I've been bored at my new job recently and have been on the internet all day long!! So I was over at nancies, and decided to mess with some of the people. First I posted a thread saying "What's dave matthews first name?" I wanted to see if someone would actually say "dave" or "david" if they would be just that ignorant enough to respond. Well that got locked and a few mintues later i posted a second thread "Well what's his last name then?" That got locked, and then I got my ability to create a thread locked in my name. Ah well it took up 15 minutes of time at work, so it was worth it!  |

I just went over to nancies, don't know why I do that to myself because I can never stand it for more than a minute or two. I laughed because there was one thread about an article in a Cleveland Newspaper about DMB and their fanbase and I read it and all I could think of was, my thoughts exactly! I listen (and love) DMB music and consider it "oldies but goodies". Nothing they have done in the last few years has done much for me.
Guess I am not a good DMB fan. Oh well.
On the upside I GOT TICKETS TO SEE RADIOHEAD!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO |

I just checked out that article at nancies. I read it, and basically i agreed with most of it. Dave hasn't totally sold out, he's still got some talent in him, but it's gone away ever since that dreaded everyday. To me that was his move to become more commerical and less creative...
I still will buy his new solo cd, and any other cds they release(not boyd's album tho), but it's just not the same.. A superband, but they could be doing much better |

I'm so jealous that you have Radiohead tickets! I'm going to want to know how the concert was.
And Vicwootenfan I agree. I won't buy Boyd's album, but definitely get his new CD. Maybe his new solo CD will help take him back to what he was. |

| Before These Crowded Streets is their best album in my opinion. And we at least know he's got Tim on the new album! That's a damn fine place to start the guest list. |

| The biggest mistake in the transition from Lilywhite Sessions to Busted Stuff, was how Dave rewrote "Captain". On Lilywhite, it was these crazy dark well written depressing song, but on BS it seemed like he took the easy way out and made it a cheesy love song. "Crazy" is still my favorite version though. |

| Well, at least they correctly added all of Tim's songs to the setlists for the recent Tim and Dave tour. If they hadn't I'd be a little miffed since I'm sure a few of us here (including myself) submitted the list of Tim tunes that was posted on here sometime near the end of the tour. I'm suprised they even added footnotes for teases and partial covers Tim did. |

Arthen, you know what my favorite DMB song on These Crowded Steets is? Halloween! I love the sounds in that song! Second fav. The Stone!
I just think Dave got into a bit of mass production with Everyday. I don't think it is complete crap, but it isn't progressive. I think that is part of the problem with signing with record labels, they expect you to produce records in a timely fashion. For real artists it doesn't always work out that way. When you write songs because the inspiration is there its great, when you write because of pressure to produce and sell records, something definitely gets lost in the process. |

| They also want everything on the album to sound exactly like whatever songs made you big. That way they KNOW it will be a hit. Those guys totally stifle creativity. |

Halloween is one of my fav. dave matthews tunes, but my all time favorite version of the song is that live version on the "recently" disc. The drum solo at the end, the freaky sounding violin and sax solos, wow!!! But it's one of the songs that got my hooked on dmb, especially that drum solo.

Favorite song off of BTCS for me is a tie between Pig and The Dreaming Tree. But I like Spoon and Halloween a lot too...Ach, I really can't decide, I enjoy the entire album so much. So many well written beautiful songs.
And about the time issue for writing songs, I think someone put together all these pieces of information and figured out that Dave had been working on "Stay Or Leave" for 2-4 years.

| Arthen, you know what was really weird? Right after you posted the other day about BTCS I had to go on an errand. I knew I had a DMB cd in my car player, the one that I had been playing over and over for a week or more, I popped it out to take a look at which one it was and sure enough it was BTCS! I have so many DMB cds and I usually don't think much about which one is which. I just thought it was funny you should mention about a cd I had been listening to a lot lately, especially since it's an older one. |
