I'm dying to see the Dylan film but I'm sure I won't get a chance until it's out on DVD. It looks to be very unique and fun. From the quick once through listen I enjoyed the soundtrack but I haven't found time to dig into it yet. Considering the talent involved and, of course, the songs themselves they really couldn't have messed it up.

Odd to say because I've had my share of problems with Dylan's interpretations at times but almost unanimously I prefer the originals to the covers... It's like his material demands the raspy voice and the punchy delivery. It's not a bad album at all. Pick ups:  Fripp & Eno- Beyond Even Supposedly a leftovers-album with one album segued and one album with the tracks separated. Look massively forward to this! |

someone mentioned the marianne faithfull autobio on one of the boards here awhile back and i got ahold of it and i'm reading it now...got to a chapter where she's describing being dylan's 'consort-in-waiting' and then she sort of chickens out because she's #1 engaged to john dunbar and #2 pregnant....but only partially were these 2 factors entering in her decision. basically she was disappointed in him being a bit a comedown from the god-like image she'd built-up of him in her head. and she shut him down as gently as she could and he threw a fit, threw her out of his hotel room n'shit. she herself was barely 20, but she still realized he was only a kid playing at this obtuse genius persona of his. all methed-up to the max while he was there in london circa '67. somehow it seems like she couldn't have had those revelation as this shit was happening, but evenso what an impresssive woman! i almost bought this today:  ...but i decided i needed to buy more dvd-r blanks instead. didn't feel like dropping a whole 50 bucks at best buy today... but i WILL get that disc on sale somewheres! monster magnet fucking RULES! |

[glow=red,2,300]4-wAY dIABLO[/glow] Playing the bitch right now for about the 10th time --- can't BELIEVE it snuck in on me the way it did and how lucky I was to find it being out on its very release date. Frankly, IMO this is the best they've sounded since Dopes To Infinity. On a slight level the songs somewhat don't seem to rock as hard but they are solid with a tightness that overcomes any lack of 'in-your-face'-ness. Oh, they DO get off mind you, but there's this grooveness that matches the riffs that kinda centers things....like having a comet on a string that you're twirling about your head: it's full ablaze and screaming around in a fury but there's kinda of a control attached to it all the same. Their last couple of discs didn't flow so well for me and were more forgettable -- 4-Way Diablo strikes me as better constructed with more realized tunes that hold this hynotizing depth that we know as the Monster Magnet world. Fuck yeah --- scoop this one up! |

Is "black sunglasses" not the best song ever? Or "how we do"? Yeah, awesome album, I'm glad I finally own a real copy.

Looks like my list of things to buy is rebounding since the last big (birthday) buy - up of CDs 've been waiting for...
(and I don't care if people think my taste in music sucks, I really want these...)
R.E.M Live ( I know I am late and this may jeopardize my "true fan" status, buts only a live album and I know all the stuff on, right??)
"Turn it on Again Live" - Genesis (Yep. still love 'em, and would have killed to see them on this reunion tour)
Get Lonely - The Mountain Goats - only just got into this band and I am already missing albums by them! ahhh!!

Just took in a haul at one of the library's used book/CD/record/DVD, etc sale all for a couple bucks more/less. Mostly moldyoldie catalog stuff but still managed a few I really was looking for (like the old Genesis). also picked up a CD-R that was a collection of Neil Finn/Crowded House tunes. |

Yeah I thought it was a twist of fate to see that very same Badfinger in one of the crates and it was one of those ones that I'd always meant to have picked up.
I'm looking forward to the Nillson and hearing a few tunes that I may not be familiar with --- WILL say that "Jump Into The Fire" is gonna get crrrannnnnkkked! So far I've spun some of the King's X, which was okay but a bit dated to its era. The Todd Rundgren collection was good to hear, esp. the Utopia cut "Very Last Time" --- n/p the burnt Finn/Crowded House set and the person who made it must have been a fan as it flows very nicely and the material points to a band that I've ignored FAR too long!
I'm still wondering why I picked up the 2CD compilation of Traffic....it was only $3 but I already have 90% of the cuts on an outstanding Steve Winwood box set.
Speaking of Winwood....I did watch a lot of this years "Crossroads" when it was on the Net and his set with Clapton was probably the best of what I saw. I noticed the program being on but didn't invest any time in it. Can't recall if I saw all of Beck but know I did catch some of him.

i think that beck's management only allowed 2 of his songs to be on the released dvd...and in reading comments at amazon, THIS song that he did was one that people were howling about asking 'WhyTF wasn't it on there?!' i can only agree. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKtdakNhhLoshit, i was within 30-40 feet of the stage for this set.... |
