King Kamala Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 Saw the Bob Dylan/Elvis Costello show last night. It managed to be a pretty good show despite the main portion being the worst of the three Dylan concerts I've gone to (It still had its share of moments but the first half hour of the set was dullsville U.S.A.) and Elvis Costello playing for only 45 minutes. Costello deserves at least an hour. Here's Dylan's setlist in case anyone's curious; Portland, Maine Cumberland County Civic Center October 4, 2007 1. Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat (Bob on electric guitar) 2. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (Bob on electric guitar) 3. Watching The River Flow (Bob on electric guitar) 4. Chimes Of Freedom (Bob on electric keyboard and harp) 5. Rollin' And Tumblin' (Bob on electric keyboard, Donnie on electric mandolin) 6. Workingman's Blues #2 (Bob on electric keyboard) 7. Cry A While (Bob on electric keyboard, Donnie on banjo) 8. When The Deal Goes Down (Bob on electric keyboar and harp) 9. Tangled Up In Blue (Bob on electric keyboard and harp) 10. Spirit On The Water (Bob on electric keyboard) 11. Highway 61 Revisited (Bob on electric keyboard) 12. Ain't Talkin' (Bob on electric keyboard) 13. Summer Days (Bob on electric keyboard) 14. Masters Of War (Bob on electric keyboard) (encore) 15. Thunder On The Mountain (Bob on electric keyboard) 16. All Along The Watchtower (Bob on electric keyboard) Surprisingly the stuff from Modern Times were some of the best songs of the night. Workingman's Blues #2 and Ain't Talkin' in particular stood out.
snuffbox Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I thought the new material was the highlight of the Dylan show I saw last year.
Black Lushus Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 The new Wu Tang song, 'Heart Gently Weeps' (you know the sample), is fuckin' nice. I'll give it a listen...these guys have really dropped off, IMO. 36 Chambers will always be a classic album, Wu-Tang Forever was good but bloated like most double albums, but after that they hit the shits pretty hard to the point of being flat out boring.
DrVenkman PhD Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 http://youtube.com/watch?v=15YA0nHpGfI I just saw this on MuchMoreRetro... pretty catchy.
Ginger Snaps Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I wish Send More Paramedics would've done one US tour before calling it quits in approximately 26 days. I think that, with enough word-of-mouth, they'd have at least gotten a solid following, roughly the size of Municipal Waste's if not a little bit smaller. Gimmicked to the fucking max, but they make up for it with solid thrash. I've tried to DL their albums off torrents but there's never any seeders.
Steve J. Rogers Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Heading down to check out the Candler Park Fall Festival specfically to check out The Rockin' Pontoons on Saturday afternoon. This should be a good time.
Guest Ant Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Just out of curiosity..did anybody catch the Cream reunion in 2005?
Edwin MacPhisto Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 I'd seen albums by the band Tilly and the Wall in record stores, but never heard anything by them. One of my friends said "listen to this track!" last night, and I listened, and thought it sounded weird and not particularly good. I looked them up, and instead of using drums, the women in their band tapdance for percussion. There's video on youtube of them doing this shit on Letterman, standing on little tap boards and making like Riverdance. It's terrible. Terrible! They should go on tour with the Decemberists and call it the Ultimate Cute Gimmicky Terrible High School Drama Club Bullshit Tour. And I like the Decemberists!
The Man in Blak Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Well then. I guess I won't be sending you any of my La Bottine Souriante collection anytime soon.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 That splash page makes me want to take out my eyes.
Mik Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 All the Boxer talk in the AOTY thread got me listening to Alligator again and I like more of the songs on the album then I remember. I remember thinking a lot of the songs were fantastic and there were some clunkers, but "Karen", "Lit Up", and "Friend of Mine" have snuck up on me as quality songs to go along with all of the ones I already really liked. Boxer is good and it gets better with successive listens but I don't think it really holds a candle to Alligator.
Nighthawk Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Posted October 12, 2007 Autonervous That's just a band I've been listening to lately. San Franciscan/German female no wave vox/sax/electronic duo. Sounds like ambient Detroit Techno with jazz influences. Pretty good.
Gary Floyd Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Autonervous That's just a band I've been listening to lately. San Franciscan/German female no wave vox/sax/electronic duo. Sounds like ambient Detroit Techno with jazz influences. Pretty good. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Gary Floyd Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Remember Lou Perlman? Well, now you do.
The Flamboyance Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 I got tickets for Morrissey on Oct 22. I am sooo excited. Has anyone seen him during this tour?
Nighthawk Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Posted October 15, 2007 Nice. That's a good, solid arrest.
PLAGIARISM! Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Not heard of T.I. ever. Moz's recent tour set seems to focus on his 90s stuff more, and is being billed as his last tour for a while, so it should be pretty special. Not seen him since last Xmas but at least 'National Front Disco' had already crept back into his set by then.
Matt Young Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Nas has announced that the name of his next album will be Nigga.
snuffbox Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 I'm going to see Type O Negative this weekend. Should be pretty weird.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Seen anything involving Peter Steele lately? Interviews and shit, that is? Guy's fucked. He looks sixty, and acts all wounded because his sister called the cops on him because of his drug problem. Their last album has some reeeeeeeeallly awkward honest moments that totally fuck over the tongue-in-cheek sense of humor that makes them good.
PLAGIARISM! Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Is he not totally ripped anymore then? Can't imagine that.
snuffbox Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 I haven't seen anything recent. Not surised, though. I'm confidant I'll be entertained in some fashion, whether it be laughing-at or laughing-with, on Saturday.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 T.I. is in trouble with the law. Here's a nice photo gallery of what the feds confiscated. It looks like he was tooling up for Armageddon or some shit.
Hawk 34 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 I'm being dragged to a Mat Kearney/Colbie Caillat/Vanessa Carlton show this Thursday.
Si82 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 After finally seeing "Stop Making Sense", a great film, I'm really getting into Talking Heads. I just think they're awesome. Tom Tom Club are pretty good too.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Is he not totally ripped anymore then? Can't imagine that. Pretty sure Pete's pushing fifty.
AntiLeaf33 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Nas has announced that the name of his next album will be Nigga. Seriously? I guess thats one way to stir up the "controversy" to either sell more albums, or to blame if the album does not sell well.
Nighthawk Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 I don't think it's particularly controversial.
Black Lushus Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 In 1993, 2Pac had an album called Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. so it's not a first or anything.
