mountain bed, in the recently closed thread you said that the 2/13/70 Dark Star was not your favorite. Do you have a favorite?

Good pre-war thriller ...

Tanya Donelly's been putting out a batch of new songs every couple of weeks through bandcamp. The second set came out yesterday and they are quite good.

So sorry for your loss.

That's funny - that is the exact opposite of my timeline of interest in them. I started paying attention to them in '79, became pretty obsessed with them around '81, and saw them for the last time in '86.

Ha! Yes, it was ...

Years ago a friend of mine said to me "you should listen to the Feelies because you look like you could be one of them." He wasn't totally wrong ...

Billy Bragg - Levi Stubb's Tears

And as young as Slint were, Brian McMahan and Britt Walford had already been in the amazing Squirrel Bait. I remember reading an article that said Squirrel Bait broke up when two of the guys went of to college and that's when it struck me how young they were.

Pavement - Unseen Power of the Picket Fence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DvVYwXqFEE

Really liked this. It is a post apocalyptic novel but somehow brings a little more humanity to it than something like The Road.

Wow - awesome. In 1990 I lived about a block from the Middle East but had never heard of Uncle Tupelo.

Indirectly thaat is the show that got me into the Dead. My family was on Cape Cod that August and I got really sick so I lay in bed for a few days listening to the radio. Some local radio station kept playing ads for the show and also played a lot of Dead songs and it made me realize that I liked them. Didn't see the band until the next year though ...

I haven't hear Kozelek's new record yet but saw this quote on Pitchfork as part of their review: They also tease out and amplify his sharp sense of humor, which can often get lost in his deadpan delivery. “I can play like Fripp or Johnny Marr, and I can play circles ‘round Jay Farrar,” he boasts or possibly just daydreams on “Livingstone Bramble”, and when he claims, “I hate Nels Cline,” Carney inserts some scribbles and skreeks behind him, suggesting a very sly parody of Wilco’s artsy noise. It’s one of the album’s best moments-- and also its funniest.

Who Is It? - Talking Heads What Do I Get? - Buzzcocks Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’? - Rolling Stones Do You Believe in Rapture? - Sonic Youth Where is My Mind? - Pixies

As much as I love 69 Love Songs, this may be my favorite Magnetic Fields album.

Tanya Donelly's got some great new music out ...

Very positive review in Pitchfork today: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18312-grant-hart-the-argument/

I wonder how Aaron Rodgers is feeling about the whole thing: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2013/07/23/aaron-rodgers-bet-a-years-salary-that-ryan-braun-was-clean/

Future Bible Heroes

Buffalo Tom and the Lemonheads at a free outdoor show in Boston (weather permitting - heavy thunderstorms are predicted right about the time BT is scheduled to play.)

You know that was four years ago, right? (But what is weird is that I saw it posted somewhere else today as well.)
