I like the Wild Flag album but I've been on something of a Sleater-Kinney binge recently. I hadn't lsitened to any of their stuff in a while and sort of forgot how much I liked it.

LouieB: got any sources on that? It surprised me so I poked around some and even found her original 1978 New Yorker review which is pretty positive. A different reviewer for the Nww Yorker (Penelope Gilliatt) didn't like it much but Kael seems to be a fan. She is quoted in other articles as calling it "the most beautiful rock movie ever."

Hadn't listened to Sleater Kinney in a while but I'm going through them all right now.

Metal Machine Music - The Endurance Test
Oil Can Boyd replied to IATTBYB's topic in Someone Else's Song
I'm a big fan of Lou but this doesn't do it for me. There is just too little time and too much good music that I own and don't listen to for me to spend an hour listening to that. -
I'm another person who has been playing it recently after putting it aside for a while. It is holding up well for me.

Agreed. I like the stuff on the third disc except for that tune.

Finished this last night and thought it was great. (It also made me realize how many books I read that are set in NYC ...) Next up is this. It's one of the few books in the 33 1/3 series that is a novel.

I was just in the Harvard Book Store looking at a copy of Rick Moody's new book. It's a colleciton of essays about music and includes a piece on Wilco. While I was flipping through the book trying to decide whether to buy it, Reservations came on. I bought the book ...

I might be there. But I also might be at the Big Apple Circus with my daughter. (I know they are not at the same time but I'm probably not up for doing both ...)

I remember seeing Moyer pitch during his short stint with the Red Sox (1996 maybe?) and thinking he was a decent, end of the rotation guy who probably wouldn't be around much longer. I guess that is why I'm not a baseball scout.

What was/is your favorite decade for music?
Oil Can Boyd replied to remphish1's topic in Someone Else's Song
What Ghost said and therefore for me it is the 1980s. I started the decade by listening only to the Dead but by 1985 and for the next five years I was listening to (and importantly, going to see) REM, Talking Heads, Husker Du, the Feelies, Sonic Youth, Replacements, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Throwing Muses, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Galaxie 500, etc. -
