The 2004 reunion tour was a window to the alchemic magic of the late 80s, but the closing December shows were clearly a rising cream...I own 12/12...utterly magnificent... ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTvj-3AhXfs This isn't it, but close enough...holy Shi'ite, do I miss Kim D. Velvets & Pixies. ...

​​ /watch?v=vN1y-aKtNBA ​Virginity lost is virginity irredeemable. However, the Plangent transfer of the original Betty Board reels mastered in HD by J.Norman likely facilitate the closest thing to that 'first time' feeling for which I could have hoped after shacking up with the commonly circulated ...

Fascinating. Strip most posts of verbosity and pretense and you've the same raw brand of argument and judgmentalism native to much of the internet. Most prominently, the conformity of objective observation to substantiate subjectively endorsed cultural preferences and socioeconomic theories. So, whe...

Of course, I'm discovering most of my favoured music retrospectively, which involves significant time exploring the social, cultural, and artistic terrain of 1966-1980ish (Big Beatles to Prime Punk via Pullulating Psychedelia and Maturing Metal); however, amongst rock's fertile epoch, I'm increasing...

Here in Appalachia, the bear has long been a frequent and visible denizen. Since June, puppy & I have had 2 stand-off encounters along the remoter sections of a ridge trail we run; each resolved quickly after some bilateral inspection with the bear retreating after a jostle of the small 'cowbell' I'...

...and for a brief moment my conventionally staid CMG baseline pulse quickened...but alas, the anthemic subject line was but a mirage. Nonetheless, as a personal statement to the genre's durability, I'll shortly embark on 30 Trips Around the Sun! WOOT!/peace, K (Hey, Hey, My, My....)

Credit to poster Modern's clearly unintended power of suggestion in another thread that I ended up listening to - what I consider - the Pistol's quintessential release, "Spunk", on the ipod while running this afternoon. And what a miserable affair the trail continues to be with about 6 inches of wet...

Big - Fantastic! Do you remember which Pistols release? Aside from Floyd, I've purchased more crappy SP boots, semi-official, and supposedly official releases than any other act. Your electic taste strikes a personal chord: As I began delving into Classical almost 18 months ago, I was possessed by a...

...though proximate "new topic" & "post reply" options confounded my spatially challenged perception!

Thanks so much JB! Good heavens, it's already Saturday! Yet, with the snow pack, the trail is out of the question until Sunday (rain and 40F+), so an early wake up isn't imperative as I can straggle into the pool at anytime...anyway, the comfortable numbness of too many Sam Adams's Cold Snap on a ch...

Thanks so much, mb!

Okay, it's 0130 EST so I've likely just heard a rerun segment, but while covering some NCAAM action from last night, ESPN's Neil Everett just cited a passage from Hunter's lyrics to St. Stephen when describing a turnover and resulting basket: "one man gathers what another man spills"....just too dar...

Lance! Thanks not only for the lovely and immediate welcome, but expedited processing of my registration as well! If great minds occupy similar orbits, then I'll consider myself elevated for having contemplated purchase of the Monteaux box prior to your recco. I'm not much for the formality of intro...

The prior post regarding BB King, albeit it temporally remote, provides a providential nexus with my bump (resurrection) of this thread...yet bear with me! Fascinating, but a 5 month void seems excessive for even a CM site! In November 2013, following nearly 2 years of exclusive Grateful Dead patron...

The snow and ice have passed my little corner of Appalachia, but even in 4-low the 4Runner won't make it off the mountain tonight. So, it's as good a time as any to confess my latest fiscal sins. Like the ruble, my New Year's resolve (dissolve) to remediate 2014's borderline reckless music-related s...
