And, based on the rarity of talent, there's more noise without a greatly proportional increase in quality noise.

 

 

that's what i was trying to say.

you've got it all wrong.

there is more talent out there than ever before.

i take it you have his solo album? good stuff.

i've got a lot of the stuff he's been involved with...White Heaven, Stars, Onna, and Ghost. even the stuff w/ damon and naomi.

kurihara =

The only band worthy of having a full sized gong on stage.

It also goes without saying that Michio Kurihara is a living legend. I love the E-bow.....its unreal the way he can make a guitar sing.

Kurihara is among my favorite guitarists. amazing tone.

i am certain you will dig the show. he's got a great band, esp jim white on drums and that emmett guy on guitar.

Most of the stuff I listen to isnt really that underground, at least by underground standard. Take a band like Boris...the quality and scope of these guys' output boggles my mind. And yet they still play a venue like the Empty Bottle when they roll through town. Im not complaining by any stretch, but it gets to my point that there are some incredibly relevant, boundary-pushing/blurring groups out there today which get next to no recognition outside of some fairly niche communities.

boris rocks.

"The result is an extraordinary amount of mediocrity,"

 

 

this says it all. 99% of music is complete junk. and the fact that anyone can make a cd these days makes for even more junk! seriously, is there anything out there worth listening too besides wilco, son volt, white stripes, black keys, kings of leon?

And if the singer wants you to sing along...

forced audience participation is another circle of hell. ray davies fucking ruined his own show because of that grandstanding bullshit.

at acoustic shows it's the worst thing imaginable. well, if the crowd decides to add handclap percussion, it actually gets worse.

i had a Neil Young show ruined by this shit.

what.cd is where you wanna go

i don't have an account at what.cd, but what i've heard of waffles seems like it's not too far off from what oink was like.

That's too bad you didn't get to take any pictures. I saw someone with a huge camera snapping some pictures right in front of Will near the end of the set.

yeah, there was a guy behind me who had an SLR too; i heard the shutter a couple of times. it's not worth it for me to run afoul of Live Nation, though. still, it would have been fun to shoot; Will had some, er, interesting faces/gestures going on.

great show though, i really enjoyed it.

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.
