In Snake's Collection
None, so sad!
Hey, I Know Those Guys
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - Pavement & Darkland - The Jesus And Mary Chain
I got a different album by each of these bands given to me once. I remember not being blown away, but still digging the The Jesus and Mary Chain a little bit more than Pavement. I think they were given to they supposedly sounded like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, or something about they were like the Pumpkins or some crap like that. I think I threw away the CDs the other weekend when I cleaned out my collection if that tells you anything.
The Rest
Damaged - Black Flag
Whenever I hear the name Black Flag anymore, I think of the Ataris cover of 'Boys of Summer' where they changed the line from Deadhead sticker to Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac. I think I could really like this album. But it seems to me that Henry Rollins wishes he was Iggy Pop. But the dude knows his stuff and I definitely wouldn't wanna meet him in a dark alley.
The Dandy Warhols Come Down - The Dandy Warhols
Here is my thoughts on what Red posted. This one makes it because this is what the Warhols were known for. I haven't heard but snippets of this album, but that is what I read from the big fans. 13 Tales doesn't make it because according to the true Dandy fans, they sold out making that album. The head of the band basically said he set out to make a tribute to the classic rock album where the whole album was the main focus, not any particular song (which he nailed). But to the fans, they read that as selling out cause he made music people wanted to hear, not what he wanted to make. It doesn't quite make sense, but maybe if you were with them from the beginning, it might. It seems more to me that they just kinda flow from one sound to the next, because the follow up, "Welcome To The Monkey House" sounded pretty different from 13 Tales.
Da Capo - Love
I see how The Doors opened for these guys. I listened to excerpts on ITunes and they basically sound like the Doors but without the Charisma that was Jim Morrison. Kinda of like that grooving 60's sound that was pretty mellow and had that druggy feel to it.
Crosby, Stills and Nash - Crosby, Stills and Nash
I would add 'Wooden Ships' to the list of great songs. They played it at Woodstock and that is where I know it from.

None, this was a weird week.

While I like the Ataris, I've always kind of thought that they are very much the musical equivalent of putting a Black Flag or Grateful Dead sticker on a Cadillac.
Do remember watching SNL that night Rollins Band was the musical act? We had no freaking clue who Henry Rollins was. He came out in just some short pants, no shirt, no shoes and wrapped the mic cord around his hand about 5 times and just like growled into it. It was weird and disturbing. I don't think that is quite the same image of Black Flag, but I have always felt listening to Rollins talk now that he is more a fan than an artist. He is very smart and opinionated. He knows what he is talking about. But he has this talk show on some channel that I caught a piece of once. I think he was interviewing Steven Tyler and it was a crappy interview, I thought, because he was basically awe struck and gushing over Tyler the entire time. Like you could tell he was a big fan. Maybe that is part of the reason I have grown to like him alot, as a person at least. He isn't that different from me or you.
I do remember Rollins on SNL.I remember him having a show too. I think it was on DirectTV or something. Can't remember what it was called. Probably the Henry Rollins show.
On related topic, I heard Dan Bernstein talking about Elvis Costello starting some sort of talk show with musicians. I guess he's a really good interviewer. Who knew?
