Because I am an insane person, I decided I'd download everything there that I didn't already have (note: absolutely pathetic that I didn't have some of these things digitally - some old LPs or tapes, though). However, being a cheap insane person, I decided that I didn't want to download the exact same track more than once. Given the number of hits collections etc. on the site, this took some doing. Specifically, the doing it took was listening to samples of nearly every Stones track thereon. I did decide I wanted both stereo and mono versions of the same songs - and in a couple of cases, even if the sample sounded identical, if the time listing was different by more than a few seconds, I assumed they were different outside the bounds of the sample. (I'm assuming eMusic's samples are actually from the track so listed...) The results were that, aside from what I already owned in digital form (the London Years singles box, Between the Buttons, Let it Bleed, and Satanic Majesties - yeah I'm one of those weirdos who likes that last one), there were 116 tracks that were distinct enough for me to download them. I'm going through all these detail simply because I made an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of the tracks I wanted to download...and I figured if anyone else is both as ridiculous as I am in wanting to download what they want w/o duplicates, that spreadsheet might be useful to them & save some time. So, let me know if you want a copy. (I can PDF it for those boycotting all Microsoft products...) Do recall it doesn't include any tracks as heard on the albums listed above...with a couple of exceptions (like the non-noise-intro'd stereo version of "She's a Rainbow"...otherwise identical to the TSMR version, I think). - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 22:18:18 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Groups that leave you cold On 4/9/08, Marc Alberts wrote: > > Jeff wrote: > > On 4/9/08, Rex wrote: > > > > > > > > > > I like Luna plenty, but they never had that supernatural > > > force-of-nature-spooky thing that made Galaxie so mesmerizing to me. > > > > > > > > > That quality, I'd say, went with the rest of G500 - a/k/a Damon & > > Naomi. > > > Speaking of D & M, I just picked myself up a copy of the disc they did > with > Ghost, and I really, really like it. Rex's choice of the word "spooky" is > probably the word I would use as well. Two points: 1) If you end up liking that sort of thing, I would highly, highly recommend Doleful Lions' _Out Like a Lamb_, which has a similar haunted-folk quality (w/weird electronic noises) and male/female vocal blend (the female singer's only on this album). 2) When _Damon and Naomi with Ghost_ came my way as a review copy years ago, I at first thought the title was _With Ghost_ and referred not to the guest appearance of Japanese psych band Ghost but simply was a title - which I thought was a very cool title. I interpreted as a variation on "with child" - - just as a pregnant woman is said to be "with child," those of us who are alive might be thought of as being "with ghost" - to be brought forth once we die. That would have been how it would have been titled had it been a Robyn Hitchcock album anyway. There.

I totally called this 20 minutes before the encore! I leaned over to Jonlyn right before Nick sang "Peace, Love & Understanding" and said I bet Elvis would make an appearance tonight since he only lives like 10 minutes away in the West Village, and I'm sure the twins were tucked in for the night. Robyn Hitchcock was invited out during the encore (I didn't know the song they did together), then left and Nick introduced a fellow by the name of Elvis Costello and the crowd went wild. They sang "Indoor Fireworks", then Robyn came back out and sang the Beatles' "If I Fell" followed by a rocking version of Elvis Presley's "Mystery Train." Really great show all around.

Note to those who might consider such a move: in order to perform songs, you have to either do other people's songs or be a songwriter. Anderson's "songs" just aren't very good: she's got no real sense of melody or harmonic structure, and having pared away the quirky sound ideas and even a lot of interesting lyrical content of her early work, she's left with stuff that sounds like World Cafe-bait...except those folks at least actually write songs before filling them chockfull-o'-blandness. Dullsville, babe...dullsville.

One of my girlfriend's best friends from when she lived in San Francisco was the inspiration for "One Long Pair Of Eyes."
