jakobnicholas Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Love her. I think I first heard her when I heard OP8, which was essentially Calexico with Lisa Germano. There was one song that just slayed me: "Crackling Water." It still does, in fact. I too love that OP8 record. Crackling Water is awesome. I always hoped OP8 would make a 2nd record....a great collection of musicians. If you like "If I Think of Love" and "It's A Rainbow", you'd like most of her solo stuff. For me, "Excerpts From a Love Circus" and "Happiness" are her 2 best records. "Geek the Girl" is good also, but even darker than the other 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The Powerstation is .... and the power nearly always craps out Anyone else find this painfully ironic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KansasAl Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Fantasy world: After a successful tour Ed O'Brien invites Jeff Tweedy and co. back to Radiohead's private studio where Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood are hanging out and they all casually bang out the best album of 2009.I just got dizzy at your fantasy. I like the way you think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shiralee Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The Powerstation is pretty small ........ I'll be coming over from Melbourne for all three shows. Can you tell me if the venue is seated or standing? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcroach Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Love her. I think I first heard her when I heard OP8, which was essentially Calexico/Giant Sand with Lisa Germano. There was one song that just slayed me: "Crackling Water." It still does, in fact. I need to pick that album up... my old roommate was the one that had the hard copy of this one. Kevin I remember Lisa from her work with John Mellencamp back in the late 80s/early 90s. I'm letting my Hoosier-ness show! She played on The Lonesome Jubilee, Big Daddy, Whenever We Wanted and Human Wheels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I believe that Lisa Germano's father was my Hoosier girlfriend's orchestra/band teacher (or something like that). I saw Lisa as part of Neil's band in 2003. Rhett Miller was the opener. That was quite a show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Gyrrr Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I like Neil Finn also and imagine he'll do a good share of writing, but I'm hoping for various combinations of writers and singers. For example, I'd LOVE to hear a Lisa Germano/Jeff Tweedy collaboration. I think Germano's one of the more unknown and under-rated music artists. It would be a crime if she doesn't get to be the featured singer on at least track....she's got a great voice. me too. I'm thinking these shows are gonna need to be 5 hours long to fit everybody in. Everyone should come. The NZ dollar is down to about 54 US cents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kungfuonion Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 the interview did say that each night would be more like a revue, and the shows should be fairly different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 He looked like he kicked off his jet lag for a recording session with a triple espresso and a joint. I bet that is a fun place to be hanging out right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Gyrrr Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I always get a little embarrassed when I see tv interviews of bands visiting New Zealand. "So what do you think of New Zealand?" " Well I've been here for about five minutes after being in the air for fourteen hours..." Shesh, every time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

orchestra Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The first live show ended a while back. It finally happened. Wilco covered Radiohead. Jeff sang Fake Plastic Trees, making this comment beforehand: "this is going to be like Paul Rodgers fronting Queen." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/ne...jectid=10550623 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
