Well alright! "Tin Machine, Tin Machine, take me anywhere." I think this project (the first album anyway) was a little overlooked/underappreciated as it followed Bowie's widely panned Glass Spider tour, and the album that it was promoting. Looked at the time like Bowie'd run out of ideas and 'rocking out' was a calculated effort to get back some respect. Wrong. Never did pick up the second release, but the first one is excellent. You already mentioned Heaven's In Here, which is epic, and Under The God, Crack City, etc. all are brimming with wild bombast and a cool touch of danger. Thanks for t

Bullshit. I mean, you can hate 'You and I', fine. But I'm calling you out on that statement. If you're a music fan and have really "never had such a gut level hatred for a song before", well then I just don't fuckin' believe that you're a music fan. There's an endless reserve of godawful songs in the realm of popular music. Cringe-inducing, puketastic works that make you wish your head would explode. This cannot be the worst. You know that. You can name a song you hate more than this one, you liar telling lies.

Well this new Chabon is a collection of personal essays. I'd only read Kavalier & Clay (wub) before this, and it's kind of wild learning he's a real dude who uses words like 'crap'! (A lot!)

Same here man - do it!

"OK, let me get this on the record for all you tapers, all you people that sit at home and complain about the setlists being the same every fuckin' night. You're not at the shows!" Nail on the gotdang head, Tweedy. I've never been at Wilco show and thought 'man I wish I was hearing a different song right now'.

Rachel Getting Married - in Stamford, Connecticut, a family defined by heartache gathers for a long weekend of celebration and confrontation, via Rachel's wedding and her sister Kym's release from a stint at rehab, respectively. Good, naturalistic performances from all, notably Bill Irwin as the sorrowful ringleader dad. The verite approach Jonathan Demme takes here is closer to his Neil Young concert film than, say Philadelphia, and thank God for it - the script's instances of clumsiness would be less forgivable if this was shot as a Big Hollywood Movie. And though the tony setting and a perm

Hmm.

Well - I'm down, either way. Always good to burnish the Photoshop skillz.

Oh. Well, I remember working on it - can't find it now. If you're still interested and have the file, you can email it to me.

A-man, I just thought of something: did you ever receive my cleaned-up version of that Ronnie Lane/wife pic you'd sent me?

Obama walked to the podium at the Rose Garden yesterday to the tune of Pieholden Suite.

Just started Michael Chabon's latest: Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son. Good stuff so far.

May I recommend starting here? http://tsutpen.blogspot.com/search/label/Marilyn%20in%20Action

Did that strip away your "at least Richie Havens popularized one song of his own" belief? (okay, 'Freedom', I see now, is his)

I'm gonna stand by my own experience, which is that every Wilco show I see* is better than the one I saw before. Once I'm disappointed in a show, I'll inform EVERYONE here via a shocking "OMG it's over!?#{:content:}quot; thread. *for the record this includes 2 shows in '99 fwiw

Hey mods, merge?

Halloween is for thrills and chills and fun - not actual freakin' death. Doll her up with a witch hat or somethin'!

Absolutely yes.

Oh I love that song. I was hoping to find the performance from just a few years ago that PBS aired.

All due respect to Donovan, Dylan could very well have been coming up with lines for 'Like A Rolling Stone' as he listens to Donovan play. Considering that, I think he comes off as extremely respectful in that scene. I doubt the thought 'this guy rips me off' enters into the equation. Anyway, this is a Donovan thread.

OHHHH! Hey - I only learned it recently myself. Check the clip: http://musicalstewdaily.com/2008/11/24/donovan-bob-dylan-dont-look-back/

It's Halloween season. Well, since I was 5, I've come to experience some other stuff that shuts him out of my top five. My wife, for example. And coffee...

Is that Donovan realizing maybe he should've requested All I Really Wanna Do?
