I'm a jar Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Don't forget Dan Murphy.... I didn't forget Dan, I do not believe he is on the tour. I assume he is busy with the Soul Asylum tour. By the way if anyone cares, I did see Soul Asylum this summer, and they were great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loraaw Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) I didn't forget Dan, I do not believe he is on the tour. I assume he is busy with the Soul Asylum tour. By the way if anyone cares, I did see Soul Asylum this summer, and they were great! Dan was at the two shows already played this year - and those dates don't seem to conflict w/SA shows. I can't imagine them playing without him. He's faaaaaaar more a part of the current lineup of GS than Jeff. -Laura Edited August 10, 2006 by loraaw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're right about Jeff, not much input on this record unlike the past two.... Would be a treat for him to at least make an appearance though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Soul Asylum doesn't have any dates scheduled during this tour, so I'd be surprised if Dan's not there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smokestack Joe Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 im sort of disappointed with Jeff's involvement with Golden Smog. i know he is busy (so is everyone else in the band). Im just disappointed because GS sort of took him in after Uncle Tupelo separated. He was doing GS before/during Wilco was formed and A.M. was being recorded. GS was a new beginning for him and maybe it helped with the band split up. Hopefully, he wouldnt let those feelings go aside. But time goes on and things change.

McWilco Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 So the Golden Smog show is tomorrow night. I'm hoping Jeff makes at least a cameo, but it would be great if he played with them all night. Anyone else going? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I am...lots of other folks will be there too I am sure. I suspect they planted the rumor in the paper yesterday that Jeff would be there to sell tickets. As far as I know, this show is not sold out. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rrnate Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I'm not much for the new Golden Smog CD. Does anyone else notice that the band is now essentially The Jayhawks? I'm amused that the Jayhawks "broke up", and then this CD comes out. I like Gary Louris, but something has gone awry with his lyrics...case in point - that "Corvette" song. Ugh. "Long Time Ago" is pretty good...I could use a few more of those. I was suprised when Tweedy ended up having such limited involvement...it seems like his songwriting is swinging around to this type of band. --nt-- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The album really isn't that good and I was really let down by it. In a year of great music, this one is a major lowpoint. It also could have used more Jeff on it as the songs he is in are the highlights for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rzback543 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 didnt go, but here is what I got from another board Tweedy played with Golden Smog in Chicago tonight! Some of the highlights:Long Time Ago (Gary and Jeff duet)Radio King (Gary and Jeff duet)Lost Love with the entire Vic Theatre seemingly singing along. Jeff looked like he was having a ball when he played with them, but on a lot of the new stuff, he deferred to the other guys and just walked around clapping, or even just left the stage altogether. The band was really slick and polished except for when Tweedy would play along on songs he didn't know (normally just staring at Danny Murphy and playing along). Then the band would get sloppy, they'd all smile and look like they were having a blast. A fantastically fun night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sidewalkserfergirl Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 louris didn't write corvette did he? i though that was a perlman song It was written by the band for a car commercial...not sure who had the most hand in it but it sounds a lot like a Dan Murphy type song. "Jumpin' Jack Flash" was ultimately used in the commercial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patrickhayes Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I thought it was a Cheap Trick song that ended up in the car ad. Which would explain the Cheap Trickiness of the song a bit. As far as Golden Smog being an analog for the Jayhawks thats just crazy. They had more jayhawks members on Weird Tales then they do on this one, And Kraig hasn't been a Jayhawk for about 7 years so its the same two dudes from the 'hawks in the Smog.
