FINALLY got the new Monte CD yesterday. Been listening to it at work today. It sounds pretty good. Doesn't seem to have quite the energy at his previous "Live at the Caravan of Dreams" CD, but that's probably because I'm listening to it on my rinky-dinky work computer. There are quite a few songs I love during his shows that I haven't been able to get on disc, like the alternate version of "1st and Repair," "Let's Go," and "Bringing Me Down." Good version of "Wishing Well" too. Has a few of his slow, boring, love songs on it, I could do without those. Monte should put out an album called "Depressing Love Songs that Losers Who Are Always Whining About Not Having A Girlfriend (Like DOF) Will Listen To," then put out more rockin' live albums for folks like me who are all about ROWYCO tunes. Also, the CD could have used a long version of "When Will I" to push it over the top. But all in all a pretty good effort, and I'm sure my opinion will improve when I listen to it with a bit more volume.
If anyone wants a copy, say something nice about me on my blog and buy me a beer and maybe I'll burn it for you.
Looking at seeing Monte on Dec 23rd at Antone's. This is his annual Christmas party, even though it's not actually on x-mas this year, which sucks.
Also gonna try to catch the Asylum Street Spankers at the Saxon on Dec 28th.
And, of course, the Scabs are at Antone's on the 30th! Ain't no party like a Scabs party!

Can I listen to it first and then decide if I want a copy?
Oh yeah....BROWNIE IS THE BOMB AT LONG DISTANCE RUNNING!
Brownie is a wanker!
I guess I don't want one.
Brownie is a loser..i refuse to suck up to you!
That's OK ladies, there are other things you can do for the free CD...
That reminds me...........Brownie, did you ever get that CD I got for you?
Yeah, it was good. Reminded me a bit of Tool. Requested them on 101X too.
They have a show on 12/22/05 at the Red Eyed Fly. I will buy you that beer I owe you if you make it.
BRAE: What band?
It is my friends band, 8 Systems. You will meet the bass player at the Hash X-Mas party. He is my date. But he is only my friend so any woman that wants to show him an extra good time should.
Hmmm. I like guys who can play the guitar....
Brae..is he cute...hook a sista up!
I play a mean skin flute, does that impress chicks?
Dude, you rock
Thanks for the copy...this CD is pretty damn good:)
Scabs at Antone's, guess we know where Raf should end the Darkside
Hey, Squawkin' came out to play!
Hey Assmunch,
Haven't listened to the entire CD yet, but so far I like "Wishing Well" and track 10.
