"With all this interest in the Hollies nowadays (Graham Nash's fault), it might as well be brought out in the open what the Hollies had going for them: five or six pretty little nuggets over the years. Herman's songs were prettier, more nugget-like, and there were at least ten or fifteen of them that amounted to more than a hill of beans. And once (on a Leonard Bernstein reevaluate rock and roll TV special) Herman and Graham himself suggested that Donovan could save the world. So distinctions need not apply, but if you want 'em take Herman of course."

m.

got to see/participate in a gather of sacred harp singers. their music notation is all weird with shape notes and junk. i just kinda listened really.

m.

that Vol. 10 CD is one of my all time favorites, way psychedelic. la monte young makes a lot more sense knowing things like that were floating around. that album sounds great sent through about three delays as well.

i'll have to check out that old regular baptists stuff.
m.

it's my national anthem!

Betty Botox - G4 Faggot 2xLP $30 (oops) weird/cool hearing things again he posted on the ysi threads

the cover of "eureka" on this is amazing!

jax0n i'll give you my tarantula hawk records.

i'm listening to the KD soundtrack! first time in aeons.

there used to be a really rad set of live TH stuff online.

that zombi record is good, but i can't help but feel like if this continues i'll have to pull out some yes and rush soon. i'm not sure if i can get behind that.

m.

(no pun intended)

and xpost to "steve": yep, the "eureka"'s pretty damned right...now where'd i stick that cdr?

ohsees - the cool death of island raiders (dude from the coachwhips doing his psych/folk thing. WAY WAY better than the double-disc thing he put out a while back)

coachwhips - double death (dvd and cd of b-sides and stuff. i'll probably never watch the dvd)

lansing-dreiden - the dividing island (the first song is awesome. sounds a little like kemado labelmates dungen. don't know if i like the album as much as i loved the first one. probably not. but it's still pretty swank)

ignite - our darkest days (some punky thing that i will not be listening to twice. in fact, let me go take it off right now)

what did you think of the ohsees? havent put that in yet

i realized recently that Richie, Francis' friend on Malcolm in the Middle (played by Todd Giebenhain) looks EXACTLY like John Dwyer

The Method Actors-All Tomorrow's Parties from their myspace page
Daryl Hall-2 songs from the Robert Fripp produced "new wave" record

man, i really want to connect w/this album. two of my faves, but it just doesn't do it for me. i don't dislike it, i just don't love it like i thought i would
