Saleski slurpin' on Metheny. Shocking.
I bought the Beck today. No remastering, which I am neutral on because it was so well produced in the first place. The liner noted blow. The 19 new and rare songs have
some good moments. It is worthwhile but not perfect.
Yeah, no kiddin'. I mean, Saleski talking about Metheny...imagine that, right?
-Glen
don't worry, i'll conjure up something about Porcupine Tree next week. sheesh!
I completely encourage your Metheny picks, Sir Saleski. I'm not near the obsessive you are, but I know the dude has skillz. Plus it is a nice break from the usual Springsteen/Pocupine blathering that usually goes on around here ;)
Day Trip is awesome. That's about all I can say right now. Devoured about 2/3 of it when I got home, but it's another winner. Damn fine stuff.
Josh: I would prepare to see a lot of half-assed "deluxe editions" from here on out. I read somewhere a while back that this is the new routine from now on. Very little will be going into many of these - just compile some extras and toss it out for those of us who have to have it. I know that Def Leppard's Hysteria deluxe was pared back from what it could be on purpose - it had started out with a very elaborate booklet but wound up with a nice, but simple book of notes and a few pictures when it was going to have very extensive notes and tons of previously unpublished photos. The photographer made note of this on his site, I believe, that they had wanted to purchase the rights to the photos, then backed out and said that they wanted to do a "budget release," but the actual release would be normal price. Hence more profit for them, obviously. Scummy, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised. Luckily it still turned out to be a very nice package anyway.
another essential Doors best-of?! WTF?!
Who knew Anderson from YES sang country?
Furthermore, who knew that Jon changed his name to John?
Who knew Anderson from YES sang country?
i am now imagining hearing Jon Anderson sing "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"....
anybody got an ice pick? i gotta shove it in my ear.
Glen: I'll take you and Porcupine Tree along with half the E-Street band anytime, anywhere. And I'll do it with one hand tied behind my back.
ElB: I didn't know there were any essential Doors tracks from anytime. I can't think of any song of theirs that I couldn't live without.
Wow I guess getting pissed on by the airlines makes me snarky.
geezum, what happened to our kinder, gentler mr. brewster?
"I didn't know there were any essential Doors tracks from anytime."
Yeah, and you're the same guy who threw away a return airplane ticket, so I'll consider the source.
You boys are so funny on a Thursday Morning.
Pico u da man! I purchased the Al Jarreau CD 'Love Songs' along with the new Teddy Brent one 'Fashionable'. Both are great. For the Al Jarreau its very nice. The Teddy Brent CD good too. Keep up the work boyz.
Yer on Brewster (comment #12). Just understand that my E-Street backup won't be Patti, Soozie, and little Nils. So you ready to take on Silvio and the Big Man, then pallie?
-Glen
Essential Doors is actually a pretty well chosen compilation. I just wish they'd stop compiling and recompiling these guys - I just tried counting them over on allmusic guide - reissues, box sets - greatgawda'mighty - it's like Elvis, with more Oedipus complex.
Add your comment, speak your mind

Poppa Chubby, Sun Ra and Larry Willis top my shopping list for this week.
Who's this Metheny guy? Never heard of him ;&)
