Mr. Heartbreak

Arriving at work after your divorce hearing and getting a card from your co-workers saying things like "A new adventure is right around the corner" and "Make a new start in the New Year."

On Some Faraway Beach - Brian Eno Given the chance I'll die like a baby On some faraway beach When the season's over. Unlikely I'll be remembered As the tide brushes sand in my eyes I'll drift away. Cast up on a plateau With only one memory A single syllable Oh lie low lie low.

Col. Potter died. http://www.nytimes.c...dies-at-96.html

Bruce Cockburn: Smiling girl directing traffic flow .45 strapped over cotton print dress Marimba-brown and graceful limbs Give me a moment of loneliness or Like a pearl in sea of liquid jade His ship comes shining Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns His ship comes shining or Pachinko jingle and space torpedo beams Comic book violence and escaping steam Grey suited business men pissing against the wall -- Cut to crumbling guardrail, slow motion car fall

I think it says more about the traffic in this forum lately than it does about viachicagoians interest in the blues. I would have commented on this thread if I had seen it before today. I'm a huge fan of this stuff, and have just about all the Howlin' Wolf official material, as well as a couple of "fan club" recordings. He was a monster on guitar. It was a very aggressive sound, especially for that time period.

New Zealand has bands?

Even as a serious Deadhead, I'm not sure I could come up with 60 or 70, but I could sure come up with a bunch: Sugar Magnolia, Truckin', Stella Blue, Box Of Rain, Ripple, Brokedown Palace, Terrapin Station, Cassidy, West LA Fadeaway, Throwin' Stones, Touch Of Grey, Scarlet Begonias, Fire On The Mountain, Chinacat Sunflower, Jack Straw...hmm, come to think of it, I bet I could come up with 70 if I looked at the entire catalog.

They will probably get nominated for "Best Cover Art By An Independent Label Recently Formed By An Indie Rock Group."

Hmm, so far it's ... 1) Wilco 2) The Band 3) The Grateful Dead Not exactly 673

I will pile on. I have seen them every tour in FL since 1999, sometimes multiple shows on the same tour - 2002 comes to mind - and this year I went all the way to Atlanta to catch them. Can't afford to do that again any time soon, but I wanted to hear some of the new record live. For the record, I would pay for another show if they tour The Whole Love through FL, but I don't think I would travel out of state again....It's just too damn expensive.

I am really interested in this Some Girls rerelease. People panned the Exile release, though, so I may wait until I see some more reviews....

Anyone can comb through a band's catalog and pull out the most cheeseball lines to make a point. Find the lines anywhere in SBS that measure up to the staggering beauty of Via Chicago - this board was named after it for a reason - Misunderstood, Sunken Treasure, She's a Jar, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, or any of a dozen other songs on the other albums... They don't exist. There are a few well-written lines scattered throughout SBS, but as bleedorange has already said,

Again, bleedorange has it exactly right. Even the live version of Impossible Germany, for me, is just waiting for the inane minimalist lyrics to be over so we can all "enjoy" the mighty Nels wankfest. I almost used it for a piss break in Atlanta. By the way, I have stated multiple times here that I consider Jeff to be one of America's greatest songwriters (or words to that effect). So it was doubly disappointing for me, as a writer, to hear lyrics like "I remember my mother’s sister’s husband’s brother" or "I do the dishes, I mow the lawn" (I write my grocery list, I rub one out...). Compare t

Well, it sounds like a serious post to me. If I'm being had, I don't really care. It doesn't cost me any money to post a sincere reply. Assuming it's serious, I think it's along the lines of "she has changed: we used to have fun together. Now she's gone and become a born-again, and she's even getting in my face about getting high!" My advice would be, suck it up, put down the pipe, and attend a few services at the church. Worst case scenario is you end up getting some nookie for being a standup guy.

In all seriousness, I just got divorced, and my suggestion would be to go through mediation. A mediation attorney is a neutral party who can still give each of you some advice on how to do things amicably. If things turn nasty, and the discussions break down, both parties have the option of going out and getting individual attorneys and bringing them back to the table. My wife and I did it that way, and it went very smoothly. It helped that we didn't have major assets to contest and didn't disagree on anything, but the mediation attorney also helped in preparing all the paperwork properly, s

FWIW, at least one other person on here agrees with bleedorange on the SBS analysis.

I forgot to post the words "piss break" under the Peter Criss video.

Kramer's drum solo when I saw them was basically just a little break for the rest of the band. It wasn't long enough for me to even think about including it on the set list. At least, it didn't disrupt the show for me. Joe Perry's lengthy guitar solo with that stupid video game was more of a momentum-killer. However, I could see the value of giving Kramer a break...

Execrable.

I really hate that Summer of '69 song, but Cuts Like A Knife isn't too bad.

If it's like what I saw last year, it's not that long...not even long enough for a piss break.

I agree with this. I'm still stunned to see anyone place ST below #3 in their rankings.
