I'm maintaining my position on WOAD
I will wait until the release date.
I am tempted to go to NPR on Monday.
I must maintain radio silence.
I want to buy it, bring it back to the
Fantasy Fufillment Palace, crank it so
the next door hairdresser babes will
get juiced to come in.
They can listen if they want to.
There's a method to this, you know....

I don't want to get too political here on this music thread. Just know that I will try to be positive that day; positively angry! LOL Just kidding. I will avoid teh news that day & just work my ass off for the upcoming higher taxes. Oh, and I'm dropping HBO. Their current shows suck & I really need Showtime.

Unfortunately I will be up at the SCL "Winter" palace this weekend. Where due to tough economic times I will be without HBO or internet access. But I'm sure it won't be too tough to find this on the net come Mon. Plus I am going to see Dave Mason at a great little venue in Lake Tahoe Sat. night....And I hear he's been doing a lot of Traffic stuff. You rock!

Credited to the E-Street Band, which is unusual.

Might this album then be a vehicle to send a large payday the way of the rest of the E-Streeters, who have toiled in the Boss' shadow for so many years, including one summary dismissal? As you say, it's somewhat unusual considering the Hits package of 95 and the Essential, and the incongruity of a Wal Mart deal with Bruce's POV on the music industry. Only 12 cuts is also strange for a "hits" package.

Exactly what I was thinking. Spread the wealth!

That pretty much explains it. I for one would welcome shiny new deluxe versions of the early albums, especially the first two with a few choice Steel Mill and Bruce Springsteen Band bonus tracks. Never heard that stuff.

Good piece, thanks for posting ... Between the three tracks he's released in full and the samples that just went up on the official website, my hunch is that Bruce is going to be brought to earth a bit, at least among critics. (The broad promotional push, and Bruce's reputation, virtually guarantee a No. 1 debut.) He seems intent lately on recapturing those big, Spectorian pop hooks of the '60s, but he just doesn't have the chops anymore to pull it off — and he was never been that great a melodist to begin with ...

I vowed radio silence to wait until the 27th to hear the whole lp.
I must admit (SOL reference) I played only 10 seconds of Pete.
Mel, we have a winner.
Where's KD Lang when you need her?
Gene Simmons could use this on his reality show!

To bad I don't have sirus, but I can't listen to it at work anyway!!
From Backstreets.com:

COMING TO E STREET RADIO: DJ BRUCE!
Over on E Street Radio (SIRIUS channel 10, XM channel 58), they've had dozens of interesting guest DJs -- every Monday afternoon, listeners have been able to catch a "celebrity fan" (like Mojo Nixon or Steve Earle) or even an E Street Band member (Clarence, Steve, Max, Nils), spinning their favorite Springsteen tunes. Now, they've landed the big one. Bruce himself will play guest DJ, in a two-part edition, this Monday, January 19, and next Monday, January 26 -- playing not his own music, but some of his favorite songs.

According to today's press release, "Bruce Springsteen sat down with Dave Marsh, SIRIUS XM host and music journalist, to play music hand-picked by Bruce from his personal record collection. Bruce will share how he discovered each song and what he likes about the music in his commentary. SIRIUS XM listeners will hear Bruce playing a variety of music ranging from folk songs to contemporary music including hip hop and progressive rock."

It's ok Meg, really. Bruce will be fine. He will probably
play some concerts with Kiss, where they can trade licks.
He will be back in the New York Groove!

Must be a coincidence. As our Keith says, "there's only one song."
