don't forget the 'look' part. no, i am not trying to suppress anyone's freedom of speech in anyway. just curious about the investment of energy into what might be perceived as the tail end of the asymptote.

so did you regularly frequent the Dylan board in the long drought between what you considered crap and redemption?

with the amount of people disappointed by SBS and WTA, i am surprised that so many people still hang around this board. at what point does one give up hope on a band they used to love?

I am no fan of LCD but the rubric 'indie rock' is a pretty broad category. i can think of plenty of solid to great bands that can play their instruments and sing in tune, all at once! btw, i am surprised to see the swipe @ My Morning Jacket. you may not like their music which is fine, but James is undeniably a talented singer and they are a tight band (esp live).

wow. you seriously think that? that there's no good music from the last 20 years?

what happened to the 0.5 day? or is it not a full three day fest?

i will say that the small club shows that end at 12:30 take a harder toll than the big venue ones that end at 10 or 11.

well i did three full days in Vegas for the Matador 21st thing (23 bands) from Oct 1-3, saw Chapterhouse + 2 bands on the 5th, and Triptykon and 3 other bands on the 7th. earlier this year, i did 4 shows in 5 days (Kreator/Voivod/Nachtmystium/Evile; Blue Oyster Cult; RJD2+2; Harvey Milk/Coalesce+2) another slot of 4 shows in 6 days (DBT; Black Rebel MotoClub; Wilco; Wilco) in a 7 day span, i saw 5 shows (Oneida; Pearl Jam and then Buzzcocks: Pat Metheny; Neil Young/Bert Jansch) last year was pretty busy too... another 7 day/5 concert week in Feb (Antony; Witch; G Clinton/PFunk; Blitz

one of these: Sun City Girls - Funeral Mariachi Marc Ribot - Silent Movies Boston Spaceships - Our Cubehouse Still Rocks Emeralds - Does It Look Like I'm Here? Grinderman - 2 White Hills - S/T

unless my use of the search function was bungled, there were 20 pages w/o a mention of these guys???

somewhere between 0 and 100% although even at the lowest rating (AM or WTA), it's at least 40% good stuff. so maybe the lower range of 0 is unreasonable, at least for me.

talk about one hit wonders...what a hit!

at the home PC: Drive-by Truckers - Space City Grifters - Contact Me Now Grand Mal - Disaster Film ZZ Top - Bar-B-Q Penny & The Quarters - You and Me Sentridoh - Purple and Green The Drones - Oh My Loren Mazzacane Connors - Brigid's Song Spoon - The Minor Tough Sgt Sunshine - Kosmo-Terra

i saw the first three songs of the Allmans last night. only recognized 'Revival'

a few others that came up while I was thinking: The Soft Boys (_Nextdoorland_ and _Side Three_ are clearly not up to _Underwater Moonlight_ or _Can of Bees_, but they are quite excellent nonetheless) Versus (this year's _On The Ones and Threes_ is stellar) Throbbing Gristle (haven't heard the new one, but _The Endless Not_ was definitely solid) Savage Republic (not having Bruce Licher in the mix hurts, but _1938_ and the EP were good)

Mission of Burma. possibly Wire. and depending on the next record, Polvo.

Alex P Keaton and the Corporate Raiders

just checked via imdb...Modes! you are correct. it was I who was mistaken all these years.

swanky moes! definitely!!! that was my FFL team name one year. good call.

i don't really care about consensus, but to me there's been a considerable quality drop since _Love Kraft_...they really are a fantastic band though, and Gruff's solo stuff is still hitting the spot w/ me. I've only seen them twice, first on the Love Kraft tour which was fantastic, then at ATP/NY in '09 where they were disappointing.
