[quote=""Ludmilla""]In heavy rotation right now are Swoon by Silversun Pickups, Fantasies by Metric, Light it Up by Rev Theory and Adelitas Way's self-titled album.

Also heard a new cover of Cry Little Sister (some might remember this one from the film, The Lost Boys) which is making me want to download the old versions of it.[/quote]

I love, love, love this song, my favourite from TLB. Someone did a dance mix a couple of years ago which featured the chorus as a sample, it was pretty dreadful.

Yeah, I think it has actually been covered by quite a few artists. I'm almost afraid to listen to the Rob Zombie version (actually just did, and it's not bad). The version I heard on sat radio was the Seasons After radio edit. I have buried in a box somewhere one of the earlier covers by Charlie Sexton (on cassette). Now isn't that name a blast from the past!

Ah, in that Case a Scottish battle song. Siol Ghoraidh by Runrig

Hey, someone who knows Runrig

Rampant Scottish nationalism at its peak!

I've got a copy of their DVD Wheel in Motion which I still drag out for an airing every now and then. Fabulous setting at Loch Lomond - great stuff- probably represents the band at their best.

Another Deadhead!

Dead.net just released "Crimson, White, and Indigo"--3 CDs and a DVD of that very show, if I'm not mistaken. Have it at home, will have to check...

Btw, just saw Dylan here in Japan this Spring, and was pretty disappointed.

Thanks...will have to check it out.....Concert disappointments...I can relate....saw CSN&Y few years ago..never again...still love them but no more concerts.....BTW Numerous hits and misses with Dylan....Reminds me of my experiences with the unpredictable/great Van Morrison....having tantrums and walking off the stage in the middle of a set.....Rock and Roll.....P.S....Man! do I miss the boys.....

You and me both, brother, though I was born too late and in the wrong place and time to have seen them live...

To my lasting disappointment...Just grateful I found them on my own!

Here's the link for the "Crimson, White & Indigo" set--with t-shirt!

A kindred spirit!

Thanks for the tip on Netflix. And if you can get your hands on a copy, check out 1971-05-30 at Winterland--Pig Pen is on fire!

Indeed, the world is much less bright for having lost Jerry, but fortunately he left us with a huge legacy. Long live the tapers, traders, and appreciators!
