Jay Farrar

I've fallen so hard for this album now that trying to choose a favorite is like trying to measure a dock by lining up a bunch of eels ... it just ain't happening

it's a secret message to all the other freemasons

excellent review, although saratogajay's in the disappointed thread was better

indeed they are, still a great rock and roll band

cool, I did, though I'm not proud. You know the figgs?

good stuff there

so are you a townie or a skiddie?

I think that's the general consensus ... I posted this in another post, but maybe should have put it here: I'm gonna make a mix cd of The Slaughter Rule and Terrior Blues stuff on one cd, I bet the instrumentals will work much better to link the songs than either Space Junk or Spack Junk does

and I agree about Jay needing to rock again, or, more specifically, us fans needing Jay to rock again

and less bombast

no go on the canyon, good stuff?

indeed brother fraggle, I like version 1 too, but kept wanting it to kick in with a nice drum shuffle, not a tin can whack ... then got to version 2 and rejoiced.

so I think my first reaction - which was "zzzzzzzzzzzz" - was simply a sign of my still missing Sonv Volt and bar chords and tunes written on an electric guitar ... this new rekid contains a few of his best songs, certainly better than most of sebastipolly, which had a real short shelf life for me ....
