[quote name='Graystone']Very nice, most restaurants don't cover their wings in flour. But I'm for it, cause without the flour you get those little tough spots of meat, and skin.[/quote] there's a reason why my neighbors volunteer to do manual labor in exchange for my hot wings.
[quote name='Scobie']You're dealing with a guy who literally altered the course of modern music forever and was on the forefront of the battles to reshape our culture. The threads that leads back to Dylan are remarkable in their breadth and diversity.
Back when I was in college and truly discovered him, I saved up every week to buy another one of his back catalog albums. Each week brought an amazing new revelation. It was like watching a flower bloom in time elapsed photography. I still remember the way the day felt when I played Highway 61 Revisited for the first time. My jaw was on the floor as I kept reaching over to hit play again and again each time the record ended.
It was one of the most significant times of my life, and as I've gotten older it's amazing how his songs have grown on me in new and unexpected ways. Dylan will change the way you look at the world, art, music, your own life, and the people around you.[/quote]
see! right there, the jameson brings out the sentimental bleary eyed mick in all of us.
but it's true - it's Bob or bust.
Spanish Harlem was like a premonition of Manhattan for me.

[quote name='Scobie']Colin Oberst has a long ways to go... from what I've heard so far, he's not even a patch on Dylan. Ben Gibbard is getting closer.[/quote]
BEN GIBBARD?
"i may have got an invitation but i wasn't invited."
seriously - in terms of Bob-worthy songwriters? Tom Waits, in his own way.
And then...................................................................................................................................... Robert Pollard.

:lol: take it easy some places might not have them. My selection of food sucks. I live in the midwest going to the grocery store here it seems like people only eat Sirloin, PB&J, cereal, and beefaroni (sp?)

I will give him another shot (probably tomorrow) though, and I'm going to see him live at ACL because he's headlining and since I'm almost guaranteed to be dragged to see him by a friend.

Gibbard is better than Oberst, or at least has been since Transatlanticism. I look forward to what he does next. The thing is, there are those who come and go... the Matt Johnsons (The The had some notable albums that tapped into that vein) and Jeff Buckleys of the world seem to get near to it.
But when you look back at the achievements of Dylan, how prolific and consistently brilliant he was, there really isn't anyone who comes close. Even Leonard Cohen, for as extraordinary as he is, only managed to chisel away 11 albums in almost 50 years. Dylan was knocking them out year after year up until the motor cycle accident.
Tom Waits has his own special place in the pantheon of greats. What a unique musical vision and voice.

that. Just go to Wal-Mart and explain to them that you are looking for chicken wings to make shit with. If you get shitty service and or can't find anybody, just start walking by the chicken and start reading signs and labels on the chicken products.

I didn't know there was a tracker to speak of, so I'd say no, I didn't. I just... clicked download, open with utorrent, and then click ok or whatever on the utorrent popup. Except for the Tool discography, where I unchecked all the 10,000 Days songs since I already have that album. That's the only one I fooled with.

That's a tough one. The one that locked me in was The Times They Are A-Changin'. It remains one of his most focused and melancholy albums. Absolutely gorgeous songwriting with an obvious political bent on the title track and a couple of others. It's the clearest of his early visions.
For middle-period Dylan, Blood On The Tracks is an obvious choice.
