@MagicRuss You and I have a ton in common musically. What’s funny is, I just came back from taking my wife and daughter out for pizza and my wife puts on an oldies station and OMD comes on. I told my daughter, of the totally 80s synth bands, I really loved “OMD, Talk Talk, and Depeche Mode back then — bands that used drum machines!” But I was…Read More

In the past, these coupons have not always applied to major manufacturers.Thanks for the info. I just tried it on Presonus, Novation, and Universal Audio, and it didn’t work on any of them. Sorry guys, I post the deals, I don’t have time to check all of them out. Thanks again, @MagicRuss. I don’t…Read More

I love Wilco. I even did a cover of “Radio Cure” and considered “On and On.” But your mentioning one of the band members name caused me to realize that I’ve never really thought of the guitar on a critical level in the band, and that’s super rare for me. I have to go back and listen more critically. Any songs that you think stand out as really…Read More

Thanks, I will be doing that. I’m driving my son back to college tomorrow or Weds. and will listen to my Wilco playlist on the ride back.
On a Wilco related note, I got turned on to the music of @reidjamiesonmusic because some of the Wilco guys are fans and got one of his songs played on a Chicago radio station back in the 00s (WXRT, if you are…Read More

I am from Chicago originally so I am familiar with “Chicago’s Finest Rock”, although I was more of a Loop fan in high school during the 80s. I was aware of a lot of the alt-country artists, liked a few tracks here and there, but didn’t follow any of them. One day I heard “Box Full of Letters” on the air and had to pick it up. Of course at that…Read More

The Loop and Johnny B! I listened to The Loop too (unfortunately, they’re long gone and WXRT is more about playing oldies and classic rock, not what made them great). But back in the 80s and 90s XRT was great and exposed me to a lot of off-the-beaten-path rock bands as well as jazz, fusion, and blues on the weekends when they had shows that would…Read More

When I was installing the Amon Tobin pack, I found Arturia LoFi Cartridge Vol 3 as a new free item in Analog Lab. Not sure how long it has been there but it has some decent sounds for that sort of thing.I just went there and I didn’t have it either — and I’m pretty good about checking for free patches, so it w…Read More

@magicruss Even though you hate the song, listen to Flea”s bass playing on “You Oughta Know.” It’s killer.

@MagicRuss I watched both videos! I didn’t recall the name of the song, but I absolutely remember the song “Apache.” Cool trivia on McCartney’s “Coming Up” video. I recall that I think one of the people i guessed McCartney dressed up as was Buddy Holly and then he mimicked himself from his early Beatles year. Very cool. Now I need to watch that…Read More

Obviously “Impossible Germany”. I should point out that Pat Sansone does most of the lead work during the verses, which is overshadowed by Nels Cline’s Solo, most of which is improvised on any given night. I’d also recommend looking for a live version of “Bird Without a Tail/Base of My Skull” which features those two trading licks. Also look up…Read More
