Are you going? MG Don't think so.

GOT to be Space Ritual. Not that I know it, but I know OF it. I vaguely remember seeing them in '74. I was working at the college radio station in Santa Barbara and for some reason we got tickets to see them in Santa Monica. Not only were the tickets free, but they supplied a free bus ride to the show (about 100 miles away). The whole experience was surreal ... and I wasn't tripping - REALLY!

Coming to Yoshi's Sept 7-9 as a "guest" with the Javon Jackson Band

Lots of stuff on Amazon, including some very reasonable prices on downloads, if you're interested.

Yeah the one I have been listening to isn't really country, but it is somehow derived from the principles, ethos and soundworld of country... As I said........"country-ish"

VERY nice! (although not the metal spine versions)

For the country-ish sound, Jon's Waco Brothers might be even a better choice. A great live show, too!

I guess the Mekons discussion is over, right?

Whoa! The Eleventh House meets McDonald & Giles! Quite a new direction for SW.

A friend turned me on to them several years ago. While I haven't see the Mekons themselves, I've seen Langford in various solo incarnations countless times. Never fails to entertain. He's an accomplished artist, too. Exhibits and sells his work through the Yard Dog Gallery in Austin. Great little place, BTW, if you happen to be in that town. Also has amazing 'back yard' concerts during South by Southwest every year.

I haven't heard this album in YEARS, but I remember picking it up when it came out because it was so different from what he had released before. I liked it at the time.

Why don't you read up on the site first. About Us

Awesome! Especially THIS pic taken from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showing it parachuting down!

Hope ya had a great one! Maybe played some PT at "11"?

Defunct?

Hope you're having a GREAT one, Lon!

That's a pretty amazing lineup. FREE just seems insane!

Not there, but I may see those guys when they come to Yoshi's next month.

Yeah, I've been Googling the forums and been having trouble finding anyone who DOESN'T think it's great. [something's wrong here ]

Good point on the trem, Lon. I should test drive a Jazzmaster at GC. I doubt they have this one, but it's close enough to a standard model that I could get a good feel for it.

Agreed, Lon. The earlier Mascis was sort of a metal-flake purple, I think - not my style, either. Also an "actual" Fender and more expensive. This would also be an easy way for me to get a guitar w/trem, which I'm lacking in my "collection".

I'm not the biggest Willie fan, but it seemed like a good way to get a lot of stuff at once. The review mentioned that the live cuts are some of his best, so it's worth it for that alone. Not like it's gonna break the bank, anyway. Cheaper than a capuccino at Peet's.

Works for me. Anything is better than the old interface.

Anyone heard about or played the Squire J Mascis Jazzmaster? I can't find any bad reviews or board comments about it. Sweetwater is selling it for $379 - seems like a steal, from everything I'm reading.
