I love the Beautiful South......mostly the first couple, and mostly mostly the first. they were kinda like the smiths & belle&sebastian all rolled up into one.
kinda.
i've been listening to the latest records by Aimee Mann, Sam Phillips, BB King, Joe Henry, Rodney Crowell, Loudon Wainright....pretty much anything produced by Joe Henry or T-Bone Burnett. That's my home music. Also been listening to a bunch of 70's country rock-ish stuff (Pure Prairie League, Poco, America)...and then he kinda stuff that I put together for the DJ thing at the Bikini, fun stuff.

I think it's okay to say who you like, AND who you don't like.....Is a person not supposed to express their opinion about someone, just because they are a local musician? That's silly.
My thing has always been that I have felt, that perhaps, we tend to support WHO we like, as opposed to WHAT we like....and that, maybe, we are not even interested in projects by individuals who we don't feel positively about, or individuals that we don't know....and, maybe, that's how it seem a bit clique-y to people.
For anyone out there who has made the mistake of meeting their heroes, you know that sometimes they are not the nicest people...
It sucks to sometimes have to make a decision between good art & nice people...
Man, my friends are jerks, but when they shut up, they sure do make some nice music....
Maybe that's the difference between local bands & the one's whose albums we listen to all the way through....we don't have to hang out with the 'national ones' so we don't know, or care, if they are jerks....
I go to see music I like, regardless whether of not I like the people, when I have the time & the money, and that's all I could ask of anyone, really.
There is tooooo much good music to go see in Phoenix......

this is the most amazing thread that should have never existed.
It's not really very good, and you know it.
It's petty, snippy, & mean spirited.

It seems I remember a time on the Shizz we talked about music a lot...
no? maybe? It wasn't as much sarcasm & irony...well, except for 'Rudolpho of Pensacola'. he always kept things fun & light.

Three weeks ago? I believe I did state that we hadn't played that song in a few weeks.
Again, talk to the bandleader, not the drummer.

Not everything is meant for a message board....
and thanks for contributing to a situation that was already bad enough.
Maybe you should mind your own business, as basically, you are gossiping.
a) I just play drums, I don't get to pick the tunes.
we don't play it every set.
c) ever known any musicians that weren't your favorite people, but managed to write a decent song (or many decent songs)???
d) another lame part about a scene is when you DO have to pretend to like everyone & their bands...it's tiring...
e) Herb? Who the fuck is Herb?
and I IM'd you my number. Use it, ya goofball...I'm guessing we'll end up agreeing on a few things & finding we have more in common than not.
Eavesdropper...
and I get the sneaking suspicion that you are Jeff Gonzales.

OK. For what it's worth I'm a music writer. A microcosm of the Phoenix music scene; I went to a show the other night and I overheard a few members of the band talking shit about the person who's song they were covering (THAT NIGHT!). I was appalled. OK I'll mention names. Shane Kennedy. In Matthew Reveles' band. Covering Jeff Gonzales' song Midday Epilogue (a young lady told me they play it in every set). I don't live here (and even if I did) I'm not afraid of repercussions from big fish in small ponds. Have some goddamn respect will you?
That sums up the scene; cliques, and general disrespect. LA sucks too but at least there's a general respect and comaraderie amongst the bands. Achieve that (without elitism) and there just might be a thriving music scene out here.
But the way, my name is Herb Ferguson, herbieferbie@yahoo.com
Maybe you should know what your talking about about before you open your mouth, because, once I do, you're gonna feel an asshole.

and yes, Jeff, me & my Shizz friends ( ) know this is you....as it seems to coincide with MySpace posts that you are putting up.
Sorry, folks...
Additionally, I find the downtown scene to be great & really supportive.....they are some great new bands & the ones that have been around for a few years are doing some of their best work....There are some great festivals coming up, and yes, the Shizz is putting one on. I've found the Shizz crowd to be quite the opposite of elitist, although we all are in our own way. Most, but by no means all, of the so-called "Shizz" bands (I hate to break it to you, but there are no 'official' Shizz bands) tend to rock out, and the Shizz hasn't, usually, been that into the mellowish-country thing...But their are wonderful exceptions to that....Rum Tenor, Nowhere Man & a Whiskey Girl, Lonna Kelley..and I had a lovely talk a few months ago with Donald about doing a Shizz Roots/Americana fest.....and as far as you thinking that I have any pull on the Shizz, sorry Charlie...the folks on the Shizz have, more than once, had to kick me on the ass.
The Shizz isn't some big scene that controls the Phoenix music scene...it's a lil homespun website of some neighbors, some friends, some musicians, some visual artists...every so often they put on a nice show, or festival, with some of those folks.
Certainly the way to get involved with these people is not to write accusatory & negative posts on a site that is frequented by a bunch of folks who are just trying to be cool & do their part. I have made that mistake before & I was set straight.
Also, posting anonymously doesn't work too well, as their are some hardcore technerds on here who are pretty slick about tracing IP addresses...

Gossiping? YOU are talking about gossiping?
Is it SO incomprehensable that someone else doesn't care for your bullshit? I can assure you I'm not Jeff, just someone who sees things for what they are. Don't you want a nice write up?
write me at herbieferbie@yahoo.com if you wanna talk
I don't care about a nice write up, no...
Jeff & Matt's issues are really not for public viewing, I'm sorry that we were overheard discussing it, but I'm not sure how you can point fingers at this point.

and yes, I'll take the Social Security number, thanks...
and you weren't at the show the other night...
We haven't played that song for a few weeks, I think.
You can email me directly. You have before.

This thread inspired me to smoke a pack of cigarettes, get angry, get teary-eyed, and listened to some of the hours of old rehearsal recordings I have (there was lot's of laughing, farting & people saying "Shane, will you please PASS that fuckin' thing", and a bunch of versions of "Runaway" that broke down in hysterics...)
Memories are a mixed blessing....
I think I had a nice time at that New Years party that Rum Tenor played....
and that's all I have to say about that.
