Vinyl Me Please Country

I think I've told this on here before and I don't remember who it is in the band, but one of the guys in the band stole the girlfriend of a guy I worked with (like 25 years ago) and he was very sour about it.

maybe if your coworker had frosted tips, he could have kept the girl.

Has to be Chris cause there is no way in hell Sean stole anyone from anyone.

He did not have frosted tips, so you may be on to something.

I know I’ve said this before but I didn’t listen to Nickel Creek for years because Nickelback.

This is how you remind me!

A few days ago I decided to listen to a Nickelback song to see if I remembered any. After poor ticket sales for the Friday night of a local radio station holiday concert, they combined those bands with the Saturday night lineup. This is how I ended up seeing Nickelback in concert before they'd had any traction in the US yet. They put on a great show and I thought they were ok. A few years later and they were polluting the radio non-stop with their formulaic crap. Still I didn't get all the hate, just not a band I cared to follow. But I tried a few days ago and it's much worse than I remembered. Their first two albums still are pretty inoffensive rock, but as they broke out their sound became a symptom of everything I disliked about mainstream rock radio at the time. It's very cringe inducing.

If you spent any time in a Moose Lodge in the 80s, Ronnie Milsap will resonate, but otherwise that is a real moment in time selection which I can't see them moving for years. weird choice. might as well tee up some Eddie Rabbitt or Crystal Gayle next quarter.

My great grandparents used to take me to the Friday Night walleye fish fry at the Pontiac Moose Lodge occasionally when I was a little kid and I was born in 1981 so maybe it will resonate with me more than I think.

This is a solid album of course, but imagine you've never heard of them and you saw this cover and only know that it came out in 2000. What genre are you guessing?

Yeah, they used to give off heavy autumnal Christian rock vibes.

Surprising no one, I could not tell you the name of or difference between a Shinedown or Nickelback song.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Evidently @spilledleche is a connoisseur of late hard rock? Who knew?

 

[spilledleche]

i know lots about lots

 

[Nee Lewman]

i know lots about lots

So I assume it is Shinedown that I offended somehow because there is no way a rational record nerd is defending Nickelback.

 

[Nee Lewman]

For anyone who wasn’t aware:

 

[Nee Lewman]

Yup, zero reason to replace these. I believe it was a digital recording and these craft 45 rpm Bellman cuts are basically perfect.

Yeah but what if the frosted tips are glow-in-the-dark?

A nice spot gloss would work well too.

I’m enjoying this Ronnie Milsap. I look forward to grabbing it when it eventually has 40% off

You could grab a near mint OG on Discogs for like $12 shipped.

 

[jfitzy]

I think I’m 0 for 3 next quarter. Pretty disappointed with the picks.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I need to listen to Milsap to make sure, but I will probably be swapping.
