What's that, chihuahua pug??? No way, when I was a kid we had a part pug/part chihuahua and she was the cutest best dog. Her name was Susanna.

Eagles in the wild report: I'm just leaving an all-nite diner, one of those places with a jukebox that nobody plays, so the machine cycles through stuff on random play mode all the time. The final two selections for my visit were "The Heat Is On" and "New Kid In Town". Hearing them back to back like this kind of reinforces how odd that the same guy was responsible for both.

playing catch-up:
1) i still like the singles okay (in a noncommittal, out-there-in-radioland sort of way), but everything else pretty much sucks.
2) retrospective sleaze awareness aside, "take it easy" isn't particularly sleazy, not in light "girl, you'll be a woman soon" and "you've never been this far before".
3) i like clips are a hell of a lot better than the studio stuff. should have been a jam band.

along with "chug", this one's working awful damn hard to convince me that i hate the fucking eagles
― IIIrd Datekeeper (contenderizer), Friday, 30 August 2013 12:57 (eleven years ago) link
i didn't totally hate this onethe sun is your clownhis singing is overzealous and far to the front for my liking but i like the slow tempo and the jam is ok (unfortunately there's only like 30 sec of it)
also -- i heard "life in the fast lane" in the car yesterday and it sounded just as atrocious as it always has. just AWFUL and loathsome. i also heard "hotel california" the other day (also on the car radio) and it sounded like the dr teeth & the electric mayhem, like it always has. (i figure this thread could be used for noting when eagles songs are heard in the wild)

This is okay. I think my feelings so far is that this band is so stiff and uptight that any hint of them cutting loose seems much wilder than it is. So the meandering verses here, or the growling intros elsewhere, sound like a band you'd keep an eye on; whereas in reality they rock out like a barbershop quartet.

First thought (on "Mood") was, "This would sound a lot better if Ronnie Van Zant was singing instead of Glenn Frey."
Then I realized that applies to everything Glenn Frey ever sang.

I thought I recalled owning the 45 of "Take It Easy" when I was a kid, but I definitely have never heard "Mood" before in my life. M@tt OTM, this is horrible.

like i said in the other thread, in that hotel california book the ONLY people who come out smelling like a rose are linda ronstadt and jackson browne. i can't recall anyone interviewed for the book who had anything negative to say about those two. which is not the case with everyone else in the book.

In the other laurel canyon book graham Nash seemed pretty chill and decent too.
― Spot Lange (Jon Lewis), Friday, 30 August 2013 14:22 (eleven years ago) link
I'm gonna dissent here; I actually like this song, especially the guitar solo outro. It's available individually on Amazon MP3, too; I think I might tack it onto the debut album in my iPod.
― 誤訳侮辱, Friday, 30 August 2013 14:47 (eleven years ago) link
idk why but I always get the feeling that Graham Nash is a secret dick. He seems chill and decent p much all the time, but in a way that makes me suspicious that he's just doing that bcz Stills and Crosby couldn't hide it
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 30 August 2013 15:08 (eleven years ago) link
unsupportable theory, just the weird way my brain works
He is a secret dick. Every quote I've read suggests he's intensely conscious about PR and projecting affability. Besides, Neil Young must have had a reason to always find excuses to stop hanging out with him.

i don't know if i've heard this before or if it's reminding of something else with a similar chord progression.

Is Neil a good guy? I mean I'd love to hang out with him, but I'm not sure I'd be expecting a mellowed-out good time as such.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 August 2013 15:18 (eleven years ago) link
I have friends who've worked for Nash creating album art and they say good things about him fwiw

love neil but i'd bet he's pretty prone to dickishness.

Neil's dickishness is more charming than Nash's mushy hippie passive aggressive kindness
― first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 30 August 2013 15:21 (eleven years ago) link
I mean, I'd kick both out of bed and so would you.
maybe for celeb watching but irl I'd rather chat with Nash than try to figure out Neil's moods

i would love to hang out with graham nash! he probably knows where all the good restaurants are.

Neil seems like a bit of an ornery dude, like I dunno that he doesn't hide how he feels as much --seems like he could be hard to work with if he didn't like you but otherwise, I mean it's Uncle Neil!

neil though...would be like hanging out with dylan. does he like me? does he think i'm stupid? wait, when he asked me how i liked the lobster was he being sarcastic? oh god he hates me! oh no maybe if i tell him again how awesome he is...
too much pressure.

he was mean to America. America! like, i get that they were phony bubblegum ripoffs, but you're friendly with the fucking EAGLES.

actually i guess that applies even more to Randy Newman (who is surely a dick)
but those America guys might be total dicks, too. who knows.

my pal george on marthas vineyard opened for neil and dylan when he was drumming for dinosaur and i was really hoping he would have juicy stories but he said they never saw those dudes they would just appear on stage when it was time to play. they didn't hang with anyone. probably depends on their mood. they are probably so sick of people.

someone told me a story about a renowned dick. a local guy here was in new orleans having dinner with people and one of the people was in los lobos and at the table next to theirs was paul simon and everyone at the los lobos table was talking about richard thompson and paul simon leaned in and asked them who they were talking about and they told him richard thompson and paul simon had no idea who that was. i thought that was weird. someone told me that yesterday. also thought it was weird that they were dining with a guy from los lobos given the whole simon/los lobos debacle.
