Lou Reed and Metallica - Lulu (legal stream) This is some weird shit.

Dave's Picks

What's not to like? He has great songs.

That's a great album. I recall getting it when it came out. I would never think of them as punk rock though.

It's a benefit show for the Inspiration Corporation.

Someone has the George documentary up on Youtube. I am surprised it has not been taken down. I don't have H.B.O. - so I hope it stays on there for a while. Those must be some of the last interviews Phil did before he was locked up. At some point towards the end, I noticed the film is flipped, so everything is right to left.

I don't think he was fired, but rather, he and the Boquist brothers had a falling out with Jay over money. Isn't his sister married to Jay?

There is also a new Kinks book out: You Really Got Me: The Story of The Kinks

Maybe that is what is new - that he was suppose to be doing the album with Billy Bragg.

Is this the first time he has mentioned he was suppose to be working with Billy Bragg?

Sometimes it works, sometimes I still have to open it as a new tab.

The Faces are going to do some US dates next year - but Rod is clearly out of the picture. I think I read an interview the other day with Dave Davies - he said he can't stand to be around Ray very long.

I think a few years ago some Elvis sweat and a cup of ice water were up for sale on Ebay.

I believe more than one person has offered. I also prefer Wilcobase instead of blogs, FM whatever the hell it is, and magazine websites.

I got the new album in the mail today. I noticed that there was a sticker on the front that stated "limited deluxe edition" - just like the new Wilco album. I don't recall seeing that before. I wonder how many are being made, and why they have made them limited. I noticed a typo in the cd booklet. The song Closer To Your Side is listed as Closer To Your.

It's not all young kids: If you look around, you will see images of WWII vets, union members, grandmothers, and all sorts of people there.

That is what I have been doing. Oddly enough, it worked fine this morning.

R. Dean Taylor (1970)

The Beatles fan photo blog I read has a lot of photos of George standing in the front door of that house. Amazing to think there was a time when you could just walk up there, knock on the door, and get your photo taken with a Beatle.

The house in Surrey? There is actually a blog out there dedicated to John's old house.

It's probably out there in FLAC somewhere. I saw a copy on Ebay for 150 bucks. That is insane.

It's from a Summeteeth bonus disc called "and sum aren't".

I believe they were put up by fans, the same as those put up at bt.etree.org. I don't know if the new sources or new SBDs that have been appearing get put up there or not.

There are a couple of threads about it - if you want to read them: More Mermaid Avenue Mermaid Avenue Deluxe Edition
