| drive by truckers Yeah, 85 bucks a lot; don't think I've ever paid more than 20 for a single disc. Betcha WAUB get's reissued.Here's another rec: Hayes Carll, a Texas twanger directly comparable to Steve Earle. No doubt this is controversial, but I think he's a bet... | |
| drive by truckers Drat, Marty. I think 2CG changed labels (to Suburbanhome) which may have resulted in the back catalog being 86ed.The band has slowly gotten a bit more poppy, and turned down their live shows, which used to give you hotflashes. I see their first re... | |
| drive by truckers Kedoades: Slobberbone's excellent bass player "retired" for a while, hence the Drams. He's back at it, and so is Slobberbone, last I heard. This is a good thing, I think. Drams had most of the Slobberbone, plus keys, as I recall. Saw them once: a ... | |
| Where do I go from Eva Cassidy? Just saw there's a new Eva record, "Simply Eva." Another posthumous rehash, or worth getting?John | |
| Looking for Quiet External HD... Even with specific models, it's not simple. I vouch for the Lacie linked above, which seems to me quite acceptable in an audio context, but when I was looking, I was struck by how widely customer reviews would vary on the question of noise, *for t... | |
| Looking for Quiet External HD... I use a Lacie (link below). It is fanless, and so pretty quiet, though there's some chatter when I first retrieve music, esp. if it has been idle for a while. It is more attractive than most, if your reason for quiet is that you want to keep it wi... | |
| drive by truckers Yes Marty, Americana covers a multitude of sins. My favorite in the genre, and at the top of my "in heavy rotation" is not even American: Po'Girl, a spin off of the also very nice Be Good Tonyas. But now we are *very* far from the Truckers.Back to... | |
| DeVore Silverbacks If anyone can make specific comparisons to speakers at the Silverbacks' pricepoint, that would be great.Thx,John | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade If power cables do not make an audible difference, will it affect the sound if I cut mine in half? ;)John | |
| drive by truckers Thanks Marty! Just ordered The Reivers' last album (75 cents + sh on the Zon!). They were out of Austin. A little more alt and a little less country, perhaps, than some mentioned above, but very nice (speaking of the Velvet Underground, male lead ... | |
| drive by truckers Have fun shopping, Marty. :) Jbc is right that the Bottlerockets are very worth a listen (I like "Brand New Year"). For my money, the best St. Louis Bands are no longer active: Uncle Tupelo, arguably among the most important American rock bands of... | |
| drive by truckers jbc: Stephen King plugged "Gimmie Back My Dog" in one of his books. Slobberbone offered him a free ticket on their website. | |
| drive by truckers If nothing else, you gotta like the band name "Two Cow Garage".As the name might lead you to suspect, lots of witty song writing from TCG. Definitely worth a listen, Marty, if you like the Truckers.J | |
| Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me?? On a fairly brief listen, I seem to be finding v1.72a considerable more resolving, and with more like like timbre than 1.65, my last version. Anyone else having a similar experience?Lots of value for the investment here, IMO, though I've not tried... | |
| drive by truckers "Decoration Day" my fav, esp. the Stones tribute "Marry Me."If you like DBT, you might check out Slobberbone, out of Denton, Texas, esp. "Everything You Thought Was Right Was Wrong Today."Also in the conversation is Two Cow Garage, out of Columbus... |
