Let's talk about music

Fishman and both drummers from The Dead on there goes to show how profitable non-stop touring can be if you have a rabid fanbase. Neither bands has made crap from records. That's almost purely ticket sales.

I saw Bill and Mickey from the Dead Inc. But I didn't notice the dude from Phish there. But yeah crap records sales or not.

Awesome. If'n was a staple in my collection for awhile, too.

fIREHOSE bump


musically they still sound alright although I did catch a few verses that were out of place, but man is Ed's voice gone.

Damon Krukowski of Galaxie 500 and Damon & Naomi breaks down the meager royalties currently being paid out to bands by streaming services and explains what the music business' headlong quest for capital means for artists today.

Galaxie 500's 'Tugboat' was played 7,800 times on Pandora in the first quarter of 2012, for which its three songwriters were paid a collective total of 21 cents, or seven cents each."

You wouldn't know he's by far the youngest of the three.

Shameless.

Travelling Wilburys. If you don't know about them, do yourself a favor and find out.

Shameless.

As for sharing our music without a business model of any kind, that's exactly how I got into this-- we called it punk rock

Yep.

A lot of legend in that band. I also recall an SNL skit involving the Wilburys.

Doesn't get much better in my book. Last year, sometime, I believe, their website posted a video of basically all this old VHS camcorder footage of when they all started getting together at their various houses (mainly Dylan's) and playing, which turned into the Wilburys. It's like watching America's Funniest Home Videos, but with rock legends. I think they only posted it for a few days for their anniversary or something, because I can't find it any more. There is some good footage also on Tom Petty & Heartbreaker's 'Runnin Down a Dream' documentary, which is superb in its own account if you're a Petty fan.

Got to see Phil Cook of Megafaun play a free solo set tonight. Dude is insanely good. It's a crime that Bon Iver has made millions while the rest of his former bandmates from Deyarmond Edison (Justin Vernon + Megafaun) are still relatively unheard of.

[Godric]

I know a lot of people hate these guys... Why exactly? Is there a consensus reason?

[Kraftster]

Man, the Wax Tailor radio on Spotify is essential for getting late night work done. Caravan Palace is my adderall.

If you like the Wilburys, you also should check out Jeff Lynne's (ELO, proclaimed 5th Beatle for the Anthology sessions) solo album Armchair Theater.

I dig Lynne, and will always be thankful for his contributions to Harrison and Petty albums.

I have the chance to see The Sonics tomorrow. Should I go?

[columbia]

I made the mistake of seeing ? and the Mysterians.....but the Sonics were clearly a better band.

I'd say yes.

[Gaucho]

€ 28, holy crap. I'll think about it.

[columbia]

Check you tube for the 2012 performances.

Good guitar sound, but weak vocals.
(Can't blame them on the latter however.)

I'm thinking that you shouldn't go after watching those.

[Gaucho]

Oh well, I already missed Van Dyke Parks (Still kicking myself. Violently.), Patti Smith, and Lou Reed this week, so I might as well skip them, too. Then again... damn.

You deserved to cry 96 tears for that mistake

[FreeCandy44]

Cry......cry cry cry. Didn't they just play a free show at hartwood acres this past summer?

I remember playing my mom's ELO stuff over and over when I was a kid.
