Dondante

actually the fixer isn't really much of an indication of what the new album is gonna sound like from what i've heard of the tracks. i lot of tunes on it have a bit of an into the wild feel to them, then there are the typical pj rockers and a punk track called supersonic. from what i've learned about backspacer so far, my expectations are extremely high for this one. i think it might be the best since no code. check this video out, it's a short film about the making of backspacer, it'll definitely make you want to buy the album.

no need to apologize, it's a matter of opinion really. riot act has always caught the most heat from pj fans for being their weakest album. i'm a huge pj fan and i just happen to disagree. i thought self-titled was their weakest release. personally, i think all the albums except the last one were great. i think binural and riot act had great songs that suffered from a weird production style. i don't know much about producing music, so i don't really know what's going on with them, but they both kinda sound like they were recorded in someones garage. eddie's vocals seem like they were intention

i really hope you're right about bruce that would be awesome. friday and saturday are the two shows i'm going to as well. now all i need to do is score some giants tickets, cause they are coming to whoop up on the birdies the day after halloween. i'm diggin what i've heard from the new album. it sounds like they're cooking up a little something for everyone. the fixer is probably the weakest from what i've heard, but it's so damn catchy i can't ever seem to get it out of my head. so that just confuses me, anyway, i think backspacer is gonna be something special. personally i was disappointed

i'm going to see them in philly tommorrow night. i can't wait, it will be my first sonic youth show. i like the eternal a lot, so i don't mind them playing a lot of those songs, i just hope the set is descent in length. i heard they've been playing for about an hour and a half? i guess that's pretty normal for most concerts, but i've been spoiled by bands that like to play 2 and a half to 3 hour shows. i wanna hear some pattern recognition........ anyone know who the opener will be?

i would love for the taste of evil urges to be washed out of my mouth as well. that was terrible for mmj standards, although it actually wasn't that bad of an album..........i don't know how you can say they've been going downhill since at dawn though. at dawn is their masterpiece in my opinion as well, but they change it up on every release. i think it still moves and z are just as good for what they were trying to accomplish. evil urges, not so much....

it's been a great decade of music in my opinion, hard to narrow it down, some of my favorites... my morning jacket - at dawn, it still moves, z wilco - yankee hotel foxtrot, a ghost is born neko case - furnace room lullaby, blacklisted, fox confessor brings the flood, middle cyclone bright eyes - lifted or the story is the soil keep your ear to the ground, i'm wide awake it's morning radiohead - hail to the thief, in rainbows broken social scene - you forgot it in people, bss pearl jam - riot act bob dylan - love and theft, modern times flaming lips - yoshimi battles the pink robots m. ward

so they played hoodoo voodoo? that wasn't on any of the sets listed in this thread for the show....did they play anything else we're missing?

thanks for posting, i hope this is true. i almost forgot about this, they've been talking about it for so long but no news has been mentioned in about a year. this should be great..........i see the release date is scheduled for sep. 22nd. what a great day that will be, monsters of folk and pearl jam.

i'd love to hear it. i can't promise a well written review as that's not really my thing, but i will definitely give you some feedback at least. what's your bands name? i didn't see your myspace link........can i get a download? (nevermind, i see the myspace link, i guess i wasn't logged in when i read the post) a download would still be nice though........

so did you get the dvd? what do you think? daughter, half full and evolution are especially kick ass on the showbox dvd.

i added some side projects and such to give it a proper number of tracks 1. misunderstood - being there 2. shot in the arm - summerteeth 3. shouldn't be ashamed - am 4. country disappeared - (the album) 5. remember the mountain bed - mermaid II 6. poor places - yankee hotel foxtrot 7. impossible germany - sky blue sky 8. company in my back - a ghost is born 9. hoodoo voodoo - mermaid I 10. blasting fonda - misc. 11. black eye - uncle tupelo 12. wreckroom - loose fur

not worth getting up close in my opinion. if your solo i would just try and move your way up as close as you can before the show. in order to get a nice spot you'll have to hang out there all day and claim an area. you'll miss a lot of good music, not to mention getting drinks/going to the bathroom will be a major pain. your best bet is to just take what you can and not sacrifice any other music for a good wilco spot. just go to a show on the tour if you want to see them up close.

