Nice one Clams, I have listened to Trouble In Mind more than a few times. Did you see Hayes Carll on Austin City Limits a couple of weeks ago with Ray Wylie Hubbard? they did an awesome Drunken Poets Dream together. P.S. Beaumont is a shithole--smelly and polluted, because of all the refineries and...

In order:

1) One of us Must Know (Sooner or Later)
2) Positively 4th Street
3) It Ain't Me Babe
4) Shelter from the Storm
5) Like a Rolling Stone

Great job Clams, although I'm a bit surprised you aren't more familiar with hist first 2 albums. I actually think Little Rock is a better album than Trouble in Mind, but both are great. Flowers & Liquor is a good album too, but it has less full band arrangements. The title track on Little Rock i...

That new Two Cow Garage is pretty good. Haven't listened to it a ton yet, but really like what I've heard so far.

Gut reaction, no deliberation...

Long May You Run
Barstool Blues
Cowgirl in the Sand
Cortez the Killer
Helpless

And I immediately regret leaving out Fuckin' Up

Clams, why do I lose credibility? Am I not entitled to my opinion? Listen I love early Bruce. Asbury Park is for sure one of my top ten albums of ALL TIME. I just bristle at the fact that people still think of him as great when he hasn't been for so long. If it makes you feel better I feel the same...

after some cranking out ol favorites I ain't listened to in a while, I'm changing my list: Trust I Got the Same Old Blues Double Trouble Searching Cry For The Bad Man all by the greatest American rock n roll band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers? If an attempt at humor = Fail If a serious inquiry = ...

The trouble with "Eyes Like Glue" is it's atypically maudlin and earnest for Cooley - turgid, even. I appreciate the sentiment,and I don't think it's a bad song - on the contrary, it's sorta sweet - but I rely on Cooley to deliver the 'zinger' sorta lines, lines that me me laugh out loud,...

Pulaski and Mercy Buckets will be the best closers to a DBT album since Lookout Mountain and Goddamn Lonely Love. Which is interesting because TBTD, while being right in the middle of the pack for DBT albums in my opinion, also has what I feel are the weakest 2 closing songs in Flying Wallendas and...

I'm surprised to see "Unsatisfied" on so many lists. It's a great song, but not one I think of when it comes to songs you crank the shit out of. It does build to a crescendo and there's nothing like screaming I'm so Unsatisfied at the top of your lungs. Cathartic. I can totally see that. ...

Springsteen's sound is all over The '59 Sound. It seems obvious to me. Go figure. FWIW, Springsteen picked The '59 Sound as his album of that year for a Q magazine piece. To me, American Slang sounds less specifically derivative, but also clearly owes a debt to the Boss. Perhaps not surprisingly, i...

That sounds just like this.

I don't hear an iota of Springsteen in The Gaslight Anthem. I think most Springsteen fans would be horrified at the comparison I felt that way about their first album, but I hear a ton of Bruce in American Slang. From the production, to the anthemic choruses, to the relentless stomp of some of the ...

I know sometimes it can be difficult to separate an artist from the stupid shit they do (Ryan Adams being one such case) but I can't stand Kanye West. This is a man, who at Live 8, stood before an audience of millions and proclaimed that the white man invented the AIDs virus. He's what I'd refer to...

2010 is the worst year for music in the last five years. It's unlikely that my top five (TBTD, Two Cow Garage- Sweet Saint Me, Alejandro Escovedo- Street Songs of Love, Glossary- Feral Fire, Roadside Graves- You Won't Be Happy With Me) would even make my top ten of either of the last two years. I'm...

Gaslight Anthem - American Slang (1/5) Terrible terrible terrible. Indistinguishable from the early 00's pop-rock groups like Sum-41 and Bowling for Soup. I dont' get the hype AT ALL I don't even know where to start with this post. "Diamond Church Street Choir" is one of the grooviest roc...

ALWAYS SUNNY... Seasons 4 and 5 were slightly less consistent than season 3, and all are better than seasons 1 and 2. Season 5 featured some of the best episodes the show has ever done, such as Frank Gets an Intervention. Frank Gets an Intervention- "Well, now you're just mashing it" I al...

Anyone else ever catch "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"? A friend had it on tv while we were in Athens this year. We went back and started with Season One on Netflix and are flying through the episodes. Very funny stuff! What's up with Charlie always wearing the Unicorn shirt? that's t...

I opened this thread to post this song.

Anyone else think that Dancin' Rickey is Shonna's best song yet? I really, really like it.

Also, I found the guy in the background who says "Dancin' Rickey has diabetes? WHAT THE FUCK?!" to be hilarious.

I don't know. I'm not nearly as pessimistic.

In 2007 I saw DBT at a little theatre in Iowa City, playing for about 200 people. In 2010, I saw them in the same theatre with about 2-3 times as many people there. I know it's small and anecdotal, but I think it's a good sign.

they almost never play anything off it anymore They played 3 songs off it when I saw them a month ago. It seems to me that ABAAC gets a ton more play than it did 2-3 years ago. I guess I should say that when they play songs off of ABAAC, it's always the same 3 or 4 Yeah, I hadn't seen those stats w...
