>Of course not......neither did Thrill Jockey, but they did continue to put out LPs when most companies stopped. most indie labels have never stopped putting out vinyl...siltbreeze, matador, merge... >Have you tried to buy a new 78 lately?? i bought one about ~15 years ago >I bought the new Robyn Hitchcock for 18 bucks and got a free download. In this case not a rip-off. The market will bear what the market will bear won't it. If >an album sucks, yea, 20 bucks is too much, download or not. CDs are a rip-off at 15 too. Most of the cost of either doesn't go to the artis

The Drones are an excellent rock band. i like 'em quite a bit.

how did Touch and Go spearhead a format that was developed many decades before Corey Rusk was born? so LPs won't last in the long run? you can play a pre-wars 78 just fine today. how many other formats can you do that? cds are gonna be gone in ~10 years or so. Shellac (I think) started this w/ _1000 Hurts_) so if 18 or 20 is a rip-off, what in your estimation is a fair price for a physical artifact of a recording? digital still needs to handle dynamic range better, but i think it's pretty clear that analog is pretty much dead from a photography perspective, unles

Morrissey in Boston

i saw him last night. i'll have my review and photos up hopefully tonight.

i liked when byron coley did the Underground column for Spin...some excellent stuff there. btw, i think that sometimes you get free mag subs when you buy tickets via ticketmaster...i think i got half a year of RS that way once...i'd never willingly spend $ on that mag.

you could just as easily substitute ATHLETE or MOVIE/TV STAR...i doubt our values will change, since people still want to be entertained.

your quote was taken a little of out context i thought (trying too hard to paint the owner as an arrogant asshole); the point i took away was that he played stuff he liked, and people would take note of it, and if they liked it, order it (see the comment about Chet Baker). hell, if i owned a record store, i would play music i liked. wouldn't you? btw, i was down in Atlanta for the Scion Rock Fest and caught the in-store performances the day before @ Criminal. i thought that was a hell of a record store...i didn't get to browse too much, but really liked what i saw, and the fact that t

just because you think that U2/Bruce/whoever is playing the enormo-dome has made enough money and shouldn't charge that much for a ticket, obviously others disagree w/ you, so your one man boycott isn't too effective, is it? or do you think the gubbmint should put laws in place to throttle back their greed?

at least two band (Einsturzende Neubaten and Throwing Muses/50 Foot Wave/Kristin Hersh) already do this. so who gets to decide how much money is enough? you? yes, you do. by not buying a ticket and going to the show. but that's the extent of yr influence. i don't think capitalism will shrivel up and die because of you.

drunken posting is accepted.

it's already a topic on a couple of other boards i frequent.

it's key to understand that the author is a big Guided By Voices fan, and that GBV's first record _Forever Since Breakfast_ sounds a LOT like early REM... also, it sounds like you might not have heard any Miracle Legion or Winter Hours.

Redd Kross (or at least Steve MacDonald) added bass to White Stripes' _White Blood Cells_ and called it _Redd Blood Cells_ http://www.reddkross.com/features/RBC/

yeah, it was at the ICA...i've only seen Galaxie 500 once, and was never a huge fan of Luna but that night was really really good...i'll probably spring for the DVD when it comes out. thanks for the kind words re: the throwing muses.

i went to the Dean and Britta Warhol Screen Tests the other night (they play songs while a projected film of one of Warhol's screen tests focuses on a person's face) and it was amazingly good...Dean's always had a pretty deep VU streak in his playing and songwriting and they were the perfect band for this project.

Clawhammer did Devo's 1st record. and Japancakes did MBV's _Loveless_ recently.

well to be fair, he's got more than one great song. but that one is outstanding.

First time i'd seen them...fun stuff, but irish jig music isn't totally my thing. i respect the band and their talents, though. The Pogues: http://www.prefixmag.com/photos/pogues-tom...e-blues-boston/

i'm not sure how closely you've followed Oldham's career, but it's pretty clear to me that self-mockery isn't among his objectives. he does have a different outlook from most, however.

close. btw, here are my top 5 favorite GBV records, in order: alien lanes propeller bee thousand under the bushes, under the stars isolation drills their singles from ~'93 to '96 were also unstoppable.

just because he's not a technically accurate opera singer doesn't mean some people can't appreciate his art. as david berman once said "All my favorite singers couldn't sing." i haven't seen Will since the _Viva Last Blues_ tour, and i am looking forward to seeing him again.

i've seen the Cure three times (Kiss Mex3 tour; Disintegration tour; last year) and they were remarkable each time. not loads of stage energy, but they had a great set list each time and played a lot of stuff really well.

Daryl Hall has a giant head.
