The new dB's album -- are you gonna buy it?

i like the "Instant Excitement" ep, and his Christmas lp is fun... and those two early singles "The Summer Sun" and "I Thought You Wanted to Know" are fantastic.

holy shit. robinbrevard, ignore the haters. the blog (although you could do something about the background, which obscures some of the text,) is great. i've been looking for the cossacks stuff forever. and live db's stuff from the late 70s/early 80s is golden. i'm from winston-salem, so i kinda got into the db's with a grain of salt, but they are a truly great band.

hey nerve_p - great additions to my suggestions for gerald.

hey zingzing - thanks. yeah, the haters are just funny to me, so that's why i reply sometimes... Gotta work on the blog background, yup (just learning how to use Blogger). with your background, i think you'll like the new post i just put up there...

ah, cat's cradle. many fond memories. keep up the good work...

thanks, zing -- give me a shout if you ever want to contribute to the blog...

New album is one of the most enjoyable and memorable things I've heard all year.

I'm only on the second listen. This isn't bad, but it sounds like a comp of "Like This" era dBs and late 80s Stamey solo stuff. The more nervy, less predictable elements that were present in the first two albums don't seem to be found anywhere. I like the Holsapple dBs and the 80s Stamey solo stuff, but I had hoped for a little more maybe.
