one of the best albums of the 90's that no one heard

Their facebook page now says:  "We are preparing to go live with the new album/website this evening. We will make an announcement as soon as its up."

....and of course the site crashed once it came up...I guess the weight of a gazillion eager fans trying to get to the long awaited album was just too much. It figures. Almost comical that it is now out there and no one can hear it. 

...and one more. This is live, raw Archers of Loaf. So good.

Saw it and liked it a lot. Not a huge fan of most of those bands either, but it was a great insight into the lives of musicians as fathers and providers for their families. Very touching flick.

I just punched myself in the face for not remembering this one. Good call. 

   Hope you're wearing a mouthpiece. Here's another one...

Incredible that no one mentioned UFO's Strangers In The Night. Michael Schenker is absolutely amazing on this record.

On the way out the door to see Cracker....and for free on top of that. 9th Street Summerfest in Columbia, Mo.

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks w/Nurses

Seeing them tonight @ The Blue Note here in Columbia, MO. Huge Malkmus/Pavement fan, so very stoked.

btw, Moss...here's the Boulder show... http://soundcloud.co...m-jicks-the-fox

For me it all started in June '90. Cicero's in St. Louis. Hooked and followed Jeff and Jay (and as it turned out later, John) ever since.

...one particular Sparklehorse song that gets to me now is this one. That's actually his mother you hear near the end of the song. So sad.

I'll also add Mark Linkous. Some of the Sparklehorse songs have quite a different impact on me now that he is gone.
