Ghost of Electricity

obviously she is heavily indebted to her predecessors, but it's not the 70's or 80's, it's the 21st century, and we need a broader global village perspective. religion doesn't mean just the christian right, it can extend to mean muslims, jews, etc. : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-18073961 and i'm not even considering her as a musician or a rock star. I'm considering the media to be her medium. the 21st century media of the internet as well as the traditional mass media. she plays them all like an instrument.

for example, the rights to practice religion, the right to freedom of expression, and where to draw the line when these come into conflict.

She's got the world's attention and she provokes serious debate.

I suppose I'm feeling contemplative and melancholy today: How to Fight Loneliness Hell is Chrome My Darling Cars Can't Escape Venus Stop The Train Jesus, Etc. She's a Jar One Sunday Morning Far Far away The Lonely 1

I'm bored. I'm greedy. I want one.

google "askew"

There's your song title right there

so tell us about her. how does she play? how does she sound? what about that trem unit? I'm not crazy about the blue either, but neither would i refuse one if it fell outta the sky.

Wow, look at this! VC shows signs of life again. I feel like i should say something inflamatory just to keep it going.

Did they lay out some parameters that I missed? I agree there are lots of "lesser known" guitarists getting some props there (frith, quine, toure, Verlaine/Lloyd, Ribot) and while that is undoubtedly nice, any lists that omits Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, and George Harrison simply can not be taken seriously. Also, they did not touch any country, blues or bluegrass guitarists and as they did not call it "100 best rock guitarists," it's just silly. edit to add: oops, i guess it helps to read the intro.

that was certainly dumb.

ouch.

This is what the liner notes from the box set claim, as well as say that lou was in a dispute with his label and owed them one record under their contract. pissed with them, he gave them metal machine music and moved on to what he really wanted to do next. i have the box set and have listened to the excerpt there but nothing more.

The new project I'm involved in, Frank's Hard Drive: http://www.reverbnation.com/franksharddrive http://www.facebook.com/franksharddrive/app_2405167945

wish i had something to contribute to this thread. i used to have a (early 70s probably) solid state Novanex (Dutch company). Does that count?

gone are the hotcake and prunes n' custard. which one is the torn's peaker and does the oohlala verson differ from the devi ever?

technically, if the quality of X exceeds even people's high regard for it, it can be underrated. Just sayin'.

reverse the last two and you're more or less in the same boat as me.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're not left wing then you are an extremist.

well, as one band slowly wraps up its business (http://www.facebook..../app_2405167945) another one begins theirs (http://www.facebook....franksharddrive) There are new songs up for both. I guess I'm pretty lucky to be living in a place with such a vibrant scene that it's so easy to start up a new project. With Frank's Hard Drive (the new one) I'm doing guitar and a wee bit of lap steel, and though I'm not singing I do have a strong say in the songwriting.

For me it's the 90's but this probably has more to do with me than the music itself. alas, i am human and cannot and will not seperate the music itself from my experience of it.

88 isn't bad. I'll differ with some of the sentiments above and say that rather than being sad about his passsing, we should be celebrating his life abd contribution to music. Thanks, Mr. Skruggs, rest in peace. 88 isn't bad.

oops. yes i knew that but accidentally omitted the word "not." i don't rate said record either, but think it's bad karma to give someone extra credit for negativity. anyway, A.M. is fantastic.
