Failed Pilot

Ah…my life of clarifying. While I did do the Best Show calls, I know that Jeff and I were bouncing this character off one another during that time, and once the call (on the CD) came around, Jeff performed it (and came up with much of the call….I submitted some notes/points….we were in my kitchen, Memphis, a couple of years ago). I based the Best Show character on the HBO Undercover documentary, Small Town Ecstasy (if anyone knows where I can obtain a copy of this…..). If you’ve witnessed this piece of work, “Ditchweed” should ring slightly familiar.

The Solomon Grundy album…..bust through a wall like a big fat Van Conner and harrass the nearest cutout bin or eBay auction. You will pay no more than two bux, but it’s worth 6x that. Take what you hate about late-period Screaming Trees (first three albums are worth seeking out, btw) and replace it with what you love about grade-A power pop. Thank god the Screaming Trees weren’t getting along in 1990. You may ask, “What is this Seattle phase, sir?” Tad documentary? Blown away. Might watch it AGAIN tonight once I finish with more important concerns. Torche, Solomon Grundy, and Tad….this week I’ve listened only to bands fronted by big boys.

I’m going to have to weigh in here and state that “esteemed” is far too generous. I just noticed the initials. You’re too kind!!
