What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.

Listening now. I always assumed that Todd would fit in well with this band. Sounds good so far!

I've never heard this music. When this short-lived band was formed and touring, it just seemed like a money grab, as this one CD was mostly live versions of Cars tunes. That said, Rundgren never said that it was anything but "an opportunity... for me to pay my bills, play to a larger audience, work with musicians I know and like, and ideally have some fun for a year", so you can't blame him.

For me it's an enjoyable listen, albeit one I don't spin that often. .  And it sounds like they were having fun as well.  Rundgren seems like he'd be a livelier front man than what the Cars were used to.  I would've gone to see them had they come around where I was living at the time.

The Dream Syndicate – "Medicine Show: I Know What You Like" (Deluxe Edition)

[Aggie87]

I keep telling myself I'm going to delve into the Dream Syndicate and Steve Wynn at some point, yet all I've done is listen to the Baseball Project.  I need to rectify that.

np: Speed of the Stars

Earlier today, I got tickets to see RUSH -- less Neil Peart, of course -- in August 2026 in Toronto.

Yes, you do! Especially "Days of Wine and Roses", their instant classic.
