Well...I wouldn't say that, but yes, it's a very good album. I think I prefer it to HTTT, if that's any sort of indication.

in ROLLING STONE magazine's TOP 50 ALBUMS of 2006

THOM YORKE/The Eraser came in #34

in RS TOP 100 SONGS of 2006

Not that I agree with their picks,but,they do have a pretty good cross section of music in all genres from LADY SOVEREIGN to TOM PETTY to REGINA SPEKTOR to TOM WAITS to YEAH YEAH YEAHS to GNARLS BARKLEY to BOB DYLAN,etc.

actually posted that for your amusement...reviews are mixed...some say it's a great album,some say NAS is selling out...thanks to your prodding Iv'e actually been listening to some HIP HOP...I kinda like LADY SOVEREIGN lyrics..."Just check out how my flow differs/I'm droppin' lyrics like a ho droppin knickers." ...Here's another "I ain't got the biggest breastesses,but I write the best disses"...She was on LETTERMAN recently,very interesting...

I recently saw a magazine ad for a re-issue of Neil Young and Crazy Horse,Live at the Fillmore East March 6 & 7 1970...At the bottom of the ad is a picture of the marque for the day...

13 -15 JON MAYALL
19 - 21 MOODY BLUES
27 - 28 JOE COCKER/BRIAN AUGER

I unfortunatly have to agree with your above assessment...

I have been reading the magazine since it started almost 40 years ago...The last few years it has been taking the same route as MTV..They both are abandoning POP/ROCK to more crossover type music that targets the RAP/HIP HOP crowd...

[Fulghum]

I just picked up the new release "The Road to Escondito" yesterday.

The long time pals and one of the best Songwriter/Musician synergies EVER finally decided to do a duet album...

J.J.Cale and Eric Clapton.

Damn, It's GREAT !!!


On a sadder note, but noteworthy none the less. This album showcases the final recordings of the late great Billy Preston.

I'm thinking of going to pick up some more TV on the Radio today...

*ponders*

or the Black Star collaboration, to boost my hip hop collection.. herm
