it's all about 'peephole'

fair enough. you've definitely heard enough of Hitchcock to form an opinion. i would recommend listening to _I Often Dream Of Trains_, a spare and sparse outing, mainly him on acoustic guitar, w/ a little bit of piano here and there (and soprano sax on the gorgeous "Flavour of Night") Robyn's put out a 2cd live set consisting of just Dylan songs. it's quite good.

buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Anthology-Clean/dp/B00007L7E1 is this board cool w/ doing zipped mp3 uploads? if so, i'll do a ~8 song sampler that will give you a good dose of what i'm talking about re: 80s New Zealand music. two serious questions: 1 - what have you heard from Hitchcock? 2 - do you like Barrett and Dylan?

now this is blasphemy...Flying Nun is the greatest label of all time. The Chills The Clean The Bats Verlaines The Pin Group This Kind of Punishment/Jefferies brothers Gordons Dead C The Rip/Alastair Galbraith Tall Dwarfs Bill Direen/Bilders all those bands put out totally essential records in the 80s.

i suppose it could be, if you don't own any records released by SST, Homestead, Flying Nun, Factory, etc...

replace 'Lay Lady Lay' for 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' for me.

well in defense of IRDB, this thread basically is a breeding ground for flame wars. but i do agree that the Dead are woefully over-rated.

i do love 'Dondante' and think it's their best song by a wide margin.

by 2nd time in a row i meant 2nd time that i've seen him...saw him play in '06 as well and he did the same thing.

i was pretty bummed that for the 2nd time in a row, Ray sang '20th century man' and left out the bridge (the part w/ the 'i was born in a welfare state'). why the hell would he do that? it's the best part of the song!

i won't be able to go w/ a month-by-month rundown...i probably bought 150LPs and 30-40 cds. that's just a wild guess.

Review: Neko Case w/ Calexico and a stealth shot of Neko

i really like _Shelter from the Ash_ a lot, and _Dark Noontide_ as well. _Songs For Octavio Paz_ is pretty mellow, but good. they are 12" records; the Tyst Minut came as a bonus CD on the _Tat De Lugnt_ cd reissue. not sure if _Samtidigt_ has been reissued...it originally came out on Mexican Summer which is an off-shoot of Kemado and has put out some fine fine records, including ones from Kurt Vile and Wooden Shjips.

i am still waiting to see them play live...it just hasn't worked out the last couple of dates they've played boston (was out of town, and the 2nd time the show sold out and i couldn't get in).

I had The National and Wilco in my mind, but just because DtS put out the relative clunker BAAC, it hardly detracts from the greatness of SRO, TDS and DD. likewise, Neko's only got two records which i consider stunners, and they are the last two. Wilco was a tough one, but ultimately they didn't make the cut. another attempt could yield a different list. i'd say the only true locks on the list would be Mogwai and Boris.

seeing Cortez' list makes me realize that both Drive-By Truckers and Jason Molina belong. but who to chop off?

Duane Denison, anyone? pretty much forged his own style. i can never tire of 'monkey trick'

when i saw Roger Daltrey last week he mentioned the Tea Party.

the new one is really good. i didn't care for any post-SB material, really. however, he has turned the live show into a cul de sac that he can't exit.

if they hadn't started going seriously downhill since _Love Kraft_ i might back you. plus, the live show in '05 was great but they were the WORST act at ATP/NY this year...really disappointing to me.

what songs did you listen to? i find it hard to believe that a general fan of ROCK MUSIC could not be moved by some Pollardian creations

no, the best live LP ever made (and one not listed in this top 100) is BOC's _On Your Feet Or On Your Knees_.

well how about the fact that, unlike books, the MSRP for any cd is typically the same (not counting 'nice price' stuff).

and you are complaining about needing a pillow for MMJ?
