Yup, and I'd suggest further that from the second album (MP2) onwards
they never really released a clunker until that horrible No Joke record.
They were a hell of a band.

Steve Malkmus.
Ooh, good one. I'm torn between Malkmus or Jay Farrar.

Last time I saw Sparklehorse (May '96) I wanted to wring Mark Linkous'
neck for being a moody, disinterested little shit. He was pissy that
night 'cause very few people showed up, so the ones who did were treated
to a lackluster encore-less performance about which I bitched so much on
list that
I'm limiting my choices to ones (except maybe for the Reivers or EDD)
that I've rarely seen discussed here. I think half of most of our
collections are "criminally underappreciated" by the masses (of listeners
and critics), so I had to narrow it down to "underappreciated on P2" and
it's till too
Oh silly f*cking methat was s'posed to be underappreciated albums of
the **90s**, wasn't it? D'oh!
Sorry 'bout that,

Here's your chance to give the Philly-area alt.country scene a
well-intentioned kick in the ass. Every other Sunday night at 9pm(next
one is April 25th) Upstairs At Nick's (2nd St between Market and
Chestnut) has been hosting an alt-country open mic featuring a house band
with members of Hogan's
Actually, what you hear is me mailing sympathy cards off to Amy

taste. Between Heaven and Hell and the self-titled record with the

it is, any help? g) are two

Tough choice...I'd vote for whichever is less likely to be near you in
the future, which for me would be Slobberbone 'cause I'm way up here in
NJ where Da Bone hardly ever tours, but Sebadoh's putting on a hell of a
show this tour too and down in your neck of the woods I suspect you'll

Sorry for the onlist message, folks
Derek or Todd from Buck Diaz, I left Todd a message at home but then
realized he goes out of town on business, etc, and might not get it...Can
I use Derek's drums on Fri night? It'll make the changeover b/t sets a
lot easier and I have to bolt right after
OK, so there I stood in my local indie shop holding this apparently
just-released live 2-disc Mott the Hoople album from the Mick Ralphs
days. It has one show from 1973 or so from Philly and another from some
other town. And it was about $23. Anyone heard it? It's not a boot, but
I've never seen
Anyone headed to the Sebadoh show in NYC on Thursday night at the Bowery
Ballroom??
If you want to meet up mail me offlist.
Also, anyone know when Bowery Ballroom shows **really** start??? The
ticket says 9pm, but I don't believe it.

Hey there,
I have an extra SXSW wristband. Write me offlist if you want it for face
value ($65, I believe)

Since this year is my first time at SXSW I have a few questions for you
veterans:
--How close to on-schedule do the venues stay? I'm curious 'cause some
nights I may try to see one band at one place and another down the street
at another venue, which brings me to question #2:
--Is it even
Of course, Steve, opinions are totally subjective. On the whole I
found the
compilation illustrated just how little most of the bands included

inspiration
where most of his recorded output was based from.
Yeah, I think I

Does anyone else hear
strains of the Minutemen in Hadacol? There was something
vaguely familiar about the vocals. I thought that it might be X,
but then it hit me - D Boone. Am I crazy? Does anyone else
hear it?
I only hear D. Boon in the way they sing the first line of Somebody
I also have an Austin motel reservation that I won't be using 'cause I'm
staying with folks in town. If you want it, write me offlist sometime
before Saturday (that's when I'm cancelling it). It's from the 17th thru
the 21st (leaving on the 22nd).

Thought someone in the NYC area might want to know this. The Silos are at
their best when Mary Rowell's playing fiddle. And since, last time I
heard, she's got a VIP day gig that doesn't let her play with them often,
you oughta catch them with her when you get the chance.

In retrospect, it's quite
possible that later records - 1983's Hootenanny, '84's Let it Be, and
the next
year's Tim - have been overrated by the fanatics. They are not the
perfect
gems they're often portrayed as, not the sloppy masterpieces of a band
known for drinking itself into oblivion
I saw Clapton at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville
during the "Slowhand" tour and Williams opened for him
there. Was this the case for the rest of the tour?
In Philly, John Martyn opened that tour. It's the only time I ever saw
Clapton...obviously I wasn't too impressed since that was

now, and whoo-hoo! It's great.
Even we Philly folk have heard of them. I saw them at Spittlefest down in
Raleigh last weekend and they were one of the highlights...not quite as
awe-inspiring as the Drive-By Truckers
