It's called jamming and they're good at it. Don't dis the Dead.narlus said:what's to understand about a bunch of smelly hippies aimlessly noodling about for hours on end?
Damien Jurado is my favorite for a rainy day. Mellow, relaxing, and fairly upbeat. Very Seattlish.
was he in a band prior to his solo stuff? i've seen teh name a bazillion times but can't say i'm familiar w/ the music.
I like music that entails aimless noodling and even I can't stand the dead.narlus said:what's to understand about a bunch of smelly hippies aimlessly noodling about for hours on end?
Soulive does it for me on a crappy day.
I don't think so, but if it was any band, I would say it was Pedro the Lion; he's fairly similar but generally more positive in his outlook on life. He's worth looking into IMHO.narlus said:
actually, i prefer it if they are smelly swedish hippies.Westy said:
These guys represent old school. :dancing:
With already dubious showering habits I find it difficult to distinguish regular Northern Europeans from the hippies. Unless their donning a track suit or something similar.narlus said:

i'd say that your comfort level of rap/hiphop and pop music in general will go a long ways to predicting yr reaction to that top 500 list...
My picks-
Durutti Column (just don't let it push you over the edge)
Thievery Corporation
The Clutters
Niney the Observer

yeah they had some kick ass music. do you have their last cd? into the night? they had progressed to background vocals and string accompanyment (sp?, or did i just make up a word?)
their bootleg live cd rocks too
Currently my favorite band. Good call!!!greenchris said:
while we're on rain..."no rain" by Blind Melon, "tones of home" is better though
I think that I have all of their albums except the Live CD (Good, Yes, Cure for Pain, Like Swimming, B sides and Otherwise, and The Night). The Night did show a lot of expansion in their music. That album kind always kind of depresses me when I listen to it as I had just gotten it and was really listening to it about the same time as when we had to put our dog to sleep.ridetoofast said:
Did you ever seen them live? It surprised me how the played with this mellow vibe, but still came off as big and intense.
unfortunately no i never saw them live. didnt even know about them until about fall of 01 but the first time i heard them within like 30 seconds of the cd playing i was snappin' my fingers. about a month or two after that i had bought every cd i could find.
i never did see Morphine, but did see a mark sandman-led outfit called candybar. not sure how long that lasted before he got Morphine together...his other (first?) band Treat Her Right got some fans but i was not among them.
she told me things about her life
she never told me she was someones wife...
lyrics from a Treat Her Right song...thougth they were quite funny

it wasnt just his voice...he had a distinct style of playing the bass too.
it was just a damn shame as they were on tour in support of a major record label when he had said chest grabber
