Anyway, the new album is only Sea Change if Atlanta Rhythm Section and Blackfoot are not distinguishable from Nick Drake. Which they are.

And again: His ballads >>>>>>>> Black Crowes's ballads. No contest.

I was at a bar last night and they were simply BLASTING Devil Without A Cause.

And I have to say it was better than hearing another round of Sirius-satellite-radio-approved college rock jukebox picks from late-20-something Juno-watching blog-reading New York shit-for-brains playing "The Killing Moon" and "My Name Is Jonas" and "Debaser" for the seven gablillionth time.

the recent single where he bellows "amen" w/chorus is god-awful

Devil Without A Cause is fully defensible.

haha - i remember an interview with angus circa 2 live crew trial where he decryed their music as 'crass' and the interviewer was all 'um, what about 'giving the dog a bone'?' and angus went all 'it's a metaphor innit' and how his mom thought it was actually about giving the dog a bone.

this is still an amazing WTF moment, FWIW.

i couldn't care less about kid rock.

iTunes shaken to the core!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7459796.stm

US music star Kid Rock is refusing to put his albums on iTunes because he says artists do not get paid enough for downloads from the Apple store.

Kid Rock is one of the last few acts not fully signed up to the service.

He said it was based on "an old system, where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don't give it to the artists".

More like Kid Cock, amirite?

zing!

i guess i couldn't be on EVERY 2 Live Crew thread back then...

he's right about itunes...it's the worst of both worlds for artists.

Wal-Mart to the rescue.

YES
The thing is even Kid Rock doesn't believe in Kid Rock anymore.
