He strikes me as a total ####### but he’s talented and funny- in a bleak Kafkaian kind of way.I just laughed and laughed and laughed about Father John Misty's Things It Would Have Been Helpful To Know Before The Revolution.
Holy bleak Kafkaian humor.
Oh Lord, I took a three-hour nap today. I'm eating so much sugar and drinking so much coffee just hoping for the crash.I just woke up from a six-hour sleep. I can't really call that a nap since it's more sleep than I usually get in an entire night. WTF.
I hate Rush, but mostly I wanted to get that in there before the rest of the anti-Rush forces beat me to it.Placement? Inclusion? Song selection?
For all my anti- prog rock schtick, I actually like the 3 significant Rush songs and have no real issue with Working Man being on the list.I hate Rush, but mostly I wanted to get that in there before the rest of the anti-Rush forces beat me to it.
Sorry to hear about the sleeping issues, that blows. What did you end up ordering for Dylan records? I got lost between the 3 threads the Dylan discussion spanned.Oh Lord, I took a three-hour nap today. I'm eating so much sugar and drinking so much coffee just hoping for the crash.
Editor's Note: All I'm getting is stomach issues.
I tried to stalk rock last night so that I could anonymously send him a great Dylan record, but I was wildly unsuccessful.

So much in the way of Dylan. It was kind of like Ronda Rousey day. I bought Another side of Bob Dylan today at the record store. I couldn't help it. I ordered Freewheelin', and would have purchased that had they had it. I'm awaiting Freewheelin', Times, and Highway 61. I was supposed to stop at those but I think Apple Jack convinced me that '63-'66 need to be covered, so I'm thinking of Bringing It All Back Home in July and maybe Blonde On Blonde as a self-birthday gift in August.Sorry to hear about the sleeping issues, that blows.

I've seen him in concert twice and he comes off as a pretentious #######. But a pretty good song writer.He strikes me as a total ####### but he’s talented and funny- in a bleak Kafkaian kind of way.
I’m EST so I suppose it’s now my birthday. Also AJ is right, those early Dylan albums before his accident are all essential.So much in the way of Dylan. It was kind of like Ronda Rousey day.

Happy near Birthday, by the way. I assume you're CST, so it's an hour to go, right?
That would have been cool as all get-out. I am sad you were unsuccessful. Teardrops. That was a nice thought to even have. I am actually easily stalkable, just not in a surprise kind of way, as my chemtrails are virtually undetectable. But I generally give contact info. to those I either like or that want an ear on the board.I tried to stalk rock last night so that I could anonymously send him a great Dylan record, but I was wildly unsuccessful.

That's right. It always surprises me when I'm traveling through Detroit, which I do frequently, that it's in the Eastern time zone. Seems like it should be Central.I’m EST so I suppose it’s now my birthday. Also AJ is right, those early Dylan albums before his accident are all essential.
I thought about asking MoCS, because I suspected he might have it, but that would have ruined the anonymity. I suppose he would have kept the secret, though.That would have been cool as all get-out.

Are you home from Europe, or how is this working? Your husband invited somebody over, so I am assuming you're home, but my assumptions are often so, so wrong.
Thank you. Michigan is on the western edge of the time zone so it’s nice in the sense we get more daylight than most.That's right. It always surprises me when I'm traveling through Detroit, which I do frequently, that it's in the Eastern time zone. Seems like it should be Central.
Happy Birthday, IL80's!

I’m not sure there’s an opening “stanza” I like better than that of Thunder Road165. Bruce Springsteen - Thunder road
I feel like this guys is pretty polarizing. People who like him really really do. And everyone else seems to be pretty meh. Put in me in the latter camp.
Sorry @Homer J Simpson
Heh. Yeah, he has my contact info. but not my address. I don't think anybody does.I thought about asking MoCS, because I suspected he might have it, but that would have ruined the anonymity. I suppose he would have kept the secret, though.
I'm back from Europe as of Thursday afternoon and thought my body clock had adjusted, but that six hours I just got might suggest otherwise. When do you leave on your trip?
That's a jamming intro, shuke, with a nice piano interlude. What is walpurgis? Is that like war pigs?
Thanks. I actually had no idea.That's a jamming intro, shuke, with a nice piano interlude. What is walpurgis? Is that like war pigs?
Oh, I see. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walpurgis_Night
Now that's some prog stuff.
A few other songs I would've chosen ahead of this one (a great song) but I'm very happy to see the Lips on your list.
Graham Bonnet was a very underrated lead vocalist. Although for Rainbow, I’d opt for anything with Dio on the Rising album.168. Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone
I anticipate this will be an unpopular choice, but this is one of the greatest rock songs ever.
Give me somethingAlthough for Rainbow, I’d opt for anything with Dio on the Rising album.
YesYou guys still with me?
Nobody I ever knew
I’m also in the latter camp, although I really don’t like him outside of the great “Jungleland”165. Bruce Springsteen - Thunder road
I feel like this guys is pretty polarizing. People who like him really really do. And everyone else seems to be pretty meh. Put in me in the latter camp.
Me, too. I'd probably have had something from the Soft Bulletin, but I have a soft spot in my heart for the Yoshimi songs, too.A few other songs I would've chosen ahead of this one (a great song) but I'm very happy to see the Lips on your list.
Smoked a lot of pot on my roofdeck in the late 90s and early 00s. I never invited him over; the then-Mr. krista did. Apparently this is a theme.
Wait, what?Smoked a lot of pot on my roofdeck in the late 90s and early 00s. I never invited him over; the then-Mr. krista did. Apparently this is a theme.
A top 20 album for me. I'd have 4.Me, too. I'd probably have had something from the Soft Bulletin
Head East did a better version and they were the original.168. Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone
I anticipate this will be an unpopular choice, but this is one of the greatest rock songs ever.
I didn't smoke pot with him; he smoked it at my condo. A lot of it. He's collaborated since the late 90s with Nora O'Connor, whom I mentioned earlier as being a friend who's toured with the Decemberists for years - she also has been part of Iron & Wine's touring band, won a Grammy as part of the Mavis Staples record that Jeff Tweedy put together, etc. Nora was friends with everyone I knew, including the initial Mr. krista, so I got to know her, and at some point she also brought Andrew Bird into the mix when she started working with him on solo stuff and his Bowl of Fire band in the late 90s. Among other times, we celebrated New Year's Eve 1998 at my place.The part where you smoked pot with Andrew Bird
