  I understand.I'm only telling you what i heard from them on that night.maybe they were experimenting.if so,the experinment failed miserably.I've heard alot of their music,and was anticipating their show..Why do you think i was so surprised.

ok, I can't imagine them doing that and I can see why it would have failed if they did, I wonder if they were trying to be more like BJM for the night or something

There's where the disagreement lies.i consider that to be alt country.Granted not my genre of expertise,so apologies to all diehard alt country fans.i promise not to verbally dabble in such unknown waters again.But I gotta tell ya Rhett,you'd have loved em.And Jadetree,be glad you missed that show,you may have never touched a DM album again.

What would make the Pernice Brothers alt-country? Sounds like indie pop-rock to me.

I gotta say I too am a little perplexed by the inclusion of "Dead Meadow" and "alt-country" in the same sentence.  I mean, we all know that Dead Meadow is the sound of warm, runny honey...soft dewy grass...vibrant crackling bonfires....dark rumbling thunder.
 
 Then again, I wasn't at that particular show.

I agree completely.  And if Pernice Bros. is alt-country, then the Bigger Lovers song I'm listening to right now is alt-country as well.
 
 I think NOT!

I'm not that familiar with Pernice Bros work,but wasn't Joe in scud mountain boys?They would have had to have changed their sound alot from that to not be considered alt country.That's the trouble with labeling things,it can go different ways depending on one's own definition and knowledge for their whole body of work.And granted,my  opinion comes from his previous work.So,I could be totally out of line here.Has his sound changed drastically?

i wish somebody else would have been.I'm beginning to doubt my own credibility on this one,and i was sober  :eek:  GGW,did you get the Black album
 i left for you?

aren't some current alt-country artists influcenced by  60's country rock artists like the byrds, gram parsons, and neil young.  some of whom are the roots of power pop.  which is why some power pop have a countryish feel in the harmonies particularily.

No.  Which one of those deadbeats did you entrust it with?

Joe Pernice has changed his sound quite a bit from Scud Mtn Boys to Pernice Brothers.
 
 Yes, the Scuds cound be considered alt-country, minus the twanginess. They were New Englanders, after all.

Yes.i'd agree.Like I said previously,i'm certainly no authority on the genre,but that's what comes to mind when I relive the sound of DM on that fateful night.Maybe i need to go back to the Ryan Adams  Institute of Musical Knowledge   and take a few refresher courses.

Check with Jag as well,i left 4 mixes with her to distribute.She said she would dupe some copies for you guys.

I can see the connection between power pop and alt-country. Probably explains why someone as narrow minded as me could like both.

Good question.
 
 I don't see any good shows this week.  But definitely next week.  Grandaddy & Super Furry or Built to Spill.  Will you be at those?
 
 Have you listened to the disc?
 
 BTW -- thanks for the discs you gave me.  Lots of good stuff.  I'll make you a copy of some Dischord stuff as a thank you.
