this is a good album. david byrne's talent-seeking abilities FTW.

Also check out Ryan Adams. His seminal work is Heartbreaker, but I'm also a huge fan of Jacksonville City Nights and Cold Roses. More straight alt-country/rock then YHF, but his songwriting is unparalleled.

The executive producers of this show were on Fresh Air yesterday, sounds like it could be a winner. Plus one of them wrote for DS9 for 4 years.

who shot ya?

So I'm buying some stuff on amazon and this little gem catches my attention: Because hey, isn't that my main man, my favorite post-punker, the living representation of everything that makes music GOOD, mr Mark E. Smith of The Fall? And who are those other two cats with him? According to the blurb: "This is the debut by a trio formed by Mark E. Smith of The Fall along with Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner of Mouse On Mars. It combines the genre-smashing attack of early millennia club music with Smith's free-associating visionary wordplay. The riffs and rhythms come together from many different places, with synths, samplers, and sequencers all firing off. It's not a band, it's a free-flowing collectivist dance generator - a futurist sound system." Mouse on Mars, coolness. Is it possible for this album not to completely redefine pop music as we know it? Says one reviewer: "Like being shouted at by an old man for an hour in a pub staffed entirely by robots. In a good way." (4/5 stars) I should have it by Friday. I'm excited.

THERE IS NO X MAS FOR JOHN QUAYS

here is the schedule: http://www.bayfest.com/sc_stages.php?from=0

So today I got in the new SACDs of Depeche Mode's Ultra and Exciter. I'm not the hugest Exciter fan, but I love Ultra. So many great songs: Barrel of a Gun, Home, Its No Good, Useless...

Summerteeth (to me, this album is Wilco, but thats because it was like, THE album in high school). "She's A Jar" is one hell of a song though, Christ in heaven man, talk about great songwriting! I'm honestly not the hugest fan of A.M. as a whole, but "Passenger Side" makes it worth the asking price. Of course it helps that my friends and I were a bunch of drunks, and one friend in particular lost his license due to DUIs and drug charges several times. I think the new album, Sky Blue Sky, is fantastic, but its much less experimental then its predecesors Yankee Hotel and A Ghost Is Born.

Hey, so this weekend Mobile is having its "big" music festival. About the only two bands who I have any interest in seeing are Velvet Revolver and The Wallflowers. Anyone seen either of them live? Any good?

Who's a good boy?!

What is your preferred weather condition?

What you could do here is just bathe yourself really good, then heatshrink your whole body leaving holes for air, food, waste, vision, and hearing. That way you would never have to bathe or change/wash clothes again, since you have a new permanent heatshrink suit.

yeah i will completely rule my forum, no one will make me cry and I'll have tons of friends.

awwww... <3 my lil dot homies and homettes.

awww, no offense intended, I've never even heard one.

LITTLE D O T MUTHA FUCKA

It is because a) I have a $160 camera, I have no camera skillz, but most importantly, c) the woodgrain is MUCH more subtle in person. Even in the picture you posted Dusty, you can see the photographer had to use flash to bring out the wood grain. The human eye knows it is wood, but it is much more subtle and dark. I'll try to take some more pictures later tonight with a flash.

Yeah, Stax hasn't even officially announced the MK2 yet, so anything I've said is all hearsay.

Of course its all just rumors now, but in the Stax thread they are saying that the silver finish will be Japan only, and the black finish will be US only. Part of a gambit to drum up business for their US dealers.

So earlier in this thread we saw the Dusty Chalk approved all-black O2mk2. Here is the silver housing version: spiffy!
