The Inside of Outside

Love minus zero

This would be wonderful.

And I love to hear him play "I Threw It All Away".

With the start of the season just a few days away, and the first of many trips down I-94 to Ann Arbor this Saturday, it is finally here . . . the long-awaited return of the mighty Michigan Wolverines to a winning season!!! I just checked Saturday's forecast and they are predicting highs in the upper 60's and abundent sunshine. I can't wait.

 

 

GO BLUE!!!! BEAT UCONN!!!!

Go Huskies!!!!!!

Wallflowers - I've been delivered:

I love this song!

I cannot exprss how fully I hated these two pieces of shit. Both pandered and both were self involved and self congratulatory. Everyone involved with the making of these two movies should be ashamed of themselves.

This is hilarious! Tell us how you really feel. Don't hold anything back.

for God's sake don't go see Salt then. I could have written that "plot" during half a decent dump.

I believe that is how it was written. It will be on the "special features" section of the DVD.

tagvestibule - you got talent with that there camera.

Are the Red Sox getting outsourced medical staff services from Queens?

The Red Sox handling of their injuries (particularly Ellsbury's) makes me wonder if they have their s@#t together as an organization.

A couple of clips are up on Youtube of their latest performance. I think it sounds okay.

 

 

I like their version of Debris, possibly my favorite Faces' tune. I do not have much music from the 60's/70's on my iPod, but Debris is there. I don't have much interest in acts from that era anymore, but this is a show I'd go see. And I don't think I'd miss Rod a bit. Might even like them better without him.

At the Barenaked Ladies show in Boston this past weekend, I was surprised to see BNL shirts for $35. That seemed high to me. Ben Kweller (opening act) shirts were $25. Got to think the Black-Eyed Peas shirts are going to be $35-45.

Another reason to love Wilco - $20-25 concert tees.

Man, what a beautiful beautiful place Fenway Park is.

The current ownership has done a wonderful service to baseball fans - improving and preserving Fenway Park. In the 1980s and 1990s, the park was a mess. Pigeons nesting in the rafters, ancient restrooms with disgusting troughs for urinals, cracked cement everywhere. The average fan back then was a 70 year old male with a cigar and few teeth (no knock against toothless folks, just what I remember). The place is beautiful now. And the fans - half or more are female, and the average age seems to be late 20s. My brother went to Fenway last week for the first time since the early 1980s and he described the place as one big bar.

The current ownership can drive the team into the ground, and I'll still be happy with them for what they have done to Fenway.

Now about the ticket prices.....

Joyful is right on.

I realize this band evokes differing feelings and opinions by VC members. Some folks love them, some hate them, and some liked them back in the day.

They put on a solid show last night, and they are hilarious. Last night was the only concert I have been to when I laughed more than I do at a Wilco or Jeff solo show. There were 3-4 stories that were priceless, including one about shredding a fingernail the night before at their CT show and needing to get an acrylic nail at a nail salon ("the folks there always look at you like, sure, just one today. and tomorrow you'll be back for the other 9 fingers."), one about meeting Mick Jagger, and one about a woman who came up to the singer in a restaurant before the show that night and said, "You are my birthday present." Evidently her husband had bought her BNL tickets for her birthday, but her statement implied something else all together. They created a quick ditty called "Canadian Gigilo" on the spot in honor of that story.

The Old Apartment (particularly the heavy guitar sound), Million $, and Brian Wilson can give me chills, and the songs from the new record match up well with the older stuff. A fun show.

A fine review. I will likely not see Aerosmith again, but it is great to hear that they can still bring it. And the oldies - One Way Street, Last Child, and Walking the Dog - dynamite stuff.

Just feels slimy to me. Underhanded, not upfront. A lack of transparency.

Mats first, REM second. First heard the Replacements in high school when Let it Be came out. A (very) alternative station played "Gary's Got a Boner". I thought, "There is a band who understands what it is like to be male and 15 years old." I was hooked.

I agree with an earlier post that after What's the Frequency, Kenneth? REM hasn't put out much that I have wanted to listen to.

Also played steel on Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces."

Great picture. Did not know about "I Fall to Pieces." A great player. Very sad.

Bellwether - "Turnstiles"

Bummer. Terrible year indeed for Big Star fans.

Just read the above posts and the review in Newsweek. First movie in ages that I want to go see immediately.

Cool song.

Just when we got fed up with pretending to like soccer, now we're going to pretend to like bicycle races.

That is hitting the nail on the head.

By reading this thread, I realized how much music from the 90s I still play. I guess it is not too soon for me to go back to that decade's music, as I've continued to listen to it regularly.

Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend and 100% Fun are excellent - "Sick of Myself" has a guitar riff that is so good that I cannot believe that it never hit it big. His live shows were noisy, loud, distorted...and fun.

Fastball had a good record there, too. Saw them open for someone (Whiskeytown, I think) and they were solid.

Cracker still kills me.

I liked Live's first 2 records as well, and their live shows at that time were incredibly energetic.

Ned's Atomic Dustbin was another 90s band I loved.

Jerry Remy is excellent...if you are a Sox fan. And I am, so he is excellent. He is a homer, but a good one. Now Suzyn Waldman, she is a horror show. And her Yankee colleague, John Sterling, who says, "All the way to the wall" in a sing-song voice and "Back to back to back, belly to belly to belly" and the ridiculous call when Teixeira hits a home run - he is the absolute worst. And not because I am a Sox fan.

Some solo gems in the setlist - hell, they are all gems. Love to see Via Chicago, Be Not So Fearful, New Madrid, and Simple Twist of Fate.
