"falling off a barstool, cause man, you know that's lots of hard work" is one of my favorite Cracker lines.

"Circus" is a good FSK song!
Secret twin - everyone knows that "The Eyes Of Mary" is really a Lowery/Linkous Duo demo that sneaked onto Garage d'Or so it doesn't count ;-)

I know I met you somewhere in the 90's I remember your distinct favorite words Candyasses with a C :) Everyone has one song they don't care as much for but even the Polka drinking song (help me here can't remember name of it) isn't puke...lol

just cant quit being an instigator can you LOS?? i guess i'm getting used to your unusual way of showing affection these days, but really, why do you insist on bashing the band and then the fans when they defend the band?? its like some weird game of virtual catch-22. maybe we are too sensitive, but i know it is from a deep bond and respect for this band, hmmmmm respect, that would be unusual. nonetheless, hope you have a good holiday with a "C".

ernie & heather, i should have introduced myself at raleigh. i was so knocked out by the beautiful tats you both had, i guess i was distracted. i hope to see you at future shows.
there's a picture of heather on my facebook, standing with the usual suspects.
also, i should not have reacted in such a kneejerk way to LOS. i have agreed with that person many times in the past about other things. just for the record, cvb refuses to play my favorite song, "come on darkness" which i'm sure LOS would consider a bad idea.
it would be a great choice for a DL solo cd. bass players? so many good ones, past and present. willie dixon , pastorious , lesh, jack bruce, jack cassidy, brian eno, roger waters, charlie hayden, victor krausse, bootsy collins, duck dunn, the list goes on and on. sal is great and puts his heart into it. also one of the nicest people i've ever met. happy 4th everybody. don't blow your fingers off.

@ DJ Hickory: agree that Victor is an amazing bass player and a gentelmen. I also like ebery bass player the band ever had. Do you remember Bruce Hughs? He is a funky R&B bass player. Was in Cracker very early on. Frank is great. Who are we to even judge. We are here to listen. Right? @DJ Two: who do I have to know to change the color? :)
I also would love to wish a very happy 4th of July to all the Crumbs and Crackers. Be safe, have fun. Pease, Love, and Happiness!

Barring people from this site? Not on (opinions should flow freely here)- why not bring the bar to this site. I need a drink...too hot here. No sun, just heat...
Love the picture of Frank and the moose. Thankfully it's not a moose on the loose.
And speaking of bass players - everyone knows Victor played bass whilst in the womb and came into the world playing progressive jazz chords, so of course he's superior than any of his contemporaries. Don't know much about Bob Rube but Brandy can hold her own!
Paul Olguin? is great in the r&b field.

I really don't understand how any of this started. A Cracker fan, one who has demonstrated his loyalty to the band by going to innumerable shows near and far, thus putting out plenty of money to do so, gives his opinion - an off-the-cuff one at that - and the guy gets frigging persecuted. WTF! I love that song as much as anyone but give me a break. No one had any problem with him when he declared the recent Middle East show one of the five best Cracker shows he's ever seen.

I am in my corner, and all I can say is Brides of Neptune is a good song, great for that Motel 6 commercial I think its on, just not a good song to open a show with unless it was aucostical show.

Loved Brandy Wood, but face it, Sal, Victor or Bob Rupe were superior.


I would still see a docter for that condition, those of the hypersensitive types.

Oh yeah, and what I did was get about a dozen people I have never heard of before to post, not a bad thing.

Always room for more Candyasses, but with a "C"!!!!!!!!

People who make comments like," bar him from this site", are sick, I feel bad for you,but not really too bad though. Its just opinion, if you are that insecure about your opinions on music and see no other way someone else could see it differant, go see a shrink.

I think this is covered in states like Massachusetts and California.

I love Cracker music, always have, but should be able to speak my opinion and not be a robotic clone.

Hey, everyone you are all still Candyasses with a "C"!!!!!!!!!!

HBD Trout! Sorry I'm a little late.

