SPIKE - absolutely LOVE your music - your impeccable nuance and tasty homages in your work are unreal! I've been ranting on my FB page about your work the last few nights.<br /><br />Am I insane - or is that acoustic version I had something that was an outtake which ward was kind enough to pass on to me? Perhaps SPIKE you would know as you must know him better than most anybody.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Dusty DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388908256992077315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-42614838568741115142009-01-25T11:43:00.000-05:002009-01-25T11:43:00.000-05:00The mp3 files on this post are now listen-only (no...The mp3 files on this post are now listen-only (non-downloadable) files. They're now being hosted on my Vox account-- which is accessible through any of the above listen-only links-- along with three additional songs which weren't included in the original post: "Old And In The Way", "Don't Have To Die", and "Can't Get Out Of Bed".<BR/><BR/>For those of you who missed the boat, I will do my best to respond to any e-mailed requests for the original files. Just don't ask for all nine of them, since sending more than 3 or 4 files as attachments gets to be a bit of a chore.Brushbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439601217855895036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-2518278241900904222009-01-25T11:40:00.000-05:002009-01-25T11:40:00.000-05:00Hey, Spike!

I also have covered "Can't Put Your Arm Around a Memory" alot live ( for decades-usually as a medley with "Eve of Destruction" which is pretty much the same song). <BR/><BR/>Ward and Westerberg were definitely buddies at one point, I remember Ward telling me how impressed he as at how hard Westerberg worked at songwriting (up early at the piano after a hard night of partying).<BR/><BR/>Ward told me the Pontiac Brothers started out as an all Stones cover band called The Gall Stones, not sure if they ever actually played out as that, but it gives you an idea of where they were coming from musically-<BR/><BR/>Spike PriggenSpike Priggenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344192447114670670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-17473343021190146512008-11-27T12:53:00.000-05:002008-11-27T12:53:00.000-05:00Yeah, "Be Married Song" is definitely sounds more ...Yeah, "Be Married Song" is definitely sounds more like a Thunders song ("You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory"), now that you've pointed it out.<BR/><BR/>Not to say that Westerberg wasn't influenced by Thunders, either, but that's one of the things that annoys me about the Pontiac Brothers/Replacements comparison; The Replacements were coming more from an early hardcore/punk background, while the Pontiac Brothers had their own thing going with a different set of influences.Brushbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439601217855895036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-60095654454568511002008-11-27T06:31:00.000-05:002008-11-27T06:31:00.000-05:00Pretty damn good.

"Be Married Song" is almost beautiful, and reminds me more of Johnny Thunders - without the cliches - than Paul Wersterberg. Nice post.
