    Dark Star. Love this compilation and wish I'd taken the time to order the full ten disc set while it was first advertized. There is a confident rawness here that is just rising to maturity.

    I gotta say, Parkas, I'm surprised that I like them, at least in a way. You're right, though, I got hooked seeing MMJ live before I ever heard an album. On the other hand, Circuital is one of my favorite albums of the past few years, so obviously once I "got" them, I "got" them.

    I gotta say, gratefuldean, I've listened to several My Morning Jacket albums as well as Jim's solo record, and they don't do a thing for me. "Rolling Stone" raves and raves and RAVES about them, but I just don't hear what all the fuss is about. Sure, they're a very talented group of musicians, but their music feels very formulaic to me and not at all psychedelic. They must be one of those bands you gotta see live. Studio albums just don't seem to do them justice.

    Regions of Light and Sound of God I have this nagging feeling that My Morning Jacket is going to go all Radiohead on me. This album doesn't do much to allay that fear. The fact that I like the album isn't much help, since I also liked "OK Computer," but hated "Kid A" and everything after. Naahhh, it'll never happen. Will it?

Been in the mood for some progressive rock since Friday morning. OHO is actually based in Baltimore, MD, and has been around since the '70s. They have been called "the American answer to Pink Floyd," though I'm not so sure that aptly describes their music. They have a heavy Celtic folk influence to their sound backed with powerful, haunting female vocals. Check 'em out on CD Baby.

Al Bell wrote, "I'll Take You There"after his little brothers funeral while in the backyard. Sung by the Beautiful Staple Singers. I have never not loved this song. I dreamly sang this throughout Veteran's Day.

Not sure how many of you--if any--are familiar with the music of Daniel Higgs (e.g.: Lungfish, Skull Defekts), but I recently scored a copy of the limited edition LP "The Godward Way." Higgs's solo work harkens back to early music--pre-music industry music--and is probably hard on the casual music listener, but his work is just so...PROLIFIC. "The Godward Way" is a 24-minute "jam" on the long-neck banjo and mouth harp with somew chanting/singing thrown in for good measure. And, as an added bonus, the LP came with a CD copy for easy portability. I have several of Higgs's solo records, and, if you're interested in jumping into that realm, I highly suggest starting with "Say God" of "Beyond & Between." They're less abrasive than such records as "Atomic Yggdrasil Tarot" or "Clairaudience Fellowship."

Found this to be the highlight show of the Spring '77 box. They are all close though. The band is in the same groove each of these five nights and it just seems to be the venue and crowd that are changing it up. These CD sleeves are very nice and would have made the E72 box far, far, better without adding much in the way if extra cost. They would have easily fit in the trunk, too!

Man, I haven't sat down to listen to the Ramones in what feels like ages, and it's amazing how one can forget how incredibly amazing a band truly is/was. I started listening while driving to work, and my one-year-old was squealing and dancing in her carseat. It does a poppa proud to see his little one love his favorite bands, too!

Giving "New Moon," the new Men album, a try. It was on my Amazon recommendations list, and I have no idea why. It's mildly terrible. That's about as well as I can summarize whatever it is I'm listening to.
