Gus,
Re: the sound. Did they simply boost the treble a bit or tinker with it a bit more?
Bonus tracks? If so, anything worth owning it for?

i'm still worshipping that one too
janine wrote: "i hadn't listened to the divine comedy before, but it's really fun and good."I recommend the album Casanova, with the songs "Something for the Weekend" and "Charge". Fun, as you said.
Clark, the tinkering that Bob Clearmountain did is very subtle. He didn't mess with the original mix, which is good; cleaning the sound up would have meant diluting the murkiness of the original recording, which is what's so attractive in the first place. If anything, Exile sounds even more intimate than before. Oh, and Charlie's drums on Rip This Joint sound like an F-14 during takeoff.
The bonus tracks are very good. Hearing Keith do the vocals on Soul Survivor is quite interesting, and this version just might be better than the version on Exile.
The only beef I have is the shoddy CD booklet. 12 pages of pictures, no liner notes...meh.

just downloaded Exile...it is great. Anyone like Jack White and his latest Dead Weather?

I - cough - "acquired" a bootleg remix of "Exile" - "Main Street Revisited" - several years back that is simply amazing.

When I went to pay for several magazines, a "Junie B. Jones" book, and the latest installment in the neverending "Warriors" saga at Barnes and Noble, the sullen teen manning the register threw all caution to the wind and pegged me as someone who might enjoy this compilation which apparently became unstuck from the latest issue of Brit-centric music publication "Uncut" which, much like "Mojo," remains unhealthily enamored with both the Beatles AND Bob Dylan. So I took it off his hands.
On the way home and a minute or two into the opening track - MC5's "Sister Anne" - the kids were screaming for mercy, oxygen, and air sickness bags, the fruit of my loins' fragile systems ill equipped to handle anything deviating from the cozy confines of lame pop-rap, virgin tweens warbling about carnality, or the latest Disney Channel cash-grab/sit-com tie-in.
I’m older and maybe even a little nicer now (despite what Lilith Fair ticketholders may say) and pretty much done with nightclubs or any place where there are likely to be crowds or dancing, but I still occasionally have my moments. Here's several of them.

This reminds me, I came home yesterday to both my oldest sons listening to Ozzy's "Crazy Train". When I inquired they said "Ozzy's a really good artist." I didn't know what to say, as I was worried that if I said, "Yeah, Diary of a Madman is a great album" I would scare them off and they'd go back to listening to Matchbox20 or that girl from ICarly. Later they were listening to Metallica. Thank you, Pandora.I don't listen to anymore about Bob Dylan, either, but I don't hate him, and I appreciate the fact he's bonkers.

The other day, my daughter was moshing in her car seat to Rob Zombie's Dragula. I could not have been any prouder of my daughter at that moment.

The closest my daughters come to that is chanting along with the chorus of AC/DC's "T.N.T." or the into to the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop." It's entirely possible they may have been Hitler youth in a previous life.
Baby steps...

Nah, she can't do his voice. But, hot damn, she was doing that foot stomp and head bang like a seasoned pro.
I'm listening to the new Hold Steady. I heard bad reviews but I like it.
Really? Metacritic gave the Hold Steady's new album a score of 75 based on 33 reviews, so the reviews have been positive.
I haven't picked it up yet, though.

Nah, Gus, these were informal reviews from people I know, and one of my friends said one of the Chicago reviewers didn't like the disc, but I listened a slew of times in a row this morning and except for a weak opener the rest of the album is strong and interesting. THS are one of those bands that could be in danger of sounding the same all the time but they avoid that pretty well here.
I see that Hanson has a new CD out. Anyone heard it yet? Here's "Thinking 'Bout Somethin" from the album, performed on the George Lopez show a few days ago.

Just shut up, okay? Don't you judge me!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Gus, you're awesome. And crazy.
That's because I DON'T GIVE A CRAP. Plus, I love the attention. What a shock!
I'm listening to the new Stars...The Five Ghosts...quite good, really.

I wouldn't judge you. Hell, bonus points would accrue if you'd listened to it on vinyl.

Janine, what do you think? I really like that three song sequence in the middle that starts with "I Died So I Can Haunt You." I've been listening to the same sequence over and over again so I can't comment on the rest yet.
i'm listening to it again, maybe i will have an answer to your question later.
Janine, I like that whole sequence with "I Died So I Could Haunt You", "Fixed", and "I Don't Want Your Body"...
yes, all three of them are good, but 'we don't want your body' is my favorite. now snap out of that cycle and listen to the rest! there are eight more songs on there.
Days of the New- Weapon and the WoundEscape the Fate- Cellar Door
Alter Bridge- Rise Today
The Rasmus & Apocalyptica- Life Burns
Buck Cherry- Crazy Bitch
The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony
Rehab- Sittin at a bar
Paula Cole- Sunny Came Home
Disturbed- Stupified
That's a great album, Janine. In fact, there's a Wolf Parade song from that album on my latest Shebang.
