Message-ID: <1323053937.22928.YahooMailClassic@web161513.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> Hello (y')all .... and Southern salutations to you from the state of North Carolina. In Chalkhills 17-10 (just received today as a matter of fact), the inquisitive Jack D sent the following missive ~ > Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:43:17 -0800 (PST) > From: Jack D <jydson@yahoo.com> > Subject: one hit wonders? > Message-ID: <1322412197.89695.YahooMailNeo@web161602.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> > Good Morning Chalkids... > Sort of in the one hit wonder topic thread, I often ponder XTC's lack of > mass appeal and I ask myself "Who are the world's greatest bands you've > never heard of ? "...Here's three of mine, will you please share yours? > 1) Crack the Sky 2) NRBQ 3) Deaf School Jackie, Jackie, Jackie!! Believe it or not, there are indeed some of us - especially here in the South - who not only have heard of the mighty NRBQ, but have also shown an undying dedication towards them (not unlike the same dedication to The Swindon Three/Four) for many many moons! Terry Adams and Co. are the epitome of the term "the BEST rock and roll club band" out there. I'm not ashamed at all to proclaim that I absolutely LOVE them! And to know that Terry is now carrying on the 'Q name with his new band members (formerly and collectively known as The Terry Adams Rock & Roll Quartet) only makes me smile that much more. Their latest release - "Keep This Love Goin'" - is a must-have for any lingering 'Q fans out there and I can't really day enough good things about it without sounding corny about it. (Have I already reached that point? Who knows? Who cares?!) The music still speaks for itself, folks ... and if NRBQ ever do show up in a venue near you, pleeeeeeeeeeeease do yourselves and favor and GO SEE THEM!!! With fans like Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, and so many others out there, it's gotta mean something, right? THE 'Q ROCKS - plain and simple. Thanks, Jack, for bringing their name to the XTC table. It's wonderful to know that there are others out there who've also heard of a band that still matters in this world. As far as your question is concerned though, I'd like to add my three answers here: 1. Iron And Wine 2. Liquid Mind 3. The General Store Any takers on these three names? I'll be waiting ....

My wife has grown tired of my constant references to "Hitler's Singing Vagina" already. Some of what Andy has said recently leads me to believe he's done releasing his own new material. He said something to the effect of it's a game for young people and old people just tend to embarrass themselves. I somewhat agree, but Elvis Costello has put out some of his strongest material in 20 years recently. I would gladly trade in 10 Mighty Like a Roses for just 1 Secret, Profane and Sugarcane.
