I noticed you haven't been playing the new Nick Lowe record. Are you as sort of indifferent about it as I am? First Nick record ever that I find sort of dull. I got a copy of that record store 78 he put out yesterday though, it's pretty cool. | |

Mike East:
I hate to say it, but I did end up going to a Toys R Us yesterday (because I got out of work early...not because it was black friday) and I ended up cursing a little bit at the girl who was ringing me up. I guess I'm part of the problem. | |

You summed up the problem with Bruce perfectly. He also suddenly feels he needs 16 guitar players on every track and on stage. | |

Peter:
Michael, I don't know if it's a "problem", but Springsteen's fecundity as a songwriter certainly is an issue when it comes time to releasing an album. "The River" is where he really tried to interweave rave-up rockers with serious stuff, and that was a double album. You should get a few of his albums though - IMHO he is the equal if not a greater songwriter than Hank Williams. Springsteen could have written "Cold, Cold Heart". Williams couldn't write "Thunder Road". | |
|
Sat. 11/26/11 11:52am
Mike East:
@Peter - I heard that "Hungry Heart" off the River was written for the Ramones, originally. | |

A Herman's Hermits-themed show. I like it. | |

Michael can You Play some Emmitt Rhodes | |
|
Sat. 11/26/11 11:57am
Peter:
@Mike - you are correct. But Jon Landau - his producer told Springsteen to keep it for himself. Springsteen said Landau earned his pay with that call. | |

hey, where can i get that jay sherman-godfrey song? his website is down. | |

Mike East:
@Michael - because she told me if I signed up for a rewards card I would get 10% off my purchase. Since I was getting a bunch of stuff for my 6 yr. old it was worth it. I specifically confirmed with her: "So I will get 10% off my total purchase TODAY even though most of this stuff is on sale already?" She confirmed that was true, and then took 10 minutes to enter my info in the computer (asked for my email 5 times, she was typing with one finger). When my total came up, 10% was NOT taken off so I asked what was up, and she said they would send me "something" in the mail. Apparently I just signed up to get some coupons for future purchases...which I won't need b/c I got everything I need for my kid yesterday. | |

Michael:
I truly believe that Bruce would have made MUCH better records if he'd never met Landau.... | |

Mike - get the manager next time! | |

Sat. 11/26/11 12:05pm

Mike East...I hope you returned EVERYTHING on the spot. | |

Michael:
http://www.jayshermangodfrey.com/ IT IS DOWN! | |
|
Sat. 11/26/11 12:07pm
Mike East:
Part of my cursing her involved: "If I wanted to be here for another ten minutes I would get a manager to give me the 10% off" I didn't want to be in the store anymore, so she had me there. I still may return the bulk of it, but last night, I just wanted to get out of there. | |
|
Sat. 11/26/11 12:08pm
Mike East:
hahahaha - next time I will try yelling like that. | |
|
Sat. 11/26/11 12:09pm
Peter:
@Michael -that may be, but then again, you heart he 'out-takes' from Darkness, and -someone- is making good editing choices. I would have loved "Smile" if Van Dyke Parks didn't write the lyrics. | |

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way. Kramer: What happened to the doll? Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born: a Festivus for the rest of us! | |

You making it or just cooking it? | |
|
Sat. 11/26/11 12:21pm
Ben Drinken:

?:
I agree with your concern for the need for endorsement of contemporary musicians for grant permission to listen to vintage recording artists. Your example of the Louvin Brothers is perfect. I've seen numerous documentaries about musicians of the 1950s that are full of interview segments with musicians of the 1970s and 1980s. Why? I'd rather see interviews with musicians, songwriters, DJs, and fans from the same era who have first-person stories to tell. I don't need Keith Richards to tell me its OK to listen to Buddy Holly or Muddy Waters. | |

I got my shirt today. I had forgotten about even getting it. I thought it might have been one of the back ordered items from the marathon. I think I am waiting on a mug. | |

Clearly a #1 show today. | |

More offensive than Beck is Zooey picking Louvin Brothers songs. Just bothers me.. | |
|
Sat. 11/26/11 12:52pm
Mike East:
@Ben - I thought it might be a backordered item, too - which made me nervous the way it was stuffed in my mailbox. I have a 7" record coming. | |
|
Sat. 11/26/11 12:53pm
Ben Drinken:
it would have to be a split 7" | |

"More offensive than Beck is Zooey picking Louvin Brothers songs. Just bothers me.. " So true. | |
