[Ladt]

The national. Anyone heard these guys? Saw them at Reading. Pretty good.

[larry]

I can't dig that guy's voice.

[Ladt]

Definitely an aquired voice. He's so amazing live though. SO intense.

[larry]

i don't usually like any of those deep or low, or whatever you'd say, voices...I'm pretty much a real turd about stuff like that....

bob dylan 'no direction home' 2xCD

oh my gawd! this is so great! it's like you've got alternate reality versions of the better parts of 'bringing it all back home', 'hwy 61' & 'blonde on blonde'...

i'm pretty damn excited about the film, too. only three weeks!

[larry]

I've been pretty unimpressed by that....I need to listen to it more...

[jedd]

No acknowledging No Direction Home!! Makes time go too slow.

I'm am totally in love with this Telluride DVD. Some of the greatest musicians in the world at their most creative, sponteneous and adventurous. It's too beautiful for words.

there are some psychedelic drugs at work during this show, i'm certain of it... this 'dark star' is about as far out as it gets (some of the space is the most abstract, primordial shit ever heard durning a dead show) but the 'eyes' is a bright & refreshing sunburst after the storm...

[janitor x]

I've been pretty unimpressed by that....I need to listen to it more...

skip disc one & go straight to disc two... i'm really getting into it. highlights: the shambling, full-band 'visions of johanna' and the raw & blistering 'maggie's farm' from the infamous electric set at newport. i wish they would have released that whole set, actually.

I haven't heard that one, but every single show I've ever heard from fall '73 has been outstanding.

[janitor x]

lexo... december of '73 is a good month for you. donna was out preggers for a lot of that late fall/early winter stuff that year (she's not on dix pix 1, for instance).

let me tell you, this dark star is heavy. it's been my favorite since the first time i heard it on the gdh waaaaay back when. it starts out of a tuning & drifts for nearly 20 minutes before they even get around to the 'dark star' theme.

no. it was a young dude from "summerland" (whatever that may be) going into three chicks' rooms...pretty good...he picked the best-looking one....well, she was a tad thick, but it ain't all about looks, after all....

Great album for that. When I'm in the mood to listen to it, it's the only album that fits that exact mood - if that makes any sense.

Somehow, I think they're gonna be boring as fuck at Arthurfest. Hushed music doesn't often fare well outdoors.

big-time fantastic record

could be, but the second time i saw them was in a packed, smokey bar that was LOUD with conversation & they totally stilled the place.

plus, maybe they'll be playing at dusk. which would be just exactly perfect.

it sucks, 'cause i need to leave by 7pm (8 at the latest) on monday nite to get home in time to put up my houseguests, the Retribution Gospel Choir!

I'm bailing Monday after Comets. Fuck Chan Power, Spoon, and YO-KO.

Are the RGC really staying with you? They're playing here, in the OC, on Thurs the 8th. Right next door to Anarosannagazno's apt. I hear they're gonna be loud.

yep. i know alan from back in my duluth days (i'm even credited with stomping my feet on a low record, i shit you not). i've heard a bunch of RGC demos and man are they good! they'll be loud, for sure... alan's really been getting into guitar solos lately & i'm sure the inclusion of kozelek will do nothing but encourage that.

and speaking of drummers who can pound ~ala corsano or even rashied ali~ eric pollard from the 'choir (i've never asked him if he's related to bob!) can really kick shit around!

Don't know how I'll feel so shortly after Afest, but that gig may be worth catching. Plus, it's local and costs $8.

[larry]

what are we talking about, here?

[janitor x]

Don't know how I'll feel so shortly after Afest, but that gig may be worth catching. Plus, it's local and costs $8.

do it! they will rock. this kozelek-with-the-RGC thing is probably going to be a one-shot affair, i think. they don't really have any plans to record or do it again after this brief tour (though the 'choir is working on a record). and plus, you'll be leaving arthurfest early the day before, leaving you more mental room to digest live music...

[janitor x]

what are we talking about, here?

insularity. what are your opinions on it?

[larry]

no seriously...is this some new band with alan from low?

[janitor x]

no seriously...is this some new band with alan from low?

yep. the retribution gospel choir. more rock, less mope!

[larry]

huh...I'm not really a fan of the idea of rocking more in low...although I love the songs on the latest record....the one before it was not my cup of meat...

interesting...I wasn't being a dick, I just hadn't heard of that.

it actually ends up being totally different from low, enough that if you didn't know who alan was you wouldn't connect the two. the 'choir is good but in their own not-at-all-like-low way.

[larry]

that's cool...but if you guys are saying the dude from the red house painters is in it, I'd be a bit skeptical...

DB - Oh Me on vinyl
I read your comment about the silliness of buying stuff recorded on phone machines on vinyl, but I think it sounds wonderful compared to the CD version.

So sad for this guy, or - really - for me. Cripple Crow is a real train wreck. Some really cool parts, but ultimately it's a losing proposition.

[larry]

no....it's his best...see me later

[anderton]

Haven't listened to Half Smiles in a while... I should bring it in the car tomorrow. I usually bring burnt CDs in the car, and I'm out of blank ones... I think I might have made a copy of Half Smiles when it first came out, but I couldn't tell myself where it is at the moment.

Today I listened to my SIAN/SPtFGS CD, on the way to and back from school. If I decide not to bring Half Smiles (original), it's going to be an UTBUTS day (copy). Opinions on bringing CDs in the car in Arizona during August (parking lot outside from 7:30 to 2:20)? I'm leaning toward the copy... or the "burnt", as it may become.

[janus pan]

no....it's his best...see me later
Well, yeah, if you're into Kelly Clarksdale and Christina Acquiescence, then I can see how it would be viewed that way.

BTW... I looked at oftherecord earlier... The review of the new Cocorosie is horrible. I mean, a horrible review, not a horrible album (although, it's likely that, too). It refers to the people who "fell for" Antony, as if that album's greatness is a scam of some sort.

yeah, cdrs in the car for me, as noted....



also, I've never heard kelly clarkson...well, I have now admitted to having heard one song during Laguna Beach....anywaysssss

I posted about this on the board...it's probably wiped out...I just feel like it's his best stuff...it's just a lot more beautiful and heartfelt sounding to me. I think it sounds like it was fun to record. the tunes are incredible. I don't find the words to be much different than the words on his other 3 or 4 records...but I fully admit to not caring about lyrics, as a general rule....more of a feel thing for me....

Oh, yeah, it does sound good (and god, the cardboard and packaging is fucking immaculate!!), but it's still sort of funny. I was actually thinking about your story about taking the Pixies and classic era GBV to high-end stereo equipment stores to test the sound quality, and having the audiophiles scoff at the purpose of playing such things on top-of-the-line gear.

Still haven't heard Cripple Crow, but I'm certainly not expecting much based on what I've read recently and heard in these parts.

By the way, I got the Dirty 4LP in the mail yesterday today. I haven't listened to it all, but it is really cool. Sonic Youth is still my favorite band in so many ways, they just do so so so so much that I love. Great having the thick box and the big photos on the sleeves. And the jams are swell too!! A lot more amorphous than what I remember of the Goo demos.

have you seen the advertisements for the new cocorosie records? let me sum it up: art mullets, heavy makeup, cartoon skulls, rainbows.

oh. my. god. atrocious.

and i haven't even heard the record yet.
