Damn, that Legacy edition is a steal - I had to make 3 separate purchases back in the day. Super well worth it though.
Artists that don't wear out - Richard Thompson. Who's an RT super freak? I'm specifically looking towards in… -
Besides Grizzly Man Richard Thompson did a soundtrack called Sweet Talker that was really good. I have no idea what the movie was, never saw it. Got it on cassette out of a bargain bin.

Pat Metheny, thank you, and Bill Frisell, I was beginning to feel like Ken Burns all over again - jazz without guitars. Just to throw out a few names from my jaundiced perspective:
Django Reinhardt
Charlie Christian
Lonnie Johnso… -
The hustle is sooooo 70's.

As to the impact of recent changes on downloading habits I was thinking my Kinks project is a good illustration. Basically, love the Kinks and would think any song is worth a spin as a potential good one, so I've been collecting all the available s…

Found an interesting album over there, Men In Black - The Johnny Cash Sound that seems to be part tribute album, p…

8. It is a Twin Turd-Free Zone.

On Refresh day, I hit the SFL but am often distracted by new things thrown in my path by rec's I see or the MYL or a quick peek at the freshly ripped - basically Disorganized Schizophrenia with Compulsive tendencies.
Then there's the ong… -
All I can say is that when I hear Von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic doing Beethoven's Ninth or Mozart's 41th I can always tell it's them. Something about their style. Just for the record I have Beethoven's Sixth by Otto Kempler and the Vienn…

Only Fascist Pigs hate the Dead! Hey, wait a minute....who said that? Are you talking to me?
-
That's the spirit. Now say it like you mean it.
-
Well, my greedy little eyes are spinning in their sockets, as I have been browsing the selections 'over there" on the JSP Records/The Orchard label. There are obscene numbers of discs and multi-disc sets (conveniently broken into A, B, C, D …
-
Now Hot Tuna I like. Saw their first NYC show at the Fillmore East, just Jack and Jorma, but not too many people knew who they (actually) were yet, so we had bought nosebleed seats but attendance was sparse so everyone got to move down to the first…

"I like the Grateful Dead. Always have, always will."
Come on, this is supposed to be Fight Club, why so vanilla?
Deadheads do present too easy a target, stereotypically speaking. I mean, how are you supposed to let a… -
Interesting. I have a copy of the photo that's based on above my desk at work that I got out of the Village Voice years ago, nicely laminated with packing tape. It's says....outlaw, rebel, and if you don't like it, well, you know.
I ca… -
You know you can get the audio version of that Imogen Heap/Jeff Beck song, Blanket, as a freebie at Amazon. Last I saw it was #30 on the list of 500 free songs they have there - love that song. Jeff plays phenomenal backup on that track. The DVD …

Jools Holland has a number of CDs out with his Big Band I believe it's called that are nice R&B type records, with a lot of great guests on them. I bought the first on a whim years ago and was very pleased with it, and the other 2 also.
-
Motorhead - did get a couple of albums from that other place. First 3 with Fast Eddie are still my favorites.
Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Lee Scott's.
And I am making a determined effort to go through my various Label collections, mostly b… -
68, never been to California, but basically I hate "Wow, Man, let's share" hippies, because what they really mean is "let me have some of yours, man". It's an emotionally developmentally challenged narcissistic lifestyle that just got so tired. O…
-
All right, then. You want it that way? My friend Simon Chardiet wrote and released a song called " I'd Be Grateful If You Were Dead", (well before Jerry passed away, relax) AND I loved it. It was actually more about the hippie shuffle danc…
-
Never mind. I get him confused with Julian Sands.
-
This will be my last word on Sarah, I promise, but there is a video/DVD release, the name might also be Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, not 100% on that, a live show from that era, and in the studio cuts like the Tom Waits cover from the Freedom Sessions,…
-
I also hate licorice.
I started this thread as an evolution from the Worn Out thread because I figured it might be controversial enough to warrant Fight Club. I do mean to try someday to see if my impressions of the Dreadful Grate still… -
Never really dug the Eagles either - a couple of OK songs but I don't own any.
I'm starting my next comment in Fight Club. -
For Sarah McLachlan I would go for Fumbling Towards Ecstasy which was really her breakout release, and I think still her best by far. Amazing sounding CD, which I would get the hard copy - there are nuances I find harder to appreciate when I listen…

Those two can be the new Chip and Dale, sniffing glue and drinking T-Bird.

Me, exceedingly cautious about web exposure, and cyber-terrorism, but here goes....
Dave....that was a poser, I'll bet.
First 45 - The Battle Of New Orleans by Johnny Horton.
First LP - Yesterday and Today - the Beatles.

I've got some phantom numbers too - at least the ones I deleted stayed deleted now. Too bad it's been so many weeks I can't remember which ones I downloaded from the recent ones without checking my music files. Too much booster crack addles the br…

You could always stay in Stealth Mode- downloading in the middle of night and stealing away before the break of day. Believe it or not I was a member for like 3 years before I even realized there was a Message Board.

Procol Harum - both Procol Harum and A Salty Dog. Shine On Brightly is so intense I have to feel a little edgier for it.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here and believe it or nuts, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.
