		Michael is one of the most amazing and comprehensive artists of this time, while ironically being misunderstood, and not heard, because of the "Monkee" image type-casting.
		Michael is able to tap into something using higher powers, and because of that energy is harvested into his music that is powerful, prophetic, and can be used as mediums for truth by others.
		Michael practically obsesses over this fact that music can be downloaded, and that if people do it for free their karma is going to be scared for life.

		NESMITH: No, I think the answer lies deep, buried in the word "reciprocity." What you want is a creation of a way for you to give to me and me to give to you.
		NESMITH: If you boil it down — but be careful of that again, because barter carries the baggage of history with it, and it means I'll give you a chicken for those bricks — and that's not exactly what reciprocity means...
		NESMITH: A large area of thought goes to self-determination and self-will, and what's doing the pushing, and who is this person you're talking about that would say, "No," to something.

		This 18-track compilation was a follow-up to the similarly titled Newer Stuff, highlighting Michael Nesmith's post-1974 sides as well as featuring some previously unissued material.
		Older Stuff (1991) includes a healthy sampling of tracks from the half-dozen long-players Nesmith issued prior to 1974 as the respective leader of both the First and the Second National Band and then later as a solo artist.
		Nesmith's penchant for penning quirky country & western-flavored pop songs can be directly traced back to his more prominent Monkees contributions.

	Michael Nesmith - Rays download
		Nesmith may believe he’s transporting me to a place where the air is fresh and I can appreciate the light within and without but … I can’t breathe.
		Nesmith sees Rays as a kind of emergence, something that was already there in various bits and pieces (or, his term, “detritus”) only to become visible, and cohesive, as he continued his work on the project over a period of years.
		But knowing how in-tune, and bright, Michael Nesmith is, and how creative, and thinking about how girls probably used to shout “MIKE” as he made his way to his next class in his cool French-cut shirt and beanie, I’m afraid that Jorel is probably watching Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera” as we speak.

	San Diego Serenade: Hey Hey, It's Michael Nesmith!!
		This Wired interview with Michael Nesmith (the one with the hat) popped up in my Gmail news feeds today, and is very interesting.
		Nesmith is famously the Monkee who objected the most to the role the band was forced into by the nameless, faceless executives of either television or the music biz.
		Videos of the band interacting with Johnny Cash and Frank Zappa as well as projects such as the Monkees bizarre psychedelic movie Head, wherein the band plays one scene as flakes of dandruffs in someones head, also serve to show the promise the group truly had that for the most part, remained unseized.

		Nesmith original compositions (+ 2 like covers), the debut recording by The First National Band is a sleeper and a keeper.
		These breaks are an interesting addition to the Nesmith canon, as well as helping to "artiste" and "summer of love" up the southern rock feel that permeates through the majority of the record.
		Nesmith pulls a Dylan and reworks all his classic uptempo country-rockin' tunes into slothful, half-speed Clapton-style blues rock.
