quarter23cd

I've heard lots of good things about this show...I'll have to give it a whirl. Does the show on etree by any chance include the interview part of the show?

Mmmmmm...another commercials thread. I have the sudden urge to buy a Volkswagon and drive it over to Wendy's for a Spicy Chicken combo.

More importantly, if we can all more or less agree that rap has been on a downslide since at least 97 (and rock undoubtedly sometime before that), the last decade of popular music is rather depressing to think about.

I'd go with 88-92. Is this a poll?

Good to see you've had a change of heart.

Wait. Did you just second my digital-slap?!

Happy birfday!

Since moving back to Columbus, I'm reminded how unflinchingly optimistic people here are about OSU football. I was talking with some co-workers recently and they seem to have far higher expectations than I do for this season. With zero experience virtually anywhere on the offense, I'm preparing myself for an offense so maddeningly conservative that they might as well call for punts on first down. It probably won't be that bad, but still I'm thinking the theme for this year is: Lets go defense!!!!

Noted. (still not sure I was deserving of the digital slap, but eh, whatever) I can understand if you're defensive about lumping the GD in with the current crop of jambands, and yet I'm not sure where else you'd lump them (if, indeed, lumping is what one was looking to do...which I'm not...but, eh, nevermind). I was really just joking around.

Sound Tribe? Jimmy Herring does indeed play a fine geetar. I hadn't heard him w/ WSP until I heard a recording of this year's Bonnaroo. Very good, but definitely gives them a different feel. I had actually heard some Panic fans complain about him and I thought they must be insane cuz I knew the guy is ridiculously good. After listening, I guess I can agree that it sounds like a different band now than when Mikey was around (his style was unique, to say the least)...but he's been gone a while now and Jimmy is a nice addition.

That sounds funny. I've not really followed SCI. They came to prominence during that period of time in which I'd disavowed most of the jamband scene. I've heard them play enough to appreciate their chops, but don't really have a strong connection to the music. I'm just here for the contact high.

I missed this, but would definitely like to hear a recording if one pops up...

I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that WSP had begun to reach a respectable maturity. They've never been as goofy and easily-mocked as some of the others. (or maybe I'm just saying that because I'm defensive that Panic circa '96 or so still arguably holds the #1 spot for the most amazing concert I've ever had the pleasure to see in person) I never saw SCI, but I will venture over to peek at the thread you speak of.

You kids and your slang these days! I don't know what any of that means, but I hope you had fun!

Wow, a Cheese thread. And I thought we were pushing it with all the Grateful Dead threads around here lately! So how was it? I've never really been into SCI, but I'd imagine the show was a pretty big deal, what with it being the last one and all. The real question now is with Phish gone and now Cheese, who is going to take over the role of punching bag for the whole scene??

I'm still one day older than you. Happy birfday!

Thanks, guys.

This is awesome. What's weirder, I usually can't access YouTube at work but today I can. I foresee zero work being done today. Happy Friday, everybody.

Close. Take Glenn and Nels and put them with anybody...but, yeah, throw in Phil and...umm...maybe Thurdton Moore? I dunno. Yeah, that'll work.

Giving it a listen on his myspace page right now. Doesn't look like Theologians is there, but Such a Night and Fortunate Son are sounding kind of good in a I-feel-like-laying-down-and-taking-a-nap-in-the-sand-by-the-ocean kind of way...which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. Definitely can see the Jack Johnson references.

12 years already. That's hard to believe. I was really only a casual fan at the time. One GD show under my belt, a handful of cds and maybe one or two live tapes a friend had given me. I remember driving that night that Jerry died...I was stopped at a stoplight with my windows down and Brokedown Palace was playing on my stereo. There was a girl sitting on the sidewalk with her head down, and she heard the music coming from my car and she looked up and smiled at me, with tears running down her face. Such a simple little moment, but for some reason its one of those moments that is frozen i

Umm. Well, most of my sports-celebrity run-ins aren't terribly impressive b/c they happened in college where its not too surprising to run into them: Eddie George, Joey Galloway, Orlando Pace, Terry Glenn, etc. Most of those I think were in classrooms (which, in itself, might be surprising to some)...nothing more exciting to tell than Galloway asking to borrow my roommate's notes in Psych class. Um, I think I stood in line at Starbucks once behind the dreadlocked violin-dude from the Dave Mathhews Band. Saw Jimmy Buffett at a restaurant in Annapolis, MD. There might be more, but I can

I've never understood the need to think so hard about a band's legacy and their "place in history"--especially one that is still active. When people ask how Wilco will be remembered in 20 years, I think about most people I know and I think the answer is "Not at all. Except by me." Which is really the only thing that matters to me. If I'm still digging the music years down the line, that's fantastic. But I can't think of anything more pointless than worrying about whether other people think that the music I like is important.
