I would be pissed if that happened to me if I were in the audience!

Yes, but would you be upset?

It actually is probably my favorite book ever. Toss up between GBYMR and Cat's Cradle, but I think Rosewater has the slight edge. Great thread!

Sad news. Milo Goes to College was by far my favorite Descendents LP, and one of the big reasons was Frank's guitar tone.

Great night! Glad I saw this. For some reason, I've always known I'd see Jeff Mangum peform in the middle of a field at a horse track in Kentucky.

Hey Hey, My My

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Insane 1st 4 songs! I'll combust if he does anything like this in Detroit!

IMO Thurston> Lee > Kim

Mine is a picture of me either thwarting or bringing on about the apocalypse wih my guitar shredding.

I'll be putting in my time-off request for December 7th - 16th today!

He even kind of looks like John Stirrat.

p.s. check out his do!

Very Richie Tenenbaum!

The Newport, KY show was really short too. I thought it may have been because it was Easter Sunday, but I guess not. I still really enjoyed it. Setlist looks similar, except they played Out of Reaches (awesome) and Baby Come On :^P

Untitled is a really underrated record. Clarence White's vocals sound like butter on Truck Stop Girl.

Notorious Byrd Brothers. Easily.

BTW Goin' Back just came up in my shuffle as I typed this!

Man, he showed them ... NOT!

"We have known him for a long time and he actually knows us by name. I never would have imagined it but we potentially know a sitting president and that sounds totally crazy. I am pretty proud of him other than that. I think it's a remarkable thing.

 

So all going well, how's that inauguration show looking?

 

"Well that is what we said in 2004 when he introduced us at Farm Aid. I asked him if we could play the inauguration. At that time he said `if Hillary invites us'. It was before he had announced his run. I am crossing my fingers."

Playing the inauguration would be like SNL times 50!

The Beach Boys versions of Smile are superior,

+1

If you're not into experimental/noise, but are still interested in their sound, Rather Ripped and Murray Street both have a great clean sound.

Rather Ripped was engineered by TJ Doherty who did Sky Blue Sky, Born Again in the USA, and the new Malkmus. His guitar sounds just sing! Not to discredit the musicians at all, but he does the nicest job out there on cleaner sounding guitars, IMO.

I know, I know. I just haven't been able to stop playing this album since it leaked. I'm a big fan of the guitar indulgence. I know a lot of people are put off by his recent forays into AOR territory, but I say crank it dude!

Great album. I think it's the best since Crooked Rain ... possibly his best ever. Can't wait for the Easter Sunday show.

I hear a bit of Steely Dan in that one (as in SD when they were still rocking), and that aint a bad thing.

I thought Nels sounded a little weather channelly on it.

speaking of NMH - does anyone have an MP3 of Jeff covering King of Carrot Flowers back in 2005 they could send me?

Not sure if this is '05 or not.

How long do these intermissions last?

Kicking TV resulted from 4 consecutive nights in Chicago. Just sayin'
