Astorians with tickets

chime

Oh stoney was channel hopping last night and cribs was Jerry's ranch in Oklahoma that he has built with his Dad. He has adopted Layne's cat Sadie.

I've been travelling back ten years the last couple of weeks and listening to a lot of Blind Melon, Lemonheads and Jeff Buckley mainly as well as some more recent stuff.

EDIT: stoney I've also been listening to The American Recordings I-V is that what you are talking about?

Chime - Yeah someone on a Jerry board is supposed to be sending me that episode.

You liking Jerry Cantrell then Dave?

I've been listening to lots of anything lately. Quite a bit of Springsteen recently, and Johnny Cash.
Alice in Chains is also getting a work out

Degradation Trip especially.....

stonesgstring

YAY!! I'm more into Boggy Depot at the moment but either album is good!

Right I've got some work to do. Will be back later xxxxxxxxxxxx

well amazingly similar tastes Dave

i've been on The Who, Radiohead, Strokes, Chilis, Razorlight, Wolfmother, White Stripes, Raconteurs... definitely Dave, dont you think its one of the best things Jacks done... i fuckin love the actual title track... its got a great Tomorrow Never Knows kinda vibe...

its been my favourite album of this year by far... after PJ of course

but it is genuinely great from start to finish!!!!

Dave... any thoughts on My Morning Jacket? and what are Drive By Truckers like? i've heard about them, but not actually them...

p.s. when are we all gonna have another Astoria night... ????

edit: On the Jack thing, it's up there but I was just so blown away the first time I heard White Stripes I don't think I could say it's the best... It was one of those where I had the entire back catalogue within a week experiences... Hands sounds like mid sixties Beatles, something off Revolver or Rubber Soul trying to work out which track, She Said, She Said perhaps? just something in the vocal harmonies...

MMJ? I've got the last album which is really rather good too not heard any others but definately recommend Z, Drive By Truckers are southern rock, again only got one album:Southern Rock Opera (about the mighty Skynyrd) which is pretty good.

Razorlight is on order, as it Thom Yorke, getting new Who EP / single whatsit on Monday, new Muse is great

Astoria night? dunno... could do tomorrow or Sunday but will be a couple of weeks then... how's everyone fixed? should get one in before Dublin... :cool:

you're right... White Stripes was an epiphany sort of musical moment for me... i saw them on some weird late channel 4 sorta music show... just made me stop eating.. which is a good sign.... i couldnt get how this one bloke and an intermediate drummer at best, could make something so fucking primal... whenever i watch the Blackpool DVD i get goosebumps at certain moments.. and the Jolene cover is just 'A'

Hands.... hmmmm..... reminds me of Rain by the beatles, which is Revolver era isnt it? but the harmonies are excellent throughout the album.

so go and buy it kids... me and dave recommend it!!!!

I was living in Indiana when Shannon died :(

I think it was Elephant that hooked me, didn't know about them until then...

Rain is Revolver era yeah, was a b-side wasn't it? It's not that I'm thinking of though... It's bugging me, will have to investigate tonight...

I don't know if I remember it correctly but think Axl was friends with Shannon's sister and had Shannon sing backing on some stuff

Helen if you get a chance to listen to them I would definately recommend it. Shannon has a great voice and wrote some amazing lyrics.

No Rain is the most famous song so the one you are most likely to have heard (not their best though )

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane

I just want some one to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
escape......escape......escape......

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don't like my point of view
ya think I'm insane
Its not sane......it's not sane

A bit crammed in there is it?!!

So - million dollar question: Rubber Soul or Revolver?

I've been Rubber Soul for years but I'm wavering...

Yep, nice problem indeed I know what ya mean... well when you're ready to move on, buy ( ) . It's just beautiful.

Chime I'll check them out thanks, what do I have to buy? Did I not read somewhere that Shannon was Axl's brother or something? Lol maybe completely wrong there.

Sure you can have a listen in HMV or something.

Their first album is Blind Melon and I probably listen to it most and then they had Soup. They were working on stuff when Shannon died and this together with some outtakes and covers became Nico (named after his daughter :().

I think there is a Best of and a Classic but I haven't got either

I think they were friend's not brothers Shannon definately did backing vocals for Axl though.

EDIT:

Yep checked Axl was friend's with Shannon's sister. They are both from Lafayette, Indiana

Reading that gave me the 'Holyman, you righteous man' bit and had me bopping in my chair but I find reading the lyrics kick starts the internal jukebox sooooooooo

I was born on the banks off a hot muddy river
The child of one stupid steamy night
Born to roam beneath the sun
What do you think of me, I'm better left alone
I met a Holyman that said that he knew the way
And he'd like to show me so my life won't go astray
Take my hand child now little boy don't you be afraid
I'll take your soul and walk on water
Holyman, ya don't understand
The cuts on me they run much deeper
Holyman, you righteous man
I've been shown the way a thousand times
Not one a keeper
Older man he said I'll tell you boy
You've planted rotten seeds
And in a land of happiness
They'll grow us evil trees
Guided minds, and eyes that will never see
Holyman I'll tell you
Just what it is that I believe
Holyman I tell you man you gotta
Believe in what you see
Cause its you that corrupt us man and
Deep throat philosophy
I don't need your spells or the little
Games you try to pull on me
Come to think of it I don't need your religion
Gotta get away
I wish you would understand
Everybody prays
Let me find my own way

EDIT: and tones of home it's Blind Melon on the CD player as soon as I get home.

Thanks for all that chime - I'll check them out
