Rest In Peace, Don Van Vliet

Safe As Milk or maybe Bat Chain Puller. I've got the Grow Fins box set on shuffle right now. -
The good captain surfaced in the recent 'respected artists that do nothing for you' and the sad news hit today that he's passed on to another place. He certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea, but he was musically fearless and charted new boundaries that no one else considered. Sail on.

$225 (plus whatever shipping would be) is a pretty fair price for a lavish, 19 cd box set.

if there are more people, they need to figure out a better system for funneling people from the gift shop/lobby area out into the patio/deck/courtyard area. -

it was a great setting, imo...the capacity of the inside venue made things a bit cramped (esp when rain forced some shows indoors), but the outside courtyard and fields were perfect. and as noted above, the food options on site were pretty solid (let's hope for a better beer selection next year...). one thing i just realized is that the 24th is the last day of school for my kids, assuming no snow days...hmmm... i do get that it's out of the way for people who don't live in the northeast, but isn't that generally true for bonnaroo and coachella? i have never been to either, so i might b -

were you @ Savoy Mt? I stayed there last year and it was great. I just called and they are sold out for that weekend. Damn, where there a lot of speculators snapping up reservations left and right??? -
Band that you like the 'idea of'...

'one of most accessible recording artists around'? He's done two phone interviews in his career. I know Seth Tisue...I'll ask his opinion of Mr Smith's accessibility. -

agreed, though i heard a great Zumpano song today ("orange air"). actually, i like the Dan songs too, for the most part. -
British punk rock
tinnitus photography replied to tinnitus photography's topic in Someone Else's Song
for The Jam i was talking 1st record (thought i think their finest is certainly _Setting Sons_...that 1st record is among their weakest). The Clash quickly moved past the genre, starting w/ their second LP. Don Letts was probably the biggest influence on The Clash's reggae fixation. right next to the Screamers. punk. seeing them perform their first record was amazing. -

agreed...there is punk as an attitude, and punk as a genre. -

'old black hen' doesn't really fit...other than that. 'riding w/ the ghost' has some incredibly great lyrics. as does 'just be simple' -

TV, while being a solid band, lost their punk edge (imo) when Hell left. not many punk LPs had guitar solo credits don't get me wrong, i think that Carroll had some solid songs ('It's Too Late' is a fantastic song) but he's certainly not at the level of the UK bands i mentioned. also, Patti Smith was not a punk rock musician. the CB's scene was an amalgam of different musics. -

yeah, Ubu was far too weird to be lumped into the punk rock ghetto. other Cle bands would include Mirrors, Styrenes, Electric Eels...DEVO wasn't exactly in the same sound or region, but not too far away. i will definitely give you Richard Hell. Carroll, less so. definitely a different flavor between punk rock and hardcore for me. hardcore kinda starts w/ Touch and Go and Dischord...punk rock would be Dangerhouse, Posh Boy, What Records, etc.
