I played my mum the J version of John Denver’s "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and she liked it, but only because it reminded her of the Denver version. We had a good time singing along together though. She’s into Pulp and Radiohead, so that’s cool. My dad likes the old stuff (Young and Dylan) but he kinda moved over to the classical music, big Tchaikovski fan now…I’m more into Vivaldi.
Anyway I was at a festival here in Holland and there was a band from Sweden called The Hives. They were pretty good and put on a great show. You should check it out.

As we are all Dino-fanatics I’m sure we’ll all buy this GH thing, but aren’t greatest hits albums just an easy way of making money?
Like he says, "I like a lot more of my own songs than are on there". If you wanna hear these songs buy the albums, you’ll get the song you want and 8 or 9 more great songs.

BTW I’m not saying I aint gonna buy it…..

Well then we only disagree on a few small things. Especially the want/warn thing is hard to tell.
"Can’t believe your using my line" sounds cool as well.
The beauty of songs like this is you can just sing along your own lyrics and change them every once in a while. Most of the times I change the lyrics to fit my mood when I play the song.

You mean people in the U.S. dont have health insurrance??? That’s unbelieveble!! In our country (Netherlands) the most important task for the government is to protect its people and provide education, a place to live and health insurance for them, like providing enough hospitals and stuff. I had no idea this is still different in other countries like the U.S.
This shocks me…

Yeah that’s the one. I remember Bart and Lisa didn’t like it that much…
I+S are just another great creation of the Matt G. and the others.

Hey Pim, which playlist did you get??? At the Groningen show I got J’s playlist and one of his picks (1.14) and I play with it all the time (don’t think it’s to thick, and besides it’s got J magic in it right). Friend of mine also got a drumstick and his playlist.

Hey, I was listening to Dinosaur and the bass playing really made me think off the way Krist would play when he was in Nirvana.
So how much was Dinosaur an influence of Nirvana??? I know Kurt asked J to drum for them, but did they ever play together or something?

As for the musical part I kinda agree about Watt adding lots of chaos (which has cons and pros). But if you talk about putting up a show… Watt’s the best. He’s the one that makes you jump and scream at the concerts, not J. The only show I saw with Johnson was the 97 bizarre, and he looked all stoned. I just really like the way George and Watt form a team. Definetly a good rythemsection.

Isn’t there an episode where Bart and Lisa watch a Itchy and Scratchy and they sorta do a imitation of Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs?? It actually said the I+S episode was co-written by Quiten Tarantino…
That was hilarious.

Wow, that came as quite a shock!! I hope he’s ok. Worst case scenario -will he be able to play guitar- went through my mind for a sec… I’m glad he’s ok.
Best wishes to J, Mike and George!!!!

Yesterday was an absolutely amazing show.
J was playing so much better than in Amsterdam. They really played like a band and Mike was going like a rocket. He was smoking cigars non stop, but jumping and playing so fast, that at one point the spit was hanging from his cigar. I noticed a few people taking pictures and it would be great if anyone took one of this.

Severed lips, Raisins and Ammaring were my favourites. I was right upfront and I could see J’s setlist from where I was standing. And at the encore it said: Wagon and Freakscene but they started it with Maggot Brain. A total surprise! Maggot Brain was easily the best song, because J was at his top there. He seems more relaxed playing guitar when he doesn’t have to sing. Because I also noticed he seems happier when Mike’s singing.
At the end I got J’s setlist and a plectrum.

I also got to meet Mike after the show, and that was a very weird experience. When I made a few compliments about the show he thanked me by huging me and bowing for me like I was some sorta prince.
After that he left and I couldn’t ask him more questions.

Whipster I don’t think you noticed, but at some point while you were playing George came out and watched one or two songs. He seemed to like it.
I thought you were great, the way you can set the mood of a song is really good. Your drumplayer is also good.
I thought your music sounds a bit like a Sonic youth.

Also I agree the concert wasn’t too loud.

I’ll make sure i’m there on time. The problem’s getting back. The last train’ll be long gone when the concert’s finished. Might have to wait until 5.30 for the first train to Amsterdam.
