Music

Long story short: My friends and I are going on a road trip. What they don't know is that I've gotten hold on a big ass SUV for the trip (thank you, sister). Anybody can tip me on gangsta rap and bass heavy music - wanna make an impression when I glide in to pick up my friends (I'm a punkrocker, don't know much about the genres)?
-
Going to see Phish tomorrow night
-
Bob Dylan. Enough said
-
Enjoy it Hasty, I have a friend who is going also. Wish we could have made it
-
One for our beautiful British summer….

Been giving some older American Indie music a listen recently. Bands like Pavement, Sugar, and the Pixies…....anyone else dig this kinda stuff?
Also got back into James, and I didn't realise that Tim Booth (of James), played Victor Zsasz in Batman Begins, and voiced him in the Arkham games.

^all great bands bob mould has a new record coming out soon. Love me some James seven, laid, gold mother, whiplash all outstanding records.

I wore out my cassette tapes of Copper Blue and File Under Easy Listening. Yes, I'm that old.
-
Excellent, I bought Copper Blue when it first came out (1992?), and recently bought it again on CD, great album.
I've also been been listening to Slanted and Enchanted, and Westing By Musket And Sextant by Pavement, which I hadn't listened to in absolutely years. Stand out tracks for me being "Trigger Cuts" and "Box Elder".
I watched American Pie Reunion a couple of days ago, and that reminded me to dig out my old James back catalogue. I remember back around 1990 loads of people walking around the UK in T Shirts that simply said "Come" across the front (as in the James song Come Home).
-
Also, just to add, some of you guys seem to REALLY love Phish. I have never heard a single thing by them, so please recommend me a starting point to check them out.

Mega start with The Story of the Ghost or Rift. They are not really a studio album band. Their live music is significantly better. MikeC is the man to ask. It took me some time to get used to them but, once you get it, there is no turning back. They are simply an outstanding rock n roll band.
