Hey, have you heard any from this one yet ....



I've only read some glowing reviews and listened to a bit so far, but sounds pretty good, especially the title track. Probably pick it up at some point, although still import now (although amazon has a pretty good price, hmmm). Sounds like real alt-country, with some of that goth-folk-indie-whatever sound I like a lot. Husband wife team does most of the singing, and she sounds kind of like Nancy Sinatra at times, not like the novelty "Boots", more like with Lee.

Didn't know about that one either. I liked If We Can't Trust The Doctors alright, but it didn't knock me out or anything.

Personally, I don't really like his early stuff too much. I like a bunch of individual songs, but none of those albums grabbed me.

Yea, kinda figured that might be the case from some of the other things you mentioned, but "Fight For Your Mind" remains one of my favorites of the 90s. Be interesting to hear more of your thoughts. Love that analog tape sound. How's the CD mastered? Very loud and compressed like most other modern stuff?

When's the last time you got knocked out or anything? Just kidding, I know what you mean, gets harder and harder to get that feeling. Probably happens to me more often, but I'm a pretty easy knockout

Let me know how that DVD-A of Hawks and Doves is....I have been weary of that thing for quite some time...I keep wanting to get it, but it's Dolby Digital and High Rez only, no DTS. I just don't want to get burned on it, I was a bit disappointed with HARVEST DVD-A.

Any Sparklehorse or Pinback recs are welcome...

Sparklehorse - hard to go very far wrong with any of 'em but my ranking is:
1. It's a Wonderful Life
2. Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot
3. Good Morning, Spider
4. Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain

Pinback - again, I like them all but definitely go for Summer In Abaddon first, then:
Autumn of the Seraphs (release day is 9/11/07)
Blue Screen Life
self-titled

Their Offcell EP is pretty good too but I'd stick with the full-lenghters for now.

I guess it HAS been a while. I stupidly left off the one cd, probably in the last 5 I've bought- the last 7 for sure- from this year that has gotten a lot of repeat play- Ry Cooder's My Name Is Buddy.
