Pretty Bird = Pretty Good (rating, that is!)

I like it!

As long as I rarely hear any Eagles on RP, I'll be content.

I think the comments here are often quite good. If you want to read the corporate rags like Rolling Stone and Spin then be my guest. Those articles are just big puff pieces for the music industry. The criticism you read there is more like advertising. (There is always a large degree of promotion in even the very best music journalism and criticism, same goes for literary and art.)

Here at RP you get what people really think about songs. I think this is the only place in the world where you'll get anything like this. I think it is great. The discussions that take place here about music do not take place anywhere else - not with the openness and honesty such as we have here. Also, it is all inclusive here. Haters are welcome as well as the musicologists, and we have some good-uns here. It is also very lively and exhilarating. Jump into the fray!

Nice! I like birds in general; just not a big ravens fan. I prefer Hawks. Falcons, even. Sweet set of music, regardless

Good timing! I was just in the process of sending out an email about a snowy owl that is being seen in my area.

Love those humbuckers!

Well, I decided to reproduce here a comment I saw recently published, by the way, of band Jenny and Johnny - song "Committed" from Their album "I'm Having Fun Now", published in 2010, which reads:

" Why is not this on the radio?! Oh yeah, radio would melt from the awesome. Radio today is audio Nerf - synthetic and bland. "- Just in case.

The band consists of duet Jennifer Diane "Jenny" Lewis, 36 years old and Johnathan Rice, 29 years old. C uriosity: w hen Jenny Lewis participated in the movie The Wizard , was 13 years old.

Ok, that everybody is quiet, no, I'm not saying that this song "Committed" is a masterpiece, but in the face of horrible and low quality of new songs, new bands, and singers that have recently appeared there, I must say that the first time I heard the song it was interesting, well designed, and most importantly, well performed. Note that the final sound is done using as few 2 guitars and duet-voices (Jenny & Johnny) with battery backup.

Committed, committed
I need to be committed
I need to be locked away
I need a straighter jacket on my crooked frame
I need to be admitted today

Excited, excited
I need to get excited
and reconnect with nature, babe
I need to focus on the sunshine, focus on my goal
Truth in every grain of sand

I put my back into, put my back into my work
I will receive what I, will see what I deserve

Listen

You have to be patient
This new administration is doing the very best it can
But there's armies in the banks who tried all of the skanks
Attorneys for the Ku Klux Klan

For god and for country, for Michael Jackson's monkey
Just take another on the chin
I was a singer in a band, yeah, had sex in my van
and filling it with mexicans

Who put their back into, put their back into their work
They will see what they, they will receive all they deserve

It's a beautiful life
we lay sleeping
With my beautiful wife and me

We'll hold each other closer till the end of days
I made my decision
I will go back to prison
I will survive the end of my bed
The writing is in the hall, the markings on the wall
that say "dead man walking"
I put my back into, put my back into my work
I will receive what I, will see what I deserve

Make the commitment

What difference does it make if there are no songs rated "10"? What would one be? There are several of the tunes on the playlist which are rated over 9.0 which I could do without hearing for a long time. I generally don't care what other people like, but I do like this song and most of Jenny Lewis' material that I've heard.
I think it's the nature of the song comments to be self-centered, and often myopic - except mine, of course.

This is nice but Bird Song (Hunter, Garcia) would have been sublime after Joplin.

Nope. Can't get into it.

I quite like it.

Beautiful. Why don't more RP listeners like it?

nothing like a crunchy humbucker - except a crunchy hollow-body humbucker! go M. Ward!

The Weather Channel is now using an instrumental version of this during the Local on the 8's segment.

And, yet, I like this song in a way!

This is why I heisitat to comment here at Radio Paradise. For 1, there are no freaking songs rated 10. The best you all seem to muster is a muttering that 8.4 is the shit. That's for stuff like Stairway To Heaven (not to me, but to a bunch of ya), lol, and here in this new realease you gabber on about WTF. why should I comment? what does me rating a song mean when I walk into a comment section of a new song and see the self-centered, myopic, and vapid comments that are here? lol
