  1. It was 50 years ago that The Rolling Stones started with Brian Jones publishing an ad looking for a band.
  2. I never made the connection, but in the book they said the joke naming an album Flip Your Wig was that it was a board game featuring The Beatles and they were also named after a board game.
  3. Read the Husker Du book. I'm so glad a book finally came out about them. It's really good though it doesn't spend a lot of time on the Warehouse album and their last year as a band. There are some mistakes in it too, but overall, a great job. Mould was a control freak all along. The book started out as a 33 & 1/3 books on Flip Your Wig, but was rejected. I'm so glad about that. I'd much rather have this book. http://www.amazon.com/Husker-Du-Noise-Pop-Pioneers-Launched/dp/0760335044/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1 Amazon says June 2011 for Mould autobiography. http://www.amazon.com/See-Little-Light-Trail-Melody/dp/031604508X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289761680&sr=1-2 Also saw this: Nova Mob's Last Days Of Pompeii reissue in December. http://www.amazon.com/Last-Days-Pompeii-Special/dp/B0043WBZK0/ref=pd_sim_m_5
  4. Reposted if anyone missed it. http://www.sendspace.com/file/r2vgw2
  5. Some are "made up" knowing what was talked about at the time, especially the first chapter. Two and three were made up since it related to the "album", but having literally studied The Beatles, I just wrote what I felt the prevailing mood was which wasn't good. Tension is easy to write and knowing the tensions that were there, I took it to every angle I could think of and tied it with what was really going on at the time. Some quotes throughout the book are real and others made up. That is where, obviously, it's more me than The Beatles, but trying to tap into situations where I felt what they might've felt and letting the conversation flow naturally.
  6. I wrote a book in the format of the 33 & 1/3 books about The Beatles doing one more album after Abbey Road. I tried to keep as much factual info as possible then shoehorn in the story around it. I put it up on sendspace for anyone to download. It has the book (word file), the album (mp3s) and the album artwork (jpegs) in a zip file. Please feel free to let me know what you think. The book also has pictures that I created to make it as real as possible. Enjoy! http://www.sendspace.com/file/g94p44
  7. The label that my band is on will be there. Churchkey Records. Great small label in Durham, NC. My bass player is part owner. We're in The Dry Heathens. http://www.churchkeyrecords.com/
  8. Filed a claim today. Put a copy of the seller's email where he said he'd refund my money.
  9. Has anyone bought a bootleg stereo box without knowing it? I think I did through a third party on Amazon. The covers and printing looked terrible. I told the guy I wanted to return it for a refund and he agreed, but I'm still trying to get my $120 back from him. I sent him an email (my 6th! He's only responded to one before where I also threatened to let Amazon handle it) and told him I'll be filing a claim if he doesn't refund my money. I have confirmation that it was received.
  10. I don't think it has to be that way. But if you try to perform songs that are not suited to your point in life, it can get kind of ridiculous. I mean, "Teenage Wasteland?" At their age? Please! You've got to remember, these songs are for the crowd, they want to hear them. I'm sure the band would be fine not having to play them, but they get played because the crowd wants them, not the musicians. As long as the musicians can enjoy playing it over and over, then there is agreement.
  11. After what you see in the film, he did Hey Joe. That was the last song at Woodstock.
  12. I got a mono version of The White Album from a friend a while ago. I was amazed at how different they were compared to the stereo. My main thought was how sloppy the mono mixes sounded to the stereo. The White Album is a ragged album which is why I like it so much, but these mixes were more ragged than that.
  13. RON DECLINE! I wanna protect you...from people like me.
  14. This sheds more light on The Last Word box. No surprises here. http://www.miles-beyond.com/lastwordintro.htm
  15. I remember seeing a full page ad for the complete box set called The Last Word that was supposed to come out back in 2002 or so. That set got pulled because Prince wouldn't allow his songs he & Davis did together on it. I still don't think that's enough of a reason to pull the whole thing. I've never heard any of his post-75 stuff & have no interest. I listened to clips on Amazon & had a hard time getting through those.
  16. Reminds me of this: KISS's I Was Made For Lovin' You video with new audio. There are a bunch of videos like this on youtube. They all have the word shreds after it like this one: I laugh every time.
  17. What I hate more is hitting yourself with a drumstick while playing. I get so pissed because: 1. I wasn't expecting it 2. It fucking hurts Just have to play through the pain.
