No love for Lil Dickey?!? That phone call is awesome, as is the whole album…

I'll admit the first LP is the one I know. I've only heard a few songs off the new one on MBE.

The game has changed. I went full on spotify a year ago and I have no moral dilemma because through tix and merch I still find myself blowing thousands a year on music. It's like Wayne Coyne has said since the Napster days, "if you make a solid product, your fans will find a way to pay you for it."

Jason Isbell gets no screen time? How hot does your wife have to be before you get a camera shot?

Brittney slays, actually. But the rest of the band rises to the level of Counting Crows or so on the excitement scale.

We'll, sure. I mean Bob Dylan won a Grammy, after all. In 1998.

This seems more like the opinion of a Flava Flav, or maybe one of the guys from Kris Kross.

The releases of Space Oddity and Man Who Sold the World were also robust. My first day on Spotify was this weird mix of elation at the access to all the music I'd ever purchased right at my fingertips tempered by the crushing realization the Bowie releases were so damn thin.

The rykodisk releases of his discography that came out in the late 80s early 90s had a ton that should be on this list. All of the station to station out takes, the many versions of free festival, the stripped down versions of ziggy's anthems…

I saw lisa loeb at Largo about 11 years or so ago and after her encore song she launched right into "five years" (much to the surprise of the dude on stage playing with her). It was the day after Bush was re-elected and there was a pretty morose feel to the show and in the room, and the song encapsulated the feeling…

I didn't see a shitty tone. And I think the two of you agree more than you know both in relation to the actual practice of the Bill of Right's promised protections and what most people think of today when they hear the term "American exceptionalism." I got from the posts that Dillon disagrees with Moore's take on…

Every Kweller album up to Fly a Kite is superb. And fly a kite doesn't suck its just average power-pop. But On My Way, Ben Kweller and th country LP are all solid pieces of art.
