Rock lineage, the Blues
Rock guitar slinger lineage, the Beatlesque lineage, etc. This thought was
just extension of the Govt Mule falling short of the Allmans due to songwriting
train of thought expressed, I think by you, but possibly by someone else
in the thread...I didn't at all mean to imply that there was no orignal stuff
going on now, just pointing out a certain trend of watering down in terms
of writing.
But...if I may drive you further up the wall.....I love the latest Wilco
record, own all their albums actually, and have opened for them, but wouldn't
consider Tweedy to be highly original, and I wouldn't stack Sky Blue Sky
up against Music from Big Pink. I love (and own) all the Big Star records,
but I wouldn't stack them up against the Beatles or Kinks.
Westerberg is an original voice in my mind as well.
Did you mean to cite Lyle Lovett, The Replacements, Big Star or Wilco
as NEW artists? Or was this just speaking to a 60's fixation that I don't
actually have but was, I guess, implied by my post?

Paris moved to home detention for 40 days

That's a load. Think you or I would get that kind of a deal for what she
did?

Could be... increase your latency settings, since that doesn't
matter on mixdown anyway & try exporting it anew.

Give what a rest? Could you be more specific?What is funny, is that you "freeze"drives to get the data from it, but you
'"bake" audio tapes to get the data from them.....
Who woulda thought??
