So I'm midway through my total CD backup project, hitting the letter "J" this week, and it just hit me...
I really really miss the Jesus Lizard. Hand's down the best live band I've ever seen. Ever.
-
Fugazi
Superdrag
-
GBV
also Superdrag
Dismemberment Plan but just for the shows
Wilco (the one from a few years ago)
Beulah
-
Canyon
Monster Magnet (which might still be around)
Urge Overkill
And I miss the Grateful Dead. My music tastes have moved on, but if they were still touring with Jerry, I'd still go (June 25, 1995 was my 62nd and last show). I will always love the songs, the playing, the community spirit and the drugs.

absolutely. you can't believe how excited i am to even see the scratch acid reunion next week in chicago.
i also miss come and polvo and unwound.

The Boo Radleys
Catherine Wheel
The Dead Milkmen
Inspiral Carpets (who I guess technically are back together, just not making it this side of the pond yet)
Jesus and Mary Chain
Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Paw
The Ramones
Sugar
but the one I miss the most is Elliott Smith. I feel it almost every fucking day, and 3 years after his death I cannot get over what a void it has left in me...weird for a guy I never met. For all I know he could have been a total jerk, but his music is so underrated in my book. I still listen to him at least 3 or 4 times a week. And Heatmiser was great as well.
Bands I will miss:
Grandaddy
Sleater-Kinney
-
Root Boy Slim

The Dead Milkmen
They were always fun. One of my favorite concert moments was seeing them at the old club. I was getting crushed against the stage and decided I had had enough. I eventually managed to crawl up on the stage and move over to the side. I sat on the corner of the stage and watched the rest of the show from there.

*House Of Love (even though their last release was lame)
January
Hawkwind w/ Robert Calvert
Lyca Sleep
...and I know there's tons more.
*A friend of mine put on a reunited House Of Love show in London earlier in the year and I heard it was incredibly good. Too bad it was only a one-off kind of deal. :(
-
I actually didn't mind the last House of Love record. There were some really good songs on it like "Kit Carter"...unless you're thinking of the last studio LP they did before that (which I never even heard).

I kind of like it too but it's not up to the higher standards of their earlier releases and a lot of other people were let down with it. Guess you and I are in the same camp with that.
I'm still dying to hear if anyone saw Rob Dickenson when he played the State Theatre a month ago. Really wanted to go to that show but couldn't make it. Another dip in previous releases but I do still like some of his solo work. But I miss all of those shimmering guitars so much!
You could put Richard Ashcroft in that same category. Nothing like his former self but still has some enjoyable moments if you can let yourself move on.

i went, and it was excellent. i caught about half of bruce dickinson's cousin's set, and he sounded terrific; just him solo with a guitar. i recall that he played a little harmonica, too. closed with "crank" and played a few other catherine wheel songs, and i'm sure i missed a couple more. the church were also great that night, and dickinson joined them for a couple of songs. i've always felt the church were underrated, and they still make decent records and put on solid shows. marty wilson-piper definitely does not get the credit he deserves for his guitar playing.

I miss them too. I think I read somewhere that they're going to be starting the ship up again. I'll bet they're playing in DC within the next 1-2 years. That said, it won't be the classic line-up of William, Jim, Douglas and Bobby, which means it'll be less crucial.
After seeing We Jam Econo again, the Minutemen and D. Boon in particular come leaping to mind.
-
Elliott Smith. I was only into him for a year or so before his death, but during that year, I think I listened to some of his music close to every day. I've since moved out of that phase of exceedingly depressing music, but I still find it incredibly beautiful and moving and amazing. Ever time I listen to it, it never fails to blow my mind.

The Beta Band
Whatever happened to Steve Mason anyway? Last I heard, he was a couple days from starting a tour with his project King Biscuit Time (who put out an above average album a few months ago) and just vanished without a trace.
-
BOSTON! Those guys had to be one of the worst bands ever...
-
RATM, Portishead, Filter, Soundgarden
-
Portishead put 2 new tracks up on their myspace last week. They sound like they're probably demos but it's something. I think it's safe to say they're still around.

Boy, are you going to be embarrased when you realize that you posted this in the wrong thread. :D
And I agree with you, once you get it in the right thread. ;) Hated them!
-
whoever said the anniversary and at the drive in, high five. at the drive in especially. a lot of people forget about this band, because of the mars volta and sparta - neither of which comes close to the genius of ATDI, and both of which are highly overrated.
if at the drive in played a reunion show anywhere in the country, i'd be there. no matter what.

The dBs were reunited for some recording and shows last year, but nothing permanent seems to have come of it. Hopefully, some more long lasting will happen soon, as they produced some solid records in their heydey.

rage against the machine... saw them twice, craziest and most energetic shows i've ever been to. ever. i remember leaving one concert thinking i hadn't touched the ground for two hours straight.
From their Wikipedia page:
During RATM's performance at the 1994 edition of the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands, there were so many visitors jumping during their performance that the Dutch Meteorological Office measured an earthquake of 1 on the Richter magnitude scale.

Belly
They were kind of like a proto-Sleater-Kinney. Well, not exactly, I guess. But anyway, I liked them. Tanya Donnelly has released a few solo albums over the years since Belly's demise, but she doesn't seem to want to rock out the way Belly did. Her solo release last year, Whiskey Tango Ghosts, was really quite good though.

Keep your eyes peeled, while I don't think they'll ever reform and record new material (at least not while Todd is still pimping Burden Brothers), they're not above doing "reunion" shows if they're getting paid, they've done 2 in Texas this year.

Jawbox (just heard them on KEXP...they were great).

Winter Hours. Just found out a couple of days ago that singer Joseph Marques died three years ago. The only info on cause of death I could find said that he had a heart attack.
I saw them a few times at 930 F St. NW. One time, when Stanley Demeski was temping on drums, a friend of mine did the board. I went up to the booth to check out what he was doing just before the set and he said "Do the lights." Having had zero experience I protested but he showed me the little slider box anyway. So with 5 seconds of training I did the lights for a then-hot "college rock" band. Good times.

for some reason i've been missing blind melon a lot. Unified theory never did it for me. i think shannon could have made that band put out so many other good albums.
