Sorry to be late to the game but any chance I could get PM'd an MP3 of Unlikely Japan?

thanks!

Looking for 1 or 2 for Portland, 1 is really fine.

Thanks!

Sounds sort of like a power pop version of the national.

going to be in town tonight regardless but won't be able to check my email after around 3

if you have two let me know (203) 984 7685

i grew up in westport, ct (newmans hometown)

i used to work at a grocery store in town, i helped him pick out melons. he then proceeded to tell me that i was bad at picking out melons and told me that he owned some melon farms in california. then showed me the right way to pick out melons. it was an odd experience.

i love his food products/acting

so awesome

just looked at the tanglewood website for the lenox, ma show and it lists andrew bird as the opener. could he be playing a bunch of shows?

thought they did a pretty excellent job. horns were awesome on hate it here. walken was probably a good choice given the setting. i thought the band sounded pretty good considering how bad the sound mix can be at SNL. oh and jeff's jacket on walken was straight pimpin.

2 NYC, 1 Philly, 1 DC and no Boston Dates! I am pissed.

should i delete Edwards from the poll? those who voted for him will be able to revote i think

 

 

 

the sad thing is... i won't, and i doubt i'm alone

If it was McCain - Clinton, Huckabee - Clinton, or Romney - Clinton it would be put me in a real tough spot but I'd still have to go for Hillary on all three counts.

having only played that shitty game once, i'd be inclined to say that Impossible Germany would be the best fit.

i agree with all of this

real nice tab thanks alot

any other tasty open D tunes floating around?

It's really quite good.

 

It's surprising the extent Thompson (Frank Black) allowed the cameras insight into his personal life.

The film does a great job of allowing us in on the interpersonal relationships and dynamics, or lack thereof, within the band and the Deal sisters.

 

It doesn't make the attempt to take a comprehensive look at the music and history of the group. What it does is it focuses on that period where they all come together again.

 

Never really rejoiceful (there are light happy moments with fans outside of venues) it's peppered throughout with darker moments that allude to the distance between band members and precarious lives that some of them lead.

I saw this movie and enjoyed the insight into the politics of the band but overall was pretty bored by the whole thing, and I am a pretty big Pixies fan, at least, I was.

I'm all for this. When global warming kills off all of our crops and other natural resources, I'm going to be hungry for some synthetic human flesh.

So i think I'm going to go with an Epiphone Sherton II. Its a semi-hollow and has decent sustain. I'll probably swap out the pick ups eventually but for now should be just fine.

Should be picking it up Sunday or Monday...I am super excited.

I like pretty much all of their albums and am definitely pumped for this one. I think i read something a few weeks ago about there being strong gospel influences? I'm not sure, but it should be amazing.

some of the other videos from that same filming are pretty awesome, there is an amazing version of someone else's song.

also, i think its really funny that people are crowd surfing at a wilco show.

So I went to guitar center today just to try a bunch of stuff out and learned a couple of things.

I am going to have to stay away from hollow bodies as nice as they are on the eyes. I played a Casino which played very nice but just didn't have enough sustain for what Im doing.

I played a tele thinline and was actually surprisingly pleased with it.

I played some SGs, including the faded special. Didnt really do much for me, the necks seemed a lot wider than on my Epi model. None of them had the feel that I was looking for (or that I was used to with my epi SG).

This weekend I am going to check out some boutique shops in town and see if I can play some Eastwoods, etc.

By the way I am in Boston, anyone have any nice shops to go to? I'm going to hit up nitro tone music co. in Harvard Square. Any other suggestions?

No, sir, I have not. Last time I ordered thru pre-sale the tickets came about two weeks before the show.

oh good thats quite a relief

have any you guys got your tickets yet? i ordered my from the presale.

RE: Post above.

jhh4321, A cheap Korean made Gretsch Electromatic is actually a good pick if you can afford to replace the stock pickups a little ways down the road.

Course, it's not like your old SG Epi, and it wont sustain like a solidbody.

I was considering something like this for sure. Also anyone know anything about Airline Guitars? I was looking at the Airline 2P-DLX. Thanks for all the responses guys, keep them coming, I'm going to head down to the shop tomorrow and try a few out.

Ok so my band was playing some shows in Ohio and my guitar got stolen, back window of our car smashed and guitars are gone. It is tragic, it was just an epiphone g400 but it played like any gibson and had infinite sentimental value.

The good part about this is I get to buy a new guitar guilt free.

So heres my situation, I dont know much about gear but some people around here do.

I play through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with little to no effects (some times i use a boss distortion but thats about it) and intend to keep that way.

In my band I play an equal amount of rhythm and lead parts. I need a guitar that is versatile tone wise but can definitely play fat thick leads (like my old epi sg).

My favorite guitarists (and their respective tones) include Neil Young, Jeff, J Mascis, and Lee Renaldo.

Price range is pretty low but since my 400 dollar SG did me just fine for 6 years I dont see a reason to go above 700.

This may be TMI but I need some good recommendations, so lets have at it gear heads.

My fav:

 

that ones really nice

heres a few more j4 pieces that i like a lot:

Even the ones who weren't technically "elected?"

That was my first question after seeing that as well but it was hard to tell, they are really small.
