Yeah but Matthew Sweet's video had Japanese animation back when it was still kind of a freaky alien thing instead of just something you get into because you're in denial that you're a furry.

Which is fuckin' awesome.

There's no doubt that Macca's actual SONG is better.

What is with you people?  I was totally ready to go to the mat for McCartney.  Ha ha...

[theinevitable]

I don't really like him beyond the Beatles era other than Band on the Run, that song is cool. But like, what, are we going to argue about his compositional style?

[pmcd9]

You take that back.

Did everyone see the White House deal where Dave Grohl played that song? So sweet.

fuck yes!  i saw that and it was VERY sweet.

i practically had a crush on dave grohl when i was in my late teens and early 20s.

I have it on the DVR. I like McCartney but jesus they picked some fucked songs to cover. We Can Work It Out and Blackbird were good, though. I think the Stevie White House thing was better.

My favorite part of that was Jack White's Mother Natures Son/That Would be Something.

Today I am streaming Richard Cheese's new release.

Also, I liked the Jack White deal, but . . . well, it doesn't surprise me that he would choose that song to play at all, but I wish he had played something he could have cut loose on. I guess I should be content - I've seen him live like six times or something, and he's ripped it up plenty. Maybe I'm just greedy. I did really like Grohl shredding at the White House and talking about when he was growing up in DC and being in shitty little clubs. That was fun.

All I want to listen to is this song over and over and over.
Every once in a while I throw in this one for good measure.

The moment when the beat comes in after all of that sax solo just makes me want to die. You need some real bass capabilities to get the full effect, my computer speakers don't cut it.

I really need someone who knows from music theory to teach me about how rhythm works. I can't tell a quarter note from an eighth note, I can't tell when something is in 3/4, and don't even ask me about polyrhythms. I can imitate the rhythm of a song and strum it on my guitar, but that is as far as it goes. When I try to write it down, I end up thinking everything is the same. Especially if it is syncopated at all.


No one is responding to my craigslist postings where I basically say "I want to start Creedence Krautrock Revival." Damn. Just be in a band where we jam weirdly on Creedence songs. You can't tell me you don't want to just endlessly play this rhythm riff.
Where the "krautrock" element is my dumb-ass bad at guitar version. I just want to play one riff over and over again and then play a stupid noisy solo over it.


So I guess what I'm saying is, I have transitioned from "songs should be 2:00 long" to "songs should be 15:00 long, but just repeat one or two 10 second riffs for the whole duration."

richard cheese is hella funny and rad.

We saw him in Vegas new year's eve a few years ago. It was awesome. Then we saw him in Portland, and it was pretty good. He can be pretty rude live, in a fun way.

I can't tell when something is in 3/4

If you feel like waltzing when you hear it then it is in 3/4. That is the extent of my musical knowledge.

When you transition to songs should be whatever length makes the most sense for that particular song we'll have something to talk about.

Thanks for the Creedence and the Fela Kuti.  That was a hell of a jam.

I can't tell when something is in 3/4

In a time signature the top number is the number of beats per measure and the second number tells the length of the beat.  a 4 represents a quarter note.  So your standard 4/4 time is four beats per measure and a quarter note is one beat. This is the most common time signature, and probably 99.9 percent of rock and roll.  I can't even think off the top of my head of a rock song in 3/4 time.  I'll get back to you.
