Eddie only has one album to choose from (the Into the Wild Soundtrack) but there's a lot to choose from Nusret. In fact, I can't even remember the one I have right off the top of my head. I honestly don't listen to it all that much but it's there whenever I feel the need for something different.

It was the two cuts Eddie Vedder has on there with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan that sent me out in search of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's music.

I wonder how many other artists playing in the wake of Bonzo's death also didn't mention it? Should I also forever write them off as well? Maybe, just maybe they had their reasons for staying mum on the subject or perhaps they had no reasons at all. It's kinda like the poster that said they would never like The Clash again because of comments one of them made about Zep. Who cares what other musicians think of their peers, it's all boils down to my own personal opinion as to whether I like a particular artist or not. I could give a shit what others think, fellow musicians or otherwise. That sort of reasoning (or in this case, the lack thereof) boggles the mind.

Isn't it Amazing Journey? In any case I recently saw it on VH1 and while I enjoyed it quite a bit myself since it tells the entire story of The Who, the viewer is never allowed the luxury of hearing a song from beginning to end throughout the entire movie. In that regard, The Kids Are Alright still gets my vote as the best Who doc ever made, then again I haven't seen all of them that are out there.

From Billboard: Young Eschewing CDs For 'Archives' Project Neil Young Gregg Goldstein, The Hollywood Reporter Another year, another new twist in the saga of Neil Young's long-in-the-works "Archives" series. The multi-disc first volume of the project, which has shifted release dates countless times in the past two years, was most recently scheduled to arrive Feb. 19. But Young told Billboard last week that a new technological twist is responsible for the latest delay. "I know it's in technical production now, but it's only coming out on Blu-ray and DVD," he said during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival, where he and his Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young bandmates unveiled their "Deja Vu" documentary. "There won't be CDs. Technology has caught up to what the concept was in the first place [and] how we're able to actually present it. But there's no doubt it will come out this year." That's right: no CDs, a format Young has long despised due to its audio limitations. Instead, Young is utilizing DVD capabilities to present an interactive "time line" for the music, allowing users to experience articles and film clips from a song's given era as well as ephemera like lyric sheets. "Archives" appeared closer than ever to release in October, when Young's new studio album, "Chrome Dreams," was bundled at select retail outlets with a bonus CD with a song from "Live at the Riverboat." That collection, which will appear in "Archives," chronicles a week's worth of concerts taped in Toronto shortly after Buffalo Springfield split. The package is also expected to include the previously released concert sets "Live at the Fillmore East" and "Live at Massey Hall." The remainder will feature material cut with Young's early Canadian band the Squires, recordings from the period during which he lived in Topanga Canyon, Calif., and scores of previously unreleased studio tracks.

It's important to remember that even Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman eventually became part of the system. What better way to affect change than from on the inside?

Hendrix' version is actually a cover, it was originally done by a band called The Leaves. While it's clear it's definitely not a Hendrix original, there does seem to be some dispute over the authorship of the original version: http://www.tsimon.com/heyjoe.htm

It's funny to see the vinyl thing happen in reverse. Over the years I've tried not to duplicate my vinyl collection on CD but in the case of some of my favorite artists it was damn near unavoidable. To this day I still purchase new and used vinyl even though my record player has been in storage since the late 90s. One day we shall be reunited.

I feel much the same way about Ryan Adams' Easy Tiger, which, according to some messageboards devoted to him, his hardcore fanbase hated but the critics loved. That's not to say Ryan has ever tried to be experimental in the manner of Wilco (at least not on record) but quite a few of his albums have been more than a little uneven in the past. With Easy Tiger he showed he could turn in a well balanced, even keeled record, something his harshest critics thought he would never be capable of.

Great finds there. The Long Ryders are far too often overlooked even though they're pioneers of the alt.country movement (even though they were called "cowpunk" back then) and as a huge David Lindley enthusiast I've been meaning to get my hands on some Kaleidoscope records for quite some time now.

I think so too. Sky Blue Sky is proof positive that Wilco don't need to be highly experimental every time out just to be worthy of notice. Sometimes all a body needs is some good ol' solid rock n' roll and I think they more than delivered that with this record.

Mother's Finest were just through here last Sunday. I would love to see them but it just wasn't in the cards over the weekend. They are without a doubt one of the best live bands I have ever seen. They got a nice write up in the local paper I'll post shortly.

I don't mind some solo Sting but a great deal of it begins to sound like the same song over and over again. I definitely prefer his work with The Police.

Amazon should have it.

The Yayhoos "Love Train" (The O'Jays) Drive-By Truckers "People Who Died" (Jim Carroll Band) R.E.M. "Witchita Lineman" (written by Jimmy Webb, performed by Glen Campbell) Pearl Jam "Crazy Mary" (Victoria Williams) Grateful Dead "Big River" (Johnny Cash)

Having seen the Stones on tour as recently as just a couple years ago I can't say I got that impression at all, especially since a fair number of tunes came from the album that were out in support of at the time, A Bigger Bang. I saw no evidence whatsoever of a band hoping to relive the old days but one firmly rooted in the present. If that was their goal, they failed miserably, especially by playing new material. In regard to Janis, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet as I haven't read the entire thread but even if it has, it never hurts to recommend Festival Express again.

At The Pier in Raleigh, NC circa 1982:

Who knows what the Beatles would have been like as a live band in their latter years, to say they couldn't pull it off is to engage in total conjecture and speculation since no one really knows. And yes, I think their studio craft speaks volumes about their abilities as a band, onstage or not. Same for the other artists I mentioned. R.E.M. took those years off the road just for the purpose of honing their skills in the studio and still kick ass on stage.

I named Diamanda only because this is a Zep board and figured others here would be familiar with the name since John Paul Jones has worked with her but like I said, lots of other vocalists site her as an influence including the much beloved Bjork. Even though I'm not a fan of her style, I've never been one to engage in Yoko bashing. It's rather obvious John Lennon loved her very much and she continues to honor his memory so I can't say I really have anything against her.

Like her or not, Yoko is considered a huge influence on many, many performers. Just ask Diamanda Galas. That said, I've never been very tolerant of her banshee wail myself and once emptied a pizza place in Greenville, NC by playing Kiss, Kiss, Kiss on the jukebox non-stop back in the 80s when Double Fantasy first came out.
