Mrs. Peel

J&MC was the other one I thought of too.

Brakes will release their new album "Touchdown" on Fat Cat next April 20th. Download the track "Crystal Tunings" here.

 

Thanks!

The song reminds me of The Pixies.

I forgot to watch but I have the DVR set to record the rerun tonight.

i still think their latest blows away Blessed at least...

Blessing, you mean? Yeah, absolutely f-ing true. Doesn't come close to any of the other past releases for me though. I should have said I'm not a big fan of the last two albums.

What about Neff? He's been shredding it up quite a bit lately, and not just on the pedal steel. He had some scorching solos the last few times I saw them.

He's really good, I just didn't think he was Jason. Besides, I really missed Jason's songs as part of the live sets. Seeing the Truckers and not hearing Decoration Day is terrible. Add to it that I'm not a big fan of the last album and that's the bulk of what I saw them perform.

For me, it's the mellow material they've been producing lately. The last time I saw them I was actually bored until the second half of the set when they kicked it into gear with the older songs. Plus I'm extremely bitter about them kicking Jason out of the band. Just ask CortezTheKiller. You don't get that "wall of sound" effect without 3 guitars. I loved the back-and-forth with Jason and Cooley too....the dueling guitars and Jason's harmonizing vocals on Cooley's songs. I really missed that the last time I saw them.

I saw DBT recently for the first time and it was just ok. Seem like they would be alright on CD but a little boring for a live show.

A few years ago this statement would have been unthinkable, but these days I tend to agree.

Mine would also like a large assortment of Lego men (the little brother loses them)- but, god I can't find decent ones for a good price.

Have you seen this collection?

You can also build your own mini figures on the Lego website in the "Pick A Brick" section. Maybe you can custom build one that looks like him for a stocking stuffer?

Thanks for posting this, I'm going to make sure and watch tonight. It sounds fantastic.

Yeah, just listened to Carrion Suite. Awesome. Now to find some money.

I asked for it for X-mas.

I guess they've avoided taking sides!

Yes, I saw them with Jason on his first solo tour in MA.

My first listen....I love it so far! It reminds me so much of Wish. I can tell it's going to get a lot of play in my car.

Have a slammin' birthday, man!

Can't wait for the next tour, too. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to have The Whigs for a supporting act again.

I'm sure some people know where it is, and also know it would be totally inappropriate to post the location on a public message board.

Still no source on that other show you asked me about a while back.

That really sucks. Thanks for checking though. I look every once in a while when I happen to think of it.

Thanks, and thanks!

"calling Mrs. Peel"

I saw the bat signal, Wendy! :dancing :dancing

As someone who doesn't do much downloading these days, I'm putting my plea out right now that everyone keep me in mind if you "happen across" a copy of this.

You said it.

When Patrick Duffy started hosting that Bingo America show on the Game Show Network, the first time Al saw it he said "Hey, that's the Man From Atlantis!" I bet he was the only person in the universe who said that.

Saw this last weekend at a little art-house theater. It was very well done. I'm not really a fan of too much of her music but I appreciate her poetic ability and find her to be a very interesting person. The movie was a nice look into the past 10 years of her life. They've been working on the movie for 11 years. Filming footage, knowing they'd be using it for a documentary eventually. You see her kids grow up, you see her move on past the death of her husband, and you see her both as her "stage" persona and her "daughter/mother" persona. It had an artistic overtone but there weren't any instances that you would say "ugh, the only reason they put this in here was to be ironic". I would highly recommend it for a Patti Smith fan, but even if you aren't it's an in depth look at a multifaceted woman. She has suffered a lot of loss in her life, and you see how she uses that loss to make herself a better person.

Maybe not, but they kept going back to it for 14 years? It sounds like it's 14 years old.

This really took 14 years?
