Probably not a big deal, but I'm guessing this should be the album Tell Em What Your Name Is! not self-titled.  Self-titled is EP with #####, I Love You.

You're right. I was looking at "self-titled" for another artist when I chose this. Thanks for the catch.

 
Statesboro Blues, this should have been first

As far as Isbell and the DBTs.. I have a good friend who's gone from massive Hold Steady fan to massive DBTs fan.  I've never connected with either.   I know Isbell left long ago but was surprised to see how much more famous he is than his former band.  That song, his "biggest" by a mile, was quite slow and country and not exactly up the zilla alley.  BUT I GET IT

I know this

I like early Gabriel solo better than Genesis but that might be partly due to Phil overexposure as a youth

Look up the Genesis Foxtrot interviews if interested in that history.. I may have found out about that here..

 
12.29 New Order, Low-Life (1985)

Love Vigilantes
Face Up

Not breaking new draft ground here, but this is my actual favorite New Order record. I often wait on them 'cause I know PC&L generally goes first, but I'd say this is their most cohesive album, with the best collection of fully-realized songs. This is New Order to me. Glad to get Barney, Hooky, Stephen and Gillian on the island.

Could've gone a number of different ways with the songs, and I hate leaving The Perfect Kiss and others off, but I stuck with the better-known Love Vigilantes (the album opener) and Face Up (the album closer) which I feel isn't appreciated enough. Some characteristically cheesy Bernard lyrics, but they commit to it and make it work, and it's part of the charm. 

 
Stevie They Won't Go When I Go

Here's a slow piece that's more for me

I don't know this album well, or enough Stevie period,  I have not explored enough there!  the ol lady likes to listen to Stevie radio on Pandora sometimes.  All they ever play are the same big hits.  Pandora is a huge pile of ###

I respect the dude, particularly for sticking it in PG's face as the band got massive with their drummer as temporary last gasp front man

You know it really sticks in Pete's craw.. nonetheless he is my guy here

 
Nothing good or bad to say about this.  If I hated it I'd skip.. not my thing but I'm digging it enough

Did they replace ODB with a fake ODB?

 
Alright, I can't hold off on this one anymore. I've seen this album played in full three times and seen this band at least ten times. A lot of my picks and favourites revolve around concerts and moments but if I had to pick one show as my favourite concert, it would be seeing these guys in 2009 at Lee's Palace. 

Their shows evoke such camaraderie and so much joy, a sort of brotherhood amongst everyone in attendance. There's a reason they tend to play 3 or 4 shows in a row in the same city and usually stick to small intimate venues. 

These are all sing a long songs, they are all drinking songs. This is my favourite album of theirs since it takes the storylines from the first couple albums and put them over an expanded sound with more actual singing and non-guitar instruments than their previous albums. And it's my favourite of theirs because I've seen these songs performed so many times.

I love the piano backed ballads (First Night may be my favourite Hold Steady song, Citrus, Southtown Girls, Arms and Hearts)

I love the drinking/drugs songs (Massive Nights, Party Pit, Chillout Tent, Hot Soft Light, You Can Make Him Like You)

I love the story songs (Stuck Between Stations, Chips Ahoy!)

Honestly, each of their first four albums is amazing in its own way but if I can only have one, it's this one (though at times it's probably been each of the other four). The world's greatest bar band. And I'm taking the expanded edition because "Arms and Hearts" is low key a top ten Hold Steady song.

12.32 - The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America (2006)

"Stuck Between Stations" - 4:10
"Chips Ahoy!" - 3:09
"Hot Soft Light" - 3:53
"Same Kooks" - 2:47
"First Night" - 4:54
"Party Pit"  - 3:56
"You Can Make Him Like You" - 2:48
"Massive Nights" - 2:54
"Citrus"  - 2:44
"Chillout Tent" - 3:42
"Southtown Girls"  - 5:10

It's sunny and beautiful out here in Rhody, but my back is freakin killin me.  So strange how backs work.  It's usually barometric pressure related for me.  I have my pick ready, unless I change my mind.

 
Gram Parsons - Return of General Grievous

So far this exercise has been a lot of the more widely likable stuff genres I never listen to have to offer.  It's OK.  I like a good country duet.

Past 3 rounds you took something I was eyeing up.  I would have taken it next pick if still there.  

 
Morphine Cure For Pain

I know these guys so much I even had a Treat Her Right CD

My first concert when I got to Maryland/DC, 9:30 Club 1995

Gone too soon friend

 
OK this is why I did this.  Donald Fagen - Tomorrow's Girls

I never checked this out and probably never would have, as much as I dig the Dan

I quit smoking the ganj so I don't go crazy for this sound as much as I used to, but still quite tight

 
I remember this being a big thing when I was younger but I didn't give a hoot about the Dan back then.  Pretty sure this was a #1 record in the early 90s

ETF misremembering

You don't have to deal with the dealers
Let your boyfriend deal with the dealers
It only gets inconvenient
When you wanna get high alone
You don't have to know how to get home
Let your boyfriend tell the driver the best way to go
It only gets kind of weird
When you wanna go home alone

 
Joni Mitchell

can't mistake this shtick.  I can take it but don't like it much.  Frankly I don't even like the parking lot tune much
