Eddie Van Halen is overrated. He’s technically good but has about as much soul in his playing as Steve Vai and all those other wankers – he only gets more credit because he plays pop songs. Give me J Mascis or Dave Navarro’s early Jane’s stuff any day.

I went to this, but I’m still kind of a jerk

This show was fantastic. Ryan also played “Black Sheets of Rain,” which was great. And Jon Wurster absolutely killed on drums on every other song. Plus, Bob did more than hint at touring – he said they would be playing a very small number of shows in which they’d play Copper Blue (they being Wurster and Jason from Telekinesis). Don’t miss that show, bitter east coasters.

this, Yeasayer and Midlake all before mid-February. What a start to 2010

agreed – though if this is half as good as Van Occupanther, it will still be pretty damn good

This almost makes me forgive Chris Cornell for his last album. Almost

This was a pretty incredible show. Flea and Thom are two of the most spastic mofos I’ve ever seen – they definitely work well together. The entire band was tight as hell considering they apparently have only been playing together for 3 weeks

and if you live in LA and haven’t been to the Orpheum…wow. Amazing venue

like Panda Bear?

What if the most awesomest album of the decade comes out in the next 3 months?

Agreed. I had no idea Flea was a stock exchange operator

Jesus I hope Hiro is being sarcastic

You absolutely have to see them live. I was at this show and they are amazing. The way the girls harmonize and bounce the sounds around has to be seen to be believed

Remember…remember when you were in the Beatles?

Probably Stephen Colbert (the TV personality, not the actual person)

Wow, Corgan was bitching about other people? That’s crazy. Next up, Billy takes on Tinted Windows

Can we get him to piss off Trent Reznor so Trent can rip him a new one a la Cornell?

I read the Performance Rights Act brief on another site (I was cheating on Stereogum) and thought he had vindicated himself slightly from all the whining at his concerts about how his fans don’t love him blah blah blah. Then I see that he’s in favor of this merger and I remember that he is, as d33r pointed out, the anti-christ. How can making your fans pay as much as 50% more for tickets (just for service charges) help you “reach your fans”? He’s obviously delusional
P.S. That was the best P.S. ever

I feel like my hopes for the new album are so high they can’t possibly be met. Rise Above was just too good

Unfortunately people have just accepted that Ticketmaster sucks and there’s nothing you can do about it besides not go to shows, which is a pretty shitty option. My most recent Ticketbastards rape was for two Animal Collective tickets, priced at $28, cost me $81 with all the charges. So basically I got 2 tickets for the price of (almost) 3 – quite a deal

And a live Pavement LP? sweet jesus

I couldn’t believe when I heard that this morning. It’s dead air right now on 103.1, but at least the station is still streaming. However, the thought of no Jonesy’s Jukebox makes me very sad

an original joke?

Wow, I actually feel sorry for people who are paying to see this – I couldn’t even watch it for free. Part of me thinks it’s sad that he has come to this, and part of me thinks he’s the world’s biggest asshole for thinking people want to hear anything other than the hits (much less hear him complain). Unfortunately, it’s probably the latter

This could be a good feature – definitely a great start with Midlake.

How about Sufjan Stevens? Dirty Projectors?

That’s a bummer. He doesn’t get enough credit compared to the Bonhams and Moons of the world but the dude could play

 0Posted on Oct 30th, 2008 | re: Ryan Adams Does "Fix It" & "Cobwebs" For Mr. Letterman (17 comments)

that was awesome – hoping to pick up the new album this weekend

anyone else think Ryan looks like Rick Moranis from the Ghostbusters days? maybe it’s just the glasses
