| Classic rock: best remasters I think the Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) produced remasters are excellent especially the 40th anniversary edition of Aqualung. He also did the ELP catalog, but I have not heard them. I need to be enticed with extra goodies to buy another edition... | |
| A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band You need to check out www.musicvault.com. This site has a lot of Brothers video performances through the years. Also, there is some extremely rare footage of Chuck Leavell playing with Sea Level and BHLT (Betts, Hall, Leavell, and Trucks) doing so... | |
| Rembering the 80s: College Rock Recently discovered a fun website dedicated to the 80's college music phase- www.slicingupeyeballs.com. Goofy url, but the site contains some great archival footage of bands from that era including the Cure, Talking Heads, etc. Good fun if you lik... | |
| year end best of list...the "Bones" Appreciate the feedback Slaw. I ordered both Frazey's yesterday. Next post will probably be a review of the live bonus discs from my Christmas wish list: Supertramps' "Crime of the Century", Drive By Truckers "English Oceans", and a couple of old ... | |
| year end best of list...the "Bones" Slaw and Mofi,Thanks for the additions. I agree with Ryan Adams and love Lucinda. You have given me some new ideas for stocking stuffers. | |
| Dream Syndicate Sounds like fun. Thanks for the heads up on the BFTG upcoming release by the way. With all the software corrected radio fodder these days, maybe it is time for the garage bands of the world to shake things up again. How about compensating for lack... | |

| A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band Yep. Chuck can tickle the ivories. His work with Clapton, the Stones, and others is a testimony to that. His solo albums are worth checking out. I particularly like "Southscape". | |
| A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band Well said Adam. The brothers have been a favorite for many years. I have seen them live in many incarnations as well and also have enjoyed some of the spin off projects like Sea Level. Years ago, I went to the old Moonshadow Saloon in Atlanta and ... | |
| for any bluegrass fans... These guys sound great. Thanks for posting. I love the recent batch of bluegrass bands: Railroad Earth, Infamous Stringdusters, Old Crow Medicine Show, Yonder Mountain String Band, Chris Thile, and others. They are stretching the boundaries of the... | |
| Dream Syndicate Thanks Jazz. I guess my post made the car service sound like some kind of exotic designer drug. It is really just a way for me to have a few beers and avoid the Five-O so to speak. | |

| Porqupine Tree I had a similar experience with Porcupine Tree. I was not familiar with them until several Agon folks recommended them in a thread I started about "new" prog bands. Like you, I find hints of old school prog bands in PT including Pink Floyd, Rush, ... | |
| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band Indigo Swing's albums and their singer Johnny Boyd's solo efforts are fun as well.And don't forget Sinatra. You can occasionally pick up Sinatra box sets on Ebay pretty cheap. |