for anyone interested the bonnaroo schedule is up. looks like wilco will be playing 6-8 on the main stage saturday evening.

way better than the picture in a frame dvd. one of my favorites. it's got a nice set list and it's an actual show, which i prefer. the video quality isn't that good, but the sound is great. personally i think it's on par with live at the garden, although i'm a big riot act fan which has a lot of songs on this set. i would strongly recommend it.

sorry but dmb is most definitely a jam band. no doubt about that.

1. misunderstood 2. hell is chrome 3. summerteeth

i really disliked that article. the guy seems to be having an identity crisis. i love wilco and really don't care for dave matthews. not because i don't think dmb is talented, they are, but because they write some 'shoddy songs'(haha), and yeah, they do 20 minute versions of multiple songs at shows. that's not fun, it's boring. wilco does not do that, wilco jams out, but is not a jam band. i admit, one of the things that turns me off about dmb is the fans, but that wouldn't keep me from going to the shows if they were worth seeing 50 million times. they just aren't. this guy should stop stere

can someone please pm me a link to a site where i can download the album in mp3 files. i've been looking for it all day, and the only files i could get wouldn't play on my computer. i've already pre-ordered it, so no need to feel guilty, but listening to a stream over the internet is just a very enjoyable tease. now that i've heard it, it's gonna kill me not having it on a disc. no need to jump on my case for making such an outrageous request either, it is very clear that most of you already have this downloaded. thanks in advance........ while we're on the subject, i'll throw in my two cent

that's the exact same reaction i had. i have it too, and it gave me the creeps when i heard it. objectively i'd have to say the music is descent, but personally i can't stand it. i've only gave it a listen two or three times, and still haven't managed to sit through the whole thing in one sitting. maybe one day it will grab me, but as of now my opinion is that it is way overhyped, and i have no idea why.

i can't believe i forgot about thurston moore. he's one of my favorites.

right on. if anyone tries to act like they had great taste in music straight from the womb, they are full of shit. 99% of kids listen to terrible music. i'm 25 and i'd say that my my musical taste as it is now wasn't fully shaped until about 4 or 5 years ago. it was a gradual transition from mc hammer to pearl jam who is still my favorite band. everyone has music in their collection from when they were younger that they'd almost be embarrassed to admit they own, unless like you, they had that collection stolen.

some of my favorites in no order are jimi hendrix eric clapton m. ward robert randolph john frusciante mike mccready david gilmour stevie ray vaughn george harrison nels cline pete townshend (has he even been mentioned yet?)

i understand what you are saying, however, a top 100 albums of the 90's list with no mention of pearl jam is just wrong.

top 100 bands would be a cool idea, although, personally i don't think i like that many artists to the extent that i'd want to mention them on a favorites list. top 20 would probably work better. i guess we could create a top 100 out of our top 20's like was done for the albums. that's probably what you meant anyway. 100 songs wouldn't work for me, there are too many great songs to cram it into a list. that would take me like 10 years to figure out and by then it would be all wrong. a lot of songs also work better in the context of an album, and wouldn't hold up as well on their own. to use

wow! sorry you're not a fan. i was under the impression that we could create our own top 20 to be voted onto a list. didn't know it had to have your stamp of approval. like someone else mentioned, maybe i'm a little younger than you. i'm 25 and i grew up listening to blind melon. like i said though, that list wasn't very well thought out. i left a lot of stuff out and added some stuff just to fill up a top 100, it was just made up on a whim. however, let me correct you, i actually put 3 blind melon records on there, not 2. furthermore, if i could re-create my top 100, it would probably look a
