Ryan Adams Owes Money All Over Town

ryanadams.gifIt’s lazy, it’s arrogant, it’s overused; it’s posting an instant message conversation. This particular IM-post, however, tells all about last night’s Ryan Adams concert at the Kool Haus. Read:
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
you didn’t miss anything
jjjjosh says:
jeez
jjjjosh says:
i felt bad not going
jjjjosh says:
what happened?
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
he looked great
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
his hair was long and he had a beard…i doubt he had looked in a mirror since parker left
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
he played drums for the opening band
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
which was sick
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
he drank wine and smoked like a hundred cigarettes
jjjjosh says:
so what were the pitfalls?


Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
the first set was mostly cold roses…and he played alot of my new favorites (that is a good record by the way)
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
then the second set, which we assumed would be his classics…was full of unrealeased country wanking….and heartbreaker songs played to slow
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
sweet illusions is amazing though
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
honestly the second set showed a complete disregard for the audience
jjjjosh says:
really? how so?
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
there are too many good songs on the album…its getting good reviews even from pitchfork…which i think it deserves
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
cherry lane, let it ride, meadowlake street, sweet illusions, dance all night
jjjjosh says:
i just wouldn’t label it a classic just yet. i’ve only spun it once though.
jjjjosh says:
i’m cautious with that guy, as you know.
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
no not a classic
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
he will never make one…he doesn’t have any quality control
cold-roses.gifjjjjosh says:
there are few good tracks. first disc might be better than the second.
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
its good for him…which is good enough for me
jjjjosh says:
listening party perhaps this weekend.
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
i like the record…its more about the feel than the tunes
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
which i like…and some of the lyrics are great
jjjjosh says:
good analysis. me too. but i even thought demolition was great, despite a few glaring oversights
jjjjosh says:
it’s only 15$ too.
jjjjosh says:
the new album that is.
jjjjosh says:
got a cool case and cover art
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
yeah…people said he looked like you last night
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
he looked like he’d being living in the forest for like a month
jjjjosh says:
well he did grow the beard after my infamous facial growth experiment.
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
true
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
i was worried someone was going to yell parker to taunt him
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
no one did
Ryan Adams owes me 40 bucks says:
hey listen to the end of meadowlake street man…the drums are impeccable
jjjjosh says:
i’m wearing a bandana around my head as my next fashion adventure.
