Your passion has caused me to reassess/rediscover db's. I've had a few of theirs for decades but - similar to how you described Game Theory / Loud Family - always found them a little too experimental/jagged. The one I've most enjoyed over the years is Mavericks, but that's probably more a function of the sound/production... I don't know. Whatever the reason, I'm going to spend the necessary time absorbing the dh's. After all, I've always said the reason I buy and "consume" so much music is because of the fear that something exists that I'm not aware of that I'll absolutely love... the pursuit of this results in that fire. Also, strangely I've always thought GT/LF and db's sound more like each other than either sounds like Big Star (which I've thought Teenage Fanclub and Posies sound like). One more thing... I (embarrassingly) had no idea about the Mitch Easter connection!omysoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009331972270304698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396438499693365022.post-42130285872858892992014-09-25T11:25:19.083-04:002014-09-25T11:25:19.083-04:00Welcome aboard, O.

I had no idea ...Thank you for this wonderful site! I had no idea this recording existed. I actually attended this as a 23 yr old. A few years earlier, I saw Box Tops perform 4 shows in 2 nights at Arizona Charlies, a hole in the wall casino in LV. A highlight - I went to the casino during the day, hoping to catch a Chilton glimpse. First, I watched him do to a soundcheck. Then, he sat down by himself and had a drink. I approached him and asked if I could take a seat. He suspiciously obliged. Once he realized my sincerity, he opened up, and we chatted about songwriting for 15 minutes. Anyway, I'm now 42 yr old, and I've passed along my love of all things Big Star (and Beatles to chase the lineage) to my 8 yr old son (middle name the initial "B"). omysoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009331972270304698noreply@blogger.com
