You have an impressive amount of willpower.
I'll admit, I was more tempted to open it to see if my CD had Patrick on it or not... but I think it must be Jack Lawrence, as he's on the back and it seems the UK releases have PK. Sooo.... I shall find someone to buy one for me.
-
I dunno, it's kind of like opening Christmas presents early.
I hid it so it can't tempt me. LOL -
Apparently the FYE in Louisville has it out for sale. I find this hilarious and will go buy it very soon. I'm not gonna listen until Tuesday though. Nope.

^ I know, right? I was still 17 (unable to attend shows!) and three days away from graduation. Good lord.
So like... today.... I might have gotten an eensy bit excited about the album. I still miss The Greenhornes like crazy, though, don't get me wrong. I'm still very much Greenhornes > Raconteurs. But to be fair, it's not BBS, they've had time to perfect newness, and hopefully it'll have a totally different sound. I'm okay if it blows me away. And if it doesn't, well, just what I expected.
-
No, I mean, I used to like them, 2 years ago I was spaztastic over them, then I realized that The Greenhornes are probably over around the same time as I realized that they're not the same as they used to be, and I don't like the music anymore and it has all added up to the fact that I just don't care. I do, I guess, but I care because the FINISHED Greenhornes album won't be out for ages now.
-
I feel a huge, resounding "MEH" coming on.
stupid Raconteurs.
-
Wax Fang on Friday. It's gonna be great.
-

The Lions Rampant / Cut in the Hill Gang in Covington tomorrow night. It will be AMAZING. JOHNNY WALKER!!!!
Free shirt, free single, free admission... uh, totally worth buying a tank of gas to go.
EEEEEEE.
I would just like to add that this was one of the greatest nights of my life.

I know, right? Who would have ever expected? I miss my Greenhornes. And Jack White is stealing them away to make more diluted pretentious power-pop. I mean, their album is FINISHED. But no. They aren't releasing it any time soon because the Racs have to release their album in May. It's not enough that we haven't had a GH or Brendan Benson release in THREE YEARS.
But yeah, it just doesn't do anything for me anymore. That's not to say I wouldn't go see them again. Uh, eye candy. Hello, Patrick Keeler.
-
Yeah. They're disappointing.
-
I just listened to Broken Boy Soldiers. I do not like it anymore.
Broken Boy Soldier is cool. As is Five on the Five and their cover of Headin' For The Texas Border. OHMYGOD. I LOVE HEADIN' FOR THE TEXAS BORDER. But past that, epic "meh."
-
Oh lord, did you just PWN me in White Stripes land? I think you did.
I tip my fedora to you, good lady.
-
I generally love most anything The Greenhornes cover, particularly "Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand" (originally The Who) and "Lost Woman" (Yardbirds).
The White Stripes' cover of The Soledad Brothers' "St. Ides of March" blows the original away.
The Black Keys' cover of "Have Love Will Travel," generally the version done by The Sonics but originally written by Chuck Berry.
The Gun Club's cover of "Preachin' Blues" by Robert Johnson... good lord.
HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure the greatest cover ever is The Jimi Hendrix Experience covering "All Along The Watchtower." Bob Dylan's is amazing, no doubt, but MY GOD, the JHE takes it above and beyond.

Coachella's promo team is all over the map
The rock fest's organizers have set a news conference for today (in Mexico, no less), where they'll announce this year's lineup and talk about an August festival in New Jersey.
By Geoff Boucher, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
January 21, 2008
When promoter Paul Tollett and his partners hatched the idea of a huge multiday rock festival called Coachella a decade ago, plenty of people wondered if the idea would actually go anywhere. Now the question is where it will stop.
At a news conference scheduled for today, Tollett and his business partners, which include concert promotion giant AEG Live, plan to announce the full lineup for the ninth edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio this April. It will include the Verve, the Raconteurs, Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket and Rilo Kiley.
Tollett is also planning to elaborate on his new venture in Jersey City, N.J.: a three-day August festival (reportedly headlined by Radiohead and Johnson) on a grassy expanse in 1,200-acre Liberty State Park that has a dramatic vista of the Manhattan skyline.
.... just when the Greenhornes were starting to do stuff again...

was bored at my grandparents' house today. resorted to taking photos. ah well.
-
Uh... I don't know if I've ever posted this or not... but basically my roommate and I were frolicking across campus one night and we ended up in the sprinklers in front of the library.
There were also a few involving trees, chasing rabbits, and The Thinker, but we won't post those.

Buffalo Killers and Cincinnati Suds, Saturday the 8th at the Southgate House in Covington, KY. LEVEE, YOU SHOULD COME.
-
I saw them when I was 8 years old. Greatest night of my life. haha. I was freaking the hell out... "OHMYGODTHAT'SDAVYJONES!" I remember watching them around the time of the 30th anniversary with my mom, since she liked them when she was a kid, and I immediately fell in love. Seriously, first band I really loved. I used to beg her to take me to my grandparents' house so we could listen to her Monkees records on vinyl.
A vinyl snob from an early age... -
I've loved them since I was about 8 years old. Seriously, mid-sixties garage, how can you not love them?! And once they started writing their own stuff... hurray.
AND I LOVE PRINCESS GWEN.

The back of my CD has Jack Lawrence. I live in the US. UK people are getting Patrick Keeler. I looked all over for a Patrick CD and could not for the life of me find one. Hence, I think the UK releases have Patrick Keeler on the back and on the CD.
Anyway, I opened it and it's good. It didn't really blow me away, but it's good. I need to listen to it some more but I really freakin' love Consoler of the Lonely and really freakin' dislike Rich Kid Blues.
edited later to add that the more I listen to it the more I like it. And it makes me really freakin' want to go home and play my drums. Jack Lawrence is the SHIT, by the way.
