"rage:man " wrote:i sort of agree with your comments. You’re Living All Over Me has the best lineup of classic Dinosaur songs, imo. but i just don’t really like the end of the record. i mean, i like all the songs on the record (even the previous Show Me the Way cover), but its just not how i really wanted the album to end.
But originally Poledo was the last song. Show Me the Way was thrown on when they put the album on CD I think. I think YLAOM is probably their "best" album objectively speaking though I personally like WYB better.
After Make Believe, I’m not surprised. What a terrible album.
I do like Blue, Pinkerton and Maledroit and thought Green had its moments. I just hated the last one so much I’m sort of glad they’re throwing in the towel.

Not that it matters much but it’s also up here:
"IMMMainecoffKoon " wrote:The interviewer described J as something like "Cranky, stoned on pot, eating a Domino’s pizza from the box positioned on his chest so as to minimize the distance between the box and his mouth".I’ve read a few that describe J as "sloth-like" which I think is a really good description. I love the guy but watching him move across the stage does conger up images of a sloth.
Yeah, the Counting Crows thing is weird. I think this is the first interview that talks about J’s vocals without comparing them to Neil Young’s. Instead, it’s Adam Diritz!
Good read, though, J seems fairly candid but he always does like talking about his gear.
I’ve tried it a few times and I’m probably where you are. I always write a line or two that I like and try to build a song around it but then it goes nowhere or in a day or two I think it’s the stupidest thing ever. I’ve thought a lot about why this happens to me but other people are so proud of their less-than-stellar songs. I think it comes down to me being more self-conscious about what others are going to think. I over analyze my lyrics to a point that I can’t help but hate them. I’m pretty sure songwriters just have more of a "I don’t care what they think" attitude about it than I do.
I’m not about to go back and read this whole thing but how on earth did we get to 6 pages in 2 days? That never happens on this board!
Most of the time, there isn’t a towel hamper at peoples’ houses so I just hang it up so it’ll dry quicker. I just assume it’s my towel while I’m there and they’ll wash it when I leave.
What grosses me out is smashed bananas. I get a gag reflex every time.
