Re: Who's Everyone Seeing Live?

Attended my first show since pre-covid at this very cool venue in Oslo yesterday. Motorpsycho with Reine Fiske (of Dungen) sitting in on guitars and mellotron through the whole thing. They kept it going for a good 2 hours 30 minutes and picked songs from allover the catalogue. So good, and great to ...

Re: RIP Hank von Hell

I saw them open for QOTSA in a venue associated with Disney World, which was pretty funny when you think about it. RIP. I think it was one of the bands trade marks really. Never took themselves too seriously. Something cartoon-ish about them. In a fun and entertaining way (mostly). First time I saw...

Rumor has it the Courtyard is shutting down next month, like the Daze Inn before it. Thanks very much for posting this, Clams. That's where we were booked. I made my booking at the Courtyard via booking.com. Haven't gotten any information as of yet from them, but based on discussions over on fb thi...

Re: Who's Everyone Seeing Live?

The wife and I and some friends went to Nashville this weekend. Friday night we saw Isbell and his band at the Ryman which was pretty fuckin awesome and fun. Isbell's on top of the world these days and he and his band sounded really good. His opener, Allison Russell, gave an amazing, emotional and ...

Re: Last Movie Watched

Heard about this race years ago, watched this morning. Fascinating. So much going on behind the scenes in these Italian towns with history and tradition going back to the medieval/feudal era.

Re: What's Everyone Listening to?

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RkcLnkedS._SS500_.jpg Love this record. It's every bit as good as "Eraserland" in it's own way. That is quite a statement in my book! Agree. Didn't quite stick after the first few listenings (except for the opening track which hit me right away) but it's been g...

Re: New DBT Bio

I liked the book and enjoyed reading it. I think pretty much any DBT fan would feel the same. If anyone's wondering, I don't think it's a good introduction to the band because it assumes a fair amount of knowledge of the music as a starting point. A few thoughts/reactions as opposed to a more "form...

Why are uniform numbers so talismanic, virtually mystical? Latest example is the outpouring of love, respect and thanks for Cavani for giving up his Man United #7 so that Ronaldo can keep the number he is so identified with. I get that these things can be important to the individual athlete(s), but...

True. They are essentially a very LOUD pop group. Got no clue what the songs are about, though. Completely unintelligible.

Came across this interview with Ray Davies from 2010. Split in 11 parts. Performing some songs as well. Quite enjoyable.

Re: Quick List 167: Favorite Live Albums

Also, good call on the similarities between TDS and DBT. I'd never really made the connection, but it is there. The Truckers lean into the country side of things more than an 80s California-based band, but that storytelling and punk spirit (and love of R.E.M.) is certainly shared by both bands. Yes...
