i was at the show as well, thought it was fantastic. what a great band he's got assembled, especially emmett and jim white. loved some of the arrangements. thanks for the setlist!

i really wanted to shoot this show, but drag city said will wasn't granting photo passes and to just be discreet...well, after shooting @ the wilbur WITH a photo pass for mogwai and dealing w/ their headaches, it wasn't worth it. oh well.

Very cool. Nice to hear that someone who delivers the news in such a straightforward, conservative fashion has a RxR side. Can't imagine Chancellor or Cronkite digging stuff like this!

Irving R Levine was a big St Vitus fan.

Chameleons - Tears

someone gets it.

So what is the best music mag to get now? MOJO? Q? Magnet? Under the Radar?

i get Mojo and Uncut, but they are expensive and there's a lot of overlap between the two, so i should just pick one (probably Mojo).

i used to get Wire, but couldn't keep up. i really miss Comes With A Smile...that was a fantastic mag. Plan B is also pretty good though i've not gotten around to subbing.

why is it that UK mags are so much better than US ones?

disclaimer - i used to contribute to Skyscraper (now online-only), and still do w/ The Big Takeover.

Is that Buck Dharma or Guido Sarduchi?

it could go either way.

seriously, buck dharma plays the best solos. incredible stuff.

Really enjoying 93 Million Miles From The Sun. Crappy band name, but some of the best "nu-gaze" I've heard. TONS of Slowdive influences here...but that is certainitly not a bad thing

Dig it.

at first i thought you were referring to the Swervedriver EP.

and i should read the entire thread before responding.

For someone who's looking for shoegaze outside of My Bloody Valentine (although I like them just fine) are there any recomendations?

Airiel is pretty good for current stuff. for older stuff, i'd suggest Ride, or Lush.

here's my review of the Kills/Horrors show:

Notice how you never see the two of them together?

they were on tour together last year.

i like J better.

no love for 'nefarious'?

'and now your teeth are all red and there's a little bit about you i don't wanna know'

classic.

Girls Can Tell: Tied between Lines In The Suit and Me and the Bean (I know it's a cover, but it is still awesome)

who did the original? i didn't know it was a cover.

GCT is their best record. greatness abounds.

I have done. I saw them live once (opening for King Missile, of all things). They were great. I have two of their records, one I really like (Meridian) and the other I don't like as much (The Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company...on that one, Lisher does sort of fall into the guitar exercises trap I mentioned earlier).

_breakfast on the beach of deception_ kinda spans those two..._The Insect God_ is also pretty good.

i didn't like Lisher's solo record at all.

I've always thought the guy in Camper Van Beethoven was/is a fantastic guitarist. His playing on Key Lime Pie is so supportive of the songs, and does not fall into the typical trap of scale patterns or other guitaristic exercises.

Greg Lisher! and Chris Pedersen is a fantastic drummer too.

GILMOUR

not

GILMORE

now i feel better.

"Love" was their best, with "Electric" as runner-up. "Sonic Temple" was not bad. Back in the '80s, I thought The Cult had the potential to be the Hegelian synthesis of hippie music and punk that would rule the world. It took me a long time to get into "Electric" - I thought at the time it was a serious step backwards, but now I appreciate its straightforward-rockness.

_Dreamtime_ is a ton better than _Sonic Temple_...if you've not heard that one, seek it out.

Some of my favorite guitar teams:

 

Zoot Horn Rollo & Antennea Jimmy Semens (Captain Beefheart)

Ash Bowie & Dave Brylawski (Polvo)

great calls...excellent teams.

donald 'buck dharma' roeser [blue oyster cult]- crafts the finest solos ever...listen to 'last days of may' and tell me i'm wrong

jon mcgeoch [magazine, siouxsie/banshees, public image] - woefully underrated player...best of the 80s? maybe.

john fahey - singlehandedly created the new primitive america genre. amazingly skillful, and not afraid to do new things.

marc ribot [tom waits, elvis costello, robert plant, john zorn, solo] - master of all styles, incredibly skilled wrt to melody and emotion.

thurston moore/lee renaldo [sonic youth] - impossible to credit one and not the other...revolutionized the way guitars are used and abused, or at least brought those methods to a larger audience. always a treat to see play live.

That obviously implies you aren't a true fan.

Though War on War has a valid point, Incinerate is a pretty great song. Too bad the rest of the album doesn't live up to it.

for me, RR is all about "Pink Steam." best song on it, no question in my mind.

And that was post #666 for you.

 

I have actually seen Anal Cunt.

are you gay?

i've become a casual acquaintance w/ drummer Tim Morse; good guy.

Almost any song by The Frogs.

'we're gonna kill the california girls' - Sonic Youth "Expressway To Your Skull"

Yeah, I'm surprised by there not being a show anywhere in New England. I probably would've gone for it, since it would be an easier trip for me than DC or Richmond.

my guess is that they will hit New England on the tail end of whatever European shows they do.
