Will Oldham - When was the first time, you realized the next time, would be the last time?

ok, i'll requote. THESE FUCKING RECORDS RULE MY FUCKING UNIVERSE, NOW AND FOR QUITE SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. fuck yeah!

au contraire, at least for me. these records i'll be listening to for quite some time in the future: Mogwai - hardcore will never die, but you will Grails - Deep Politics Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo Slug Guts - Howlin' Gang Locrian - The Clearing Oranssi Pazazu - Kosmonument Lifeguards - Waving at the Astronauts

it's good, just not top 10 good.

it's definitely not the Whigs' fault, just a cruel coincidence.

the Whigs are now filling in the Sunday slot for the UK ATP that GBV was supposed to play. I've seen the Whigs once, back in '92 or so.

at the expense of GBV, no thanks. well, i'm sure they are not related, but just having spent the $ for the UK one next year, i would much rather see GBV again than the whigs.

Demos probably had a court case to attend to.

well it's unclear as to what 'break-up' means (and that whole concept of the band being back together is a bit weird anyway...they do have two records out, but i figured that was gonna be it, w/ some 2012 shows to tour on), but this sucks.

a friend posted that on his FB this week, and there is some really funny stuff on that site.

that page is cool.

as part of his solo set in support of Buffalo Tom, Ted did a surprise (at least to me) cover of "Whiskey Bottle"...i didn't have the lens i would have preferred on my camera when the song started, but it'll have to do ps - watch it at 720 for best results http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae723Rw1JtQ

too much overlap w/ people who are Dream Theater fans.

they picked hte wrong Tull LP to give it the deluxe treatment

i finally bought a copy last weekend but haven't been able to listen to it yet.

Tull is so heavy, even Tony Iommi couldn't last in the band that long.

terrible list, imo.

that's always been RS's mode of operation...the 500 best bands list a few jazz, soul, blues or reggae artists and then the rest of the 97% is just rock. i wonder why they even bother...

Thanks OC Boyd. how was Thalia's set?

i put up a vid of Cortez The Killer, as well as the song BT did w/ Ted Leo. i am having problems w/ the Uncle Tupelo song that Ted Leo did in his solo set, but hope to have that up tonight.

here's my Buffalo Tom review/photos from the 1st night: http://www.prefixmag.com/photos/buffalo-tom-ted-leo-j-mascis-tanya-donelly-mike-om/#photo-1

so let's see the list.

it sounds like Elvis has no say in pricing, and based on how recording contracts are typically written, i would think that is true.

i would also say that just being a dexterity wizard doesn't make one a great guitarist...

Slash wasn't who i had in mind.
