I can see that book turning people off. It's profoundly dark and somber. I think it's brilliant too.

I dunno. He's Opening for Elvis Perkins in a really small little venue here. Honestly, I'll be just as happy to see him solo if he has no accompaniment.

I skipped Lethem's " You don't Love Me Yet" for the same reasons. But I am A big fan, and I still love "Gun W/ Occasional Music" along w/ F.O.S. and M.B. I Just ordered Chronic City yesterday based on Good Ol' Neon's impressions. Fingers crossed.

Seeing him tonight...

I really recall liking that one quite a bit. Now, I'm right there with you on this one. I can't follow Eggers at all. I think one of the worst books I've read, and probably the last bad read I forced my way through out of pure stubbornness was Stephen Kings "From a Buick 8".

Nope. When those models were initially released they were Fenders top of the line solidbodies. As with most Fenders sold today the primary characteristics of the originals is still found on the current incarnations. Between the two models, it's not a question of quality, it's that they go in different directions tonally. And that's achieved primarily by the tone circuit and their respective pickups. I haven't played either model in ages. I know their are subtle spec. differences between the two, a quick wiki search ought to get you any additional info you need there. These are also refe

Congrats! You'll have great fun playing with that thing. They are great guitars. I'm hoping to run across a Starfire someday of around the same vintage that appeals to me.

I've got Youtube blocked here at work, so lemmie guess. The guy from Grizzly Bear/ Dept of Eagles plays one of those. What year and model is that , Guild Granada? 50's.

Caught these cats again Tuesday evening (10/20). Which is probably the 7th or 8th time since first seeing them open for MMJ back in 03-04. They are getting seriously good as a live act. Even though I've always enjoyed their shows there's something that, possibly intangible and quite hard to put a finger on, is beginning to present itself as a bit of magic that only well seasoned road dogs can conjure up. They are sumthin special. How in the world they get through a set, on a small stage, without braining one another with their pegheads I'll never understand.

I unexpectedly found and bought an old used vinyl copy of that about three weeks ago, half expecting that it wouldn't have aged very well, ( I hadn't listened to it in years). It's still pretty great. NP:

I think this is Russo's weakest novel to date. Not bad by any means, I just didn't feel it was that compelling. Although the main character possesses many of the archetypical traits of a Russo protagonist, I didn't find him terribly engaging and often found his apathy annoying. Next....

Oh man. I am not a big fan of her's.

Biz Markie is cool. Factual. Now Spinning: "Spring Again".

White noise from a factory work environ... Tom Waits on shuffle, keeping the boss at bay. The nagging voice in the back of my head that says I want Rogan Josh for dinner this evening.

I've been on a total Jimmy Smith bender for months now. Speaking of....NP:

Yes. Oh Yes.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Love it. Makes me wanna drink cheap beer and break stuff. NP

This just gets better and better. A must have 09 release.

That's next in my que. NR: Terrific read.

Sorry I'm late getting back to this. It's out there. PM if I can assist. Dig that cover! NP: Digging these lots EDIT: First listen at full volume. This is great. May be better than their last, which I loved BTW. Aggressive, layered and rich.