Brides of Neptune rocks with the G4 Power book backing the JH and DL duo! Loved the song then and still love it now. Still waiting to hear Forever live! Heard Forever at sound check in Breckenridge march 2007 but it did not make the setlist that night so it doesn't count. Everytime I make the drive up to pitown on 62 the song gets stuck in my head, maybe this year they will play it.

is still guarded by monkeys.

Correction to my statement, cd came out in January of 02, but we had this double secret probation web site, known as "guarded by monkeys" with the entire cd as well as some unreleased stuff on it in 01.

I am not sure if Cracker Inc. made us take it down or not. Thet started playing most of these songs live in 01.

Who Can forget, Merry Xmas Emily, and Shine live on David Letterman and the Late Late show???

I remember the "Forever" tour very well. Every show started with B rides of Neptune, (puke, at least for a rock band) and Guarded by Monkeys WAS always in the set list somewhere. As was Aint that strange, One fine day, Shine, and suprisingly very little of the title song, Forever. I was at at least 10 shows during 01-02 after this cd was released. It was when I was released from prison. 'I didn't do it"


Everyone was also a Maximum Candyasss with a "C" in that time.

Brandy Wood was nice to have on bass to sing background vocals and also a little easier on the eyes than Sal, but musically it seemed she had limitations on the guitar.

Who the hell is Big Gay Tall Joe???????

Excited about the upcoming shows in Atlanta!
Was so bummed at the last Cracker (or was it Camper and Cracker?) show in ATL. Some drunk a*hole started a fight in front of the stage and then was yelling at Lowery. The show ended earlier than past shows, and assuming the yelling and fighting didn't help. It was embarassing representation from what is usually a great crowd. Hoping the next show at the EARL in a few weeks has a cooler crowd.
Looking forward to it!

SID was right, the board was quiet about the Doylestown Mooooooose!

Big Dipper live! Nuf said!

I thought it was an awesome show! Such good energy from the crowd! Truely Cracker is the best band in the world, and their Crumbs are the best fans! I never enjoy any other show as well as a Cracker show and its because Cracker+Crumbs=Awesome! And I don't need a mathematics degree or a rhyming dictionary!

A big THANKS shout out to the vwamishman and the whole amish posse for letting me hang up front with them. And another big THANKS to the almost moshing guys who knew every word to every song and were kind enough to let me in front row for the last songs and the encore!

One last time. In 1993 Cracker played Mud Island in Memphis to support "Kerosine Hat" album. I was there. Just trying to put a date with an event. It's for a blog. 1993. I know that one of you cool Crumbs, or David and Johnny know the date. Please let me know if you find out. The research on the web turned out blank. I even called the venue on Mud Island. Waiting for them to find out. It is only important to me, as I'm writing about that show. Thanks to everyone for trying to help. Your friend Vladimir "The Mad Russian" Noskov.

I agree with Pablo the NYC show was as good as I've seen. The new material plays great live, and the band has never been tighter. Beach bum Im out of Jersey, and spend my time on the Barnigate Bay. I launch from Island Beach State Park,an eight mile steatch of beautiful undevelopted barrier island. You would never believe your in New Jersey if you didn't know.

Google and Wiki don't know either.

Dancin Dan  [[ link ]] said ...
 
Mad Vlad, I don't know. But Vegas has 2:1 that Sir Morster knows, or can tell you soon. In fact, I bet he can tell you the 1st song on the 2nd side of the 3rd GD record... and what bootlegs have that song on it from '75-'85. Really... he knows everything! btw, I was the one working in the Security office when you had it out with our boss, Flores, at the Embassy Suites in St. Louis when you came to pick-up Bunny Wailer in like '89. fyi, me and my buddy knew you were cool... and Flores was crazy. Glad you're still rockin, Vlad.

JMB, THANKS for the call! I'm green(land) with envy. You rock!

BB, the only spanish I remember from a long time ago is "donde los hungos, por favor?" Gee, I really need to get that rosetta stone, and brush up... I would like to order more than "huevos rancheros," and say "el camino" with the proper inflection. Know what I mean, hombre?

