    Hmm, a John Cage quote. Which reminds me I haven't listened to 4'33" in a while...or, umm, maybe I have. I'll have some mushrooms with that piece, if you don't mind.

    Given most the stuff I own and my persona you would probably expect me to hate Robbie Williams, but I think most is stuff is great.

    Stupid confession:

    I've always resisted buying Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" because I think that's an extra-trite sounding album title and, as a bonus, it has always triggered an association with Joni Mitchell's "Hisssing of Summer Lawns" -- which I've also never heard and is easily one of the worst album titles ever.

    And Joni Mitchell (yeah, yeah ... 'legend,' 'genius,' blah, blah) is a drag.



    I'm strongly reconsidering the first opinion.

    Anyone who claims Jet sucks hasn't listened to the album all the way through.

    Little bit of dirt, mixed with tears.

    Lucinda Williams should cut a whole album of songs with Steve Earle.

    Molotov is the hottest band out there. They cleaned house in the MTVlatin VMA´s. They also use a lot of english in their songs (one of the members is american). Other good bands are Jaguares, La Gusana Ciega, Kinky,Fobia, etc.

    I was just in Mexico City last week (Polanco) and I picked up a Chilango magazine (I speak little spanish, so I was trying to practice) and there was a mini article/photo of Molotov.

    Jesus Mexico City is the most tragic, *#*#*#*#ed up great city in the world.

    Thanks for the advice. Feel free to post any particular CDs. Amazon.com is not too helpful. I am also at a point in my life where I have no friends who listen to anything that is worthwhile.

    So I am forced to rely on soccer boards....

    I guess you are right. Why listen when you can just save the time and join the hater bandwagon and pretend you know what you are talking about?

    Speakin' of hatin'...

    It's too bad Ryan Adams' recent rep as a dick and aquisition of an actress girlfriend is overshadowing his Rock & Roll album, which is pretty damn good.

    No matter what I listen from Linkin Park, I still can't take seriously a band whose lead singer is named Chester.

    I'll tell you what though, that old codger can still funk the roof off a joint. I caught his show at the 9:30 club in DC earlier this year and it was Funktastic. One of the two best shows I saw all year long.

    Damnit, now I may have to check this out. I have been avoiding it though I have everything through demolition. Maybe I'll have to check it out.

    Damn, that's some list. I'm trying to come up with a list of my own...do I have even one?

    Jeff Buckley

    That's all I can come up with. Hmm.

    I'm surprised Obie's never seen The Ramones.

    I just did one of those lists in my head, and it makes me feel old.

    Wow thats sad.

    I saw a Stinson-era Mats show, and a Nirvana show a year or so before "Teen Spirit" came out... oh yeah saw the Ramones at Colby College one year. Er....and a Dead show when I was 17. Still emberassed about that.
