sunken treasure

the mountain is bluegrass Earle, and it is indeed excellent...especially the title track...an American classic. will be covered on back porches in 100 years. the best representations of Earle sound are probably Transcendental Blues, which is a good mix of all of his styles and his best album, I Feel Alright, or El Corazon. Start there and work your way through his other stuff. Guy is a great, great songwriter.

this tour is a dream come true for me, as someone who came late in the game and missed live GBV period. Seen Pollard, but never, NEVER(!!!) thought I'd get the chance to see him with Tobin and motherfucking MITCH MITCHELL I'm hitting the DC date if the ticket thing comes through. if not, ill pay a fucking scalper. CANNOT WAIT THE CLUB IS OPEN come on come on the cluuuuub is ooooooopennnnnn

thanks for these, hardwood. my collection of live geebs is ever expanding thanks to you

whole Mojo album streaming here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/thelife/music/news/story?id=5260264 kinda weird that its on espn.com, but whatever...I'm happy we get to hear it in it's entirety finally

Probably sendspace or mediafire?

YES. that's the guy I pointed out earlier. He was such an annoying pest. kept yelling, clapping, getting up and walking in between my row and the row behind us, yelling weird shit at tweedy, what a dick. it was really bad until the acoustic set when he left. i was totally prepared to turn around and punch him, but didn't want to risk missing out on the rest of a wonderful show

great great show, probably the best of the 5 times I've seen them. girlfriend was super-impressed, so it's legit. i was, however, about to sock the drunk fat guy behind me who kept yelling "YESS SIRRR!!!!" every 2 seconds, clapping randomly during quiet parts, and booing when Jeff talked. He left right after the dinner giveaways....thank fuck

uncle Bob! people forget that the Pollard bros were sports wizards he's multi-faceted

I'm actually half looking forward to Moses on a Snail

Track 4 on planets I agree about something missing...the songs are catchy, some get stuck in my head, but overall they've lost some of the magic. too samey I could have sworn i saw someone mention something on DTS about Bob and doug currently working together...

28 songs...best of boston spaceships. i think it holds up pretty strongly considering Pollard's latest output. Canned Food Demons How Wrong You Are You Satisfy Me Keep Me Down Big O Gets An Earful Winston's Atomic Bird Tattoo Mission Psych Threat Brown Submarine Dorothy's A Planet Two Girl Area Question Girl All Right Sylph Andy Playboy Radical Amazement Queen Of Stormy Weather Soggy Beavers Let It Rest for a Little While Rat Trap UFO Love Letters Ready To Pop The Town That's After Me The Comedian Go Inside Heavy Crown Exploding Anthills Mr. Ghost Town Go For Th

Yeah, totally. Greg demos lays down some wild solos on tracks 3 and 4 It kinda trails off in the middle, but the highs are higher than brown sub,etc. One could make a killer best of boston spaceships mix...think ill tackle one later Pollard just may be the greatest artist you can pare down and make mixtape upon mixtape of Also, there's been more intelligent discussion of the man and his music in this thread than I've experienced on dts in probably 4 years...ill still lurk there to hear about new bands and new bob stuff...but I'm too scared to even attempt bringing anything to the table p

did Todd produce it?

yeah, I've heard it all. 0 - 99 is great, but I think I'd put Planets are Blasted over it as the best Pollard release since FaCE. That run of first 5 songs - Canned Food Demons, Dorothy, Tattoo Mission, Keep Me Down, Big O is great.

...interesting angle. I'm trying not to do any drive-by diagnosis shit on Bob, but I have to say I just don't get where he's at right now. He seems alright with the 2,000 or so fan base that snaps up every mediocre release...I honestly sense bitterness that he never "made" it...perhaps that's why he's not even trying anymore. that being said, the guy still gave us over 20 years of great music. that's more than most fans could ever ask for, and we'll always have that to fall back on. I do believe he still has a few great records left in him...if only he'd take things in a new direction.

is that all he sold? jesus christ. that depresses me. it's fucking criminal he isn't more popular

yeah, some of the tracks that came out that year go back pretty early...but as far as I'm concerned, if the official release came out in that year, it counts....haha have you seen the footage of Mitch playing that? i think it's on Some Drinking Implied or something

there's some food upon the taaaaable, boys.

in the pantheon of Bob, that's one of the best years to live in. Bushes, Sunfish Holy Breakfast, Not In My Airforce, Tobin Sprout's Carnival Boy goddamn, that was a great year

also, I think we should change the title of this thread to the "Bob Pollard discussion"

The new album is absolutely amazing. Will Sheff did a brilliant job producing - and Okkervil couldn't have been any more tasteful with Roky's songs. Album of the year...This is like Time Out of Mind, Bone Machine, etc.

go listen to Under the Bushes and live in 1996 forever then, mannnn.

there was a show I saw in 2007 at St. Vincent's college where Jeff started getting in a security guards face during Kingpin I think? I'm not really sure what the issue was - the guy was just standing there doing his job...but Jeff berated him pretty bad for not rocking out and singing along. It was funny at first, but he did it for like 3 minutes straight...by the end I felt kinda bad for the guy. Jeff was cranky that night.

Its 99% crap. Some of bob's most ridiculous, drunken vocals laid non top of eerie Todd music....I'll give them the music...its decent background/atmospheric noise, but I probably wouldn't spend money on it. The bob fan I used to be probably would...but I've spent to much $$ on shit like nightwalker and acid ranch to do it again. I'm strictly Bob proper and Boston Spaceships from here on out......pass the koolaid.
