Voting wise, Specter changing parties won't change much, just as nothing would have changed if Zell Miller had switched to the Republican party.

I don't see the jam band similarity. Having been pretty heavily into the HORDE era of the jamband scene, it seems to me that a lot of that music was (is?) made up of each band member playing a lot of notes a lot of the time. In the current Wilco lineup, each member plays very little most of the time. Granted Nels' solos tend to contain a lot of notes, but during the non-solo portions of their concerts, they are very much an ensemble in which each small part makes up the whole sound. This is not true of most bands, jam or otherwise. The Muzzle of Bees video performance from Burn to Shine

So Nels' solo in Ashes is not emotional? Hmm. I literally teared up in Knoxville during that solo. My emotions must need recalibration. Or probably I'm just a pussy.

Me, too. I'm glad they're still doing that.

That'd be a good album cover.

Both of those options > Summerteeth

I'd be bummed if Mike Watt didn't have his Hootpage. http://www.hootpage.com/

Great color, but I'm not a fan of single pickup guitars.

Saab is still around?

It must feel awful to know this.

Sounds like my dad. But when the rats chewed through the drier vent and got into the house my mom made him get rid of the food.

I read a few years ago that these jokers are among the highest selling bands of all time. I think I live a fairly mainstream life (listening to radio, watching tv, shopping at the mall and target, etc.) so I'm sure I've heard some of their songs, probably a bunch of times, but I couldn't name or hum a single one.

Is this the band with the singer who got his ass kicked in Puerto Rico?

I saw that tour, too. Unfortunately it was before I really knew their music. Televsion releases were kind of hard to come by back then. I knew I would regret it if I didn't go, and at the time the only song I knew was Call Mr. Lee because it was getting a lot of play on college radio. That's still a great song, even though people try to pretend that "reunion" album is awful. Anyway, I bought a live cd from the '92 tour last night (Live at the Academy NYC 12/04/92). I'm listening to it now (Call Mr Lee is coming up next...edit, it's on now, YEAH!). 2/3 of the cd is songs from the reunio

I saw Richard Lloyd in concert last night. He has Billy Ficca on drums. I saw them a few months ago and they were good, but this time they were on another level. Amazing. I got to chat with Billy and the bass player for a few minutes. Super nice fellows. Any fan of Television should go see this show.

Unless I overlooked it nobody mentioned Ciccone Youth "The Whitey Album". Pretty good verion of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" on that one.

Savoy Truffle? That song is so lovable.

Carla Bozulich's Red Headed Stranger.

I stopped listening to new Sonic Youth albums after 1000 Leaves. I think I'll remedy that.

Oh good, I won't be going to any of those shows.

I agree. Christ probably had the worst sense of humor ever.
