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?

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.
