Dan Aloi commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Another gratuitous comment about Bob Dylan's birthday'
The first 'A Nod to Bob' was a bore, a few interesting curios like 'Clothes Line Saga' aside - and it infuriated me for omitting Colorblind James, a onetime member of the Red House stable and a huge Dylan fan who organized…
Dan Aloi commented on Lanny Durbin's blog post 'Marshall Crenshaw w/ the Bottle Rockets - Off Broadway. Saint Louis, MO - 1-21-11'
aw, how can anyone not like the Bottle Rockets, even on record? I saw Marshall cover 'Kit Kat Klock' a few years back, so he's obviously been a fan for a while. Bun E. Carlos sat in in Indy? that's so cool. I don't…

I played this last night in Cortland!
Dan Aloi replied to Stina's discussion 'Snowy Weather/Snowbound Music Survival Kit'
In this situation I tend to go for one of three categories - old favorites I haven't listened to in a while (Elvis Costello, or whatever); new-ish CDs I haven't gotten to yet; and various obscure things I have neglected in recent…

Dan Aloi commented on JeffK's blog post 'The Promise'
This SS link works ... http://southernshelter.com/2007/12/patterson-hood-as-bruce-springsteen-40-watt-12107/
Dan Aloi commented on JeffK's blog post 'The Promise'
The lawsuit (and an obsession with Elvis around the time of his death) made it a pretty fertile period for Springsteen - he could tour, write and record but not release anything. Some live songs like 'Action in the Streets' are killers,…
Dan Aloi commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Grant Alden's Field Notes, Thanksgiving edition'
No Loudon Wainwright III? "Thanksgiving" - "I almost took Mom out with a turkey leg this year..."
No Graham Parker? "Almost Thanksgiving Day"
Both are literal and on-topic.

Dan Aloi commented on Bob Ellis's blog post '3rd Annual Harry Smith Festival - November 14, 2010 - Millheim PA'
I was there! And have been lazy about recapping ... or too busy being Anthology-obsessed and writing extra verses to "Fall on My Knees."
Dan Aloi commented on Stayb's group 'Neil Young Forever'
My top 3: 1) Hawks and Doves 2) American Stars 'N Bars 3) On the Beach. Also a big fan of Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, Everybody's Rockin' and Comes a Time ... but really, they're ALL good.
Dan Aloi commented on No Depression's blog post 'Johnny Cash trivia contest'
I tend to get the 'Unearthed' songs confused with the separate American albums because it's all of a piece -- but off the latter, I'd say Neil Diamond's 'Solitary Man' seems to have been made for Johnny on the…
Dan Aloi commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'The new Johnny Cash album press release says...'
Ain't No Grave is my favorite trad. song along with John the Revelator. Entirely appropriate. i've heard maybe only Satisfied Mind from this set of songs (the version on Unearthed) -- looking forward to it.
Dan Aloi commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Counting down to Cayamo, and a word about Scythian'
My town has a Scythian sickness - they keep coming back for festivals and club gigs. i've seen what they do - before, from other bands - so I'm not so impressionable. But if you like to drink and jump around, they're your band.
Dan Aloi commented on Rod Ames's blog post 'Yo La Tengo's alter ego scores with this completely inappropriately named (but I bought it anyway) tribute CD -'
Did I Tell You is one of THE tenderest alt-country ballads ever. Or: the pedal steel makes it so, anyway... Fakebook also has some rootsy Monkees and Holy Modal Rounders songs. -- funny it came out the same year at Uncle Tupelo's debut. Glad…
Dan Aloi commented on Rod Ames's blog post '“Why, Why, Why” hasn't Doug Sahm been considered for induction to the Rock ‘N Roll hall of fame?'
The HoF, is, of course, as bogus as the popularity contest that is the Grammys. I remember asking Warren Zanes about possible inductees' chances about 5 years ago - he admitted to loving NRBQ too, but their hopes were nil. And, he pointed out,…

Janglin' U.S.A. -- R.E.M. Contest entry
Janglin’ USA
“I saw R.E.M., and they were just a bunch of dirty hippies!”
– an early-’80s college memory from my sister Peg.
I personally fell in love with R.E.M. after hearing “Can’t Get There From Here” many times on a local coffeepot FM station in 1985, while working dreary second and third shifts. And then it was “Driver 8,” and then I bought an LP of “Murmur” and cassettes of “Reckoning” and “Fables…” for the car and before you could say… Continue
