Mike Sweeney commented on Ryan Mifflin's blog post 'CONCERT REVIEW: Discovering Jason & The Scorchers'
Nice review! JATS are one of the best live bands in the history of the world (no BS!). That's a great double bill you got too, with Brian Henneman. Saw the Scorchers last year for the first time since the 80's... they haven't lost a…
Mike Sweeney commented on David Butler's photo
That is a ridiculously cool photo!
Mike Sweeney replied to Jack's discussion 'Uncle Tupelo & The Jayhawks'
It's a personal preference thing. These bands were completely different in their approach, skills & delivery. Much of the UT praise comes post-mortem, and I think a lot of it is based on what Farrar & Tweedy have done since then.…
Mike Sweeney commented on Jeff Strowe's blog post 'Wilco-The Whole Love'
I feel much the same as azkc.
What I found ironic about this review is that the focus was on the 3 songs I like the least on the entire new disc. In fact, the opening & closing songs are essentially unlistenable to me.
Maybe…
Mike Sweeney commented on Alan Harrison's blog post 'Jason Ringenberg at Camden, London'
Great review!
Jason's all-too-rare solo shows are always fabulous... he's one of the best solo acoustic performers I've ever seen. I only wish he got around to doing this more often.
Mike Sweeney commented on hyperbolium.com's blog post 'Review: NRBQ - Keep This Love Goin’ (Clang, 2011)'
Definitely miss Big Al, but if that's Pete Donnelly of Figgs fame... wow, cool slot for him.
Mike Sweeney commented on Craig Young's blog post 'Not So Loud: An Acoustic Evening With the Bottle Rockets'
Sounds fantastic. Looking forward to it!
Mike Sweeney commented on Jeff Strowe's blog post 'Old 97's Live at the Cat's Cradle'
Nice review. I've seen them about 25 times all over the US since '99 & they are always great.
Mike Sweeney commented on Barbara Bruederlin's blog post 'interview with Olenka Krakus: deconstructing the house concert phenomenon'
This is a great trend. I think there's often much more in these types of events for both the artists & audience. Hope the opportunities in this regard continue to expand.
Mike Sweeney commented on Gianfranco Callieri's blog post 'THE REPLACEMENTS [EXPANDED]: THIS BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE'
The greatest band of all time. Raw, authentic, flawed & unpredictable.
Mike Sweeney commented on Craig Young's blog post 'Mekons Documentary In the Making'
Fantastic news. Saw them a bunch of times in the mid/late 80's & was fortunate enough to catch them a few years back when they did a mostly acoustic show at World Cafe in Philly. Great, great band & always loads of fun onstage... plus…
Mike Sweeney commented on Chris Mateer's blog post 'Jayhawks Tour For "Hollywood Town Hall" & "Tomorrow The Green Grass" Reissues'
Got tix to the Philly show... really looking forward to it!
Mike Sweeney commented on Dana Blaisdell's blog post 'Deer Tick: Takin' Care of Business'
I'm thrilled not only to see this fine article here, but also to see all the support from other fans. These guys are truly a breath of fresh air. Good times, indeed.
Mike Sweeney commented on Paul Cantin's blog post 'Record Review: The Falcon Lake Incident -- Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans'
This sounds great! It's on my list.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid the title & the timing of this release could be connected to the recent Falcon Lake incident (at Falcon Lake on the TX/Mexico boarder).
Mike Sweeney commented on No Depression's blog post '2010 No Depression Festival Lineup Announcement'
Excellent line up! Wish I could head West for it.
