If I remember correctly, the free jazz sax player Ellery Eskelin is prominently featured in the doc, too, as his dad wrote some of the great ones.
'Out Of Gas'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Mikey's bass is so SPARKLY!
It was shiny and sparkly and I just made mom watch with me because she's visiting.
She too thinks Toro is hot.
She doesn't think Mikeyway is knock-kneed. We're clearly about to have Picture Time.
Boys! So good to see them back.
SUCH good ToroCam tonight! It's like the world is catching on that the enorm blurry hands on stage left might just be worth watching...
After listening to Danger Days not even all the way through one time, I feel moved to pronounce it a sci fi post-apocalyptic rock opera with just a sweat-and-aquanet whiff of hair metal. God, I can't wait for the live shows.

After listening to it more than fifty times, I agree.
I like when Gee goes and has a desert epiphany and then makes a "high concept" album apparently.
But I have to use cruise control when I am listening to it driving. I already got one speeding ticket listening to Na Na Na. I don't need to collect the whole Killjoy set. I just paid Party Poison and we'll call it good.
That must be some sort of record, Cass. You should tweet the boys, I'm sure they'll be touched.
I'm enjoying how a high concept epiphany in the desert ends up sounding like The Outfield of all fucking things. Cobras, I'd just expect, frankly (seriously, Planetary (Go!) sounds like someone finally locked GABE in the basement). The Psychadelic Furs vibes are more than welcome. I'm not complaining, mind you, they've given me Georgia Satelites in the past so I guess nothing should surprise me.
Not even that part on DESTROYA where Gerard and Frank sound for all the world like they're doing it.
So, I'm thinking of making a CD of Pink Floyd covers for my siblings for Christmas. Any suggestions? Right now I have:
- Wish You Were Here - Rasputina
- Goodbye Blue Sky - Luther Wright & the Wrongs
- Another Brick In The Wall Part1 - Luther Wright & the Wrongs
- Comfortably Numb - Scissors Sisters
- Interstellar Overdrive - Camper Van Bethoven
Any others? I seem to recall a cool cover of "See Emily Play," but I don't have it. Perhaps I dreamt it?
Bowie die a cover of "See Emily Play" on Pinups but I can't judge it since I'm unfamiliar with the original.
Oh, that's where I heard it. I have Pinups on LP but not CD, so I haven't listened to it in decades. Was meaning to buy Pinups anyway....
