Dirt - Lou Reed
Its been a long time, since Ive spoken to you
Was it the right time
Your current troubles, and you know, theyll get much worse
I hope you know how much you enjoy them
Youre a pig of a person, if theres a justice in this world
Hey, how about that
Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality
Well, more and more people know all about it
Do you remember that song by a dude named bobby fuller
It went like this:
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
We sat around the other night, me and the guys
Trying to find the right word
That would best fit and describe
You people like that
That no principle has touched, no principles baptized
How about that
Theyd eat shit and say it tasted good
If there was some money in it for them
Hey, you remember that song about this guy from texas
Whose name was --- bobby fuller
Ill sing it for you, it went like this:
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
Youre just dirt
Youre just dirt, the only word for you is dirt
Thats the only word that -
- hurt, youre just dirt
Thats all youre worth - cheap, cheap dirt
You know they call it -
Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt
Youre just - cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt
Youre just dirt - nothing but - cheap uptown dirt
Thats all youre worth - its just - cheap, cheap, uptown dirt
Thats all youre worth now (cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)
Youre just dirt (cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap uptown dirt)
(cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)
(cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)
(cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)

I've been missing good material from Johnny Marr since his The The days. I am liking this album a lot.

How long did Buckner play?
Did he play songs off all albums, or did he focus on his new stuff?
He played about an hour and a half. He emphasized Meadow, but a had a few from Dents and Shells and Devotion and Doubt.
-
He played with the full band in St. Louis Saturday. Six Parts finished up their set and appeared to start packing up their stuff. They disappeared and then came back when Buckner took the stage. Interesting backing band for him -- a little more subdued than the backing band on Meadow, but still good.
Was funny watching three giddy sorority girls trying to dance to Buckner. Even Beatle Bob was not going near that.

I think it's in D6.
I think you are right (D6 would be DADF#BE). That would make the fingering 1/2 step easier than what I was doing in drop D.
-
I thought it was DADF#BD (open D?)
I think the high string is E when open. I tried it in double drop D first and it didn't work.
-
I would adore anyone who could watch that video and figure out Duet #3. That would be the most incredible thing, and I know there are people on the board who are capable. Please!
It's straight drop D. Your turn.

Thanks for the articles.
Nice to hear some more of what's behind the Crane Wife.
I was a minor Decemberists fan before, but I can't get this one out of the player.

Tom Waits - The Day After Tomorrow
I got your letter today
And I miss you all so much, here
I can't wait to see you all
And I'm counting the days, dear
I still believe that there's gold
At the end of the world
And I'll come home
To Illinois
On the day after tomorrow
It is so hard
And it's cold here
And I'm tired of taking orders
And I miss old Rockford town
Up by the Wisconsin border
But I miss you won't believe
Shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch tomorrow
On the day after tomorrow
I close my eyes
Every night
And I dream that I can hold you
They fill us full of lies
Everyone buys
About what it means to be a soldier
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
About all the blood that's been spilled
Look out on the street
Get me back home
On the day after tomorrow
You can't deny
The other side
Don't want to die
Any more than we do
What I'm trying to say,
Is don't they pray
To the same God that we do?
Tell me, how does God choose?
Whose prayers does he refuse?
Who turns the wheel?
And who throws the dice
On the day after tomorrow?
Mmmmmmm...
I'm not fighting
For justice
I am not fighting
For freedom
I am fighting
For my life
And another day
In the world here
I just do what I've been told
You're just the gravel on the road
And the one's that are lucky
One's come home
On the day after tomorrow
And the summer
It too will fade
And with it comes the winter's frost, dear
And I know we too are made
Of all the things that we have lost here
I'll be twenty-one today
I've been saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
And my plane it will touch down
On the day after tomorrow

Buckner/Bachman played the Lou tonight. Buckner is on his game. Meadow is great and he must have played 4-5 track off of it. He is solo with Doug Gillard formerly of Guided by Voices on guitar, who adds a tasty color/counterpoint to Mr. Buckner.
Would have liked to see him come out once more for an encore . . . . but . . . .?

I saw Lucinda and Pettibone earlier this year play it. He played it onsomething that looked like an electric mando with 8 or more strings. Had a very jangly sound.
As for a tab of the riff or riffs, I can't help you. Sorry.

pap
. . . in my opinion.

Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages
My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
Come sit down on my knee
You are dearer to me than myself
As you yourself can see

2nd vote for Live at the Old Quarter.
Yep, start with Live at the Old Quarter. Rear View Mirror is a good live overview too.

Has anyone heard the new Orange combos? I wasn't even aware that they still made amps, but I saw a 30 and a 50 watt combo at a music store the other day. They were very pricey; can't remember exactly how much, but it was certainly more than a new AC-30 is going for.
If you are talking about the Orange AD-30TC, I've got one and love it. Can't help you with the Rockerverb, but word is they are more versatile. Pricewise, the AD-30TC is on par with a new AC-30 with the Celestion Blue speakers (about $1500-1600 new).

At least as long as I have been watching, I think this is as far as we have gotten on that topic here:
Anyone want to run with it?

Wow, funny I was just thinking about that last night. Uncanny.
I concluded awhile ago that he was using an open G (DBDGBD - low to high), but then I recalled seeing somewhere that he was using a variation on open G . I could not find that in relation to the lap steel, but I found this in an interview with respect to open tuning on standard guitar:
"The guitar I’ve played on virtually everything for the past nine years is a ’59 Jazzmaster,” says Cline. “It still has the original pickups and hardware, but just about everything else has been replaced. I also play a Jerry Jones 12-string and a Baritone, as well as a candy-apple red ’66 Fender Electric XII, and a Hagstr

The most famous example of it I know of is in the Stones' "Wild Horses."
I have not found the time to hunt down extra strings and restring to try it though.

Shubbs are great. They take a bit longer to put on than a Kyser and you can't leave them clamped to the headstock like a Kyser, but they really center well on the fret and clamp snugly.
Whats your favorite "fuck you" song?
in Someone Else's Song
Posted
Nice version from the demented female viewpoint, but I always looked at it as more of a "fuck who" song as opposed to a "fuck you" song. "Fuck you" is well repesented by EC though. Tramp the Dirt Down is a favorite.
