Vacant Horizon

cool. i really like their version of not fade away though :-) it seems the uk versions are the way to go and then get a singles set or something. btw, is beggar's banquet awesome or what! i don't know why, but i've been playing the shit out of that lately. on first listen it seems a bit shoddy, besides streetfighting and sympathy. but the other songs reveal themselves to be so great. those kids had balls to fill a rock album with several acoustic blues numbers. also, i really liked bigger bang, but i cannot stand any of teh 90s stuff.

i need some assistance. i want to get the first stones record, but i don't know if i should get the US or UK pressing. this seems to be the case with everything up to Satanic Majesties. anybody got some advice? Thanx

anyone know what the 'skinny mother fucker rocker diet' consists of? i need to get on that so i still look good at age 70!

although it had a cool cover, i think Americana was kind of a joke album a la Fork in the Road. it should've been a free download. i wish the tunes on psychadelic pill were a bit shorter and 'fixed' a bit. driftin back is good through verse three and then it blows! the songs just seem kind of not done or done on the fly. still some gems though. as for the book, yeah, it sucked. of course i read the whole damn thing and immediately gave it away...unlike shakey which i've read several times. the only great chapter in the memoir was the Zuma days one. no joke, dylan's Chronicles was a

yes it is. i wish drifting back was only 10mins too.

the article is interesting in how it explains how these streaming services are to build capital. the only advertisements on spotify are for spotify. weird. how can a company that makes on money and loses money gain capital? as an accountant i've said it a million times. the more money you have the stupider you are investing wise. i guess that's why they need accountants:)

live music is alive and well. i'm confused. anyway, to me it breaks down like this. the big pop stars some how still make money on album/single sales even though kids steal the music. or, maybe they just go buy it on iTunes. i would include pop alternative in this group as well. then you have the classic rock giants who still sell shit loads of music because the boomers still buy music. they're not in trouble by spottily or torrents. in the middle are bands like wilco, radiohead who have built a following by having a major label stint and building a cult following through touring. th

that article is hilarious! i love the pictures.

can on troll if one is a longtime member of the board? anyway, my favorite critique of Bon Iver is Jim Derogotis calling him Mush Mouth :-)

umm, i don't think so. no one knew of john bon iver until this year.

that's weird. i didn't know you two liked the Dead. my actually favorite so far is Neil's Psychedelic Pill. really good.

Bon Iver-For Emma, Forever Ago

that was quick! thanks. gonna check some of these out that i've kind of ignored in the past. i am a fan of spoon already.

i'm curious, who? seriously. thanks. c

pretty much @Wild Frank- good points. like a hurricane on a shitty cassette rules!

been looking to no avail.

totally!!

that video from 92 is great! i saw them that year. i hadn't loved a 'new' album in years until southern harmony. i remember that show being the loudest i've ever seen by any band. they played dreams by allman brothers. what i remember about that period is Chris going on mtv and saying he doesn't smoke weed etc. then at the show they unveil this giant pot leaf mural:) didn't christ have to stop because of exhaustion after this tour too?

yeah, i love kiln house. all those early mac albums are good. i like the direction the crowes were going. luther is great. not a huge fan of his main band though.

i hop there's some vignettes about writing songs. that's the stuff i like best that was sorely lacking in neil's memoir. i think there's a new son volt coming out this spring too. i've come to like the New Multitudes disc quite a bit. a little confused by jim james is on there though.

i'm not traveling to see them because of the setlists. i know it would be fun, but i also know that i'd get bored with 20 min. neil jam. that's like playing ARC every night. now a 20 min. jerry garcia jam...that's another story:-) i'm not traveling to see them because of the setlists. i know it would be fun, but i also know that i'd get bored with 20 min. neil jam. that's like playing ARC every night. now a 20 min. jerry garcia jam...that's another story:-)

West LA! great cover. chris is definitely a deadhead. his choice of dead covers is so cool. i missed them when they came through atlanta. wonder if they'll keep it going or the crowes will do something next year.

that was a good speech. unfortunately, i watched some of the crazy speech's. amazing how hateful supposedly loving christians are. i don't know why i'm surprised though. it still blows my mind that everyone votes on issues that effect 10% of the population. sad state of affairs. add in the fiscal cliff and....

yeah, in the new book he talks about listening to Rhapsody in his car. that's even shittier than mp3. oh well. it is pretty funny. your point about broken arrow made me laugh out loud! i'm with you, After the Gold Rush sounds best on a shitty vinyl system. it's crazy how he wants stellar sound quality for such, as you say, grainy rough music. i too listened to on the beach from a 2nd gen tape for years because it wasn't on CD. i think neil just decided he hated digital around the time broken arrow came out and then decided to harp on analog etc. incidentally, if you peruse some of
