Before I got sick and disappeared I listened to a T Bone Burnett concert on mp3. These files are much better, much, much better than the one I listened to, but if you can help me find it -- yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus!
I'm also digging (re-digging?) this interview with Daniel Knauf (Carnivale) in two parts -- part one and part two.
Steely Dan kept me alive; the solo work of Donald Fagen keeps me sane. Join the conspiracy, won't you?
Prior to this I would have talked your ear off about the truss rod, but hoo-boy! There goes my image of the British as being Stoical.
I'm not sure these are "the best" exactly, but #1 is a doozy. If I'd thought of it you'd be reading it here. And Truss was a Conservative PM -- sheesh!
Disclaimer: I've already bought the CDs.
Colder Streams by The Sadies. Dallas Good was taken from us way too soon. You should really buy the whole album. But try: "Stop and Start""Message to Belial""Better Yet"
I went to see Meshuggah live. If you like Metal you'll love Immutable.
The Invisible Light: Spells by T Bone Burnett. "Critics only call something 'experimental' when the experiment has failed" -- John Gardner. You should listen to these albums. Or listen to Low Country Blues by Gregg Allman and knob-fiddled by Burnett, which I yack about here. Or, you can listen to an album of experimental music.
We got married in 1994, just days after Kurt Cobain kissed his shotgun, an ending that didn't catch anybody by surprise. I hear anything from these albums and get a litle misty-eyed particularly, but not exclusively,1994. 1994 was pretty good -- for me, and for music, if not for poor Kurt and his family.
We honeymooned at Daytona Beach, Florida and watched cars get stuck in the sand. Disney World was over an hour away. I loved FM radio. Hey, back then I used to buy magazines for a piece like this. Now I get it delivered to my inbox. Plus ca change....
