RIP Chris Feinstein aka Spacewolf of the Cardinals
twigboyjoe replied to cgoodwin22's topic in Someone Else's Song
Just seen this, sad news RIP Spacewolf. x -
Yep, brilliant in it's economy! Pure feel over everything else...reckon Southern Man is his finest though'.

I started writing a blog a coupla months back, using it as a home for mixtapes, etc. and have been randomly blogging my thoughts on the last decade. It's pretty ramshackle and random at the moment but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts... http://twigboyjoe.blogspot.com Ta!

I've only had a brief scour through this thread in the short time I have, and agree with a number of choices. Wilco, obviously, MMJ / Jim James, Conor Oberst / Bright Eyes, Ryan Adams all immediately spring to mind, but has anyone mentioned Super Furry Animals / Gruff Rhys? Surely contenders?!

As ever, I return from my sabbatical (that's what I like to call these break from VC - usually coinciding with a shitload of work!) to somethingw orth checking out. I love this place! Thought she was great on Jools Holland a few weeks / months back too. Admittedly, she didn't look all that bad either which mighta helped!

Not quite as good as Wilco last week but still pretty damn shit hot! Had the feel of an 'open mic' at times which should've been nicer than it was but venue kinda swamped it a bit. Didn't see Wilco at Troxy so don't know what folk thought then but personally I wasn't that fussed on it as a venue last night. Drummer (forget his name, forgive me) did a good job when called upon and sang a lovely song - Just To Know What You've Been Dreaming - whih was a pleasant surprise. Jim / Yim just blows me away every time I see him. Seen Conor on better form with MVB but still impressive and great to hea

Don't you musicians want us all to listen?
twigboyjoe replied to PopTodd's topic in Someone Else's Song
I hadn't seen but now I do, I'll do the honours, cheers Todd! -
Just noticed another glaring omission...if it counts as a live album, I count it... Jackson Browne - Running On Empty. One of my favourite albums ever!

A Thread for Musical Blasphemy you Truly Believe
twigboyjoe replied to hardwood floor's topic in Someone Else's Song
Sorry Todd, I'#m not a massive fan of any of them but Rollins rules over Rotten anyday! -
No Last Waltz????! No My Morning Jacket? Just the first two missing at a glance..

Countdown to Saturday has begun ...
twigboyjoe replied to Albert Tatlock's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
Ah, another Welshman! I remember that last year...was brilliant! More of the same tomorrow I hope...with a better result of course! -
Working through mine in typically random, rambling order over here... http://twigboyjoe.blogspot.com As it explains, it's in an attempt to form a cohesive list at the end of the year. So far, only one entry, next one due later...and so forth... Rest assured, I'm sure Wilco, Ryan Adams & Tom Waits will feature along the way

Best box sets/live albums/retrospectives of the decade
twigboyjoe replied to PopTodd's topic in Someone Else's Song
Second the Big Star shout - loving that! Also, Billy Bragg - Volume 1 & Volume 2. Slightly bending the rules because it was a re-release of all his albums (up to England, Half English and omiitting the Mermaid Avenue stuff) but... ...each album had a bonus disc of unreleased outtakes, demos, sessions, etc. And each box had a bonus DVD with Southbank show, live performances, etc. So, even if you take the re-released albums out of the package, you got 7 discs of unreleased stuff and a DVD in each volume! Plus, I'm bias where Billy Bragg is concerned -
Feeling a bit green around the gills this morning but well worth it, brilliant stuff!!

Yep, I concur with all thoughts here! I think there's always gigs to do it the old way (in London there are anyway) but most high profile gigs go the 'new way'... I think our attitudes change over time. If I ain't playing or it's not a day off next day, it has to be new way I'm afraid!
