Okay, I was also drinking like the son of Satan too...but that's beside the point. Probably the best live Punk I've heard in a long time....This Bike is a Pipe Bomb. I'm serious. They're on tour right now, check them out. They're on their way to TX (Dallas Austin ???), then over to Phoenix, then up through California and Canada, and back down here. This Bike is a Pipe Bomb is from here, actually. My friend was like, "This is my favorite band, you have to see them." I was like "whatever, dude." But holy *$&$kn $$#%##@ %#^&%$%$ *#%&#!!!! They rock tits! This isn't just your average highschool/college thrash-punk. This is tight stuff with old school punk lyrics (well thought out, meaningful, not just bang-your-head stuff). If you like old school punk...and who doesn't?...this band is great. I think it sort of sounds old school because a heavy influence was Johnny Cash. As a matter of fact, they were going to be a country band, but after much bickering they changed their minds. And there was much bickering, and they ate Sir Robin's minstrels. Yay. And they're the only band that uses a Fidola. Well, the concert I went to didn't feature the Fidola because the guy named Spot wasn't with them, but I'm sure that when they're in Austin, Spot will be there playing his Fidola with them on stage. What's a Fidola? I heard that it's a viola, but Spot calls it a Fidola. I'm not even going to ask. So, remember. If you're perusing the club scene concerts sometime soon and you see "This Bike is a Pipe Bomb"....GO TO THIS CONCERT FOR SOME GREAT PUNK!!! When they were here, they opened up for Causey Way, but I'm not sure if they're touring with them or not. Causey Way...another good punk band, a lot more professional, great MOOG keyboard, even better MOOG keyboard Player, but for some reason not as cuttingly good as This Bike is a Pipe Bomb. I don't know what it was, but halfway into TBIAPB's second song I was like "hey, this is really really good." And I proceeded to enjoy myself for the rest of the show (and 7 more Bass or Guinness..depending on my drunken mood). I don't know. Maybe I like them because they sometimes sound similar to The Pogues. I'm not sure. Anyway.. I think Patty Griffin should MOST DEFINITELY tour with This Bike is a Pipe Bomb. I would quit my job to follow them. Rack up the credit card debts, be a fugitive, steal money from babies, whatever. If any of the band is listening, you gotta hear these guys. And if you happen to be driving around and see this old, beat up Yellow cab filled with three little people scrunched up and a bunch of band equipment....honk your horn cuz that's them. I'm so proud that finally something good (music-wise) has come out of Pensacola. Punk, Love, and Vegetable Rights, Paul ************************************ * And God?

Subject: MM: Sad sights, UK-side, and trying to pose a question without getting flamed. Sad sight of the year: Patty's "Flaming Red" in a bargain basement on Brewer Street, London, for #5. Mind you, David Gray's "White Ladder" was right next to it, along with many other fine and underrated albums, which is why I was in there in the first place. Good to hear that Patty's been played on UK radio, although if it was Ross, it may have been more by mistake than design. Which brings me to another question -- if I hate country (always have) why do I love Patty? I never thought of her as "country" when I heard her, just a raw, edgy folk, with a palpable pain throbbing just beneath the surface which instantly appealed to me. But, hey, 31 flavours, horses of different colours, etc. For the same reason that our friends don't necessarily have to get along with each other, to like one thing does not automatically mean that you will like another. It's an old story, countlessly proved, but it always fascinates me. I will, however, be giving serious consideration to Sarah Harmer, who has also been recommended on the ecto list. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2001 19:59:32 EST From: FlamingRed74@cs.com Subject: Re: MM: Recommendation Matt said: >>Other Recommendations......

I was going to post & see if anyone here had ever heard of her.. but Matt beat me to it.. good job! I also have Shelby Lynne's CD, and I'm not too big on that one yet. It has potential to "grow on me" though I think.. other recommendations would be.. The Badlees-- My ALL TIME favorite band Nancy Micciulla-- (as always) Beautiful, Beautiful voice! Darcie Miner-- (ditto) Beth Hart-- probably the most passionate singer I've ever heard live.. right up there with "the almighty Patty G" Shannon Curfman-- WOW can she play a bad ass blues guitar & sing!

Regarding the Country music question: Now, I don't profess to know a lot about music or even about Patty Griffin. Basically, I'm a dickhead that will probably need a new liver if I keep drinking like I did Thursday night (whoo hoo). So, with that out of the way... From what I've gathered for the odd some years I've been listening to Patty Griffin is that you are absolutely right. She's not country. Actually, I don't believe her to be folk either. She's more alternative than anything, really. But alot of Alternative artists do hinge on the folk fence enough to where it gets a bit blurry. The Dixie Chicks wanted her to tour with them because they really like her. The country music columnists across the U.S. seemed to, at best, give Patty Griffin the golf clap when rating her Dix Chix openers (and at worst said that she was awful). Emmylou has sort of gotten out of country recently, but that doesn't matter because she also chooses Ms. Griffin because she really likes her. I'm still waiting for the Patty Griffin/Nancy Griffith concert, because so many of my friends think I'm talking about Nancy Griffith when I mention loving Patty Griffin. They're like "oh yeah. That name sounds familiar. I think I've heard of her." I'm like, "uh, no you haven't." Jackson Browne digs her, and he's not even country. Ms. Griffin's first album was a demo to the record company. I guess she was expecting to have a backup band when it was released, but after recording a few songs they decided to just release the demo instead. Her second album contained a lot more of what she intended for the first album. And I'm hoping her third album will have a lot more "Silver Bell" sounding songs, but she'll probably mix it up one time like number 2. From what I've been getting out of everyone's previous posts over the years, is that Patty Griffin loves to solo it with just her and her guitar because she's so damn good at it. But then also loves to get in the ditches and produce full-blown music CDs with no stops. She likes it a little crazy. It's nice to have a choice like that. dream sequence of Patty Griffin before going out to a concert.... "hmmmmm. Acoustic guitar tonight? Or earplugs. guitar...earplugs. guitar....earplugs. Hmmmmm. Eeenie meenie miney mo." I think she's got a little country in her, but for the reasons above (as well as other reasons more sane than mine) I definitely wouldn't call her a country artist. If she is, she's got a long way to go. But now back to work. Yes, work on a Sunday sucks ass (especially after 7:00pm). But I like to think of it as working to afford Single Malts....at least today. Tomorrow it will be working to afford yet another bar tab. beefcake. Beefcake. BEEFCAKE!!! Paul ************************************ * And God? Please find me someone * * to make out with.

You guys NEED to check out Meghan Toohey (from Boston). She just released 2 cds independently: "Romantic Blunder #4" (a studio rock n' roll album) and "Eight So Low" which is a living room show that someone recorded. They are both SO good that I wouldn't be able to recommend one more than the other. They're both different. She's so so so good, esp. live... Jess Klein plays clarinet on one track of the cd:) And does some bg vocals... There are so many good singer/songwriters coming out of Boston, and Meg is one of the best I've heard. She is one of the artists that my promo/booking agency works w/ and after they raved about her so much, I had to check her out--I was not disappointed. I'd recommend her very highly.
