  1. yeah, any word on producer etc.? maybe i should drive past brendan's studio and see whats going on. oh wait, of course, T-Bone Burnett is producing along with Rick Ruben, right?
  2. we've got a fun local AM station that plays everything from Dylan to Opera. Pretty fun, if you're in the mood.
  3. TFA is probably my favorite Neil album. LA and Don't Be Denied are my favorite Neil tunes. As for Genesis, I no longer consider them a guilty pleasure. More along the lines of pop brilliance :-) Now, I've only heard a bit of Lambchop and really respect that guy. Need to pick up this new one when it comes out.
  4. Wild Frank, you've got great taste...Tom Waits, Genesis, Lambchop!!
  5. good question. to me, the internet is basically one giant tabloid flooded with perpetual user psychological projection.
  6. http://gizmodo.com/5860265/google-music-is-a-complete-letdown gizmodo thinks google music blows. what's funny is that the bands that we seem to love on this board are independent and will continue to put out physical product because that's what 'real' dedicated music fans want. what the majors do has no bearing on that. at the same time, i recently went to best buy and was astounded at the selection they still had...everything from Rush and Pink Floyd complete catalogs to Wilco, Battles, LCD Sound System, Radiohead, Phish, Dream Theater, All big names in jazz, etc. the other thought i
  7. http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/business-matters-don-t-bury-the-cd-just-1005490122.story The report was bogus.
  8. Ever since the onslaught of iTunes there has been at least an article a year about the death of the CD. We've had several threads about it. At one point I was worried about it. Then I tried to embrace mp3s and kind of went digital. That actually made me crazy. Having 'everything' available at any moment is overwhelming. Incidentally, I'm back to CDs. Actually bought two today. I like songs in the context of albums. I still listen to CDs at home and albums on my iPod. the iPod is great for the car and traveling, but music for me is the physical album. I pay more attention when I have
  9. i always hated the cheap white Columbia House disclaimer on the back of the CDs. those clubs were like the precursor of mp3s for me. i always ended up with a shit load of stuff i would never listen to.
  10. No order.... Go Go Boots-Drive-By Truckers Nothing Is Wrong-Dawes The Whole Love-Wilco Harrow & Harvest-Gillian Welch Ashes & Fire-Ryan Adams Fly From Here-Yes Here We Rest-Jason Isbell A Dramatic Turn of Events-Dream Theater (never ever liked them, but this album is anthemic!) Mockingbird Time-Jayhawks What's It All About-Pat Metheny A Treasure-Neil Young
  11. are there 'new' overdubs on this a la the recent stones and bruce?
  12. Right, I finally get it now. (was actually psyched at the potential for neil dates)
  13. the actual album is great. so much better than that broadway sounding redux. i'm at a loss as to why they just didn't release this instead. i could do with out the 30 versions of HaV as well as GV. is the single disc available?
  14. i've tried several times to 'really get into' him. ashes and fire has done the trick. great intro album for uninitiated. it's def a folky cousin to love is hell.
  15. Glenn is so cool. He's really playing the tiny desk!
  16. Walt seems to always get off when things are 'breaking bad' by some random event. I can see Walt dying of cancer and at the moment of his death, Hank, Jesse etc. figure everything out. As for the arc of next season, it will be Hank pulling things together and I bet Jesse and Walt get pulled into some Mexican thing as there is a vacuum of leadership on both sides of the border. Don't forget the other dude...who we last saw at the hospital. Can't remember his name. The thing that is so amazing about this show is how it does outrageous things with out being outrageous. Example, Gus's de
  17. Loved Jack Straw opener, especially when it was followed by They Love Each Other or Sugaree. Buckeye Lack 93 Jack Straw>Foolish Heart was awesome! btw-Bobby plays the weirdest chord voicing. i usually only recognize a few.
  18. they don't sound so bad. kind of weird though.