Chili-i, that story is too funny. He said this to you in NYC? And he noticed you under that beard, from that long ago? Dude, that's crazy! And I hear your practicin' up on the dancin' to take my title? You better because I just got "D-Qwan's Dance Moves," on VHS at the Thrift Store, as seen on Napoleon Dynamite. "Sweet." Rock on!

Clair, yeah "down here, we don't care. we don't care what happens outside the screen door," when you've got Cracker and SITLOMAH. tybeegal, nice pic of Johnny's guitar leaning against a Fender amp.
Check out Johnny's bad ass guitars @ the link. Nice work, web folks!

Can one of you kind Crumbs or Crackers help me out with a trivia question, please? I was in Memphis in 1993 on Mud Island with David and Johnny and Cracker. The "Kerosine Hat" album was released August 24th, 1993. What day was the Memphis Mud Island support show? July? August? or September? I will be greatful if someone knows this. I was there. When was I there?

Good Afternoon Crackerheads,

The Moose was awsome. We had dinner across from the band and the food was very good. The Amish Posse' were joined by many jumping crumbs. I have just loved the vibe at each of the shows I have attended during this tour. The band once again showed how resilent they are by using opening bands sound system. Thanks again for your hard work and comittment. I hope everyone made it home safetly. Hey Earthgirl, the Posse' really enjoyed bouncing around with you. Peace- Steve

Yes, Chill-i, they were really good. They are from TX and considered to be 'cowpunk'. Whatever genre that is.
Check out a tune called 'Rollerskate Skinny', catchy it is. The frontman, Rhett Miller has a solo effort out right now.

Oh, and by the way, thanks to all that recommended the 'Old 97's' to me. That's where I was on Friday night, Rhett Miller is for sure a great front man. Loved the show, and going to buy some CD's.

Who is the friend Garrison would sing it with, though? Oh, I know, he has that bluegrass group with the leader he's known forever. Damnit, Ellie, what's his name?

It should be used on a Garrison Keilor Prarie Home Companion show. It is ideal for that. Good show and great band. vaughan j=Raleigh NC

Yes Hunter, I am proud of you and most certainly wish that I could have been right there by your side! I'm really excited that you and Ernie and Heather got to meet more of our super cool Crumb family. Do you think you might make it to Asheville or Isle of Palms? Or better yet, Pi Town? That would be awesome.

Thanks to Jan for the concert call! It sounded great!!!

I finally got to play back my voice messages from the past week - got some good concert calls, I did! I saw Jan, Just J, and Erin on my incoming call list, and I am pretty sure I got a Les Claypool call from FredRox. 3 of the 4 sounded good, which is actually a great success with my phone!

In taping news, the Troy, NYC, Doylestown and Syracuse gigs were recorded this past week or two. . . Dan "NYCTAPER" already posted his link here, the others should be on archive in the next couple weeks or so.

Pitown reminder - Sunday the 13th is Fi-Stock III in Loma Linda, Monday the 14th is MONKS OF DOOM in SF!!!

Hey Cliff. I'm sure you outbeachbummed the beachbum, since he was in the emountains/hills east of San diego. But I plan to catch up on the beach sunday.

thanks for the calls to everybody. Since I have only entered about 15 of my 1,700 contacts in my address book, I don't know everybody I got calls from.

But, i do know that I got drunk-dialed from morst last night. that was fun, except for the dropped calls. Oh, & the fact I was getting into the HOTTUB right when he called. I fell in & for sure figured I'd fach up my 5 day old phone. But NO, didn't damage it at all.

So, if there are 1,700 names, & I'm entering 3 per day, it looks like 566 days till I get them all in. Oh, except some of the 1,700 people are dead, so that helps.

Hi, all! Cracker played wonderfully, great set list (below), only regret was that the show was so short. It was great to see so many crumbs in one place, especially Trixie, Jeff, Hunter, Heather and Ernie, none of whom I had met before.

