Acoustic, why do you consider someone crazy if they don't like something their favorite band puts out? The first three are for the most part flawless. Sebastopol,Thirdshiftgrottoslack,Stone, Steel and Bright Lights and Terroir Blues still get plenty of playing time in my stereo. I put the Six String Belief DVD on the TV when I'm doing my house cleaning chores and crank it up so I can hear it in every room upstairs. But OATMOR just doesn't do it for me. Atmosphere and Bandages and Scars are great songs but that's about it. I only listen to a few songs on The Search now. That doesn't make me "crazy". Just honest.

We all be silly.
Which of the kids do you love more? Each is a bit different.
But you love 'em just the same.

I am CRAZEEE!!!!!!!

Medication and Atmosphere can stand up against anything else he's done. After that the dropoff is pretty steep. Oh wait, I like Bandages & Scars, too.

Anodyne tops.

But that's just me and my contrariness.

Okemah is number #2 on my SV list behind Trace. #4 on my list of anything Jay has ever done. Great record from start to finish.

The Sportscenter commercial with R. Simmons cracks me up every time.

Okemah and the Melody of Riot is a good album if for no other reason that it includes Afterglow 61.

Crazy indeed.
Lets see. Afterglow 61...yeah! crank it up.
See Bandages and Scars live in a smaller setting and try not to rock ...dig it...Jet Pilot's neat in a perverse way...if you voted for Bush...if you like the way Andrew beats the bass...add Endless War , no moral face to the endless war...gotta dig it if your frustraterd with the ongoing war ...in 2004,2005 ! Atmosphere..cool chord progression. Ipecac,Who...eh...rock the Six String Belief, no question!...Medications different..open C tuning ...I really dig the Chaos Stream alot...Gramophone...try bringing out the G harp and acoustic...schweet! I could do without World Waits for You, written for his kids or Obama...but I have a piano and I play it happily once or twice a week...it sounds nice...the vocals/lyrics threaten our tough guy attitude, like Ipecac, I think

Bottom line is we're spoiled by his catalog, but its a badass album, yeah boy...

Dear M. Truslow,
As you see, there's a peculiar ripple in the fabric among those who frequent this board most often. And that is, they don't like Okemah. They are, of course, crazy.

Would Simmons like to be exposed to a little Farrar?

farrarfan1 · Post by **farrarfan1** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 8:56 am

Ask Jon. He's the ultimate Simmons authority.

I wonder if Simmons is a Jay fan or would be if exposed to a little Farrar?

still be, agreed, 'atmosphere' was also one of the top songs. in fact, oatmor would have worked better imo as an ep vs. a full album with b&s, atmosphere, medication, chaos streams and gramaphone. in fact, i created my own ep with those five songs. sometimes, less is indeed more.
