you're James Jamerson?
sweet. but you're whiter than I expected.
Okay, Motown that's better than the Beatles. I liked all of that stuff from the sixties to into the eighties.
Did you play with Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Isley Brothers, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Stevie Wonder or Rick James? Wow I just saw Rick James on the list and that makes Slimedog make some sense.
You used to play with Husker Du and The Replacements? That is fucking awesome.My band used to play shows with the Replacements. We all came up during the same era up there in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Husker Du would play three hour shows in the lofts in "Lowertown" St. Paul...ah, yes, those were good days to be young and alive.
I guess it's always a good day to be alive. Never mind.
Have you read Geoff Emerick's Here There and Everywhere? Someone gave it to me recently and I wasn't expecting much but I was very impressed. I felt he didn't pull any punches. I thought it was a very insightful, down to earth read.The sound is the same, but that's thanks to the engineer Geoff Emerick I suppose. Revolver is the record that really brought out the bass for the first time. For me.
But that isn't McCartney playing. I don't know if he could have played that part. He was not what I'd call an economical bass player. ;)
It is, indeed, sometimes...quite awesome to be alive.Jesus, it's awesome to be alive
I remember being in college loving (or trying to) Husker Du
But can't remember a song by them now,
In prehistoric times, yes.You used to play with Husker Du and The Replacements?
Yep. It's one of the best Beatle books out there.Have you read Geoff Emerick's Here There and Everywhere?
I read a couple of his books, and that shit was cute for 30 or 40 pages, then it wore thin pretty quickly. I can't even put my finger on it, I just had a bad feeling after reading them. Like a sick feeling I'd just done something stupid. Pissed on a bum or something. Wasted my time.Tao Lin
isn't ballad of a sad cafe a sad sad book?
I read that book because of its title alone, well more because of my interest in American Apparel. I found it entertaining, and wanted to check out other stuff from Lin.Recently:
Shoplifting From American Apparel - Tao Lin
He wasn't. But he had much better lawyers than the accusers could afford. So how could he be found guilty? O.J. Simpson wasn't found guilty in Los Angeles either. Rich people don't go to jail here. Or in most places....I don't know if he was ever found guilty of any of the chargers...
i haven't read a clock without hands or the mortgaged heart yet; they're sitting on my shelf while i psych myself up for the heartbreak.
