Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
Sounds like they are just calling this long-lost song "Mystery Song" as of now. I've now heard a little of the background about this song and it seems that not only does nobody remember recording it, nobody even remembers writing it! Given Patterson's memory for all things musical and DBT that in i...

Re: The TV thread
After a long interruption, I was finally able to finish Reacher. I was disappointed. Violence and overcoming daunting physical odds are certainly part of the Reacher character and mystique but if that's all there was, he'd be no different than a thousand other characters. What makes him special are...

Re: DBT Roots
Among this crowd of sophisticated and knowledgeable DBT listeners I don't think there are any mysteries about DBT's roots and influences from southern rock through punk & indie rock to muscle shoals soul to country. But as always, Elizabeth Nelson has her own unique, well said and insightful take. ...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
At minimum, a return to New Deal Liberalism/Keynesian economics. Expansion of the social safety net that has been eroded to the point of almost non-existence over the past 40 years. It strikes me that "the left" need to now be conservative in a sense and promise to return some things to where they ...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
BTW, zip, perhaps I'm the only one, but I have no idea what this means in this context. It's an explanation why so many people still cling to Trump. They were so gung ho about him as some maverick candidate in 2016 that they're not reticent to admit their mistake, so they just double down on their ...

Re: The TV thread
Three episodes in to McCartney 3 2 1, the McCartney/Rick Rubin documentary and I'm loving it. Very different than the wonderful Get Back series of a while ago but equally good in its way. The episodes zip by incredibly quickly; I've been surprised when each one ended. Rubin may not ask the most poi...

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
I was a little cynical about this and unsure how necessary it really was. Wasn't that enthusiastic when it was announced. The original TDS is my favourite DBT album. If I was putting together a list of my top ten albums of all time it would 100% be in there. Listened through several times now and I ...

Re: Wednesday
If last night's show is a measure, they've built up a strong following in the UK very quickly. It must feel strange to have people shouting out song requests on your first european tour.

You can always get a majority of this country on board with pissing on people who are poorer than them. This reminded me of a thread I saw on twitter recently from the writer George Monbiot.

Re: Life is Unfair, Part MCXXII
Looked up the video.
Life isn't fair but... she looks happy. And I understand shes still playing and recording new music.
Life isn't fair but I wouldnt mind betting she's happier than a lot of guys still on the road and going through the motions.

Re: Wednesday
Absolutely loving this album. Thank you to everyone on this thread that praised it.
I love the early 90s, shoegaze vibe they have but they're also absolutely 100% their own thing. Sorry I didn't see them in Athens.

Currently on way to atlanta and should be into athens tomorrow.
I havent actually worked out how to get to athens without a car yet but looks like that shuttle service from the airport is ny best bet?

Re: Brighter than Creation’s Dark turns fifteen
They could have cut this into a very strong 12 song album but I'm glad they released it as is. I like the White Albumish left turns the songs take, even if they aren't all fully formed.
Something triumphant about releasing something this good and diverse after the upheaval around JI leaving.
