I'm not sure what is going on. I posted back on Sunday, replying to the lobster phone photo, but it did not seem to go through (reposted below). Did anyone else have posts that disappearred?

But it could, and did, very quickly. Po-faced 80s nonsense. Sorry. Stewart - ------------------------------ Ouch! Whack! Smack to the face from the gent who turned me on to the great Of Montreal! Oh dear! :) Well, Stewart this IS the most Po-faced 80's nonsense of all the MSet albums for certain. And I did sort of pick it because I knew it was James' fav... Still, if you heard some of the early singles, you might not think it was the same band... To me, the band was never the same after drummer/lyricist John Haney left after the 2nd album (right before Eligible Bachelors). It was like Bill Berry leaving R.E.M. (not comparing the two bands). Still... I can't think of the MSet as Po-faced 80s nonsense. Nonsense? Sure! but not 80's... I mean does this sound 80's? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMDTx4S1TkE&feature=related Or this sexually charged, drum thumping anthem? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9yspuNnW0E&feature=related Or one of my favorites and one- that turned Andy Warhol into a fan (from 1979 not 1980 BTW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCGJQ5uXR8A&feature=related Well, truth is if you don't like EB you probably won't like any MSet. To me they are to be cherished and in my top 3 favorite bands of all time. I was introduced to them at a very influencial age... and that stuff never leaves you. I am surprised there aren't more RH/SB and MSet crossover fans... but RH/SB fans are so very diverse and never what you think! Anyway thanks for giving it a fair shot. - -Nuppy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:58:05 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Stewart broke my heart On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Bri N wrote: > > > Well, truth is if you don't like EB you probably won't like any MSet. > Wait - what's Eb got to do with it? - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:07:56 -0500 From: Miles Goosens Subject: Re: Stewart broke my heart On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 5:58 PM, 2fs wrote: > On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Bri N wrote: > >> >> >> Well, truth is if you don't like EB you probably won't like any MSet. >> > > Wait - what's Eb got to do with it?
