Good choice. -Glen 728727@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:13:08 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728725 i couldn't do it. i stared the cd down, and just knew i couldn't give Tommy Lee any of my money. i did get the Alejandro Escovedo...but still yearned for something big, dumb, and fun... looked at Thin Lizzy's <i>Jailbreak</i> but had the sneaking suspicion that i already owned it (proof that i'm not at 100% yet)....wanted a Syl Sylvain record but they didn't have any. ended up with The Dictators - <i>Manifest Destiny</i>. 728725@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:08:13 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728722 As for the Crue, two words gentlemen: Extended Adolescence. And two more: Grecian Formula. -Glen 728722@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:01:56 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728721 Glad to hear you like the Ribot, Mr. Saleski. Also nice to see your name back here, even if it is just as commenter (at least for now). Two more sentences there, and you'da had a pick ready to go. -Glen 728721@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:58:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728717 "Pico, what's to get?" I just don't get--understand--all the accolades heaped on this guy. But that's just me. 728717@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:46:56 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728716 i heard Sigur Ros uses Autotune in concert. ...oh sorry, wrong thread. ;-) 728716@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:42:30 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728714 Oh, and just to let you know: the Be Your Own Pet album is actually called <i>Get Awkward</i>. 728714@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:25:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728713 Good stuff. Amos Lee's latest is quite good (review up soon) and I'm looking forward to sampling the latest RZA album. Sigur Ros is always pretty interesting, too. 728713@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:15:50 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728709 yeah, i'm not so sure i should support a group of guys who use so much hair dye anyway. 728709@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:06:12 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728701 I can see the headline now: man injured in fart-lighting/human torch trick gone horribly wrong. I think I'm passing on the new Crue record. I have a compilation that I got for free to have around for the rare occasions when I get nostalgic for hair metal, but I draw the line at <i>Saints of Los Angeles</i>. Pico, what's to get? 728701@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:25:34 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728684 the Marc Ribot is great! all over the place...crazy covers of classic rock, a little near-tropicalia....just a load of fun. i swear tho, i'm gonna go out and buy the new Crue! 728684@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:45:34 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/24/221735.php#comment-728681 The good, usual write-ups, gentlemen (although I never "got" Watermelon Slim). Paul Bley and Marc Ribot are on the list. 728681@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:13:24 EDT
