Jay Farrar

With the stripped down ACD cover, it made me think about the SV album artwork catalog. From best to worst: 1. Straightaways-took me awhile to figure out what it was (front steps). 2. Wide Swing Tremolo-most elaborate 3. Okemah and the Melody of Riot-completely out of left field 4. Trace-to me it do...

I dunno, I kinda like that song and the perfomance was light and breezy and enjoyable. The album is by no means a classic but it is pretty ok. I think that track sounds a little like a Summerteeth out take. And I also like a lot of Around The Sun, the only REM album I almost never play anymore is R...

I've got no stakes in this either. Just hoping for a close one, hopefully with a thrilling overtime!

Broken Social Scene. Tons of people I know just love 'em, but when I hear them I actually get bored. My guess is you kind of had-to-be-there to like their stuff - so you enjoy the music cause it reminds you of a whole bunch of other stuff you associate with it. I know I've got a few bands I like for...

SV: Back Into Your World
UT: Moonshiner
Jay: Dent County

Oh, and for TV, 3rd season Star Trek: Enterprise. Don't need to have seen any other season to enjoy.

see Terroir Blues re Fish Fingers... it's not exactly a secret.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley [won at Cannes, but it's good, Irish war of independence flick]
Seraphim Falls [good cowbow stuff, great acting]
Space Balls [hilarious!]
Inside Man [heist caper, and Spike Lee]

Listened to it a couple times now. Absolutely love "Dynamite," it really is a classic. The album is definitely for me the best since WST. "Dust of Daylight" is another highlight. A couple others are moving up fast too. I'm getting the impression I like my SV best when it's countrified. Thanks to my ...

Son Volt's dad could beat up Wilco's dad anyday!

"recalls early R.E.M." Sweet. I like the title, too, which isn't always the case with Jay albums. Let's do it old fashioned!
