zoloft -- just a thought

thanks. i'm sitting here wondering if a matchbox hold my dreams...carl perkins dreams. I really like this...


....nails better, for me, what phonographic memory tried. and reminds me of dylan's latest, a sort of dreamlike referential swirl. very happy

any hints at where the song is in this program? i can't take much jimmy wakely...

you wanna be starting somethin'?

oh yes he did!

now THERE'S an album he could cover!!

and, to make it a real october surprise, dance videos!!!

EXCELLENT thread title :P Now I would like to hear a CD of John Sebastian covers. She's Still a Mystery. Six O'Clock, Darlin' Be Home Soon, Lovin' You, You Didn't Have to be so Nice, Rain on the Roof, Didn't want to have to do it, Darlin' Companion, You're a Big Boy Now, Boredom, Close Your Eyes, Co...

Okay, so, we haven't heard this yet? Oh, right, I get it. THAT's why the video disappear so quickly a while ago.

mocambo, yes. was living in toronto at the time it was broadcast live (either CHUM-FM or CFNY-FM), me w. a cassette machine up against a speaker

Is there only pain and hatred and misery? No. Is all hope lost? No. His lyrics decry the loss of hope, but only indirectly. I am so exhausted trying to provide the hope needed to withstand this onslaught of scenes pain, hatred and misery and see through the indirection. His lyrics...these lyrics, ov...

All i was suggesting was that buying the thing if/when it is available to be bought is important and until then, it always feels to me like the deal isn't yet complete. If i just downloaded it, i don't feel like I now legitimately 'have' it and i feel that the artist has been had. I do love the chan...

i think it has something to do with edison, but i don't know why i think that

oh crap. I always feel like I am stealing something if it is commercially available and i just download it only. Doesn't feel like I "have" it and doesn't feel right to not buy it if I can. C'mon clockface special edition with shut the f$%#& up on it too! [that was the name, right?] Ye...

gotta say it again: can't wait for hey clockface, special edition...

I'm not giving up on anything, don't worry. But I do realize that I cannot stand in the current whirlwinds of bullshite and maintain myself properly and not become frazzled and spent and distracted -- the whirlwinds are designed to do this, I know this in great detail. Elvis' lyrics simply are, righ...

From “Hey Clockface” -

it sure does sound sometimes like he's saying "place that I love."

Well, these lyrics really are amazing, but I am a bit surprised at how utterly, articulately woeful they are about our circumstances and our chances of survival, about how deep the wounds are, about how exactly hopeless reading them makes me feel, and so on. It is not just that I hadn't noticed befo...

yep, even better than I Want You

agreed

and i think the video is brilliant

prepared to take risks and able to succeed so often! whew!

vid link no longer works

end of the first minute, bass player lower right is in several screens thast are just a speck out of sync, so his guitar next...well, have a look/ enjoyable in so many ways. anyone good at lyrics...old ears

a lovely 'f%$@$* the virus, just watch this video, too.

This is really good stuff, i think. This is what happens when listeners are articulate and well informed and not, like rolling stone, too often just trendy or worse, 'edgy.' Objective isn't the alternative, I think. Subjective/objective both don't work. well informed, dedicated, open to new ideas, l...
