Looks like you can stream the new album here: http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Ryan%20Adams

The last album I really liked was One on One. I've always thought "Saturday at Midnight" would be an interesting cover song, either as is for a band like Modest Mouse or the Killers, or for Warren Haynes or the Chili Peppers with a funky wah-wah sound. I still have Dream Police and Budokon on vinyl.

This was big album from my childhood. Don't forget the early Matt Dillon movie, Over the Edge, used Surrender and a few other Cheap Trick songs.

>I did notice whenever there was a big change in the direction of the music coming Phil would speak into his microphone (as he does with P&F) and then the chords/tempo would change. It's fascinating to watch Phil direct the band through the silent microphone. I'd love to hear a SBD recording of a Phil show that includes Phil's comments to the band. In an interview a while back, Larry Campbell said he was waiting for a cue from Phil during a jam and Phil's guidance was something like, "We're all afloat at sea."

>And Clarence did the solo on "Jungleland". All else is forgiven. To add some factual background on the Jungleland solo, from the NY Times review of Wings for Wheels: Still, Mr. Appel might have inadvertently helped Mr. Springsteen finally complete "Born to Run." Mr. Appel had booked a tour assuming that the album would be finished. According to Mr. Landau, the last possible day of recording before the band hit the road was a marathon in which Mr. Springsteen and the saxophonist Clarence Clemons pondered every note of Mr. Clemons's saxophone solo in "Jungleland" for some 16 hours. "Tha

>I've seen the big man play with the JGB and, although he isn't David Murray, he can get outside. Check out the "Don't Let Go" from Alpine 9/89 - crazy stuff. I used to have a tape of Clarence with JGB from Great Woods in Sept 89. Clarence killed it for me. He must have played the same 5 or 6 notes over and over. He had no ability to improvise anything interesting. It was like the saxophone equivalent of a bass player playing nothing but the root note all night. That exposed Clarence to me as a being little more than product of Bruce's music and direction.

>I can't believe I'm the first one but.... Clarence Clemmens Yes, and amazingly he is far and away the most beloved by the fans, which I don't understand. He's played the same solos note for note for thirty years, many of which Bruce wrote for him.

He must be related to someone at the network. Nicholson impersonations should be outlawed.

Greil Marcus's review from bn.com: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/bn-review/no...p?note=19470102 >But as a fan's privately pressed compendium of Dylan's 31 1993 live performances of the folk song "Jim Jones" (from Good as I Been to You) makes plain -- as over nine months the song's melody swallows its words, its words spur a new force in its rhythm, and finally the rhythm turns toward abstraction, and the song's narrator, a prisoner sent from London to the hellhole of 19th-century Australia, becomes a figment of his own imagination, his own landlocked Flying Dutchman) -- there is no end to

>A lot of the stuff that was done w/ P & F when Chris was with them in the fall and winter of '05 was fantastic, too. Sless and Mookie Siegel were in the band then, too. Lots of highlights in that configuration. That version of P&F did a fantastic version of Just Another Whistle Stop.

>Finished this last night. So...The Beatles basically hated each other from 1967 on. If you were to read one Beatles book in your life, would this be it? Some reviews of it have suggested that.

>i assume everyone has heard what the band sounded like without robbie robertson? you'd have thought the others wouldn't have needed him seeing as they helped write all the songs, and that evil robbie went and took all the credit (except, it would appear, on about 2 or 3 songs of every album - very cunning of him, to give them credit on a couple so as not to arouse suspicion!) Barney Hoskyns devotes quite a bit about this topic in Across the Great Divide. The impression you get about the first few albums is that while Robbie was writing songs, the others were partying and horsing around.

That's it. Brilliant writing. The writers must have been laughing hysterically writing that scene, and the outtakes, if there are any, are probably great, too.

The comments about Kelly standing on the chair were priceless.

Yes, that's a great show. It was one of my first Wilco boots. I believe that was Jay Bennett's last show.

http://www.salon.com/books/int/2008/09/24/klosterman/ "AC/DC did the same album over and over again," he says at one point, "and I love AC/DC, but I don't want to be Angus Young. I want to be Jeff Tweedy." As every 30-something nerd-disguised-as-hipster knows, Jeff Tweedy is the much-adored frontman for Wilco, a gifted singer-songwriter who could have spent a (lucrative) career crafting perfect three-minute pop songs but decided to dissect them instead, upending (if only temporarily) his own career with the controversial and brilliant 2002 album, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."

>who's brave enough to tell me their fav Scarlet/Fire's I've always enjoyed 3/22/90 from Copps Coliseum. The segue is nearly seemless. The Believe It Or Not, played live only a handful of times, is very nice as well.

I was lucky enough to catch 5 of the 6 shows, during which the boys
