We recorded in a studio, but I did all the production and some of the engineering. Everything on the record is analog, from the instruments to the outboard gear. We didn't even use a computer in the mixing process.

Hey everyone...I've been a long time member, but not a frequent poster. I was hoping that some of you would check out my band, Mike June & The Dirty Doves, and our new record, Lovesick. We're just a simple rock and roll band, drawing on everything from country to motown. This album has taken me almost 3 years to get out, and has pretty much left me broke, so I hope you enjoy it. If you don't like one song, keep moving on, because every song is different (kinda like "Being There", I guess). If you do like it, tell a friend. If not, tell an enemy! Anyway, support original independent musi

Yeah, Kiss was more like a gang of superheroes than a band to me. I had a Kiss lunchbox in nursey school. I still have all of thier records on vinyl and I have a replica of Ace's thunderbolt guitar strap, signed by Ace himself!

Proud to say I struck him out in Legion ball in the summer of '93. He went 0-3. Do the Cubbies need a washed up, never-has-been lefty? Oh, thats right, they signed Ted Lilly.

Best. Line. Ever.

Stupidest question ever. 1) It would never happen. 2) Almost everybody on this site would buy anything with WILCO printed on it.

My band has the perfect remedy for the obligitory "Freebird" requests: We play the whole fuckin' thing loud and sloppy. Serves ya right for being horribly unoriginal, I say!

Read my mind. This is one of those lines only Dylan can sing. My band covers this song...its a mouth full. Here's another one I love just because of the way he sings it... "We want to put his ass in the stir/ We want to pin this triple mur-/ der on him/ he ain't no Gentleman Jim" And from the new album... (of the top of my head) "Gonna start an army/ show you sons of bitches recruiting all men(?)/ from all of the villages " The way he says "villages" is strictly Dylan only

CD baby has been great for me. The CDR is defintley on the artist in this case.

American Beauty and Workingman's are defintely the best studio records. I recently listened to AOXOMOXA for the first time in nearly a decade and absolutley fell in love with it. MARS HOTEL is really good as well. For live stuff you can't go wrong with LIVE DEAD or Europe '72, but I highly reccomend RECKONING, from their acoustic sets 1980. My favorite years for lives shows are 74, 77-81 (1980, Alaska, Black Peter>Not Fade Away!!!) and 89-92 (especially anything that Bruce Hornsby is playing on). And of course, you can never go wrong with anything by the Jerry Garcia Band or Garcia an

I know how you feel, but when the only thing you can really do is play music, you got to make some money somehow. Plus, it can't be all that bad when you look around the stage and see some really good musicians that have played in great bands and with other great artists. Brain played with Primus and has done a lot of work with Tom Waits, etc, etc...

I'm not really nostalgic for band reunions, but Izzy was the most talented member of Gn'R. I really dug his first solo record. "Shuffle it All" is an unknown classic. It was more of a roots rock record, very Stones-like. As for a GNR reunion....no thanks!

Correct you are. Most performance contracts have a 60 days/60 miles or 100 days/100 miles clause in them.
