i had a blast! the new new songs sounded really great! the band was as tight as one would be after only a few rehearsals. i noticed Tommy watching Murphy’s hand to figure what notes to hit on the bottom. and it worked good enough for rock and roll. you can imagine a rhythm section between Tommy and Michael Bland being pretty fierce. it definately kept Dan and Dave on their toes. i am looking forward to seeing this lineup again. hopefully they will know more songs by then, particularily older ones from “The Horse they Rode in On”, there were none from it and it’s always been my fave. “Cartoon” and “Summer of Drugs” were awesome crowd sing-alongs, the latter being when i though this band really hit a stride about quarter into the show..

Hey, bud, that’s pretty funny. But, as you know from your search, there are lots of Steve Marshes in the world. So you should try refining your search. Try “Steve Marsh” and “awesome.” That should work.

I can’t count the number of Run Westy Run shows saw. They did rock live.

As a former CCClub regular and I’m old (37) we nearly got my friend Bill to Kick Tommy Stinson’s ass one night just for the hell of it. I was also at the CC Club the night before Bob Stinson died. He was sitting in a booth on the little stagey area under the Elvis Bust all by himself looking like hell drinking a beer. The CCClub was the place for a while. Often saw the SA guys there. No one ever star gawked thou. People just hung out and drank cheap beer and smoked cartons of Smokes.

I'm 38, so I'm a grizzled veteran and I'm gonna go down Memory Lane here for a while, so 'scuse me while I indulge myself. My first 4 concerts were Rush, Devo, the B52's & Pat Benatar. I love the 'Mats & Husker, but i never saw either of 'em in their Entry heyday. I used to see the Suburbs on a regular basis in '84, and a St. Paul punk trio called Boy Elroy, too. The first local bands I used to go see a lot were Babes In Toyland (they always put on amazing shows) & Run Westy Run. I never got into Soul Asylum, but I've got nothin' against 'em and think they're nice guys. My 6 degrees of Tommy Stinson separation story is that I went out with a gal who used to hang out w/ him as a teenager & give him haircuts. I think Tommy S. is about the coolest rock star ever, btw.

My favorite album of '05 is Hold Steady "Separation Sunday."

My 3 favorite songs right now, though, are the Bangles' cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter," a Lyrics Born track called "Do That There," and an old Jim Ford song done Muscle Shoals-style called "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me Till the Cows Come Home."

haha, i’m pretentious cuz i like Sufjan Stevens? awesome.
what if i said i liked him because he’s ‘Christian’ music? (not really)

i hate Pitchfork Media w/ a passion fwiw

my taste rarely aligns w/ theirs, Sufjan is one of the few exceptions

G'head and google me, southernman. You'll see that it will be a lot easier to "sweet home" me if you have help.

And why am I pretentious? I'm not the one who loves sufjan. I like oasis. In 1995, that was as close as you could get to lynyrd.

Why don't we all quit this string and talk about tapes n tapes before I have to slap somebody.
