Re: the "Aquarium" thread -- I popped the CD in over the weekend, listened carefully, and understood him to sing "All you get is afraid", not "a friend". Considering the context, it makes more sense to me. Did anyone go to CMJ? If so, did Robyn in fact play at Maxwells? Slithering minds want to know...

Robyn played The Aquarium at that show. I don't have the tape myself; and I listened to it in a friend's car over a year ago. But I do remember hearing him sing "a frame" on that one. Proof by yes it is, told you so... Sieben p.s. "Aquarium Thread" could make a great song title.

Almost everyhing (even the stuff which is supposed to be from an existing album) is in a new-or-different version. Which I have to say I think is a pity. It's fine for us - we've got it all anyway - but I don't feel it makes a very good "this was the Soft Boys: were'nt they spiffy" disk, which I think the world still needs, IMHO. I think it's "a friend", myself.

I can't find them at cs.uwp.edu. there is a very rough (and somewhat outdated) soft boys discography on cs.uwp.edu in (i hope) pub/artists/s/soft.boys. i typed that in one night a few years ago using the discography from the (at the time) fan club as a source. it was just before/as the soft boys cds were being released so i don't recall if they were included or not. i really should update/reorganize that someday. >Did anyone go to CMJ?