Lots of witty banter from DL (referring to the new album as their "acoustic folk" effort), piercing guitar work from JH (especially on "I See The Light," "Time Machine," and " "Sweet Thistle Pie"), spot on drumming and backing vocals from Frank and happy dancing and bass playing from Sal. Apologies to everyone I didn't have a chance to call.

The setlist:

Hey Bret (You Know What Time It Is)
Show Me How This Thing Works
Euro-Trash Girl
Happy Birthday to Me
I See The Light
Shake Some Action
Teen Angst
Time Machine
Turn on Tune in Drop Out
Sweet Thistle Pie
Low
Friends
Get Off This

well said cliff - no wonder indeed - that is a sweet setlist from a most memorable show - reads like a small novel - cant wait to hear nyctaper's digital renderings!!

but really, what was up with the Highline anyway?? seemed like a cool place for a show but wtf was going on up on the stage? the opening act guy was playing hotshot with Johnny's Lucky #7 guitar between bands and someone else stole Frank's drum notes right off the stage?? i would say a little security review would be in order.

Oh man, all this talk about people coming out for the Mpls show makes me think that I might need to do a mini-Erinstock party at my place the night before. My place is nothing like her's and Tim's, but I do have a deck and a firepit... I will have to ponder this...

Great show last night danced all night and Im feeling it today. Sorry I missed Kday, Erin, and Chilli ( I was stage right), but I met some fine crumbs. I have to say the band kept up the heat all night. Work today has been hell, but what the hell. Nice Verve remix of the Jackson 5 in tribute after the show. Hope to see ya'll furtther down the line.

All righty then..who is going to the Raleigh show and how can I tell who you are? I have not decided what I will be wearing yet so I can't say. But I am in the picture with Rockin' Robin at the KDH show. (on this site, photos section)
Also, I will be with Ernie and Heather, if yall know them.
Is this how you do this?
Looking forward to meeting people!

oh ya, the other night after a LONG labrador dali recording session, we were watching Lems tape of it, and lo-and-behold video evidence of El Phantom Drummer does exist! just for a second or two, but its HIGHlarious, hope we can get that up on the tube soon

Oops! Sorry kday, I forgot which one you were. I met a bunch of new people that night and am having a hard time keeping you all straight. I suck with names, so that doesn't help either. Well, enjoy the weekend everyone. I have to get back to working on my Arc. Hopefully, we'll see that fiery red ball in the sky at some point here. I think they call it a sun or something like that.

bb think you got a call from me too - 1eyed Malibu you're tempting me - must work - must wait for Campout, feeling weak, must see Cracker more, can't miss show, must save for september, must hear Sunrise live and dance like a black helicopter in the windy east mojave........

and darlin' you're outta time dont be silly.

One-eyed Malibu said ...
 
Hey Brad, great to see you chiming in on Soundoff, welcome aboard. You can work on getting me to go out to MN when we hang out next week at The Church show. It's awfully tempting - and the airfare only a little more than to Santa Ana the following month - but it seems too much of an undertaking for just one show. Chill-i and/or kday coming out would certainly help the cause, too. We'll see.

Heading out tonight to see Buffalo Tom at the Paradise here in Boston. Lead singer Bill Janovitz is a big fan of covers and I'm wondering if he'll add a Jackson 5 cover to the set.

Sounds like it was a blast in NYC, last night. Wish I had gone but a little too far away for me.

Brad.E said ...
 
kday, what town do you live in? Just curious, because I'm finding airfare for $180 roundtrip from Boston to Minnesota for that Aug.15 time period. Needless to say, I'm booking it soon! Found it on Expedia.com.

