Re: Dexateens -lots of info here
Pretty solid day considering I just found out I'll actually get to hear the Dexateens play in person and that they even have a new album. I love this band. BTW, is Matt Patton on the album?

Re: Lyrics to "Take Me To The Speedway"
Thanks, John A! Because of your post I just found out that they're playing in NYC in November. Thank you for helping me catch that! And while this should be in a different thread, I wonder why DBT didn't get a NYC tour date for the new record....

Re: Lyrics to "Take Me To The Speedway"
Nice to find that this post popped up on Google after searching for the lyrics (3DD is the best). I've been spinning Red Dust Rising this week and been wearing out Take Me to the Speedway. The lyrics are biting, the music is stellar, and FWIW I agree with Smitty's translation and interpretation. I a...

Re: Brooklyn March 6-7
See everyone tonight. And great review, Bubba (extra cool that you got The Company I Keep)! Finally, great job Clams and all for reliving the mayhem that was Brooklyn Bowl in 2011, which incidentally, was on my birthday. I have a signed Wes Freed poster from that show, which features the Brooklyn Br...

Meet the Mets!
Still on a high after the Mets' win last night, I just came across the below link that I had to share with the board (and hopefully Jay, even though he's likely a Yankees fan given his Yonkers background). When the Mets were born, they were introduced to the world to the tune of "Meet the Mets," whi...

Thoughts on DBT's Songwriting
My in-laws treated me to the Carole King musical, which in addition to being a fun show, was impressive in the sense of how many hit songs King wrote before going solo and writing more hits for herself. Seeing the show also spurred me to compare King with my favorite songwriters. What stuck in my mi...

Thanks Clams! That was a fun version and a great concert (funny enough Eyes Like Glue was my favorite). With respect to Keep on Smiling, I can understand if they want to keep that song for the three of them, but I still vote to bring it out once in a while. Regardless, it certainly was the perfect w...

Re: DBT Tracks --- Your Daddy Hates Me
I love how the sparse intro sets the stage for the anguish to come. The music just sets the mood perfectly. Bovine Knieval and Clams hit on one of the several lines that make this song classic Patterson. I particularly love "And it's a little too late for writing love songs, but I never did anything...

How about DBT bring back Smiling? I had a rough day today and went right to this gem and it instantly did the trick. It's such a great and touchingly sweet song and it always sounded like the guys genuinely enjoyed playing it. Especially with Jay there to take the third verse, it sounds like a winne...

Re: Live music archive DBT
One of the best (if not the best) versions of Don't Be in Love Around Me I've ever heard. And AAW is my favorite album.
It then has a great rip through Steve McQueen, Uncle Frank and OOTD (sick version). Plus Keep on Smiling in the encore.
