The day before yesterday, I was playing a certain greatest hits CD, when I heard a guitar chord that was … wait — Is that the RTH front page townsman-holding-the-stratocaster sound?! A quick comparison revealed it to be the very same sample. Awesome!! I will not spoil the surprise for anyone who has yet to make the connection. I will only say that if you want to be picky, the townsman is holding the wrong guitar!
Just wondering, Mr. Mod, if you ever did ge to see “Do It Again”. If not, that’s OK, have a Merry Chrimble & A Gear New Year to you & everyone else here.
One of my favorite gift shops in SF always has some good cds and dvds to browse. I’ve had great luck there finding impromptu imported music or European films. I picked up “Generation Django” for Mr. Royale…and then found something I didn’t even know existed: “a-ha The Singles 1984-2004.” Not only does this record have the few hits I knew but those Norwegian boy toys kept creating other music, which my source affirmed me was actually good. My brother will get this gift, like it or not.
Maybe they’re like a weird version of Deadheads. From a Transsiberian show, they go to John Tesh at Red Rocks, then Yanni at the Acropolis or whatever.

By the way, does that guy have a name?
He’s only known as “Townsman.”

Pretty fair-balanced comments on music in movies from a guy who sometimes bugs the hell out of me.
Townsman Mr. Clean and his band, Dead Milkmen, will be broadcasting live from WXPN at noon EST:
