Just another reason why I love Ryo.  |

You just saved a man from becoming a prostitute.

(And in my own defence - up to this point, I think Drum was the only person on my side about this one - I'm not used to seeing them chosen over BSS by anyone else! Happy to have you on the team.)  |

You just saved a man from becoming a prostitute. That was really my goal for the day when I woke up today. I feel so fulfilled. |

Riley, that album cover is positively ugly. With any luck, I'll draw you in the mix CD swap project and you'll hopefully have something better than Loudness to list (though if you want anything, I'll be happy to send you stuff irregardless of the mix swap). In the meantime, he's welcome to my (rather limited still) Soulseek stash. Been looking for an excuse to make him listen to a couple tracks, namely BJC's "Salinger" and Supercar's "Lucky", anyway. No way you won't like this stuff, 'dog, unless you just can't get past the language barrier at all. Hell yeah, "Salinger" truly kicks ass. My favorite off of that album is actually the song after that though. "Furyou No Mori." The really long one. And yeah, "Lucky" is a pretty great track as well. I had always meant to ask you what you thought of their early, guitar pop songs. There was massive hype surrounding the band when they first came out, so did I kind of fall into the "well okay, they're pretty nice, but really..." trap at the time (I was young and immature back then). But taken apart from that context, Three Out Change is a pretty neat album. I still think that Futurama is their best though, and prefer their latter stuff to their earlier stuff. But, I know some people who swear by their debut CD. |

Just one of the many reasons why I love Drum. Tomoko had two twin sons - Hiroshi and Takashi. Their father had left Tomoko when it was found out that she was pregnant with them, and though they barely scraped by on Tomoko's meager salary as a barmaid, there was so much love in the house that no one could doubt that they were a happy family. And then one day... Hiroshi: Mom, I got a perfect score on the math quiz today! Tomoko: Oh. How nice. Takashi: Mom, I got a perfect score on the math quit today! Tomoko: Wonderful, Takashi! Here, come over here and let me give you a kiss. I am so proud of you! That was the incident from which the lives of the two boys, who until then had thought that they were loved equally by their mother, diverged. Takashi continued to excel at school, eventually graduating from Tokyo University with top marks to begin work at the Tokyo arm of Morgan Stanley, earning annual salaries in the tens of millions of yen. However, Hiroshi, who had similarly excelled at school up to that point, simply gave up, knowing that he will never earn the same love as his brother. He would drop out of high school, and after going through various dead-end jobs, find himself on the streets of seedy Kabuki-chou, Shinjuku, having sex with old ladies for money. I'll leave it up to you to decide what the moral of this story is, tunes Plenty of reasons there why tunes' original sentiment is heartily reciprocated -- to both of you, of course! |

Ryo, as a whole I agree with you on Futurama. I do find the stuff I've heard off of Highvision and Answer to sound a bit less dated, though, but keep in mind that I'm hearing this for the first time in '05 and '06, so my perspective is a bit different. But "Lucky" is probably my favorite track by them. In fact, on the Stars theme, I put that down on the Now Playing board not too long ago and said, "Imagine Stars in Japanese, half a decade earlier" or something. I've got it on ysi...I was going to put it on the yousendit thread here, but fuck it, here it is. Listen up: www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=CD0ABEF016D3A903And here's Blankey Jet City's "Salinger", too, since I've already got it uploaded... www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=2F087E1C2DD35200My biggest problem with Soulseeking a lot of stuff is that it comes up in Japanese lettering, and I can only distinguish albums by the one or two English tracks I can find. I manage, though... |

The only ones I can think of off the top of my head is Fats Domino, Screamin Jay Hawkins, Dr. John(if you call that rock)...lots of jazz/blues artists obviously though... |

As far as pure rock goes, there's not really much besides your old guys like the ones you mentioned. Like Buddy Guy  That was taken at Bonnaroo. Crazy ass old man jumped in the middle of the crowd and started shredding like it was 1962. Pretty awesome, he wasn't five feet from us when this picture was taken. In the last few years, though, no memorable rock at all unless you're into stuff like Crowbar and Acid Bath. |

Btu some of those old guys were so transient that it really didnt matter wher they were from. There was sort of a blues circuit that alot of these guys traveled up and down, going from new Orleans, p though memphis and onto Chicago... ...that's a cool picture btw. |

He moved to Chicago in the late 50s, so that's definitely where his career blew up, but he was born and raised in Louisiana and started off in bands in Baton Rouge. But yeah, they all travelled up from NO to Chicago. He's still an amazing fucking guitarist, too. Put on a really cool show for being about 70 years old.

I saw Link Wary in the 1990s tear it up, and I saw Chuck Berry in the 1980s. Also I live about a five minute walk from Maxwell Street--whihc has been gentrified now, but as late as the mid 90s it was still home to some of the greatest electric blues you coudl ever imagine (there is a famous scene from the Blues Brothers movie that is set on Maxwell Street). Any, theres hardly anything more inspiring than seeing some old fart doing his thang... |

I can live with that. How about phoenix, arizona. Can anyone name a band from there that is better than The Tubes? |
