Yeah I don't know what the hell. The only thing those bands have in common is their name.I think you mean RFTT? RFTC would be Rocket from the Crypt. Used to love that band.RFTC existed in Cleveland from 74-75, before disbanding. Guitarists Dave Thomas and Peter Laughner went on to form Pere Ubu, while Cheetah Chrome started the Dead Boys. Both bands early sets included RFTC songs: Pere Ubu released "30 Seconds over Tokyo" as a single, the Dead Boys did "Sonic Reducer." Thomas and Chrome weren't the only songwriters though, Peter Laughner's "Amphetamine" is as great as any rock anthem, and was shamelessly stolen by Jeff Tweedy for the Wilco song "Misunderstood." Laughner died in 1977.There were no studio recordings of the original RFTC, but The Day the Earth Met Rocket from the Tombs collects a bunch of live bootlegs. They got back together in the early 00's for a one-off tour (I was lucky enough to see them in Chicago--they were great) with Television's Richard Lloyd replacing Laughner. The shows were documented on the excellent Rocket Redux.I've never heard of Rocket from the Tombs nor Sonic Reducer.

I don't care if this post is months old, but it is too horrific to fail to mention. Rocket from the Tombs kicked more ### in the first wave of their brief, under-documented existence than two decades worth of Vedder's affected, sheep-like bleating. Almost no band on earth has come up with anything as singularly awesome as "Sonic Reducer" and it sure as scrotum hasn't been improved upon by Pearl Jam.A whole ton of Pearl Jam ones:

They do a couple cool Radiohead covers. I'm not really into the Mumford & Sons either, but I like the Punch Brothers.Saw some bluegrass band on Conan the other night which is odd because I never watch Conan and I'm not a huge bluegrass guy. But these Punch Brothers were pretty good. Not a Mumford & Sons fan by any stretch, but they had that sort of twang, only the guy could really sing.

Difficult to say. There are so many iterations of GBV that they are probably beyond my likes and dislikes. I'll say this: I saw the "classic" line-up play Bela K's birthday party in Columbus in 94 or so and, being far too sober for that particular horrorshow, (I was only 18 at the time) I didn't think much of it, despite adoring the "I Am a Scientist" single that had just been released on Matador. Thought it was all a bunch of old-dude inde-rock inside jokes from a make-believe band, and I was probably right. (That show is documented on the bootleg Crying Your Knife Away.)'Tiger Fan said:You guys probably like Guided By Voices too :X'UniAlias said:I think you mean RFTT?

pretty much. doubletwist is awesome. free and easy to use. I switched from droid to iphone, so I don't know what they've improved in the update, but the only thing I ever had a problem with was sometimes I would accidentally duplicate a playlist when I first started using it.That's it?

I'm the last guy you want dispensing tech advice. But I bought a $20 chip about the size of an infant's toenail and put it in my phone. This chip holds 16GB, which is more than enough to house most of my music...or at least the music I still care to listen to. Once you rip (?) a CD to your computer, it is in a transferable file that you can copy/paste into your phone when you hook it up to your computer through the UBS port. Or something. I'm a moron and yet I have about 1800 songs on my phone and that's what I use to listen to music when I bike home.Dude, I don't even know how to do that.
