Vacant Horizon

i watched the dead movie so many damn times in high school. that eyes may be my favorite ever. love that jam they did at the end of it in 74.

that is an awesome first set. i haven't seen that dvd yet. i love watching garcia, phil and bob dick around between songs while brent just sits back and gets set up at the piano only to have to quickly head over to the organ b/c the boys changed their minds. also, it's always been so funny to me how much bob fucks around with his equipment and it never ever sounds any different! love 'em.

the guthrie project that has been sitting in the vault for a while. don't think i'll pick this up. jay definitely saves his best stuff for SV. he's only got a few songs on this too, as far as i can tell. Yim Yames...why? http://www.amazon.com/Multitudes-Deluxe-Farrar-Johnson-Parker/dp/B006X96PB0/ref=tmm_acd_title_0

jay farrar says on a New Multitudes preview video that he was approached by Bragg before Wilco. Farrar's project comes out in a few weeks. from what i hear, farrar only has two songs on it. yim yames has no business at all being on it.

nice post sponge. however, i have rocked out to a katy perry song before

there is so much stuff over at http://www.caldoverderecords.com/. i'd love to see that tour dvd. he also puts out a bunch of live stuff every few months. that's not to mention the other RHP type bands on the label. i can't keep up. i still have to get Tiny Cities!

seeing a band live is a great way to get into them. or, to hate them for life.

she was inescapable on the radio. remember when she guest starred on Silver Spoons. i remember i went with a potential girlfriend to see the body guard. i remember not hating it. RIP

bands that maintained a career over the 70s 80s and 90s fascinate me as the production values of each decade were vastly different. Tom Petty comes to mind.

i guess it does drag a bit. it has some great songs though. i though magic was pretty tight, however, i think it should've been called The Long Walk Home :-) Working on a Dream was very touch and go. songs 2 and 3 were great as was the song The Wrestler. not many times is the bonus track the best song on the album.

songwise, devils and dust is an excellent album. unfortunately, as with many albums, it's totally over-produced. the song Devils and Dust is so good, then the damn orchestra comes in. total cheese. it's embarrassing to play out loud.

Love that song. Too bad the rest of the album isn't as good. it's okay.

I absolutely LOVED Siamese Dream.

well, with all those new folks, they'll have to be well rehearsed and probably won't change the setlist much. this is a good thing. the last show i saw on the last tour was a bit sloppy.

i concur with the sentiments above. i was quite a bit more optimistic in the 90s. was also anxious and excited. now, i cool with what i like and that's enough. it's impossible to keep up. as for the 90s trio, mine was jayhawks, wilco and son volt :-)

Sleeps with Angels is so good. from start to finish. as far as Americana goes...i'm not expecting much. sounds like a kids album. neil says that he's working on another Crazy Horse album too. my hunch is that we'll never see that one. neil will move on. it's getting ridiculous with his press releases and then nothing. in the past 5 years we've heard about a buffalo springfield tour, toast, unreleased album series and none have materialized. at least the archives 1 came out, but that was so underwhelming. i'm a huge fan i will never buy them. this is not to mention the whole blue ray

same with me. great tune.

i think the band held off on all this bonus stuff because it's not that good. i'm sure seeing them live in the 70s was great, but the tapes i've heard are tough to listen to. the studio stands best alone. Wish You Were Here and Animals are perfect albums. I also love the Final Cut. everything else has been shoved down my throat via classic rock radio or is just unlistenable to me. it continues to fascinate me how many times these big bands re-release the same stuff.

i can't believe the 90s are over, much less the first of the oughts. we really do get older! 90s weren't bad for music. def better than 80s. however, i'm finding some good 80s. that sound is quaint now.

i really like post peter green, pre buckingham nicks stuff. just some good 70s straight ahead rock. a blind spot for me might be the actual blues stuff with peter. it's just kind of boring to me. i really like his non blues stuff though like man of the world and green manilishi.

http://neilyoungnews.thrasherswheat.org/2012/02/video-neil-young-discusses-crazy-horse.html some interviews with neil. from what i can gather neil recorded an album of folk tunes with crazy horse and a boys choir. this album is called Americana. sounds like a nightmare, but might be good. he says he's working on a second crazy horse album. not holding my breath on that one. i feel a little sad for richie furry...the springfield is over.

in that interview, i think neil and the interviewers were just talking past each other. i think the best we can expect at some point is lossless downloads with high res art as well as ipods that can carry it all and some how playback in a warmer, audiophile fashion. counter to neil, some would say we've come a long way in only needing 5% of the whole for music to sound fairly good. unfortunately, it's not really how big the sound document is, i think it has more to do with production, mixing and mastering. a rip of a a 70s vinyl album at 128kbs still is much easier to listen to than a com

i know it's early, but...post of the year! ultra mega super sound...awesome. neil's becoming a bit tiresome. i think i get into him for ten year cycles and one is coming to an end. however, if that new memoir comes out, it might be another story. btw, i just noticed AMan has over 40,000 posts. Jesus Christ! that can't be real.

i wish he would pull a band together and tour a tight show like his albums are. i saw him solo once. i will say nothing more. Ghosts of the Great Highway is one of the best albums of the last decade. have yet to dive into Admiral Fell Promises.

i watched this video. the interviewers seem a bit dense and combative. what happened to that CODE thing that he was working on with john mellencamp and TBone burnett i wonder.
