Dare I say, I often find myself reaching for his solo work more often than the Replacements. Me too. I love the Mats -- but hearing the same grittiness found on their earlier records yet without all that cheesy 80s production (super gated drums, chorus guitar) hits it right on for me. Hey, is that ...

You should check out. "Practicing the Power of Now," by Eckhart Tolle. Trump, I just finished this book. Interesting stuff. It makes perfect sense to me yet on another level i found it completely impossible to "practise" and to take it all in -- if you catch my meaning. We should discuss it sometim...

Sent you a pm, Dry.

Haven't heard it... but I'm psyched. Didn't realize there was a new one out already! Man, I can't shut up with my praises for Westerberg's recent albums. He's really come around. A far cry from 14-songs era over-produced days. "Mono" really inspired me to get back to real rock grittiness and not wor...

Has anyone had any experience with a Roland SRV2000? There's one for sale at a pawn shop down the street for me. How's the verb options on that? How does it compare to an Alesis Quad or something like that?
Thanks.

Yeah, I started paying attention a lot more to their stuff lately. Never "got them" when it was coming out. Guess I couldn't get over the "ham" of them. But the lo-fi-ness was never a problem for me. God bless the 4 track cassette. Starting going back and gave them a good listen after I read "This B...

I hear Behringer makes a good tombstone for only half the price.
Or maybe the ART "Tube" tombstone...

Operator, oh could you help me place this call...

I only have the B-boys new one from that list. I generally have a good idea what the others sound like, though. Only other ones I would think about buying is the new Wilco, as I loved the last. As for the Fiery Furnaces, yeah, lots of hoopla about these cats lately, but from what I've heard on my lo...

I'm pretty pumped about this. I've been waiting to upgrade my ancient beige G3. Finally a Mac that I can get that's under 1500. (my dream suddenly becomes a possibility as it would take me years and years to save up for a g5 tower) The new iMac is not the most "upgradable" computer (no PCI slots) bu...

Do you mean it's all gonna end by one big cheesy computer graphic composite? You may be on to something...

That's "half-baked" not "half-back". Sorry.

That's the way I see it, coniferouspine. Very well stated. Although I have no real scientific basis for this assessment, I truly feel that this growing schism of the have and the have-nots will be pretty much the downfall of humans. Just my general impression of the unconsciousness that prevails. It...

Same here, Bob. Can I call you Bob? Christ, why do I feel like I've known you for a longtime. Ain't this internet thing just a load of duck?

Home recording soldiers, Keep recording! Don't let the Man keep you down. Express yourself. Write subversive messages while at your day job.

Rock!

man, I recorded dave matthews a few years ago and for like 18 hours the dude was all about poop jokes. After the first hour, I figured I had just sort of caught the band on the road in the middle of whatever their ongoing road gag was for that part of the tour but it was just incessant jokes about ...
