With the summer, most of our free weekends will be spent at Smith Mountain Lake. <BR/><BR/>What are you up to these days?Sean Tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703508034749435266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18024118.post-79981278005107893202007-05-22T07:55:00.000-04:002007-05-22T07:55:00.000-04:00Hey, congrats on the new position at CT.

I knew you'd end up there eventually, and would likely have a gig that was part Dennis Miller, part indie radio journalist.<BR/><BR/>Good work on this whole podcasting effort. That embeddable player is sweet, inobtrusive, minimalist. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip on DJr. I've heard mixed things on TMBG The Else - but haven't heard anything myself.<BR/><BR/>If you're ever down in Chapel Hill, I'll buy you an IPA.<BR/><BR/>-Dave FalwellDavidVTHokiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748790410761856389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18024118.post-49636068419686586132007-05-03T17:40:00.000-04:002007-05-03T17:40:00.000-04:00I didn't know who Dinosaur Jr. was until my friend...I didn't know who Dinosaur Jr. was until my friend Jeff made me a mix tape in 1991 that had some songs off of Green Mind on it. That was actually J. Mascis' first album post Lou, and it was a very good album, I would say the most even out of any of the albums. I didn't hear and then love the albums with Lou Barlow until much later, after I had gone through my Sebadoh phase. Sebadoh and I got along well because the general lo-fi weirdness of the first album (The Freed Man, to be re-released this year) continues to amaze and astound me. Having said that, it's not for everyone. <BR/><BR/>I bought Beyond, mostly as a sign of support, and it's the first album I've purchased in a long time. I have a Rhapsody subscription, so I can listen to most new releases. But, this is one I felt like celebrating with. Also, it's yet another example of how I'm celebrating my new job. <BR/><BR/>Now, if I could just make it to see a live show sometime, anywhere. I can't make myself pay to for live music anymore, mostly because it starts too late and I have early work to do.Sean Tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703508034749435266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18024118.post-36589681707859505452007-05-03T01:11:00.000-04:002007-05-03T01:11:00.000-04:00I heard a lot of good things about Dinosaur Jr. wh...I heard a lot of good things about Dinosaur Jr. when I was in my twenties but never bought an album of theirs for some reason. The Replacements were my desert island band back then, and probably still are. Let it Be and Pleased to Meet Me were the albums that I liked the most, but I also had their earlier punkier stuff and their later folkier stuff, post Bob Stinson.<BR/><BR/>I also don't listen to music much these days. Don't play much, either, which is something I am struggling with. There are all kinds of valid reasons why it just doesn't fit into my life but man, I miss it sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
