I used to not care about the Beatles. I thought they had some catchy tunes, but were kinda lame. "What's the big deal?" I wondered. Then I actually listened to their records, as albums -- I'm talking about Revolver, Let it Be, Abbey Road, The White Album, and Sgt Peppers. I've been convert...

I hear you. The Myth of Sisyphus and other existentialist ideas can be interpreted to provide a sort of inspiration -- that is, we should celebrate our ability to live life to the fullest in spite of (and/or because of) the meaningless of existence and the fact that we will one day die. And I get it...

This is a cool article, but the author's comparison to Sisyphus is a little doomsdayish, without much hope. I'm guessing the author came up with that comparison after the interview -- I can't help but feel there's a twinge of negativity here -- seems kind of backhanded.

What's Your Favorite Guitar/Instrumental Section on IKE?

I keep coming back to the guitar lead after the first verse and chorus of Soft Machine. It is such a great lead -- so concise, textural, melodic, and narrative -- and nasty tone! It's perfect! Gets me every time. Anyone notice the general lack of guitar solos on this record (not that I'm really surp...

Help! Avalon

Can anyone possibly come up with one or two (hopefully two) tickets to the Avalon show for a friend in need? My wife and I had been waiting to hear from some friends about going -- they stalled -- BOOM -- now the show's sold out. Grrr. I know, another sob story, but really -- we're devastated and de...

Nope, it's a full band version -- with same production quality as the rest of the album. It sounds great, and I believe it does have the distortion on Brad's voice that was removed from the IKE-version of Suffocation Keep.

I love this song!

Get it!

The Phish version is pretty good, I admit. It's especially nice to have a guitar solo and jam-exploration at the end. However, the overall feel and soul just isn't there. And Paige's handling of the bridge/interlude ("I feel so humble with you tonight, Just sitting in front of the fire . . . &q...

That's kind of a random thought -- but . . . Are you Kidding? http://images.replacements.com/images/images5/china/R/royal_crown_derby_old_imari_loving_cup_P0000079973S0108T2.jpg The Stones' version is way better -- no one in Phish can sing with anywhere near as much soul, style, and gusto as Jagger!...

Unraveling the "Eisenhower" Mystery . . . ?

So what's with the "Eisenhower" title and the llama/alpaca-looking creature on the cover? Here's a clue: It's probably not a llama, but a vicuna (part of the Camelidae family) and here's the story behind it ---> "In 1958 vicuña was on everybody’s lips. President Eisenhower’s favorite ...
