Uh, good? I'm glad you enjoyed the show, KD. :)

Atto, I love the Goldberg Variations...
Ha, not exactly festive or seasonal music you're listening to there, KD. Sorry about your ears. :(
For his solo debut, ex-McCoy Rick Derringer comes on like a heavy metal David Cassidy, all blow-dried hair and skin-tight flares, the ultimate teen idol, a proto-Owen Wilson in glam threads.
Unlike anything else in Lou's catalog, this album is one mind-altering necessity of life. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner's geetars reverberate with the sound of a bar being raised.
Lou Reed looks Gary Neuman in that picture. And I love Tubeway Army.

You know RA, I've never been much of a Patti Smith fan outside of her cover of "Gloria." "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine..." That line alone made me want to go to confession.
I once saw her perusing the lunch meat section at a Farmer Jack store on the east side back in the 80's when she was living in St. Clair Shores (suburb of Detroit), but stopped short of actually talking to her.

I think Patti Smith is overrated too, honestly, but the film still looked like your kind of thing:)
I keep hearing good things about Lucero, by the way, Gretchen...
Mod
What was I thinking???"
Please tell me you put that on the shebang. please, please, please.
However, I won't know until the lazy Fort Collins mail lady gets around to delivering mine next year.
Sally, I didn't put "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" on this shebang, but it IS on a CD I made for myself of 70s stuff I remember as a kid. There's also Carpenters on there, and Elton John, and some Neil Sedaka. Do you want a copy?
Mod
Ha, Sally, I love your enthusiasm. Okay, the CD is yours, but you can't say I didn't warn you. :)
Apparently Vic Chesnutt is in a coma and may have tried to commit suicide:http://network.nationalpost.com/np/bl...
Man, I hate this. Vic Chesnutt is an American treasure.
Tom Waits Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards)
Sadly, Vic Chesnutt did die. He overdosed on muscle relaxants and fell into a coma before dying.
I wasn't a big fan of his, but I dug his music, and admired the hell out of him for carrying on despite his handicap. It takes a lot of courage to keep carrying on and pursuing your craft despite your physical limitations. At least he's not suffering anymore.

RIP. I loved Vic. Jack Rose also died recently. Seems like we're losing all the great ones lately.
Interesting. I'm even digging the album cover for the "Turkish Jimi Hendrix."
Any thoughts on what you've heard so far, KD?

I'm listening to Behind Enemy Lines...one could teach politics by playing their songs. What an amazing band!
Drive-by Truckers. I actually listened to their music after discovering how funny Jason Isbell was.
Okay...I just saw that I was to list the next five shuffle songs....fun fun!1. Back to Me-Kathleen Edwards
2. She Towers Above-Alejandro Escovedo
3. Gardening at Night-REM
4. Shellshock-New Order
5. Here We Go Again-Justin Townes Earle
Oh, I know he did! I am behind the curve. :)
Hold the fucking phone, Vanessa. Is that Ketch Secor in your Avatar?!?!
Why, yes, Gretchen, it certainly is. Thank you for noticing. Also, I will gladly hold the phone. I got two old school rotary phones for Christmas. I guess I need some sort of phone display shelf now.
Well I'm jealous! Do you know him? Did you meet him at a show? How do you know how funny Jason Isbell is? Are you someone important who I can befriend and meet cute singers with? (not that he's cute)
Oh, Gretchen! If only I was that cool. I live in rural Ok,which should tell you something. I've met Ketch at concerts a handful of times. He was always just randomly about before or after. He's a very nice man. He never calls security when I start rambling. As for Jason Isbell...I briefly was on The Twitter and encountered him there. He would make random and amusing comments from time to time. I should have made something more interesting up to tell you....
That's ok. I'm still impressed. How tall is Ketch Secor?

Listened to this great bootleg of a Who concert from 1973, Tales From The Who.
[image error]
Recorded live at the Philadelphia Spectrum on December 4th, 1973, it's a must-own bootleg of the band. I'm sure Clark's got this one, and if he doesn't, tsk tsk!

I'm listening to the super-awesome Tift Merritt's Another Country, including this song...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p84xx3...
I'm listening to U2.

Got it on vinyl. No surprise there, eh? They were touring behind "Quadrophenia" for the first time and plagued by cock-ups with the back-up tapes. Not here, though.
Peformance: 9.0
Sound Quality: Far from an audiophile experience.

Another good one. Studio and live rarities, "rare" being a relative term now but not at its time of release (mid 70's). Cool cover, though.

My good friend Pete used to torture me with "Wonderwall." And every other Beatles album ever foisted on a gullible and unsuspecting public. I returned the favor with this:

That's The Who.

I drank The Who's beer once. It was regular beer, not creepy at all.
The Replacements' Tim is a classic of our times, KD I love me that record.
This could get embarrassing...1.A thread cut with a carving knife-Stars
2.London half life-Metric
3.American Woman-The guess who
4.Beautiful freak-Eels
5.Lovers in love-Portugal.the man
Any list with eels on it is NOT embarrassing!

Finally, they nail it. Eight tracks of juddering, rollicking, feelgood rock, capped by my favorite Quo song, album closer "Forty Five Hundred Times." Makes you wanna jump out of your chair and pose back-to-back with the lamp stand.
Exciting stuff, a party record no Saturday night should be without. Johnny Thunders and Walter Lure were, quite simply, the most menacing and insane guitar tandem back in the late 70's despite being so high they had to call NASA to find their heads.

Nothing embarassing about #3, but I'm old. Proceed with caution.
