it’s better to have beer in hand than gas in tank

firstly, since my first plea went unanswered, can someone please try and download something using safari. i believe the problem has been finally fixed, but since i dont have safari at my disposal i have no way of knowing. thanks…

so, yesterday we made the mistake of leaving the house and needing gas. it wasnt like we had half a tank, or even a quarter tank. we were on fumes or at least the gas monitor thing in the subaru was telling us. all i am going to say is that if you have more than 3/4 of a tank, you have no business getting fucking gas. some dumb ass broad walks into the station and the guys goes “how much?” she in turn says “i dont know i am only topping it off.” you, fuck face, are part of the problem! and to the hippies in the late 70’s mercedes, if i were a violent or confrontational dude i would have kicked both of your asses for filling up 5 or 6 gas containers. god damn, people! my faith in humanity while always not very sunny, is at its darkest point.

anyway, i could seriously ride this re-post thing into the ground - i have almost three years worth of shows and such. of course i wont do that, though. so, until normal posting resumes, tomorrow, here is dylan’s banjo tape/nyc town hall - visit bobs boots for more info.

Some photos from last weekend’s Newport Folk Festival, from a roundup that I did for my main gig.

I was stunned to find out you can’t embed Flickr galleries. Pictobuilder was by far the easiest widget I found. Thanks to Diego for creating it! You have to hover over “notes” in order to see captions.

i dont know about you all, but man have i really felt lazy this week. that laziness has manifested itself into a deep seeded annoyance and aversion of this place. it happens every few months when i get sick of everything i am into. anyone else ever get that way? like you just want to blow everything you feel comfortable doing and start over. i kinda feel the same way i did almost 5 years ago when we left chicago for georgia. this too shall pass, maybe.

here is the dylan late show from the supper club on 11.17.93. track 7 which is supposed to be “i want you” was removed, not by me, because it was commercially released.

1. ragged and dirty

2. lay lady lay

3. tight connection to my heart

4. weeping willow

5. delia

6. jim jones

8. ring them bells

9. jack-a-roe

10. forever young

11. i shall be released

afternoon, y’all. so far 08 is turning out to be a pretty good year in terms of the number of great releases. here be a couple that will definitely end up near the top of my end the year list.

if you haven’t been witness to the mountain goats, your life is not complete.

sax rohmer #1 off heretic pride

lovecraft in brooklyn (aesop rock remix) here is the accompanying sketch video for the remix

new monster avenue off get lonely

lions teeth off the sunset tree

palmcorder yanja off we shall all be healed

mountain goats site

yeah, ian felice sounds like bob dylan and not kinda sounds like him, but it may as well be bob. with that out of the way the felice brothers’ newly released self titled record, simply put, is freakin great. its filled with everything i love in a record, hammonds, accordions, drunken sing-a-longs, etc which all add up to the equivalent of a sounding like a traveling revue show circa 1920. very, very cool stuff.

frankies gun!

wonderful life

the felice brothers myspace

sup, jiggas? hey you can buy and download sun kil moon’s april in either flac or 192 mp3 for $9.99 or $7.99, respectively via kozelek’s label caldo verde. it’s pretty damn great, i must add, but i dont know if i dig it as much as ghosts. i much prefer kozelek’s louder, more crazy horse inspired stuff, where as april is pretty mellow overall. you can also do the same for the retribution gospel choir record, which is freakin awesome.

i make no attempts to hide my sordid musical past, in fact i know kind of relish the fact that my tastes werent always so defined. with that being said, it was with great excitement that one of my absolute favorite songs from my early 20’s. it’s amazing the shit you have to listen to whilst in the car sans ipod. i even sat through a rush song, in order to hear this.

jet city woman off queensryche’s empire

i always find it very interesting when a band/artist, who had seemingly made very little impact on societies musical conscience during their run, gets resurrected out of nowhere. no where in my brains would i have thought that dexter romweber and his band flat duo jets were going to gain some kind of resurgence, let alone a movie/documentary in their honor. during my time spent with a few of their records - most notably go go harlem baby, white trees and introducing - i attempted to get friends to hear what hear in the flat duo jets, but just about every one of the records was met with mostly utter distaste. their brand of twangy garage rock can be a hard pill to swallow, to be quite frank. but the rewards are rich if you can just stick with em. if you dig the likes of the black keys, white stripes, etc you may find the flat duo jets to your liking.

here are a few tracks off two headed cow which happens to be name of the documentary and of course the soundtrack too. chan marshall and jack white make appearances in the two headed cow.

rawhide

everybodys movin

rock house

flat duo jets myspace / chicken ranch records

1. gamblin man

2. the times

3. hard rain

7. solid rock

9. when you gonna wake up

10. in the garden

11. blowin in the wind

12. its alright ma
