C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Alright, so I have Heartbreaker and Easy Tiger and now I'm loving Ryan Adams. Where to next? I heard both Gold and Cold Roses are really good. I enjoy Cold Roses more than Heartbreaker even. I think it's a really solid album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank Kingsley 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Cool, thanks. I'm going to buy Cold Roses when the iTunes store starts working again. Also, has anyone heard of this site? http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com He blogs about music daily, and posts a couple of mp3s of the band he writes about. He's had Loudon Wainwright, Ryan Adams, Neil Young, Television, etc. I've downloaded a ton, it's great. The only thing that sucks is that most of the archives are broken links.

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 The problem with Cold Roses is that there is a lot of garbage on it. Chop it to a single CD with this lineup: Magnolia Mountain Meadowlake Street When Will You Come Back Home Cherry Lane How Do You Keep Love Alive Easy Plateau Let it Ride Cold Roses Dance All Night Life is Beautiful Tonight Then it's money. However, with the bloat on there it's probably 4 in his catalog...at least for me. 1) Gold, 2) Heartbreaker, 3) Easy Tiger, 4) Cold Roses. And any chance anyone can yousendit the suicide handbook? I don't have that one and am having trouble locating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 I really like the entire second disc of Cold Roses. (well, I get them confused, the one with the song Cold Roses on it, I like all of that disc). The other disc has some weak points, but still is listenable the whole way through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 I'm excited cause this has to mean the 90s revival is starting. It'll only be a matter of time till we see the "Alt Rock Never Stops" tour featuring Third Eye Blind, Candlebox, Sugar Ray and opener, Dishwalla. They could have their own festival. I mean you left out, Seven Mary Three, Better Than Ezra, Porno for Pyro's, Elastica, P.O.T.U.S.O.A., Bush, The Odds. Add in some Canadian content like Moist, I Mother Earth and Sloan... fuck, the 90's put out some great music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 We can't leave out The Gin Blossoms or Toad The Wet Sprocket. And even though they still have the occasional hit, The Goo Goo Dolls got to be on there. I saw Better Than Ezra two years ago for free downtown and I'm almost embarrassed to admit that they were a half decent live band. Everybody else I went with thought it was horrible but I thought they were decent though a tad forgettable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 New Miserable Experience, within its limitations, was a fine album. Had it not been burdened with shiny, alterna-friendly 90s-style production, the Gin Blossoms' Big Star-aping would likely have been held in higher regard by today's indie crowd.

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 I'm looking the summer release calendar and seeing almost nothing that piques my interest. Can someone maybe recommend me something I might not know? I think a lot of you know my general tastes, so no death metal or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 I completly forgot about Gin Blossoms, and while we are at it, might as well throw in Local H. I forgot about a big one that has to be on the 90s revival tours; Live. I was watching an episode of Homicide: Life on The Street on DVD and at the end they played "I Alone". Live, what a shitty band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaxxson Mayhem 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Styx, REO Speedwagon, and Def Leppard was a pretty damn great concert. Tomorrow it's UGK, Scarface, Getto Boys, Devin Da Dude, and Big Mike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted July 7, 2007 So I saw the Moody Blues tonight. Kind of funny being one of the few people under 30 there, let alone 25. Good beer, and a pretty fun show. The psychedelic, constantly shaping backdrop was especially great since I went into the show stoned as fuck for as close to a 60's experience as I could come.

Jaxxson Mayhem 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 Went to the Southern Legends Of The Mic Tour. Scarface, Devin The Dude and Big Mike KILLED it tonight. Shit was crazy. BUT, UGK didn't even bother to show up, which was gay. They didnt even announce that they were not gonna show, they just turned on the lights in the building and kept DJ'ing. Not cool.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 Oh man, I loved The Wallflowers back in the day. One of my top 5 or so favorite bands when I was 10. Their career sort of went downhill after Bruce Springsteen did "One Headlight" with them at The VMAs one year and completely upstaged them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hate to respond to my own post but The 90s revival tours are actually starting. Later this summer, The Counting Crows are headlining a tour of minor league baseball tours and the opening acts are Live and Collective Soul. Now you can't get more 90s than that bill!

Some guy makes a playlist once a month of surprisingly good indie rock. I'm downloading the July edition right now. The June edition was rad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
