[QUOTE=JonG]Heh, I had 56k for a couple years, until I couldn't take it anymore, and I demanded my mother to get cable. I remember downloading off Napster, and being surprised if I got 6kb/s

:lol:[/QUOTE]
same here. it was deathly. i was always like, "yes! only half an hour for one song!"

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]same here. it was deathly. i was always like, "yes! only half an hour for one song!"[/QUOTE]
I was friends with people that had Cable and I'd go over there and almost shat myself if they got 100kb/s, but they would always say that's actually pretty slow :p

np: Riding With The King

yep, i would go to my cousins house and he would stat cancelling downloads that were going to take longer than 5 minutes. i would get very agitated.

[QUOTE] "yes! only half an hour for one song!"[/QUOTE]

I know that feeling all too well! :lol:

Yeah, my dad and I have been talking about high speed internet, so hopefully that comes soon.

:lol:

Once I got cable, I downloaded anything just because I could :)

np: Hideaway(amazing song)

*EDIT*

Pet Sounds sent out.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]I thought you liked the Stooges quite a bit?[/QUOTE]

They're not textbook punk, they were garage rock/proto-punk; I meant all the British and LA/NY punk that popped up in the late 70's and later.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]I mailed out Butch Walker - Letters to (I hope) everybody. If anyone would like it and hasn't got the mail, I'm happy to oblige. There's a short description in the mail about the album, which is sure to turn you all off downloading it. :)[/QUOTE]
Oh haha, that was you I was wondering who the person was who plugs him alot.
He reminds me of a more countryish Rufus Wainwright.

awesome. im downloading now. and convict pool is uploading.

I got Prairie Wind yesterday, but haven't listened to it yet. Anyone want to share a review?

So I was hanging out with my friends tonight, and the "What would have happened if Hendrix hadn't died?" topic came up.

So here's what I think:

Like most of the 1960s' rock icons, Hendrix would have faded from the public eye by around 1977; however, post-Woodstock he would probably become a highly respected sideman/session guitarist who on the side would be releasing critically acclaimed "avant-garde"/experimental guitar albums that wouldn't seem to go anywhere on the charts.

That's what happens to everyone :p. Jimi would probably make some weird albums and people would lose interest until he went back to his blues roots and rocked again.

Sounds reasonable. But Hendrix was so unpredictable in his day. Therefore I can't see any way around him not dying early..it just had to happen.

ive heard that its good, but not up to par with his 70's work. care to share it?

calexico's convict pool was just sent out. i realize that most people probably have it and possibly hate it, but jong requested it.

I honestly wish I could share it with you guys, but lately everytime I try to upload a cd onto my computer, the program freezes. :upset:

One of the ones I love thinking about is "what if John Lennon wasn't killed..." I mean unlike Hendrix, that wasn't John's fault.

In that case, I'd think about 1988 the Beatles would have to get back together. I mean, after almost 20 years I'm pretty sure any boiling blood will be gone. Most likely they'd do a world tour, definitally release an album, and then not do anything until George dies. We wouldn't have the anthologies, but who knows, maybe that new album would have a much better version of Free As A Bird on it.

Thickasabrick: Yea, I think it's better.

Pet Sounds is, meh.

Convict Pool is great.

Prairie Wind is very good.

Convict Pool is over-rated.

Yeah, about that Derek and the Dominoes, I misunderstood. I thought he said Clapton didnt have any passion with them./

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]I wouldn't have made that comparison, but I love them both.

So I'm sitting in the computer lab listening to I Heard It Through The Grapevine and it's [i]torture[/i] not to sing along. :([/QUOTE]


My music teacher played it yesterday. Twice. And made us do fill-in-the-blanks lyrics.

I think for my project I'm going to do Frank Zappa's Montana (could you imagine the fill-in-the-blank lyrics for that?
[I]I might be moving to Montana soon,
gonna be a dental floss _______[/I]

I think I'll do China Cat Sunflower and print out they music off of rukind.com so we have to play it in class

I'm listening to live at Carnegie Hall in 1963 by Bob Dylan, thanks Aaron.

CCR or Marvin Gaye?

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Marvin Gaye. I don't like the CCR version[/QUOTE]

Marvin Gaye = the shiz

I definitely like CCR's version, but Marvin's is better.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Marvin Gaye. I don't like the CCR version[/QUOTE]
Why not?

I like both.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]I don't like the way it's sung. I like CCR and Fogerty, but I don't think it works for the song.[/QUOTE]

I have to agree. CCR are a great band, though.

I never got Convict Pool and I requested it :(

[email]jong21790@gmail.com[/email]

haha, sorry man. sending it now.

[QUOTE]Convict Pool is over-rated.[/QUOTE]
I don't know how you can say it's over rated when it seems like most people here don't even like it.

exactly. and its not exactly a very well known album or band either.

Here's one thing that's never hit me before: What the hell does "Tangled up in blue" mean? Not the song but just the phrase/line itself. I have no idea what it could possibly be.

np: Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue

I think it's caught up in love, or something with love.

*EDIT*

To Freud: Si Tu Disais and Praskovia are the same songs in the download.

"This expression refers to a box of which the bottom somehow breaks or disintegrates and allows its contents to fall out."

Is this talking about the line "tangled up in blue"? If so, it would make a lot of sense.