Hey, just wanted to say thanks to Mark for bringing me to my first Cracker show in Cambridge last weekend! It was nice to meet Erin, Chili, and of course, Rosemary, aka: Miss Buffalo. As with any cracker, you can't just eat one; so I'm going to see them again. I'm going to the Minneapolis show in August and was just wondering if anyone else was going to go to that one. I grew up in Minnesota and and spent the first 27 yrs of my life there and the last 10 yrs here in Boston. For those of you scoring at home, that makes me 37. Anyway, since the show is on my old stomping ground I thought I'd throw out an invite to anyone who wants to meet up before the show. I know some good bars in that area, but the best one is Gluek's. The largest beers you have ever seen! And it's only 2 blocks from the show, which is at the First Ave Bar, which is formerly owned by Prince. You see, you are already learning something about MN! It's a beautiful state (in the summer- ha-ha!). I also know a good hotel nearby that is not too spendy (which is probably where I will be staying that night), so let me know if you want any info on that too. Well, that it's for now. You can reach me here or on my cell at 781-864-6026. Thanks!

you got it KDay - what a fun and fantastic show lasting at the Highline Ballroom!! wish i had a setlist to post but was too busy dancing - had a nice spot with lots of room stage right - i didnt stop moving all night - the guys played superbly, really rocked the room - and after taking the stage and announcing the van broke down so they had to grab some stuff and leave it somewhere in PA???? Frank played the house kit, and i may have noticed some anxiety melting away as they barreled through the Hey Bret opener followed by a nice bunch of new goodies. By the third or fourth song - forgitabowdit!!! the songs are so good, the playing outrageous, Sal freakin' kills on the bass, wish we got to hear Frank sing but he rocked steady as usual, Kenny is such a treat, like frosting on the cake, and what can you say about Johnny and David, sheeyat yeah!!! sorry we dint get to hangout after the show, we had to run back to ct, got home at 3:33 - sweeeetness!!

great fun hanging with tim and erin, jim and sandy, of course kday, too bad we didnt hook up Cliff, looked like there were a bunch of big rugby player guys in the crowd, we asked a couple but couldnt find you, hope we will meet up at another show. and a funny side story - standing outside with jim and KDay and the big shaved head bouncer points at me and says - "you are the guy that broke up a fight i was in 20 years ago - i was about 14 and some kid kicked a soccer ball in my face so i started kicking his ass and you stepped in to break up the fight." ha!! it took a while to peer through the fog of memory, but i think he was right, a few years off, wasnt quite that long ago but what a hoot!! crackersoul is peace and love, peace and love-(:>}=

Hey beachbum

That seems to happen to me on a lot of boards. Because I don't post much and they all seem to be close-knit communities I have an uncanny ability to end lots of threads. People are people I guess but thanks for the comment.

I may post the video of "Get of This" on youtube next week and share my photos if there is any interest. As for Toronto it's still quite clean and a pretty safe city for its size. It's the first time I'd been downtown for years and it was just a great experience all round.

If anyone still doesn't have the new CD I suggest you follow the link in the news section and order from Newbury Comics. Great price, fast service and autographed by David and Johnny.

I must say that Wednesday's show in Toronto was awesome. Was looking forward to this show for a VERY long time. The band sounded better than ever....They rocked the house. That could possibly be the highlight of my summer. Awesome job guys, really enjoyed Happy Birthday(good job Frank) and I See The Light. Didn't seem to want to play Sweet Magdelena of My Misfortune........oh well next time

Hi kids-how are y'all? I am not believing that several memories of my young life have just gone away today. I remember all the girls having the Farrah cuts. I remember asking my mom if the Jackson 5 (when Michael was black) was made to be the Osmond's negative. Hey, I was a dumb kid raised in a rascist household and escaped all the hate and form my own opinions based on actions alone. Hey Doug, going to Louisville or Cleveland in August??? If so, can a sister bum a ride???

Tonights the night in NYC and I couldn
t be more psyched. Kday Im not sure what time I will be in the city, since I have to work and I got me a dog who needs his walk before I take off from Jersey. If I get in early I'll give you a call . If not Im pretty easy to spot, I'll be wearing a Smuggles Notch T-shirt Im 6' 3" 270 lbs. and look like an old rugby player(which I am). Looking forward to seeing all you crumbs tonight.
