time after time - cindy lauper

there I said it.

and there was a time where the titanic theme song tickled me in the right spot but I've since gotten over that.

I just picked up a new generation 60 gig and I'm speechless. It's nuts.

More to come....

I don't have a 2006 Calendar yet.....

I can see where you're coming from and how phish is a good example, but I have to disagree with you here. I don't think phish really changed their sound to facilitate a newer or expanded audience. They were already selling out MSG for NYE run in 1994. SCI really adulterated their sound and touring style with Phish's impending hiatus, and they didn't have an incredibly unique sound to begin with. Then there's Madison House. Yada Yada. I just think there are a lot more differences in the way phish attracted their crowd post-Dead than how SCI exponentiated their fanbase post-Phish.

Just my two cents.

Good show last night. Good to meet a couple of the Hammer folk.

Good times.

"that's just.... your opinion, man" - annonymous, pre-christ proverb

I have no beef with Jambase, we just had that one "conflict" and since then I've lost the luster to write for them. No offense to them or their contributers. I would gladly write for them, I just don't write as much as I used to, or see as much music worthy of writing about as I used to for that matter. Good call though, I'll be back. I'll cover Lotus in the Hammer and maybe you can slip it back under the proverbial door for me Shainhouse.

All aside, again, great article. Lots of elements, solid theme, great cases. gizam, I need a cup of coffee.

I think singing is something that, for certain people, makes or breaks a band. And all of the mentioned artist, maybe minus the Biscuits, are relatively talented vocalists, just maybe not what tickles the voice-ometer in your brain. I like the way the Biscuits sing, but I can understand if you don't.

So, like who you like, don't like who you don't like, tell people who you don't like, and tell people who you like, but in the end at least you like someone and isn't that what counts?

Except the String Cheese Incident.

There are little to no excuses for liking SCI and they are all lost on me anyway in light of the conspiracy I have against their rise to fame in Phish's wake.

They're doing a little spring cleaning?

QQC and I were looking at this the other day (so some of these are his finds). There's prince, queen, sex pistols, lemonheads, cowboy junkies, 50 cent, guns n roses, eels, matchbox 20, nine inch nails, [color:red]rolling stones, red hot chili peppers, u2, garbage, led zeppelin, pixies, black flag, radiohead, eagles, black crowes, the police, hole, gorillaz, the cars, talking heads, jet... thats all i can see right now.

blur is hilarious

what?

As a possible contender for North America's biggest Biscuits fan, I am speechless. I'm not even going to bother responding to this, because the debate is endless and in the end, it's "to each, their own." I've heard the singing complaint a ton of times. I've heard the complaints of the fans being too excited to "push" the music on people.

But have you really been listening?

Did you really look?

Did they really make all that madness cohesive?

These may be questions we should ask ourselves and if they are soundboard then I may take them. Unless of course they have Biscuits hating cooties

A lot of my friends went last year, 1/2 my family is Dutch, g'dammit, I want to go. It's sick. The Melkveg is a sick venue. Amsterdam is a sick city. This festival is going to get huge eventually.

Quote:

We did do some traditional songs, and the acoustic instruments and the lack of the drum kit in our early shows gave the illusion of bluegrass, I guess. Honestly, the difference between then and now is the instrumentation; addition of keyboards, electric mandolin, and standard drum kit, for example. It evolved because everyone wanted to have a bigger sound, perhaps to fill the larger rooms we began to play. Whether it is improvement or not is hard to say - I'm just the guitar player.

-Bill Nershi

This proves theories I'd rather not discuss like the timing of Phish's hiatus and the necessity for SCI to fill bigger rooms.

*cough* Sellouts *cough*

It's a long story. To make it short: I was supposed to cover a music showcase ala SxSW in Vegas and couldn't afford to so when I let them know ( a little last minute in their defense ) they got pissed and accused me of only writing for them for free tickets and to meet people which was way off-base, considering I would have been covering the event on my own dime.

Deanne Herman decided on their behalf to give me the cold shoulder.

Journalistic drama?

Let me win?

Ha, jokes on you. I've been retaining my vast trivial knowledge for when we start putting money on the games.

I'll give a call in a bit.

Tatu Tour 2006

Air has to be in there.

and I see some Red Hot Chili Peppers

Well written.

I'll second that Kauffman comes off as defensive.

And Nershi was a tool but he's in the SCI so it comes as no suprise.

Good job, as much as I don't like writing for jambase myself, this is really a good piece.

The sky is Deep Purple. Radiohead. The Postal Service. The Fairies and the Silver Spoons.

Plus there's two girls making out in the background. I don't know what to make of them, but lemme know when they cut their first album, that shit'll be hot.

It was snowing the day I was born.

And this is the first time I've been in Toronto since I was born for a B-day.

I say let it snow.

::shame::

I never payed much attention.

Names go in one ear and out the other.

I knew you looked familiar ANIMAL.

Chameleon, thanks again.

See ya'll tonight !

Thanks you guys.

Cowboy, that's hilarious, Biscuits and Ravers, you got all the ingredients minus Jerry's missing finger, paprika and the souls of two-thousand midgets from guantanamo bay.

Ya'll rock.

awesome...I suck at this game.

No, you rock. With your drum sticks and your furry big head.

COOKIEMONSTER !!

And on this snowy day I give you....
