Ghost of Electricity

usually i'm against reunions, but when i heard these guys were back together for a few shows last year and there was talk of recording, i was obliged to make an exception. Anyone heard further rumors about this?

Crazy Rhythms is, as the name implies, laced with over-caffeinated slightly socially dysfunctional rhythms, the Good Earth brought them into more ethereal territory and the Only Life and Time For a Witness are more straight up rock, but no less good. Pick them all up if you can find them. P.M. me if you can't. Also worth checking out is the Yung Wu side project stuff, and i imagine the other feelies-related stuff must be good too, though i haven't heard it.

In my memory Letterman said "God forbid if the Feelies should go through cutbacks, you'd have to think that the tamborine player would be the first to go. God Forbid." And i thought he had said it after the commercial break. But alas, my memory is flawed.

here's my new girlfriend:

and here's some of my old ones:

Needless to say, I'm at the point in my life where I need some good old fashioned, eff you, whatever, I'm better off without you biatch tunes to play on the way to work every morning. I'm sick of the same old go-to's, and I don't like wallowing in stuff, so none of that "oh please come back stuff." I need awesome, stray-dog freedom style, releasing a young man back into the wild tunes.

I once awoke in a sweat from a dream from which i was forced by a third party to shoot my ex-girlfriend in the head. Said third party had a gun pointed at me, and well, it was me or her, and after what she did to me it wasn't going to be me. Never wrote a song about it, though. Not yet at least.

New West Records is streaming some and of course there's myspace...from what i've heard it's good stuff.

sorry if this is a repeat thread. I'm the new kid around here and haven't seen it.

this has got to be one of my most anticipated releases of 2009. Of course it was one of my most anticipated releases of 2008 too.

has to be Dylan's "Idiot Wind." After all, the man has been nominated for the Nobel Prize.

I like to listen to "Glad It's Over" but I turn it off before the 'sweet' part about getting back together.

 

Can I threadjack this into good "Yeah, screw you," breakup songs? It'll probably get moved. I'm off to a different forum.

"Idiot Wind" Bob Dylan

the big one this year for me was the feelies- and they reunited for a one-off show in central park

don't waste your time or money- this is by far the worst song wilco has ever recorded

living a long way from anywhere the boys are likely to ever come, a concert video would be a pretty inadequate substitue. like eating taco bell when you want mexican food. it's better than going hungry, but...

the new record, on the other hand i can't wait for.
