Thank God, he’s all right! How much are they asking for? Whatever they’re asking for, pay it!

Meat Puppets
Rise to Your Knees [Anodyne]

We shouldn’t be having this conversation. Seriously. The idea that it’s 20 years later and Dinosaur Jr. has recorded a new album and the Kirkwood brothers have again revived the Meat Puppets—it’s enough to make you wonder that if you push modern medicine hard enough, maybe we can bring D. Boon back to life and put The Minutemen back together. This music, after all, was birthed in a punk-rock culture that gave little credence to the idea of longevity.

Anyone familiar with "Ghosts I’ve Met" ?

"GHOSTS I’VE MET Featuring players from Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Sleater-Kinney, Sparklehorse and Actual Tigers, Ghosts I’ve Met is composed mostly of former Seattleites, some of whom now live in Brooklyn. The group’s contemplative, melancholy tunes never descend into nostalgia or self-pity—fitting for a band that requires a cross-country trip just to practice together. Though never officially released, the album the band recorded at Kitty Wells’ studio in 2005 garnered significant airplay on venerable Seattle indie station KEXP. They retuned to Wells’ studio a few months ago and recorded another record, providing fodder for this cross-country tour, the band’s first. Though sometimes compared to Ryan Adams, Ghosts I’ve Met eschew the mercurial troubadour’s erratic flashes of listenability in favor of an even, expansive sound that nearly always succeeds in its intentions. If the alt-country scene is a house party, Ghosts I’ve Met aren’t the drunk guy in the lampshape. Rather, they’re the quiet guy in the corner spinning fascinating yarns for anyone with the attention span to listen." — BEN WESTHOFF

Thanks for posting.
Well worth viewing, just to see Lou "in action."
J looked like he was sitting in a dentist’s office, waiting for it all to be over.
And, Murph was thirsty.

Thanks for posting pix, m_g. They aren’t bad at all (last one is a little psychedelic )

Thanks for reporting accurate song titles, Simmons!

The guys must be a little jet-laggy, no?

"Enlightenment is a sublime word, if one goes back to its meaning; it means illumination of the spirit through truth, liberation from the shadows of error, or uncertainty, of doubt. Enlightenment is, in its deepest meaning, the transfiguration of reason. "
