PigSooie Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 More than likely, I'll be at Memphis Pizza Cafe for $2 Shiner Bock. Did you hear that Wilco is coming? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a.miller Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 anyone interested in Ryan needs to download the Manchester show right now and take a listen to this. What an amazing voice.Anyone want to put this up (again)? I had it at one time, but a computer issue has rendered it unavailable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 My girlfriend is the greatest. She really isn't into music but likes Ryan Adams since I have turned her onto him. She heard "Two" and asked me if it was "harder now that it's over" with different words. I love that girl. So there's independent confirmation that it's the same song.

Atticus Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 "two" makes me sleepy. Probably the only song I don't like on the new album. It's not that it's a bad song per se, just boring to me. I'm always looking to see what hook Ryan will throw in or which persona/voice will be singing, and there's just nothing of interest in that one for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the lyrics on halloweenhead are laughable, but with headphones on and the right mixture in the brain, I enjoy the matched guitar solo. The rest of the song I could live without, although as usual ryan puts some nice little singing stylings in there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like his attempt at a radio friendly rock song a la Weezer's "Beverly Hills."The irony is that the profanity and odd subject matter will prevent that from happening.I imagine he came up with it just fooling around in the same manner that he writes all the joke rap songs that he posts on his site. It sticks out like a sore thumb on the album to me. Seems more like a b-side/bonus track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 i like this better than "jacksonville city nights" and "29", but not "cold roses". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 It finally happened: On what would've been my third Ryan show last evening, at approx. one hour after the doors to the venue were scheduled to have opened, ushers announced to the crowd that Ryan's plane had been delayed and the the performance for the evening was cancelled. While it was probably something benign and simple like mechanical difficulties I can't help feeling disappointed since I was really looking forward to hearing the new material live. Also kinda feel as if I'm a member of the collective of concert goers out there who've experienced this kinda thing due to a myriad of circumstances connected with Ryan over the years. Hope you peeps have better luck at the upcoming gigs: Hoping for a re-schedule in Sept. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DawgSong Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 jimmy jimmy, some news for ya in this post. I left NW Georgia Wednesday morning for Louisville, one hellava show that night....may be better than the 6/29 show. Post show I had the opportunity to sharea few beers with Brad P. and John "Slider". I asked about the night before. They said all the Cards were in town but Ryan was flying in fromNY. There were in fact storms in the area and his flight was delayed. He arrived 2 hours after the show was scheduled to start. I understand theycancelled once they realized the delay was goin to be over an hour. I left L-ville Thursday and a made the long boring arse drive to G-Town. Checked in room, went straight to the G-town Commissary for my ribs and Bud then on to the show.As you may have heard a solid show, though much shorter than L-ville. RA said not a word, etc. Still worth the trip. Might as well ramble about rest my ramble. Friday morning was yet another visit/tour of Graceland. My tour companion hadn't been before.After spending too much $$$ on campy EP gifts for friends it was off to Little Rock for the weekend. My first trip to the Rock, you folks near therehave a sweet little river area. Toured the Clinton Library on Saturday as well saw The Bottle Rockets at a neat little club called Sticky Fingerz, TheChicken Shack. The Shack alone will get me back to LR to see other club level fav band of mine one day soon. All in all a great road trip, just under 1,600 milesof nothing but Smiles. The Louisville show is up an archivedotorg and the torrent is still alive at RA Archives. Grabbed it this morning dew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hey DawgSong - thanks for that update on what happened at the 7/10 show -- I had read about it the following morning, so before I took off for Louisville 7/11 I called the theater, and they were already loaded in. So off I went. And it was such a great show. I've still got "Magnolia Mountain" running through my head (I especially loved the gorgeous 5-part harmonies on that one). So glad I could grab it from the archives - it's a good one. Man, I can't seem to get enough of RA live these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
