this is totally random, but i believe that street life is conflating Kaity Tong (local newswoman in NYC) and Connie Chung, as both are Asian female newsladies.

the MCing on Wu-Tang Forever is off the charts. it’s hard to handle, actually.

But as a record collector you should always buy the B-sides and 7″‘s.
It is like saying that you hate The Beatles “Anthology”. Useless as a record but fun to own none the less.
And no I am not saying Sufjan is a good as The Beatles it was just the example I used.

considering I mention the fact that it’s an outtakes and demo collection in the piece, yeah I’m aware that it’s an outtakes collection. I don’t know how good it’s supposed to be. But I know that as a writer if I got a novel published, I certainly wouldn’t release what I’d cut from the book as separate collections of short stories because it would cheapen my original work. That’s all.

Uhm…Ya know that Avalanche is a cd made up of b-sides and outtakes right?
How good is a record like that supposed to be?

I tried too late to nab tickets for CSNY and curse myself for it, even if the Y is the only part of the quartet I care about. Seeing him wail out a 10-minute version of Powderfinger with Crazy Horse on St. Patrick’s Day a couple years back was something like a religious experience. Of Neil’s many incarnations, CSNY is among my least favorite, but from what I’ve read it sounds like this tour is mostly Neil dominating the show. As it should be.

I seem to remember KRS saying something similiar to the “Katie Chung” line with a line like “your lyrics are stiff like David Koppel.” Might’ve been on that D&D AllStars track with Mad Lion.

Oh, man…you should hear me freestyle Hold Steady lyrics. “So we passed out in back of a shut-down White Castle, but we found some tasty babes and Tastykakes to keep us satisfied.” It helps to say it in his voice and think of the riff from “Cat Scratch Fever.”

Agreed…I pretty much bought everything Def Jux put out that didn’t have the name Mr. Lif on it. Though Lif has definitely improved a great deal since the beginning, but ultimately he’s a bit too radical for my tastes. My worst buy: definitely SA Smash. Camu Tao is pretty good but I dunno what they were going for on that one. You’d have to eat a lot of blue corn tortilla chips and listen to a lot of MC Noel Weissman to get into that (my friend and I have always wondered if Barman’s heard that..I hope so.)

Notes–I’m seeing CSNY on July 31st. I’ve never seen them and I hear they’re playing a lot of solo Neil stuff. Can’t wait. I can’t wait for that Hold Steady either. I’m definitely seeing them when they come to LA again. They’re just ridiculously good…Ian hold the vitriol.

Bring on October 3 and the new Hold Steady album.

Except for Living With War I have been very bored this year.
