... man!

I don't think you can go wrong with any of these albums by the Kinks:

 

Something Else

The Village Green Preservation Society

Arthur

Lola vs. the Powerman

Muswell Hillbillies

Sleepwalker

Misfits

Face to Face is solid

I was just kidding around, but if you get the green light, I'd love to hear some of that stuff. No pressure.

I'd really appreciate a sendspace file of this! Interesting trades considered.

What time do you think Wilco will be hitting the stage. I'm rolling in from Cincy, and want to schedule plenty of travel time.

I'll be there man

I have not heard this "classic" album but I have heard Time of the Seson about 4 trillion times (just heard it last at a restaurant that plays oldies) over the years and frankly the song is kind of lame all in all. Listen to the words sometime. I plan to play the entire album for the first time in my life sometime this week.

I don't think TotS is very representative of the album. It's by far my least favorite on it. Not necessarily a bad song, but just #1 overplayed and #2 not quite as special as Care of Cell 44, Beechwood Park, TWBOY, etc ...

it's about as overhyped as Pet Sounds, it's also as solid as Pet Sounds.

IMO, Oddessey and Oracle makes good on the promises of Pet Sounds. There's something simlar about them, and something not similar. In an alternate universe O+O is an album every rock geek owns and worships, and Pet Sounds is the one most people have heard about here and there but have never listened to.

they maybe old, but they could still sing.

Collin Blunstone, man, what a set of pipes!

Great album! One of my top 5. I unfortunately have nothing to add about the sound quality!

one thing with the Rep version - it has a different version of one song as to how it was originally released...........it's been awhile, but one song had horns (i think?) dubbed on and the Rep version doesn't have these on there.

"Maybe After He's Gone" ???

I'll be there man

Yoko Ono

It's been a while, but I remember A Day In the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatles by Mark Hertzgaard being good. It's the one where Paul looks really stoned on the front.

And for fun, I recommend The Walrus Was Pau by R. Gary Patterson.

Pitchfork has posted the second commercial in the series, featuring "You Are My Face".

Slow news day?

Any predictions on the other 4 commercials? I think Hate It Here has to be in the mix somewhere.

I'd love to see a solo rock album. Jeff's proven himself a capable bass player and lead guitarist. He already has the ultimate session drummer in Glenn. They could record it in the loft. I'd love to hear a dozen or so Hey Chicken/Ruling Class type songs. I guess basically a Loose Fur record without O'Rourke's singing is what I'm hoping for.

Gnarly guitar tone!

Downloads from oink, hidden tracks on the CD, extra tracks on iTunes, video downloads if you pre-order the CD, a CD with the LP, the bonus CD with the DVD, etc.

 

I know it's been said before on here, but this is plain silly.

I didn't even think to stick the CD in my computer! I thought the DVD + One True Vine single were the "enhanced" parts. I guess that's why you never ASSUME - it makes an ass out of u and me

I dislike the Cold War Kids because they sound like Modest Mouse. The fact that they're Christian only makes me dislike them slightly more.

Dude

Also, I keep bursting into a giggling fit when I listen to "Shake It Off" because the first time I heard the lyrics as:

When I

Another good one

It reminds me of how much was lost with the gains of punk rock. Punk rock messed up a lot of shit. As much as I love it and as much as it's probably the main reason I'm making records today, it really threw out a lot of stuff that wasn't so bad. It wasn't such a bad thing to have people working hard at making up songs. It wasn't all just rock-star excess, and it didn't all need to be torn down. I understand why punk was seen as a necessity then, but I don't know why there's still some sort of idea that musicianship is uncool.

I love his take on it!

I like I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, but this is the perfect shooting for this band right now.

One thing that I noticed is how much nicer the loft and Jeff's house look in Shake It Off than they do IaTtBYH. That rug in the loft really ties the room togther!

My favorite part is when Glenn is being interviewed and accidentally hits the cymbal.

Did anyone notice the end credits say Trixie films in association with Nonesuch and dBPM Inc ?

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

This is me rocking out to the coda of Side With the Seeds

IMO, they went downhill when they switched to a daily format. I might be missing something, but Bad Brains doing a concert on a cruiseship doesn't strike me as much of a "headline."

It seemed like the punching incident monopolized about 4 days worth of news. "Tweedy explains explanation of punching incident ..."

They printed the transcript of the View interview.

Another person over here who wasn't expecting pitchfork to dig it.

Maybe SBS shouldn't be written about. It's great music. It feels good to listen to. What else can you say about it?
