Thats a great record Jackson. Currently continuing my Ryan Adams journey with " Cold Roses ", which is great, a ton of awesome songs like "Magnolia Mountain" , "Meadowlake Street" , "Easy Plateau" , "Let It Ride" and "Friends", all brillian...

I used to live just down the road in Hanger Lane....... memories

It was Tweedy on guitar for most of "Ghost" but its Nels Cline on the new record - and though I enjoy it, its not my favourite Wilco record, I think 'Summerteeth' and 'Yankee .." are both much better. Im still listening in amazement to Ryan Adams' '29'. It blows me away every time I l...

Yeah, Ive heard that phone message he left for Jim De Rogatis after his rather bitchy review of a concert, at the House of Blues funnily enough I think, which is pretty entertaining. He wouldnt be the first rather petulant , hypocritical rock n roller though, almost a pre requsite for the job. In fa...

29 is great, but Cold Roses is my favorite of the trio of albums he released that year. Have you had a chance to get into that one Mike? I nearly got that one instead of 29, as Ive heard that its great too. Its next on the list. If its better than 29 , well I will be mightily impressed. Whats the d...

Easy Tiger is great (who can resist and album called Easy Tiger?) being a very recent Ryan Adams convert Ive just recently got 29, and man, thats one helluva record. I always wrote him off from what Id heard as being a bit of a drip, but hell , that boy can write a song, 29 is nothing short of a mas...

Dont give up hope Grace! There is always YOUTUBE!!

Do you really mean to say you prefer Jethro Tull to the Velvet Underground? I dont remember ever saying that ? However, I am not one of those who hold fast to the belief that VU/Punk = good and Jethro Tull/ Prog = bad. I like the Velvet Undergound just fine, two completely different approaches to r...

Collins began working on this album in late 2004 and continued working on it following a long period of rehabilitation after his illness. The tracklisting is...

Inner city life, inner city pressure The concrete world is starting to get ya The city is alive, the city is expanding, Living in the city can be demanding, You’ve pawned everything, everything you own, Your toothbrush, jar, and a camera phone You don’t know where you’re going You cross the st...

Damn , this is show is funny. Their take off of the Pet Shop Boys in "Inner City Pressure" was the funniest thing Ive seen in a long time. Maybe being a NZer helps , but I found it hysterical. Anyone else watching this on HBO?

Yeah, Meaningless is great, and I love the Huckabees soundtrack, but havent heard his version of Extraodinary Machine. He was also in a band called "The Grays" with Jason Falkner - heard that blue? Must search that out. from his WIKI In April 2006, recurring tendonitis in Brion's right han...

A thread for anyd and all John Brion stuff. I really dont understand why this guy hasnt released a hatfulll of albums, he is quite obviously a musical genius. Dont belive me? Check out the below link and his miraculous, off-the cuff live version of "Life on Mars" in a Fats Waller stylee ht...

Was looking at these re-issues in the store today and I must say theyve done a very nice job with artwork - they all have the original album artwork , even down to the titles on the back, they look very nice, and Ive never seen so many EC titles on the shelves.

That trailer is pretty cool.


One song - would have to be "Visions of Johanna"

Currently been listening to the Jefferson Airplanes Surrealistic Pillow

Brilliant record - Today especially.


"Otis Wilbury" has quite a nice ring to it.

I like Siobhan Donaghy actually, she's kinda kool!

Dont even own it, because what Ive heard does absolutely NOTHING for me.

heh, exactly.

...and of course, meanwhile, the war drags on and the world slowly burns.

now back to our normal programming!

Thats the thing - people react to what they see on TV. The TV media only shows trite celeb based news - because they say thats what the majority want - ie they think we are stupid - and not interested in the important news because its too real and too scary and not entertaining - and Im sure they ha...

ahh, didnt even notice the date. Peter Gabriel.

the Iron and Wine I wouldnt have gotten, should have known the Arcade Fire and Paul Simon
