I hadn't listened to this in a little while but I put in on today and I still really like it.

Grant Hart in house fire Musician Grant Hart suffers house fire The Hüsker Dü veteran is out of the hospital and sorting through the damage at his South St. Paul home. Twin Cities musician Grant Hart suffered a two-room fire at his home in South St. Paul and was temporarily hospitalized Wednesday, but friends say the Hüsker Dü veteran is doing alright now and sorting through the damage. The South Metro Fire Department responded to an emergency call at the house at 2:43 p.m. and arrived to find fire and smoke coming out of a window. Friends said Hart, 49, is happy that his two cats surv

CBGB Lives - as an overpriced slice of pizza. From Gothamist: Two Boots (the one at 74 Bleecker Street) is introducing a "CBGB (OMFUG)" pizza, to be unveiled this Friday by Lenny Kaye, best known for being a part of the Patti Smith Group. What toppings go with dark clubs, dirty bathrooms, and the smell of stale beer? They're going with chicken, broccoli, garlic and basil pesto. Why? Because the first letter in each ingredient spell out CBGB. And it's time to loosen those pursestrings nostalgic punks: one slice will cost you $3.75. This is all just kind of... depressing.

This is not meant to sound as snarky as it might sound, but are you saying you saw it again?

I hadn't seen this movie in a long time but it's still great.

I love WL/WH and the Velvets might be the only one who do it for me. I also love all four of the Feelies albums but I can appreciate your point. Talking Heads come pretty close, if it wasn't for True Stories. That might be an interesting related thread - bands who put out one stinker of an album that otherwise mars their legacy.

They stayed on Sanchez long enough to show him wiping a booger on Mark Brunell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHtttx6P7kg&feature=player_embedded

New album out on March 29 Though it's been plugging along for a couple of years now, the Feelies reunion is finally hitting jangle pop fans full force. In 2008, when the reunited band got together to play their first gigs in 16 years, singer Glenn Mercer hinted that the group might record some new material but the Feelies were fairly mum about the project until just recently. Last November a Facebook update from the act's publicist confirmed that the group had just completed recording tracks at a Hoboken, NJ studio. It turns out that those songs will now make up the Feelies new album Here

I'd agree with you on Vernon Wells, but it was no secret that the Angels were going to go after both Carl Crawford and Adrian Beltre.

Nice write-up and pics. I was bummed when I learned I was going to be out of town for this show. I like Camper's early stuff but I also really like Key Lime Pie.

I know I'm really late to the party on this but I picked it up over the weekend and really like it. I think 40 Days Dream is my favorite song on it.

You'll be the guy with the camera?

I had no idea what he meant nor did I know what he was talking about. But I do now on both counts. And, back on topic, even though I am not going to bid on her car I am looking forward to seeing Neko in Boston in a few weeks.

Agreed. The whole event had a sort of pep rally feel to it which was a little weird, but I thought the speech was strong.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but I think High Heat's comment was that maybe Jack Frost (the name Bob Dylan used when he produced Love and Theft, Modern Times, and other of his own albums) would produce Jakob Dylan's next album ...

"I wouldn't blame our political rhetoric any more than I would blame heavy metal music for Columbine. And by the way, that is coming from someone who truly hates our political environment." -- Jon Stewart I thought his opening last night was pretty good.

Mets fan? Hirschbeck fan?

I've been listening to a lot of Huskers (and Grant and Bob solo) recently. As I mentioned in the NP thread, I got the new bio of Husker Du and read it over the holidays. I thought it was decent. Grant and Greg were interviewed extensively for it but Bob is writing his own book so he wouldn't be interviewed for this one. I appreciate that the author focused on the music and not the drugs and sex. The book is much more focused on the early days and pays pretty short shrift to the last couple of albums.

I got the new bio of the Huskers over the holiday so I've been listening to them a lot. This remains my favorite.
