I don't think this thread should be deleted so much as locked. This thread says more about Allen than Scott. And really, if Scott wanted to be a troll about this, he could've made his letter public. As it is, he sent it in private. Where it should've belonged.

Abacab - Genesis, along with the studio tracks from the US issue of THREE SIDES LIVE, which I s'pose will never see the light of day on CD. ( I guess I could call this needle-drop THREE SIDES STUDIO! ) I'm cheating as well, since I don't have a record player at work!

Heck yeah! It's the only way I'll ever be on the radio!

Sweeeeeeeet!

Don't know why I didn't mention this before, but another good one to get in the LPR series alongside this one is Al Grey's Snap Your Fingers, which prominently features Mitchell. Apparently, these guys made a number of albums together, and these two are perfect listening back-to-back!

I think they'll still lose a few games, have no fear, Al. Bledsoe's going to have another bad game at some point, and they'll play Romo, who will also be inconsistent. I think Terry Glenn will be the hands-down MVP of the offense, though. I hope so. Always liked him, and it's a pity he has to play his heart out under the shadow of Terrible Owens.

Signature updated. Dammit.

Just the opposite for me! Same here! Being Lutheran, I can really appreciate some of the show's humor.

Aw HECK YEAH!!!!!!

Dangit..... another Texan in these parts..... this place is goin' down FAST!!!

Think they'll ever write another "Youth Against Fascism" again? I'd like to think so. Then again, if you can't age gracefully, what's the point of aging at all?

Damn! You're really moving up in the world to be listed with that guy!

I guess it's never bothered me too much cuz the only tracks I was ever interested in were the four tracks with Art Blakey on 'em, and they're all on the RVGs.

Which one?

Happy Birthday Dan! I really hope it's a happy one, too!

Surprised no one's jumped on that Rollins box. That's a helluva price.

So many one-liners, so little time.....

I've missed them both times they were in Dallas for the last two albums, and have been kicking myself every time. I just need to get over this notion that someone has to go with me to see them and just go see them myself.

Bringing this back up because this is easily my favorite album of 2006, new album or reissue, bar none, not even knowing what else is coming out this year. This is the first album since DAYDREAM NATION that I can listen to all the way through without skipping over any tracks, and that is for one clear reason: Kim Gordon actually SINGS on this album, and DAMN what a sultry voice she has! She put it to good use on NURSE’s “Dude Ranch Nurse” and “I Love You Golden Blue,” but even that record had her screeching that I always skip over. Not here. Every one of her songs is sung in a breathless sexiness that belies her age (can you believe she’s in her 50’s? I don’t believe it either!). I know a lot of SY purists are bitching about this album that it doesn’t have a lot of feedback, no extended jams, no Kim screaming, yak yak yak. This is a band that is aging more than gracefully, try majestically; why should they do the same thing they did 20 years ago? Sure there’s no 20-minute drone like “Diamond Sea” (fine by me, btw), but “Pink Steam” goes for about five minutes before the words come in. “Or” is cryptically hypnotic in a Velvet Underground way, as is “Do You Believe in Rapture.” “Sleepin’ Around” is just VICIOUS. Would that all bands that have been around this long still had this kind of intensity and integrity.
