It wasn't that long ago... certainly she had some comments on the last Wilco record, and I seem to recall her recently having reappeared and made reference to NZ's Doubtful Sound, which she'd claimed as a band name after James and I had discussed it. I ended up writing a song with that title... Natalie-related topics certainly motivated a lot of feg-songs over the years.

For many years my mom has asked me for Christmas gift suggestions for myself, and I've asked for such calendars to make things easy (also, guitar strings, picks, CDR's (used to be blank cassettes), and other standbys). I keep the calendars after the year's over, and at one former workplace I decorated the walls of my fairly-large office with pages from old ones... hundreds of them, actually.

Firstly, let me make sure I got this right... the box comes with a little slip saying you can claim a free track from YepRoc's stash with a code, and that song turns out to be... "Sounds Great When You're Dead", some kind of demo version, right? Is this previously unreleased? BSDR: It's apparently been a long time since I listened to this. It is as great as I remember, but some of it surprised me anyway-- Side 2 is about as perfect a sequence as anything in the RH catalog. I don't know that I ever made the obvious connection between "I Watch the Cars" and "Devil Mask" before, and I had certainly forgotten how much I love "Out of the Picture"-- I had to pick up the liner notes to make sure that it wasn't somehow Andy and not Matthew playing bass on it (not that Andy's better, it just sounds more his style than Matthew's). (I remember who the "nowhere girl" was for me when I was first obsessively listening to BSDR... I really liked her, and for some reason couldn't help associating the song with her, although I did feel a little bad about the bit were she's a disease and a creature out of hell and all.) Great record. The bonus tracks... they're a pretty logical batch to go with the album proper, I suppose (with the possible exception of "Ralph", which is probaby here for some approximation of chronology). I don't recall having heard this version of "It was the Night" before. It's great, and definitive as far as I'm concerned (it's going to take me a while to get myself straight on which tracks used to be where, and I'll need to revisit some of the scorecards posted to the list). It's an easier listen straight through than the Rhino version... songs don't seem to repeat in demo versions as much. I'm not a big fan of slimline cardboard CD sleeves in general, but this one is nicely LP-like and I like the presentation of the comic strips-- having just a few of them on the actual sleeve as opposed to many more scattered throughout the liner note booklet makes it all seem a bit more deliberately designed. And while I do miss the extensive liner notes on the Rhino version, I actually still have the extensive liner notes on the Rhino version, so no worries. More on the other discs later. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2008 10:42:25 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: astronomy picture of the day On Jan 8, 2008 10:11 AM, lep wrote: > Rex says: > > Speaking of Christmas, nobody got me "I WANNA GO BACKWARDS", so I > ordered it > > myself and it's just arrived and is now playing. > > i guess i got your copy. i considered keeping the 2nd copy and giving > it as a gift, but, time to buy textbooks, alas. > How'd you end up with two?

It's ugly. But I am still liking the little album sleeves. If anything, they make me kind of want the vinyl version even more, but, hey, that's just a little bit wildly extravagant for my budget. But I'd love to hear some comments from anyone who does have them. IODOT: a major major album for me from way back. This sounds really really good! Has anyone A/B'ed this with the Rhino version? This edition fixes the major goofy thing about the Rhino issue: the bonus tracks have been excised from the middle of the record. For that alone I am grateful; it's kind of like getting an old friend back, and I almost miss the scratched-up surface of the cassette case my original copy came in, many a Christmas ago. No, there was nothing stopping me from sequencing my Rhino CD like this for lo these (approx.) 15 years, but it's nice not to have and hear it that way now. The bonus tracks here are really nice, since I now like the old Rhino tracks better (they now sound like further ruminations or expansions on the themes of the album proper), and the "new" stuff is pretty groovy. I might've sequenced it a bit differently, but as a group of songs it sits together nicely (and "Winter Love" is the perfect transition out of the proper album into and into bonus-land). The Bananarama bit at the beginning of the "Trains" demo is pretty funny without sinking the song. I like the new version of "Aether" (the original is consigned to oblivion, yes?); it loses some of its characteristic propulsion, but the dense weirdness suits it just as well. The second take of "Heart Full of Leaves" seems extraneous, and I could wish that the newly unearthed tunes ("Traveler's Fare" in particular) had a little more time to get going, but I guess these are unfinished sketches and won't complain unduly. The handwritten song list on the back is interesting-- it has some songs that have never been on the record before, as did the Rhino edition. Has Robyn actually physically rewritten this list every time the album has come out? Or just added a few new titles in the same style? Or is it all Photoshop sleight-of-hand at this remove? The story excerpt in the booklet catches my attention more than the usual one, maybe because it relates to the content of the album, maybe because the phrase "thank Norm!" leaps entertainingly out at me, or maybe because it suddenly seems rather along the lines of the Flan O'Brien novel I read a few months back. Nice. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2008 15:02:34 -0500 From: lep Subject: Re: natalie jane- gnats posts online Rex says: > Has anyone unearthed her last post?

That doesn't seem right. But, that being the case, and this being the least sonically upgraded record in the box, I don't have much to say about the proper album other than that it remains a favorite of mine; it's the record that got me back into RH's music after writing him off in a way, and I have a lot of memories tied up in it. Far fewer bonus tracks on this than the other two albums-- four, discounting "QEII"-- but they're all new to me. "Century" sounds like a demo for a song by either Warren Zevon or The Church; "Shimmering Distant Love" bears some resemblance to "Statue with a Walkman" and sounds quite like it belongs on the proper album; "Lovers Turn to Skulls" is a very minimal sketch that calls to mind Van Morrison's "contract obligation album", replete with whistling; "The Beauty of Earl's Court" is quite lovely indeed (the chords in the verse seem to mirror that song "Get Together"... yes, that one, "try and love one another right now"... but not distractingly so). The poems are nice... they definitely seem to be part and parcel with the imagery and subject matter of the album itself. I don't recall ever seeing the colored pencil pieces in the gatefold before, with the transparent lovers and such. Nice. And speaking of the handwritten tracklisting, has anyone looked at the sequence on the back of this sleeve? WTF? (That said, I am delighted that the nonsense credit "Kung Fu Fighting was originally released in 1974" has survived yet another reissue... does anyone know whether this little note predated Robyn's actually performing the song? I can't even recall where that recording was originally found; I suspect my copy may have come from the original Napster...) - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2008 14:56:58 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: Gnat commemorative On Jan 8, 2008 2:37 PM, Tom Clark wrote: > On Jan 8, 2008, at 2:21 PM, Carrie Galbraith wrote: > > > Fegs - > > All this outpouring of memorials and images and posts, it's > > wonderful and sad and beautiful.

Gnat has a credit on it for inspiring both the compilation title and of course Brian's song. Perhaps someone can scan the cover art?
