clifford_thornton Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) By the way, I think the idea of listening to music for purely nostalgic reasons hits a few nails on the head w/r/t Wilburys and the Dylan recs in question (indeed, many of his records are pretty damn questionable if you ask me). That's an entirely different reason to spin a disc than - say, edc or I do - but it's not a dealbreaker either. Just not my thing. Perhaps Cameron Crowe's... yecch.

robertoart Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I was working at the Electric Fetus in Mpls when the Wilburies were current and people would come in to ask for it and not be able to exactly remember the name...best garblization was "the wandering wallabies". For me, hearing Bob relaxed and funny was by far the best part... This could be the same person that went into another store and asked the person behind the counter if they had any recordings by the saxophonist 'newsetateeth'.

Never said that I listened to music for "purely" nostalgic reasons. Fact is, I didn't LIKE "Under the Red Sky" when it came out. Point of fact, I hated it. I loved "Oh Mercy" and "UTRS" seemed a piss-poor follow-up. In those days, I took my Dylan WAAAAAY too seriously. It was only years and years later that a friend of mine said that I should give it another try. By that point, I had learned to lighten up considerably, and I found that "UTRS" was a fun little lark (not too dissimilar to the Wilbury albums, in fact). However, anybody who listens to music for a long period of time cannot HELP but make associations between the music and the lives they lead when they are LISTENING to that music. When I first got the Joni Mitchell album "The Hissing of Summer Lawns," I was dirt poor and living in Boston. Listening to that album evokes that time for me. I don't listen to it solely for that reason, but the fact remains that it will always make me think of walking down Comm Ave. without a penny in my pocket...

clifford_thornton Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I understand what you're saying, but I get a hell of a lot more out of say, SY, Dinosaur Jr., etc. now than I ever did in high school, when that music was at its zenith. I don't really think about how great getting stoned in the back parking lot listening to "Suck You Dry" was when I throw on a Mudhoney record. Funny, too, I remember my dad playing Anthony Braxton recs when I was a kid, but listening to Conference of the Birds doesn't evoke recollections of homework at the kitchen table. To bring it more recently, I got into the Incredible String Band after college when I was living in New York. Now, my recollections of that time have nothing to do with ISB and all to do with the time/place outside of tastes. Also, I can't understand why I even listened to that shit, but didn't get rid of the albums for whatever reason... but anyway, I guess we're different in that respect.

To me, music has always been very intimately connected to the circumstances in my life when I was listening to it. I was heavily into CSN and Buffalo Springfield when I was in high school. When I put on the live recording of Neil Young performing "On The Way Home" from the "Four Way Street" album, I can still smell the wood burning stoves that were pressed into service when the freak blizzard of early October of 1987 knocked the power out. When I hear "Bluebird" by Buffalo Springfield, I think about a girl I had a crush on during the fall of my Junior year. I don't listen to this music to remember the past, but I do remember the past when I hear this music. It's like the protagonist of "A La Recherche du Temps Perdu" eating the petit madeline soaked in tea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Basten II Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) You have to go pack to the main page to get back to this offer. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00...3268&sr=8-2 By the i used the search function to check out what they (Importscd) were offering and at a certain point they told me to wait because i've made too many searches A few minutes i still have this message when i use the search function for this store "You have made too many requests to this page. Please try again later. " How the hell are we supposed to buy their stuff if we can't look at their inventory ?
