Have always been aware of Trans but never really went out of my way to listen. From what I hear here on FMU, its pretty great
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:03am Handy Haversack:

Yeti Bob! We had a really, really wonderful few days. First time in memory we felt like we could relax and that the forces of fate and world weren't all arrayed against us. Really good time, even though it was all spent stuck indoors while 8" of rain came down. Also, we brought the jam with us, and it was a total hit! That jar disappeared in a hurry!
Avatar ♥ 9:03am winston legthigh:

the record company hated trans.

I just jumped up and yelled “YES!” w/ the opening riff :D plus Neil??? I need to bone up on my trans! Didn’t recognize one of my favorite artists! Thank you professor Ken!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:08am BillyLundun:

Didn't the title of that song come from a mugging experience?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:08am Handy Haversack:

Rache, we listened to Monster for the first time in a while on the drive to MI and back recently. There are a lot of great songs on it! I feel sometimes like it doesn't quite cohere as an album, but I like so many of the songs.

I have the same feelings on the Jets, Jim.

YB: we're heading to Maine in just over a week! Time is collapsing.

Call 201-209-9368 and give Jim a piece of your mind.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:10am G:

@BillyL: Yes, Dan Rather the tv news guy, maybe the late 80s. Bizarre case of mistaken identity, if I recall correctly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:11am Rich in Washington:

@BillyLundun: Dan Rather was assaulted by a pair of men, who kept repeating "What's the frequency, Kenneth?". Pretty bizarre.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:11am Jim the Poet:

Oh hey guys
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:11am BillyLundun:

Yes! thanks G and Rich! Dan Rather what a weird thing.
  9:11am Rachel Bo Bachel:

Handy do you ever listen to New Adventures in Hi Fi? It’s one of my favorite REM albums. In all seriousness, Monster isn’t that great lol. But it’s a fun throwback!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:12am StringOFperils:

Hey, Jim! Goodbye, Charlie!

Summer of 1989!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:13am sphere:

hello Jim and fellow Rhetoriticians
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:13am Handy Haversack:

Rachel, 100 percent. I LOVE that album. It, LRP, and Reckoning are probably the ones we listen to the most. But I really love New Adventures and feel it's kind of an unsung gem.

Rich: they may have been shouting "Where's the freakin' C, Kenneth"?
  9:14am JT:

the litt alternate takes on the monster 25th anniversary release are terrific
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:15am sonofsammydavis:

i saw someone trying to argue, in all serious-Ness, that Steel Wheels was the '2nd best studio album' the Stones ever made. He said that several big critics agreed with him... like it was a commonly held opinion. I think Robert Cristgau was one of the names he dropped. sort of blew my mind that anyone could think that. what in the hell is the reason?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:15am sonofsammydavis:

(bad taste?)
Avatar ♥ 9:16am TDK60:

Handy, I'm a "Murmur" guy and love "Fables of the Reconstruction" too. I even like "Up." I recall that summer of '83, my friends and I were all floored by "Murmur" (a musical curve ball at the time).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:16am Ryansterlingvirtue:

love this band and this album.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack:

Arrrrgh, don't tempt me like that, JT!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:16am sphere:

I wouldn't trust Christgau's opinion.
Avatar 9:16am dk50b:

Sorry Jim, one of the seven dirty words floated over the airwaves. Last line is "I never understood, don't fuck with me, u-huh". Was just telling my daughter my daughter how much I miss Sportsy Talk. And here's the opening track to Game Theory's idiosyncratic masterwork 1987's Lolita Nation, actually recreating the incident with creepy footsteps, 7 years before R.E.M. youtu.be...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:17am sphere:

"Everything Hurts" is a great song but you have to ignore the sappy strings at the end.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:17am sonofsammydavis:

@sphere.... yeah, not me either, necessarily. but i don't consider the man INSANE.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:18am Handy Haversack:

Murmur and Fables are totally fantastic. A review of C&K's new EP compared it to Fables! I was stunned!
Avatar ♥ 9:18am TDK60:

Christgau? I usually ignore that grump. I usually dig things he doesn't.
  9:18am JT:

do it handy!

I always accidentally play that curse at the end!
  9:22am Will:

Christgau gave Van der Graaf Generator a D+. Time to hand in the resignation, Dean.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:22am Ken From Hyde Park:

Fond memories of jumping around to local band Perfect Thyroid at the Rhinecliff Hotel and when they went on a break, there was a TV in the other room. MTV was playing the "Nightswimming" video and it was such a cool and lasting memory.
  9:23am mike s.:

I.m somewhat familiar with Christgau's reviews and if I recall he gave Steel Wheels a B minus. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Avatar ♥ 9:24am Roberto:

How can you not trust the man who once labeled Irwin Chusid "a tedious ideologue with a hustle?"

Requesting “No Time” by The Guess Who

Please and thank you so much!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:25am DonJuanTijuana:

Always love hearing some Real Kids...such an amazing band
Avatar ♥ 9:27am winston legthigh:

the last stones album i bought was undercover in '83. guess i just kinda lost interest.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:28am StringOFperils:

B minus sounds about right. Bob Cristgau's a thrower of brick-bats. Likes to elicit some kind of response from readers, to see if they even have a pulse. He may have been the Dean, or may still be, but he's always known the whole thing is a hamburger university. I suspect all he ever hoped for was for the reader to stop reading, and to really listen and to genuinely care.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:29am Ken in Fort Worth:

I dare you to play some JFA
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:29am PaulRobeson1920:

If not, no worries…. Hey! Nice Neil Young song! 1st time ever I’m hearing it! here or anywhere

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:32am Hugo (NL):

Hi. @jim, what is your favourite Toxic-version?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:33am MasterofPuberty:

I looked up the definition of erudite, and the sample sentence was "Ken could turn any conversation into an erudite discussion."

JFA, too damn funny. I saw them as an underage kid in the 80's. They played Philly @ Kung Fu Necktie in 2019 I think. Old punks, mosh pit & everything. Best damn punk show I'd seen in year. Some guy got a compound leg fracture by the pool table, and they didn't stop playing or miss a beat. Hell I didn't even realize it until I saw the bartender mopping up a giant pool of blood on my way out.

Okay! Well throwing in a request for something from the Teen Mortgage Life/Death release. Saw them in DC last weekend and was impressed, so dying to share it. https://teenmortgage.bandcamp.com/album/life-death. I'd ask for "Falling Down" if them saying "fuckboy" isn't a problem. Otherwise, S.W.A.S. is also a great track (and I think fcc clean).

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack:

McGroovey, that has been the case since the "transmitter" troubles a few weeks ago. The stream on the computer and the radio on the bathroom boombox are more out of sync than ever, with the stream more solidly ahead of the radio than the radio *used to* be ahead of the stream.

Use to be that the stream was several seconds behind the radio. More the radio is behind the stream, but only by love 2 seconds, which is actually usually cool and listenable.

I can't hear the radio in the bathroom, so I take my phone on with me during my morning rituals, then carry it around while I'm looking for the things I've left in the wrong places that need to go on my body and into my pockets.
