Tim's guitar playing is unique and abstract - never heard anything like his jammish lead work. I love the smooth groove the band gets into. 1st time I experienced 'fone I though Tim looked so much like John Lennon.

Thanks, McT. Califone is amazing live!

<just sharing> My favorite Califone release is 'Roomsound'. What's yours?

[TryLSDnow]

Anyone know the song title? Too lazy to go through my six Califone CDs.

QS/CS is one of those CDs where the 1st time i heard it, i wanted to send it back! then it grows with each listen. Impressive really...

Yeah, loftus was great, like a junk yard learned how to play instruments. Really spare - you could hear the parts all clunk around as Tim moaned around cooly over top. The CD had a picture on it that was made out of real sandpaper.

Ha ! Leon Spinx did move to Addison. Drank with him at Fuzzy Navel / Gundersons.

like that one and heron king blues, just sounds really wholesome.

Wow, good job for a held held. Thanks for uploading this. You're right that the guitar parts are very unusual and creative - not to mention the rest of the band.
