  1. When it became obvious we weren't winning today, I turned down the t.v. and started thinking about what to jam to. Since I no longer dread the arrival of the Red Sox and their insufferable fans, I thought it would be fun to listen to some bands from the Boston area. So as I listen to the J.Geils Band and decide which Pixies record to follow it with, I put it to you guys to dazzle me with your favorites from Lobsterland.

  2. Weams is a fan as well. Nice retro sound to them yet they don't come off as derivative.

    Saw them w/ The Black Angels at Ottobar last fall. Sick. Just sick!!! First time I ever heard them was like the first time I ever heard Sabbath.

  3. Dead Meadow Sleepy Silver Door

    The video has nothing to do with the song but when the choices are looking at the album cover for 7 minutes or a sword fight between Japanese girls dressed in schoolgirl and cowgirl outfits it is kinda a no brainer.

    Yesss!!!! My current car jam!!!!!

  4. I like the babe with the huge honker from last year. The nose was quite unfortunate... but she was REALLY good looking otherwise.

    I always thought that, too. A nose job away from being smokin' hot...just like Steffi Graf.

    I agree with FloydRayford

    Love how he flips the bird with both hands when she mentions his father. Also an underrated guitarist. Took me a month to figure out how to play this, and I still don't play it right.

  6. And I mean NO affront to mr. randallpinkfloydrayford! In any of the above.

    It's more the ZZ vibe... "You got me tryin' new thangs too. Just so I can keep a-up wit' choo!" I want to thank you!

    I sometimes run a special that I call Salmon Dave. You didn't have to like it but you did, but you did, but you did...and we thank you.

  7. Just to mix it up... my fav...

    Aw Hell Yeah!!! I just had to watch the vid of Humble Pie's acoustic version of "For Your Love". Peter Frampton looks like he's about 15 in it. When I need a Duane fix, I go for Wilson Pickett's version of "Hey Jude".

  8. But, but, but.... I'm a Man, Train Kept a Rollin'... Not even sure who was whom there, but you have to admit those were legend.

    Clapton was on "For Your Love",but barely. He hated the song so much that he quit the band. BTW, check out Humble Pie's version for a real treat.

    Page only played on the "Little Games" l.p.

    "Shapes of Things", "Heart Full of Soul", "I'm a Man", "Over Under Sideways Down", "Train Kept a Rollin' "-- all legend and all Jeff Beck.

    Page is actually my favorite of the three, and I love E.C. ,but I guess what I'm trying to say is Beck was the only one of the three that was at the top of his game while in The Yardbirds.

  9. Heh! I've seen 2/3's of the Yardbirds guitarists live... and Eric ain't one of them. :P

    Other than the 18 months Jeff Beck was there, I think the Yardbirds are the most overrated band in history. Clapton had one foot in the blues, and Page had one foot out the door.

    Some Pop Festival

    You guys are killing me. Bloomfield?? "East-West" changed the way I listened to music.

  11. And just to continue the tangent with this sticky nugget of goodness...

    sam I am

    Wow!!! Weams, you have great taste. Marriott and Bolan are the best. I was really happy to see Stevie get some love from the Hall of Fame this year. When he left the Small Faces, it took TWO Hall-of-Famers to replace him. As for T. Rex, I kept a second job just so I could special-order imports in the pre-internet days.

  13. And of course the immortal

    For you scOtt

    "Chest Fever" was the song that got me hooked. I knew Dylan chapter and verse from my mom, but at first, The Band was kinda like background music, and to that point, the only version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" I'd ever heard was Joan Baez. I was about 7. When I was 15 I got a job at a restaurant washing dishes. I was there maybe 6 months before the chef ever spoke to me. He was getting slammed at dinner rush one evening, and as I'm scrubbing pots, he throws a couple hot pans in the sink, and he's singing "Highway 61" to himself. Over the 6 months leading up to this, the fact that this guy just put his head down, kicked serious culinary butt, and never talked to anyone, made him the coolest guy I'd ever met, and I decided I wanted to be a chef. Here was my opening. He was on the "God said no, Abe said what" line as he approached with the hot pans and dropped them in the suds and I turned around and said "Next time you see me comin' you'd better run". He stopped dead in his tracks and said "You know Dylan?" . I said "Well, yeah." And just as I was about to crack a smile thinking I'd finally connected with the guy I wanted to be like, he says, in a dead monotone, "The Band is better". Then nothing.

    So now I'm starting to think to myself that this guy has no soul at all, and he may even be a jerk. The next day I'm at work and he calls me back to the prep kitchen, hands me a 5 gallon bucket full of shrimp and a chef jacket and says "Peel these, you're a cook now". He always had music playing in the prep room, and would take smoke breaks at the back door. So I'm peeling and he's smoking, and the organ solo to "Chest Fever" kicks in. Now I'm frozen in my tracks. I asked him who it was, and he flicks his cigarette out the back door and says "The Band... I told you they were better." Then he smiled.

  14. You ain't kiddin'.

    How about that Nissan commercial with the siren? Ugh. What, "Sale-a-Minute"? STFU.

    I just saw it for the first time tonight. Drop kick me Jesus through the goalpost of insufferable.

  15. I agree with what most have said. I can't stand today's country music. Bands like Rascal Flats are just pop music with country instruments.

    That being said, I love real country music. Gram Parsons is one of my favorite artists. His work with the Flying Burrito Brothers, The Byrds, and his solo stuff is some of the best music I own. I also would recommend checking out Justin Townes Earle. He's relatively new on the scene, but his music is just downright amazing. Put on his first album "The Good Life" and it's like being transported back in time listening to country music on your grandparents old time radio.

    Thank you, good sir, for the only mention of Gram Parsons in this entire thread. Nobody's mentioned Rodney Crowell,

    either.

  16. I'm kinda new to the Hangout, and hadn't scrolled far enough down to see this thread. Although I haven't seen it for a couple months, I hated the Tide commercial where the dad wipes his grimy hands on his teen daughters' slutty white mini-skirt. Crushed, she takes it to mom, and they share a knowing wink. Mom breaks out the new and improved Tide flavor of the month and makes it good as new. Daughter then skips merrily by dad in the skirt with half her hoo-ha hanging out on her way out to become the star of MTV's newest hit show, "Thirteen And Pregnant".Dad rolls his eyes and mom smiles approvingly at the little hoochie she's helped create.

  17. I can't post attachments yet, but I have recently rediscovered the awesomeness of pre-1992 Soul Asylum, specifically, "Hang Time" and "...And The Horse They Rode In On". If A&M records would have promoted these guys a little harder, we could have all been spared "Runaway Train".

  18. [video=youtube;xBKyBlJ_JN8]

    Totally agree. I don't know what was going on in Minneapolis in the early 80's, but Husker Du, The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Prince, and The Time, for my money, out-Seattles Seattle. Having said that, my choice is from the Pacific Northwest. Soundgarden's "Into The Void" totally outshines (see what I did there?) Black Sabbath. And while I usually defer to Motown originals, Rod Stewart's version of "I Know I'm Losing You" is better than The Temptations.
