was too loud. the peavey classic 30 i use now is still pretty damn loud, i can crank it to 5 or so and its at a comfortable level in

so i was thinking about buying a power attenuator for my peavey classic 30. i came across this really cool model: the dr. z amp brake light. it mounts right in your cabinet, and works on most amps under 45 watts. i was wondering if anyone here at sst has had any experience with this model or any other attenuators. what would you guys recommend? http://www.drzamps.com/brakelite.html

me too, man. me too. ive stayed away from the loggins family, and that post was the last nail in the coffin. what about "post links to your band!" on sst? im too lazy to link to it. its a really cool thread.

i once made a post about this band the hymns im really into, i dont think thats really such a bad thing. for people who self promote their own bands, theres a thread in sst. all in all id say music is music and its not a big deal for someone to "street team" it on a message board. someone out there has to dig crosby loggins.

this is awesome, awesome stuff. its like mccartney, without the annoying ego

i love zwan, and i love bash and pop. i picked up the love spit love today, pretty cool. thanks dude.

im going to scream nonsense at wilco shows to hopefully prompt more threads like this.

in terms of son volt, i think its in the lyrics. trace was a solid record in that it had one unifying theme: time. it was a solid record with a theme. i feel a lot of his stuff after that sorta lost coherence, and it was basically just a few great songs per album. when hes great, hes amazing. i dunno. just my opinion. the lyrics on the new record arent close to trace.

mellencamp? really?
