I'm in the market for my second external. Any recommendations?
you will always find people who have had failures w/ a specific brand and then swore off using them in the future.
i've had 7 different external hard drives...Western Digital, Maxtor, Seagate and Fantom. two have failed; a WD500 after over a year, and a Seagate after a few weeks. my Maxtor 300gb is my oldest and is at least 4 years old at this point. i've been happy w/ the Fantom drives i've gotten recently, but i really should look into a RAID system.
-
I'm actually going to buy a second 1 TB drive to back up my backup.
that's a good idea.
it not's *if* the hard drive will fail, it's *when*.
and i am *way* behind in backing up my data...i've got at least 50 gigs (shows, not GB...it's a lot more than 50GB) worth of photos w/ no redundancy right now...not good.

They can't bring themselves to say "don't like." It's mean.
I don't like the Grateful Dead. Aside from "Blues For Allah."
There. I said it.

I disagree he has always had "An emporers new clothes" feel to me. People rave about him publicly and wax peotically about his genius and how difficult it is to understand him, but in the long run, I do not believe that what they write means what they think it means. And he is basiclaly exposed for what he is on the very first listen. Beer is an ecquired taste and I grew to like it fairly quickly and love it over time. I neither love Beefheart nor like him and I have been trying for far longer than I have with beer.
guessing at others' motives and interpretations is always a dangerous game.
The two greatest psychedelic bands of all time [OP was referring to Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead], and also the two single greatest live acts in rock history(ok, throw the young WHO in there as well) both in terms of the show and the technology they pushed to change the live experience as we know it today.your definition of 'psychedelic' and 'greatest live act' wildly differs from mine...the Dead are neither.

i would start w/ either _murray street_ or _sonic nurse_ and work backwards.
if you want to start right into choppier waters, _EVOL_ is awesome (as is _Sister_).
-
i'm no fan of the _The Wall_ but the previous work, i think, is pretty spotless. take "shine on," that's an incredible paean to a lost band member. if you want me to cherry pick some favorites for yr scrutiny i certainly can.
btw, Qui covered "Echoes."
-
Question to both of you: If they are such great lyricists, then why doesn't anybody ever cover their songs?
that seems like an odd correlation to make.
there are plenty of often-covered songs w/ crap lyrics.
and yes, I'd say that Floyd are almost always revered when it comes to lyrics. seriously, i can't believe it's in question.

"In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection/slowly screwing my way across Europe, they had to make a correction"
-
I'm glad others have mentioned Trout Mask because that one never worked for me either.
is that because you don't get Beefheart in general, or just that album.
i will say that I prefer _Safe As Milk_ but i do like TMR as well.

I was only able to pick up the Wilco DVD (which is awesome). I went to Reckless on Milwaukee Ave and the Pavement LP was way sold out (got there at 11). Does anyone who got it have the ability to rip it and upload it to sendspace or something? I'd love to hear it.

i'm sure that the blogosphere will have copies if you search for them...
-
I really really wanted to find those sonic youth splits but I had no luck
the SY online store was selling some copies...i got the Reatard split (the Beck was sold out).
-
well said. the record companies are experiencing a wake up call. most of the shit people download they would not buy in the first place. however, they might download something on a whim and actually dig it and go buy it, resulting in an otherwise unintentional purchase.
i tend to agree w/ that sentiment, but totally random polls/threads i'd seen from Oink would imply that a large percentage of younger music fans are unrepentant in their defense of not buying anything, w/ a casual 'i'll buy a t-shirt at a show' justification...

D: If a new shopper were to walk into a record store for the first time on Record Store Day, what would you want them to know?
DC: The alphabet. No, I didn
-
the store i went to (peabody location of newbury comics) had a bunch of the wilco DVD. i got one rather than chance it being gone on a later visit.

hey, you must be spastic semicolon!
which prompted my DtS thread.

god-damn yes
seeing this played live in chicago on new year's eve 2004 was one of the greatest things i've ever experienced
it's a complete mystery to me why Pollard ignored that song....for a band who constantly toured, and played ~65 songs a night, it's a crime to have not played that one.

seriously, what's the fucking difference between me expressing my opinion on this thread and others who have listed a preference for one of the three artists in question?
because the original poster wanted a recommendation from the three posted. not some naybobber of negativity pissing all over them.
got the fucking difference?
-
Looking to dive in and spend some time with one of these fantastic artists. I have very little knowledge of any of their works and I am looking for a new artist to sit with for awhile. If you could pick only one, which would you pick and what album would you start with?
Palace/BPB without a doubt, and this record (his 2nd, unofficially known as Days in the Wake)
-
valid point, but Dino is playing much smaller venues: bars and dives. the sound has much less room to travel. and, i doubt mbv is MUCH louder.
trust me, it is. Dino Jr played before MBV @ ATP last year, and MBV was by far the loudest band i've ever been close to. louder than Boris, than Dino Jr, than Mogwai...probably Swans would be the only louder band ever to play.
-
is it me or do most US-based festivals suck?
last year's ATP/NY was awesome, and pitchfork typically has a decent lineup. but it seems like it's a lot of the same bands playing, and it's not like they don't already tour a lot anyway...then you look @ european fests and there are some excellent ones:

wasn't that a Spin cover on Jim Morrison about 25 years ago?

at least it's doing some serious crunching...iTunes is a colossal waste of resources for no good reason. run foobar and it'll be clear.
