That's what I found, FWIW. I thought the remake of "Madonna" was nice, but overall the cost (just at regular import price) didn't justify the new tracks...especially if you've stayed reasonably in touch with the live recordings and have already heard "Briggs" about a billion times ;) The studio version of "Funkytown" is sweet, however.

It should be noted that those tracks (if I'm remembering right) were also available on a ltd-ed second disc that came with the first copies of Spooked. I'm wondering if Yep Roc will do something similar? Otherwise, we'll have to pool our resources to collectively come up with the extra $20 or whatever so someone can buy the Japanese import and fileshare the extra track among the rest of us. (Actually, I thought someone here had a site with rare tracks - is that still up? I think I'd downloaded all of them anyway - but certainly that would be a good resource.) - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 09:31:27 -0700 From: "Spotted Eagle Ray" Subject: Re: caveat emptor On 8/3/06, Michael Wells wrote: > > > Hey, just found out the Red Hot Chili Peppers are at Lollapalooza!

They must have left a line off my copy of Highway61 Revisted, because I've played it 1000 times but I had NO idea you were referencing Bob Dylan. That... that changes evyerthing! No, I'll be serious. What is that song about? Hmm... Naked men... the geek 'hands you a bone"... sword swallower kneels and he's wearing high heels... Mr. Jones is pbviously a straight guy who wanders into a gay orgy. Oh right, and a one-eyed midget. ONE EYED midget, dude! I think that was what tipped us off. Theres other ways to look at the song, and that's cool, but I really thought you were coming from the gay orgy angle. My apologies. Please somebody say me and my friends weren't the onlyones that ver came up with this. Cuz if you don't count sex organs the world just doesn't have many one eyed midgets in it. The only thing I used to wonder was if the guy singing the song was somebody at the party or if it was actually Mr Jones's own wang singing to him, like, hey man, loosen up and get into it, you know you want to. I guess that one means Jonesy isn't straight, just represssed. And that's funny, because if your penis sings Dylan songs to you how uptight can you be? Okay, I"m done.

Yes - but I think the reason for that was that he was really thinking of another metaphor, one which he'd been advised wouldn't necessarily go over very well. "Big trucks"..."big dump trucks"..."big dump": Stevens was really meaning to compare the Internets to plumbing systems: "If you take a giant dump in the Internets, the tubes will plug up."

I looked for these: > Brian Wilson/The Beach Boys > The Bangles > The Minutemen > The Monkees > X And basically was pleased to find them there. I didn't find: The Germs The Go-Gos Fear Those are oversights, I think. I completely understand why this list includes these (regardless of my personal tastes): > Herb Alpert > Beck > The Byrds > Captain Beefheart > Crosby, Stills & Nash > The Doors > The Geraldine Fibbers > Love > Joni Mitchell > The Muffs > Randy Newman > The Turtles > Tom Waits > Weezer > Victoria Williams > Frank Zappa I can't figure out for the life of me why these are on the list (the inclusion of both Buckleys and the one Wainwright just screams "histrionic personality disorder"): > Jeff Buckley > Tim Buckley > Hole > Redd Kross > Rufus Wainwright And I don't know much about these (Starting point?): > Buffalo Springfield > Eels > Jason Falkner > Gram Parsons/The Flying Burrito Brothers > Jurassic 5 > Mazzy Star > Emitt Rhodes/The Merry-Go-Round > The Standells > The Sugarplastic > That Dog J. - -- _______________________________________________ Capuchin capuchin@bitmine.net Jeme A Brelin _______________________________________________ ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V15 #182 ********************************
