I feel very odd about the “dude looks like The Predator” jokes I used to make about this guy
a think he looks like a predator if not The Predator

This week, Dave Matthews addressed Boyd’s departure from the band for the first time in an interview with Vulture. “I have a deep love for Boyd, and he has to deal with his stuff. In many ways, I’m sure it would’ve been a lot easier for him to just say, ‘I’m good. Let’s go play.’ But you can’t just throw yourself away, your wellness away, because you play violin in a band. It doesn’t make any sense to do that.“I can’t say, ‘I can’t wait till he comes back,’ because I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Matthews added. “But right now being away is better for him. Nobody is happy about this situation. Except that we’re happy he can figure some stuff out. I hope he does. But I’m going to miss having that whirling-dervish Adonis-Muppet over there on my right. I know the audience is, too. But we can’t serve that desire.”

Not just for Dave Matthews Band fans, Ryley Walker's The Lillywhite Sessions is a reminder that taste is subjective, timing is everything, and you don't always choose the ones you love.

yeah it's pretty good! but also the lillywhite sessions is prob the best dmb album (so, of course, it was shelved so that dave could record a terrible record in a week with glen ballard)

this didn't even make busted stuff, which was full of re-recordings of the lillywhite sessions material, and it's better than most dmb songs imo
also the original version of "bartender" is the *best* dmb song possible i think

don't get me wrong this band still sucks
interesting. i'm not a fan of lillywhite sessions/busted stuff. you can tell that some of the songs were written with the same guitar patterns he'd used for sketching out songs since forever. for example, grey street is very similar to tripping billies where david matthews has written a repeating melody for everyone to mimic by moving two fingers up and down the guitar neck. the band maybe felt the initial guitar ideas they had to work from in the lillywhite session were stale. they may have also toured that material too heavily and burned out on it before recording? so they switched to the baritone guitar for Everyday and shook things up. This was the band-sanctioned narrative at the time, but I agree with it now. Everyday is way better than the other stuff they were up to.
― for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 15 November 2018 18:07 (five years ago) link
... everyday is a really terrible record idgi
the band narrative was that this material was too depressing and they weren't having fun recording it. they should have less fun
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 15 November 2018 18:14 (five years ago) link
i tried everyday again but it is actually impossible to get through "i did it"
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 15 November 2018 18:29 (five years ago) link
Everyday sounds a bit like the other side of the band's collaboration on Santana-Supernatural. So it's kind of bad and annoying and awesome in the same way that Santana-Supernatural is those things.

I remember reading an interview with him once where he was talking about how much he loved oral sex and how he could survive by just drinking/eating? the fluids of women. ― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, February 11, 2003 11:59 AM (fifteen years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

By Peter P.M. Buttigieg,November 10, 2003This week, I picked up a new album by Dave Matthews, prophet of the carefree joy of my high school years. But unlike the cheerful strains of late-nineties-Dave, the solo project Some Devil is a sober, even grim reflection of how much the world has changed in a few short years. The man who brought us the playful riffs of “Too Much” and “Everyday” is now promoting the album’s first single, “Gravedigger.” Matthews is not the only one undergoing a tonal shift; if you’ve paid attention to Radiohead this year, you know that they have grown not only darker, but more explicitly political. In titling their new project, for example, they replaced the cryptic inclinations that brought us previous efforts like or Kid A, and called this one Hail to the Thief.Music is always regarded as an index of the times, so a glance at what’s changed in our short student lifetimes could tell us a thing or two. And indeed, there are some lessons in even a casual overview of what has happened to campus music trends just in the last few years....

Then all hell broke loose. Just as we were adjusting to the fact that our country could function even if the president didn’t completely know what he was doing, a team of Saudis with box cutters torpedoed our innocence. Right then, like our cell phones, our culture stopped working for a minute. What sense could the old Dave Matthews make when Dave Letterman was weeping on air?
