Riot Fest Day 3: Nick Lowe, B-52's, Guided By Voices, Bob Mould, Patti Smith, Raconteurs and Bikini Kill

I love baseball (season ticket holder for 30+ years), but the three-outcome game currently being played (homerun, strikeout or walk) is not as much fun to watch. Take the juice out of the damn ball -- it's gotten ridiculous. That's it, gotta go yell at some clouds and kids playing on my front lawn.

I listen to that one every Valentine's Day (or on very long car rides).

Nice. I'm late to their party. Just discovered them only about two months ago and have been listening to "Ghosts of the Great Highway" and "April" non-stop since then. How was the show? Full band?

I can speak from personal experience to that fact. My oldest son got an arm tattoo of Black Flag's logo while in college -- years before he had ever heard one of their songs!

So true. I'm tempted to purchase the set just so that I can finally actually hear the show I attended.

Dang, I was at the June 3, 1995 show at the Rosemont Horizon.

I own one Black Crowes record - "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion." I like it quite a bit (I'm a sucker for southern guitar rock), though others may have more informed recommendations.

Another from Pavement ("Stereo"): What about the voice of Geddy Lee How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy? (I know him and he does)

The Smithereens' "Wall of Sleep" references Bill Wyman.

The Dandy Warhols "Cool as Kim Deal."
