HenryJLittlefinger posted:Also didn’t Ryan Adams turn out to be a sex pest? Yeah. Seven women came forward a few years ago and accused him of sexual misconduct, two of those women being Phoebe Bridgers and his ex-wife Mandy Moore. The accusation being that he'd offer to help female musicians with their careers and then immediately pursue them romantically. When they rebuffed his advances he'd turn on them and try to hinder their careers, send them harassing texts, etc. One woman claimed that he sexted with her while she was underage, but after the FBI looked into that they found no evidence supporting this, and the woman in question later claimed that she'd lied to him about her age at the time. So he's no pedo, but seems to react to rejection with bile and viciousness. So, sort of a sex pest..?

So this guy’s incredible. Psychadelic, somewhere between crooner, soul, and country. Found him a couple years ago thinking he’d blow up. Guess it hasn’t happened? Still. https://youtu.be/XalU3mI0wNs And one off his EP, which is him playing some dirty, dirty slide blues without much of a band behind: https://youtu.be/VFrXKWHw0P8

poo poo, now I'm going down a HRM rabbit hole... I'd only really listened to Have Moicy! before but getting more into their earlier stuff and it's great, even with all the 60s west village goofiness it still captures the vibe of old time music perfectly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp6_WoxMHEQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8S2hCUVisg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PoL5s5KGO4 This thread on mudcat is also a great read, OP from 1999 and tons of awesome info about the band that you probably couldn't read anywhere else: https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=9245,9245

Peck is very good imo Unrelated, this song showed up on a Spotify station a couple months ago and I have listened to it like 100 times since then. Reminds me of America a bit. It's only got like 1.5k views on YouTube which feels criminal to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTzwDMfqR-U

Was doing a thing like a New Years' resolution except I forgot to start doing it until February where I try to actually listen to something I haven't heard before every day I have a chance -- new release by an artist I like, someone I've been meaning to explore further, something I know nothing about but just saw mentioned that day, something regarded as classic but I've never been interested in so I might as well give it a shot. Succeed about every other day, try to jot down a short note about each one. Think I hit my favorite one of the year so far, following up on a song I liked in my most recent Discover Weekly: John Hartford. Started with Looks at Life, soon as that was done I went to Aereo-Plain and both were fantastic. I like a lot of stuff in that ballpark of the ~1970s country/folk/rock/psych nexus but rarely does anyone hit right on the mark in the sense of humor or melody like this did (Jim Sullivan is the other one that comes to mind). I have a hard time believing anyone who reads this thread couldn't find something to like if you're not already familiar so if your ears are free for 30-40 minutes stick one of those in there. Also, it's just cool that he wrote exactly one hit that was enough to live off of and make whatever he wanted for the rest of his life, which it seems like you can't really do anymore. Off-thread topic but my least favorite of this experiment so far, one of the ones I was listening to for no reason other than it's famous and I'd never actually heard it: The Smiths, The Queen is Dead. Based on reputation I was totally prepared to begrudgingly concede that while he sucks, on occasion the guy can write a tune, but I had no use for any of that poo poo. Absolutely gently caress that guy.

I saw Son Volt last night. They were surprisingly great. Very tight, pretty loud, and actually rocked pretty hard. I sometimes forget their 90s hard alt rock sound. Jay interacted with the audience a little bit, even. They did a bunch of stuff from Trace and other early albums. I found myself wondering if Jay is somewhat neuro atypical. He changed guitars every other or 3rd song, and the guitar tech was in the process of tuning at least one through the entire show. He's got a pair of nearly identical, beautiful Gretsch semi hollow bodies, they were just gorgeous. Very tight turnaround between every song and the encore break was maybe 30 seconds. In the professional musician context, I wonder what he's like as a coworker and travel companion. Seems extremely fussy. They really sounded good though, catch them if you can.

I haven't seen Son Volt or Jay Farrar live in many years but I have seen them like maybe a dozen or so times and yeah, I suspect that he's somewhere on some spectrum or other (in my professional opinion as an internet forums poster). In late 2001 I saw Son Volt in a tiny bar and I hung out with Brian Henneman of the Bottle Rockets during the show (he opened but I got there late and missed it and didn't realize that he was who he was until the end of the night). After the show was over and the crowd was dispersing and band people are loading out the subject of Jay's personality came up. Brian said, "Yeah, Jay's a great guy and a good friend and a great songwriter, but he's loving weird." He then gestured outside the big window we were standing near and there was Jay just wandering around in the middle of the street aimlessly as if he was stuck in a loop of changing his mind about where he was going, just walking all over the place and staring at the sky and just generally looking weird as hell.

Yeah that tracks. I've always thought he was just kind of a boring frontman who didn't care about the audience that much. But after paying attention to just how particular and fussy he was being I changed my thinking. I don't know if this was related, but at one point the tech switched out the drummer's snare drum in the middle of a song. I couldn't tell any difference at all, not that that means anything. Well anyhow, I'm really glad I went. They sounded just perfect.

Did the snare get changed out again? If not then he may have broken the drumhead of some other equipment failure. The drums are likely triggered anyway so they'll sound the same, but makes it hard to play. For guitars, the constant switches are probably for different tuning of the songs.

I don't think the guitars were being changed for different tunings, because a lot of the songs were in the same key. I've only ever played a handful of their songs but I don't think any were in anything but standard tuning, and from what I could see he was playing traditional chord shapes the whole time. It really seemed like he was just being super scrupulous about being perfectly in tune without having to do it himself. Levels, tone, everything would sound exactly the same. He capoed a couple times when the other guitarist played a baritone or 12 string. He did switch out with an acoustic/electric Tele a couple times, but the constant rotation of the pair of Gretschs stood out. As for the drum, I didn't see if it got swapped again.
