Analogman

I think he is three years older than me. I just knew who he was. I did not know him personally.

I went to school with Rich. We rode the same school bus.

According to a post on Wilco's Facebook page:

I guess I should have finished watching the documentary yesterday. It looks like it got taken down.

29 is one of my favorite Ryan albums. I read a review of the new one somewhere that called it bland. I guess that is how I feel about it. I still don't think I will buy it. I didn't buy the last one either.

I forgot about the U2 BT site.

You can find a lot of U2 shows on Dime a Dozen. I think I have read that Flanagan book. There was a time when the Dunphy book was going for a lot of money.

I actually bought it in an airport. I also have the book Unforgettable Fire by Eamon Dunphy. I can't say I am interested in hearing a band cover U2. I can't imagine anyone but U2 playing U2 songs.

I've read a lot of what they are talking about in the U2 by U2 book.

That is pretty weird seeing Bono and The Edge playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

It seems alright to me so far. I have to say I was never disappointed in the Rattle & Hum album. I love that album. And I still think it is one of the best concert films of all time.

It's nice to see the anti-fracking sign there. That's a big issue here where I live.

Ticket Pre-Sales: How They Work

I figured they would do away with the paper version. It looks like they are selling a lot of limited edition merchandise also. Limiting the number of cds somewhat surprises me, but it could be they are not selling that many. I suppose what people really want is Mp3 and FLAC downloads.

I guess they were going for a "spoken word metal album". I sort of like some of the music, but those vocals just kill it.

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?
