TrentonMakes Posted September 13, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2016 @Ralph T. Mooseknuckle - based on recent experience, I'm going to guess that our opinions on this song differ. I am curious - what say ye, yea or nay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted September 13, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 13, 2016 As of :42, nay. Dawes is hot and cold with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I didn't expect you'd have to listen - whether I listen to XPN or The Current I probably hear it once a day. I figured you'd already be familiar.

I figured you'd already be familiar. OK, this is embarrassing. I did just hear it on xpn at 4:52. But I didn't really recognize it. Bruce Warren said xpn loves Dawes, and I due only once in a while. I once complained to Bruce aboot xpn playing shallow cuts (remember that Johnny A song from a few years ago?). He didn't like that. I shall now attempt to see if I can dredge up a Dawes post I might have made in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it then as well - that's what made me think of it. I thought you might be a Dawes fan. That has long been my complaint about XPN, taking one song from an album and beating the hell out of it. I've been listening to The Current (Minneapolis, radio home of XPN alum Jim McGuinn) long enough now to experience the same thing. The harmonies in Dawes "When My Time Comes" were a knockout - then that "Little Bit Of Everything" was OK. This I find bland and incredibly boring - it's a quick channel change now.

Yup - I remember having been very impressed by some of their earlier stuff - great harmonies like you say. Sadly, I couldn't find any old Dawes posts from me. Sometimes I might just post a video with no searchable text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted September 13, 2016 Share #9 Posted September 13, 2016 In other NPR news, I recently realised that WFUV is rebroadcast on WNYE at 91.5, but the native signal is on 90.7, which is much clearer for me in Central and North Jersey. PLUS, it has the radio data which shows you the song and artist, which I was miffed was never on 91.5. But best of all, 91.5 has talk in the afternoon, but 90.7 has music.

I didn't know that. 91.5 used to broadcast KEXPs (Seattle) signal in the mornings, and those were good times. I also liked WFUV (including Alisa Ali) but I thought it was gone. I will have to give 90.7 a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go. http://www.wfuv.org/content/farewell-alternate-side So what do you think of Kristen Kurtis? She is not much of a talker. I can list from 5 to 6 AM with her really only talking around 6 AM and maybe a touch at 5:30. Not complaining aboot more music though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted December 10, 2018 Share #12 Posted December 10, 2018 Wow - over two years, and I still thought of this thread when I heard this Dawes song on the way home tonight. I like the guitar in this, @TrentonMakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share #13 Posted December 11, 2018 Yeah, the guitar sounds pretty good but overall I'm still underwhelmed by this band, aside from that one song. I kind of feel the same way about Kurt Vile - I love "Wakin On A Pretty Day" but I haven't heard anything else of his that I'd like to hear again. That "Pretty Pimpin" song is like nails on a chalkboard to me (something tells me you have expressed an affinity for the song so I say this at the risk of offending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Kurt's stuff in general, and I really liked the KEXP Youtube of him. I liked his stuff with Courtney Barnett too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
