Getting back to the Feelies, I have always liked the transition from Slipping (into Something) to When Company Comes (on the Good Earth).

China Cat -> I Know You Rider from Europe 72

Retired 19 straight batters at one point ...

Pitcher Tim Wakefield received a cortisone shot in his back and will not be on the team's ALDS roster, which was unveiled today.

Good one, Moonshot Manny.

All that and expect to smile more than you do at a standard rock show. (And if you go see them again in six months, expect to see the same show again.)

Me too! I was in the third row ...

Not sure how I got through being an English major without ever hearing about his book.

I think the original comment (about Talking Heads) was about LCD Soundsystem ...

Saw the show in Boston (actually Somerville) a week or so ago, and it was great. I wish they had played more together, but I'm not really complaining.

I saw it in the theater and then went back and saw it in the theater a second time. Can't remember the last time I did that ...

Happy Birthday!! (And thanks for many B&Ps back when people did that sort of thing ...)

The Globe today said that it was a get-away game for the A's, but they have the day off tomorrow ...

Interesting - I actually think Wake Up is one of the most amazing openers ever.

That heat is coming here (Boston) today. It's supposed to be in the 90s today ...

Just bought it but won't get to listen to it until tonight ...

Love them Feelies. One of my favorite and weird Feelies moments was when they were on Letterman years ago. They didn't have the whole band; they had Glenn Mercer and Bill Million playing guitars and singing with Letterman's band but they also had Dave Weckerman playing tambourine. After they played, Letterman came over and said (and I am paraphrasign here) "if things get tough in the world of the Feelies and you need to have some layoffs, I think I know where to start" and he nodded over at Weckerman. And then it was incredibly awkward for everyone. Does anyone have Mercer's solo album

That was great!

There are two songs on Dinosaur Jr.'s You're Living All Over Me (I think Kracked followed by Sludgefeast). On vinyl there is this squall of feedback that connects the two, and it was removed on the first CD version. I'm not sure it made it to the reissues.

They are available on Amazon if you are willing to pay. Crazy Rhythms is between $29 and $69.

Good news: The Red Sox didn't lose any ground yesterday Bad news: The Yankees have played .657 ball since May 29. That's pretty sick ...

Exactly - it's a nice combination of the first two. My favorrite? I don't know. The first three are all great and it sort of depends on what I am in the mood for.

The Good Earth is a little more acoustic and lush when compared to the first one (Crazy Rhythms) which is sort of jittery and electric.
