my bad...i forgot PHX was a bootlegger. they have access to a lot of great shit, though. http://www.discogs.com/label/59159-Phoenix-Records-2

yeah that makes sense. i didn't realize he was on that record. he's pretty busy....he's played w/ Lee Ranaldo for a while, did a Euro tour w/ Howe Gelb, and now he's back w/ Thurston. tonight - Ty Segall!

not sure how Steve Shelley would be an opener....what would he play? but i don't think he was in SKM's band either, at least at Newport edit - i guess he is! https://twitter.com/vampire_blues

Tweety, your dreams will soon be realized. http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/18/dice-music-ticket-app/

excellent record, recently re-issued legitly. interesting back story, too http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/rocker-dad-mum-al-qaeda-son-peace-love-treason-article-1.626431

do you think the average teen hip-hop or pop listener (which i'm sure is probably the majority in that market segment) gives a toss about an Irish rock band?

in the 00s, most of those teenagers were 5 years old or younger, or not even born.

i'm a little late, but finally someone's talking about good bands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaue95gDAmQ

working on the review now...stay tuned!

looks like it'll be Bob Mould

YOB - Clearing The Path To Ascend

Priest >>>> Iron Maiden

yep. those are solid. i think it's telling that certain genres (folk, blues, soul) are more represented than say, rock or metal. maybe people mellow in their old age (aside from Gira, that is).

obvious oversight...

Cave's a good one... and possibly The Dirty Three as well but Warren's 49 now. the first Grinderman record was made when he was 49, so that doesn't make the cut.

sorry man...those vocals at 0:30 just killed it for me.

I'll give credit to Nick Cave for that one. but i hear where you are coming from. i'd give Rubin some of the credit too... not sure who picked the songs and did the arrangements. essential to me means that as a fan of that record, you listen to it quite a bit and it's as good as their best work.

there are some acoustic guitar players that would qualify...i am not sure how old Alan and Rick Bishop are, but they have to be mid-50s. Glenn Jones is certainly that old as well. all have made excellent records in the last 5 years.

a lot of that Rubin material was covers though.

the thread about Neil (and the apparent lack of interest in his recent work) made me think about the relationship between the aging process and the creative process... it would definitely seem that most people lose their creative spark as time moves on. what do you have? Robyn Hitchcock was 52 when Ole Tarantula came out, definitely the most even of his later records. Robert Pollard's put out an amazing 30 LPs (solo, GBV, Circus Devils, Boston Spaceships, etc) since turning 50, and at least a handful of those stand up (most notably the Spaceships stuff) i know Dylan's got his fans but

i ran into David Fricke a few weeks ago when i was eating lunch outside a restaurant in Hyannis and he walked by on the sidewalk.

Why is WTA the only record such affected?
