The Men are always so close to being amazing and don't quite get there. I have all of their albums (at least through a certain point) and get really excited about the first song and then get bored. I saw them in a basement in St Louis the summer I broke up with that girl, that was an awesome night.

They were the first band shirt I had bought in a few years, and then I immediately outgrew it it shrunk or something. Sucks.

Oh man, I was way behind on the sum of almost everything I want guitars to do.

I just dug through almost 100 pages of this thread looking for the previous song I had posted that did the same verse/chorus texture thing that this song does. Doyyyyy, it was another Kinks song.

A great song.  Dave Davies is such an underappreciated guitar player.

Man, I love that album, but don't like most of their early stuff.  Which is the opposite of most bands.  Except this song, this song is incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj9671V_UxA

Possibly my favorite Kinks song, so that's saying a lot.

I really love a particular live version of this song. I can't find it on YouTube, but Here is the closest I could find. There's a lot of different versions of the Kinks playing this song live and they are all very different from one another which tells me they were pretty uneven live.

Judging from the tempo, cocaine may have been involved in that version.

Saw the last show with original members of my old roommates' band. One guy is going off to grad school and is being replaced. It was excellent. They have all grown long hair and are looking very (70s? grungy?). I am upset, because I took a picture from the street of the patio at this par with almost every single person I know in St Louis, and then the picture disappeared from my phone. I know it was going to come out blurry and dark, but I wanted to capture that moment.

Also, I didn't tell any of them I was coming. They were very surprised/blown away, which felt great. I told them that now I demand to be labeled their biggest fan.

You know that thing where your favorite band comes out with a new song and you hate it and realize they are going in a direction you will be unable to follow? One of the advantages of age is that you've learned this is a thing that happens. It's still sad but not as shocking and heartbreaking as the first few times.

Did this happen recently with a particular favorite band or is this just a general observation? (Sorry I don't know your favorite band)

It did happen recently with a particular favorite band. And at least I could take comfort in the fact that my reaction is more "it's better to have loved and lost..." than it used to be.

I finally found the guitar solo that's been in my head for years. It's "Say That You Love Me" by Fleetwood Mac.

Now that I found it, I am feeling like maybe I "found" it once before. And maybe even posted it on here.

Great job, guys.

That really killed two birds with one stone. It made a song I never really cared about (Chop Suey) interesting while also giving new life to a song I had become extremely bored with (Crocodile Rock).

I listened to a KEXP podcast earlier this week in which the host didn't actually name any of the bands or songs. One song in particular made me say "That sure sounds like Swervedriver."
Turns out, it was Swervedriver. Go figure.

Also, if you're not on the Jason Isbell bandwagon yet, this live show may put you there.
