Vacant Horizon

unlistenable.

This is going to be a great fall release season! Steve Earle Bruce Springsteen Neil Young Eagles (yes, i love 'em) Krauss and Plant Gillian Welch? Spring hopefuls! Drive By Truckers Neil Young Archives ...? I am really excited abou the fall! c

I agree with the earlier post that the internet is here to stay and artists etc. need to use it to their advantage. for example, invest in their own download service at their website. if all artists were doing this, there would be no more 'record' companies. the thought that artists aren't 'giving it their all' b/c no one's gonna buy is both sad and kind of ridiculous. hell, i write and work on songs all the time b/c i am compelled by the total aspect of creation. no one is prolly ever gonna hear my tunes, but i still create. if bands are putting out shitty music then it's shitty musi

this is not surprising-yet still infuriating. the only thing i have really been waiting for the last several years/decades is neil's archives. and here we go again with another set back. this was ready to roll in the late 80s. that turned into lucky 13. talk through out the entire 90s, and it was ready to go in 99. during the run up to csny looking forward, neil was doing interviews with the actual boxset in his hand talking about it. alas, what did we get-are you passionate? terrible album, yet listenable. so now we gots to wait till 08. don't count on winter. big releases only com

i heard What Light on acoustic surise a few sundays ago. glad to see wilco fans from ATL.

jim's beard is pretty patchy and stringy, but I was referring to his mane of hair on his head. Looks like Counsin IT. My basic point is that I really wish there were more bands out there that were on par with Wilco, the songwriting, musicianship, production, etc.

yet another self righteous indie-kid perpetuating his own delusion and denial by calling others ignorant.

looking like a tool comes from the hair. it is just stupid to stand there looking like cousin it. i saw them once and was just embarrassed for jim james. (not to mention the ridiculous blow up ghost). another citique. no guitar solos, just playing chords really loud. there's a place for that, but come on. Tenn. Fire-unlistenable At Dawn-okay, mostly forgetable ISM-could've been great if shorter(golden, holiday, etc = good) Z-this could have been amazing given the potential shown on ISM, but as is the way in indie-land sounding like shit gives cred. so they put out 10 crappy songs! a

another band that could be amazing and save rock, but are marred by the special indie requirement that the singer must be really annoying-sing really high and off key, look like a complete tool on stage, etc. much like ryan adams. only his problem is that he puts too much mediocre material on his albums. he sings okay. by the way, the problems with mmj that i mentioned above are what supposedly make them cool?! seriously, what happened to rock? really! did punk really ruin it all?

i have tried several times to discern lossy vs. lossless. usually with very frustrating results. itunes songs that i have bought sound pretty good. it wasn't till i was aware of bit rates that i started to worry about it. so i did research and settled on 192 aac. lately i have been worried about not having an ipod forever, so have been using 192 mp3. i guess 256 is overkill in some cases, especially new music from mid 90s to now. all of that seems to have the same loudness to me. now, i have tried to put older stuff from the 70s in a less lossy or lossless format on my ipod and i just

clearly.

can anyone have a legitimate reply on this forum? damn, what a bunch of tools! most of the time it seems like this site is about who can match wits and who is the coolest. albumbase actually has some good albums.

thoughts? i have used it to check stuff out i have some interest in and then purchase stuff i love. i figure folks here could join and upload some killer stuff. c

thanks so much-forgot to look on you site. awesome! craig

Thanks friends- craig

as far as i am concerned, TFA is one of the best albums of all time. awesome. LA and Don't Be Denied are two of my favorite neil tunes. not to mention, The Bridge, Journey Through the Past, and Love In Mind. Crosby and Nash are only on Last Dance. It is not on CD. The above post is completly wrong about that. look on albumbase.com. rider it's not on CD! it's part of the missing neil albums on disc.

thanks- c

coherent is the key word here. i think the band finally had an excellent mix in the monitors, donna was sitting back a bit, and they were just over keith. everything melded together. the sbd's of 77 and especially may so tight in this respect. i always picure myself sitting on stage looking up at bobby and garcia as they just play what the muses had already written. good stuff. fun to talk about. haven't done this for years!

Dew!!! And i love when phil's phat bass comes in on scarlet. also, minglewood is such a goofy opener! great news. c of course they put a photo with the article that is out of date with the show. the show is 77 and photo is def 80. should have a photo with donna and keith. makes you wonder how much jouralists really know what they are writing about when you really know the subject. c

yeah, driving rain was just terrible. it just amazes me how these artists keep churning out junk. and not just junk, but junk that takes a lot of work. lyrics, arrangements, instrumentation, recording, production-all for crap. it's like the last trey anastasio cds. you could tell lots of work went into it and it was complete shit. as well as the new son volt etc. i could go on.

it was george martin and his son who did love. anyway, it makes sense that lynn is back to finish up. just wish martin had been involved a bit more with the anthologies. wonder what it would've sounded like. on second thought, he really botched up some America records in the 70s with mucho overproduction. who knows...at least glad its not bob rock or steve lillywhite or something horrendous like that!

it is that extra track. on a side note, i was pretty pissed to see george martin do the recen Love remix album b/c when the anthologies were coming together he was asked why he was not producing and he said b/c his hearing was bad. now 10 years later he is producing and remixing. why the hell isn't martin doing the production on this. although i like jeff lynn, everything he touches sounds like Full Moon Fever or Traveling Wiburys or even worse Eldorado!!! c

pretty much all of this is complete junk. nice to have it all in one place. really hope this new album will leak soon and be good all the way through. he's got a masterpiece in him i think. cold roses could have been an amazing single record. the rest is just nothing special. c
