... Am I to understand there's a second deluxe CD with more Jay tunes than these two? How sweet ?? I don't think so. If you are referring to the VPR show with Anders I took it to be a reference to the deluxe edition (the one where it is all Jay and Anders tunes). If you're talking about something e...

I'm thinking Hoping Machine is open C, like Medication and many Jay tunes...Drivin' the View, Feed Kill Chain, The Void with Gibbard, etc. New Multitudes sounds open also Also, a few years ago I got to speak with Anders P and I asked about his tunings. He said he sometimes dropped the G string down ...

How great is Careless Reckless Love? Its so smooth and I think its simplicity catches what Wood might have had in mind more than any. Really, I love most all of them. I woke being haunted by Chorine My Sheeba Queen. I dig Revolutionary mind, VD City, Talking Empty Bed, Angel's....Its good stuff that...

A pungent stench, not unlike an un-cremated neaderthal, emanates beyond the fourth mile insect... and then the wild brush parts like Neal Casal's hair before you get lost in the wildebeest that is Andersbeard and you are home Anders' beard is good, miss his dreads, the dudes in Kvelertak and Purifie...

pretty awesome video and song, Shuck...thanks for the show and best with all Popeye: [singing] I yam what I yam and I yam what I yam that I yam And I got a lotta muscle and I only gots one eye And I'll never hurt nobodys and I'll never tell a lie Top to me bottom and me bottom to me top That's the w...

Guns & Roses - post Appetite for Destruction (that album will hold strong for eternity). Specifically thinking of Use Your Illusion. Recall it was hailed as a heavy metal masterpiece for the ages. Sounds overproduced, forced, & sad today. Memories of jack ass Axl delaying concerts by 2, 3, 4 hours ...

Sounds like a great premise for the next HBO series... wacko, say anything prez starts moon colony, so whenever the well-meaning governor of the moon tries to pry some shipments out of him, he has to endure requests for video sexual favors, or sometimes just gets ignored... And this is just one of ...

I like all you guys and swear off political talk here...remembering '04, '06,'08 .... I just think the country is half-nuts and so is this idea...Let Jon riff on it http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/01/27/daily_show_mocks_newt_gingrichs_moon_idea.html "You know, Linus was doing real good, ...

Forgeting the ten commandments for a minute, conservatives seem to be rallying around Newt. Our country has the highest debt levels as a % of GDP since WWII and we need to focus on reducing gov't spending pronto while shamelessly fighting for private sector jobs as our population gets greyer and bri...

pANTS eLd da man!

I'd have to say his early stuff was sprinkled with shit that turned into an Amazon rainfall after Allentown. bet if Jay or Tweedy had written Allentown re-arranged we'd a loved it. I kinda dug that Movin' Out video. He shreds the paino without even a peak. Growing up in Queens, it was "who needs a h...

Tough sell, I know.

I want to give a shout out to Billly Joel. Yeah, you wouldn't catch me listening to any of his stuff for the past 30 years. That 70's piece looks dated and funny, but he's had a helluva life. This dude was born to two jews, his father being a German Jew. His family had all kinds of musicians...broth...

Great news for you and us. Those killer songwriters could use the color you provide. Bet you dig playing with old friends.
Hope you play stateside Mark.
