Musicological banter

^that was a great article

This was hysterical
"If our fans are out there driving down that information superhighway, then we want to be playing at the truck stop. This is the future ? so let's get it going," Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler said in a press release back in '94…  it took users an hour to download the three-minute, 14-second track.

amazing how foreign it seemed only 20 years ago and how pedestrian it is today

Looks like the new album is done and back from the manufacturer ready to be sold
Saw a release date of 7/22



FREEMAN is Aaron Freeman's first album of original material since disbanding Ween and getting sober, but it's not a record mired in its maker's private struggles. It's a collection of gorgeous, subtly offbeat songs. The lush psych pop of "…Stallion"; the melancholy plea of "More Than the World"; the unflappable, Plastic Ono Band esque blues-rock of "Gimmie One More." FREEMAN distills the Aaron Freeman aesthetic equal parts wonder & malaise, frankness & mysticism, defiance & vulnerability to its headiest essence, proving that this man, known for so long by another name, is finally free.

Are you and hutch hitting this show up?

Pretty sure Hutch grabbed a ticket
I'm debating…I kinda wanna see King Khan/Black Lips
but I probably should go to this Freeman show

well yeah i grabbed a ticket!!!

gotta say my attendance is conditional on not getting hit by any more cars and whatever my kids may be up to…but i'm fully planning to go..

so I see, that frampton, is playing, lincoln.  i just recently read, that his shows lately are horrible, "mailed in" performances, where he plays about ten song, in roughly an hour, and thats it.  sad.

well the label is now denying that info, which means they didn't hear a hit single on it ;)

The Bombay Royale's new album "The Island Of Dr. Electrico is pretty much the album of the year for me.  Where else are you going to hear great moments of a Bollywood verses Spaghetti Western track or when a sitar kicks on top of a solid Curtis Mayfield funk groove.  So epic and fun at the same time.

Always fun to find a cover with a really different take on a classic…

Merrymouth, which i guess one could call a Ocean Colour Scene side project head by the OSC lead singer, do  a piano driven with string quartet folk take on the Stone Roses classic "I Am The Resurrection.

Probably right. The new album's called "Smackie".

Slowdive is having every shoegaze bands nightmare.  Their pedals and effects are on a different continent then they are.
