Vacant Horizon

Let us know what you think. I might have to dig that one out now that i think of it. Other second tier tracks are: Cherub Rock, Geek USA (nice spacey bridge), Rockit, and of course Silver Fuck. Today is good too, but way overplayed. And, I could do without Disarm and Space Boy. Craig PS-that b-sides comp is probably their second best disc. Some nice stuff between the underproduced Gish and Siamese Dream. Key tracks there are Drown, Plume, and Starla. Damn, awesome song!

Siamese Dream was the only album during my sophmore year of college that I listened to inscently beside grateful dead. i was never really into alternative music, but his album just nailed me after i ended up seeing them in a small venue right when the album came out. Awesome album and a real grower. Key tracks-Mayonaise, Hummer, Soma. It was one of those albums i would put on and before i know it, it was over. That doesn't happen often. can't even remember the last time that happened. Gish has a few fun tunes on it and i would go to that before mellon collie. that album is too overblo

I was at Pitt 95. pretty fun, but it rained. don't remember a riot. but, that was my last show and the one i saw the most naked people at:) mostly men, unfortunately. amazingly, it was the last time my dead buddies from college and i were able to get together to see a show together and ultimately, garcia died weeks later. it was time to be over. maybe not for jerry, but for the scene.

well, this is not popular with the heads, but my all time favorite era when it was all said and done had to be 80-81 and 90. used to love the 70s, but just never liked donna or keith. 91 had some fun stuff )scarlet>victim>fire), but way too much middle range with bruce in there. and damn it if vince was always too high in the mix.

didn't take part in the last thread b/c i am basically burned out on the dead. they were my life for a good 12 years. even after garcia died. although that was a relief as it gave me a legit reason to not see shows that i knew were getting worse and worse and the damn hassle of seeing them. traveling for hours with no sleep, sleeping in cars, shitting at gas stations, camping in the rain...i could go on. but damn, when 'the boys' hit the stage it was awesome. no band has done that for me since. just garcia's guitar and the excitment of what they might play and the dancing and trying to

yeah, nicely written review!

I'd Like You More if You Were Hyped Less (And Also If Your Verse Melodies Weren't So Interchangeable And Your Choruses So Overwrought): The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible dude, aren't all the ones you listed totally overhyped? when did whiny music with vibes etc. become what we actually think is good? no offense to your list at all. i like wilco, but i just do not like anything other folks seem to listen to on this board. hell, my album of the year is Magnolia electric co. sojourners. just some warm mid tempo tunes with rhodes and guitar. craig ps. dig your band's darkside tribute.

well, i am really hoping for a new gillian welch record. i assume it's done and was supposed to come out in 07. also, neil young archives, but not holding my breath.

Okay here we go...please forgive the obvious guilty pleasure(s)... In no particular order... You'll Be Comin' Down-Springsteen Ordinary People-Neil Young Hammer Down (electric version)-Magnolia Electric Co. Please Read The Letter-Plant and Krauss How Long-Eagles ...oh and For Your Life, The Song Remains The Same, Kashmir, Black Dog, etc.

He died last Sunday from prostate cancer that he had been dealing with for 3 years. Dont know if anyone on this list cares for his music. I never liked him for the longest time (no pun intended). He could really pour on the syrup and the cheese. However, he had some great acoustic tunes a la CSN and Neil Young. His album Souvenirs was produced by Joe Walsh and I have enjoyed it.

well, i appreciate the mp3 thread. i just want a taste of the show and don't want to convert etc. flac aud recording is nothing special. in addition, why do a handful of people on this forum always jump into every thread and make some jackass remark? just keep your toolishness to yourself for god's sake. craig

recently got into BOH and have been into MMJ on and off for a few years. Love Magnolia Electric. Any others out there? craig

i really think page stepped up to this. i mean, he has really practiced and after a broken finger? he is just hitting all the notes and not being sloppy at all. better than the 70s. plant sounds great and i am glad everything was basically tuned down a whole step for plant. everything was just played so well and the lower keys just gave it nice sludgy feel. craig

i followed the nme blog and damn if it wasn't exciting. i mean, legends!!! led zep!!! i have been so excited the last week looking forward to this. it really has got me back into listening to them regularly. i just really feel like rock history was made tonight. not just some publicity show or money gig. these dudes played because they wanted to and it's just amazing. rock on!

plant, as always, just looks like a badass!! so does page and jonesy. not the zep of 72, but not the zep of 1980 either. damn, it's led zeppelin!!

totally fascinating. more music than ever before, even by our favorite artists, at our finger tips and we're all overwhelmed. craig

Now, we have instant access to every fart, burp and whistle an artist decides to commit to plastic. The length of the cd medium has also diluted the quality of music. Some artists feel the need to fill every second of an 80 minute disc (the equivalent of a double vinyl album). the whole 'everything an artist does we have to get' is really overwhelming. i gave up on that years ago. very rarely do i hear a 'bonus' track or whatever that i like better than the album. even with wilco. artists write a ton of shit and part of their art is choosing the songs they want on their album. we have

Digital music feels more disposable to me, whereas I want to hold on to cd's and records and get the most out of them. i also feel like mp3s are disposable. just so easy pick up or delete. i miss when i was a kid and spending 10-15 bucks on an album and later a cd was a huge deal. it was always something i really wanted and i just let myself enjoy the entire thing. i need to get back to that. unfortunately, the dudes at the record stores in my town can be assholes.

yeah, i have been using mule variations for latter day waits and heart of sat. night for early waits. both are okay.

damn, forgot he was in that. gonna have to rewatch that one. he's great in short cuts and is also in the new indy flick, wristcutters.

yeah, i kept trying to listen to all this new stuff and it really wasn't that good to my ears. i also have a hard time allowing cds to become 'growers'...i have been trying to get into tom waits for a year now and it just isnt happening, even though i really like the idea of him and see him as an american treasure...go figure. craig

a kindred spirit. i have been know to delete my entire ipod in a fit of rage. of course, putting it all back on over the next few days.

Truth be told, I could probably whittle my collection down to 20 CDs and be happy. i am the exact same way. i have actually gotten rid of a bunch of cds and just kept the core awesome discs. wilco, neil young, zeppelin. those are the ones i just keep going back to. i can listen to them over and over again. this is exactly what i am talking about. before i can enjoy the stuff i just got it becomes urgent that i download more new stuff!!

thanks-sorry about the torrent stuff. it is kind of painful. i suggest downloading azureus, installing it, going to btjunkie.org and pushing the download button on something you like. that's how i did it. craig dude, i am the same way with the cd wall. it's like i have to decide before i even look. i also am an album guy. i can't stand single tracks. they gotta be really good.
