me and the wife went to the show as well. We were there for the Thursday night show. What one did you see?

P.S.
Really liked the opening band, The Antlers, as well. Big sound for just 3 guys!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

I'm happily listening to the reissues of two Badlands albums: Badlands from 1989 and Voodoo Highway from 1991. The first I only had on LP, and the second on tape (and I threw out all my cassettes years ago).

Excellent stuff people. Jake E Lee is still one of my favorite guitarists.

thanks very good vid. :)

do you know this group?

we sample from the shelves
tore a page out of this chapter
deface the essays in the book that you`re reading
we are the leaches that stop the bleeding
deficit attention program
by any means necessary
blare sirens to the library
whisper instructions to the book-wormed glossary

is it heavier than air - tell us, is the black box lying?

aeronautics hacked
the spine of paragraphs
prepare to indent, a coma that read-
floating in a soundproof costume
here comes the monolith
brass knuckles for the hissie fit
an abbreviation for the landing of fleets
incoming

position the stitches - like miles of torpedoes
permission was hinted
lungs that hollered in a sleeper hold

is it heavier than air - am i supposed to die alone?

I'm gaga for Gaga. Nothing to be ashamed of there Sea. She's the most creative force out there, currently. At the least she's this generation's Madonna.

Gangstagrass. The combination of bluegrass and rap pleases me.

Heh. Nice, Sarge. Not quite the same thing, but good. And apparently Snoop liked it, too.

I have to say [reference to a few posts back] I almost never listen to radio anymore, even then it's loud stations only...I only listen to stuff I already have, stuff that connects through my random Pandora listing, or stuff that somebody tells me I should [which I usually add to Pandora]...all of this to say:
I don't think I have ever heard anything by Lady Gaga. If I have, I didn't know it.
The question is: should I listen to any? [before answering this, you should know that someone referenced Madonna...the only famous person I can think of more meaningless than Madonna is Paris Hilton.]

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Funny, I just asked someone today the same question. I also tend to not listen to the radio unless it's the local Classic Rock station. However, on Facebook, a friend of mine linked a live performance of Lady Gaga covering "Imagine" that was totally beautiful. So I asked her if she thought I should delve deeper into her work to get a feel for her. I'll link the song for you.

Madonna > Lady Gaga.

Here's another equation: Madonna + Marilyn Manson = Lady Gaga

Or more accurately:
Madonna + Marilyn Manson + Ziggy Stardust - Alice Cooper = Lady Gaga

I've been on a Beethoven kick lately. And various piano compositions from other artists. I miss having a piano to play.

I've recently discovered Iron and Wine. I'm quite obsessed. Specifically his songs Jezebel, Upward Over the Mountain and The Sea and the Rhythm. You probably remember that one cover he did, Such Great Heights, that ended up on the Garden State soundtrack and an M&M's commercial a few years back.

My son has found a love of Daft Punk; which is pretty awesome.

P.S. - I am also a Gaga fan. Sometimes you just need feel-good music.

Iron and Wine. :) I have a deep appreciation for their music. "Jezebel" especially. Creek Drank the Cradle is such a beautiful album.
