Yeah, I guess you're right to be sarcastic, but the point at which > Bright Eyes swept my social circle was the release of Every Day And Every > Night, which is short and pretty stylistically homogenous. But not so homogenous as to bore or anything - from the anguished pop of "A Perfect Sonnet" to the anguished angst of "On the Way Home from Work," the anguished EP captures perfectly the anguished young life of anguished Conor Oberst. Okay, again wit' the sarcasm...both of those songs completely blow me away, and the rest of the EP is pretty damned fine too. _Fevers and Mirrors_ doesn't do as much for me; nor does EDAEN's predecessor (which I listened to in the car just last week, although its title slips my mind). What are people's opinions re Desaparecidos (sp)? Haven't heard it myself... - --Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html ::a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous...got me? __Captain Beefheart__ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 02:59:47 +0100 From: "richblath" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Rain Parade & ProTools > Did someone mention the new Rain Parade CD yet?

Also, interestingly, after last week trying to get Tim to write a book about how to get the best out of ProTools, the Rain Parade site provides information on a book by Steven Roback on ProTools!

That long > interview track was annoying. The music just didn't grab me Ah - thank you for reminding me to complain about that. Oh so freakin postmodern. (You can say that in a Dr. Evil voice if you're so inclined.) I think I'll edit it & burn a CD-R. Then again, _Letting Off the Happiness_ has that track with like eight minutes of bass drone between its sections... Oh - and here I thought Oberst was young when he first started recording - turns out that, according to the AMG, he's only eight years old *now*.

I saw a copy while I was in the city, buying someone a CD, and almost picked it up, then came home to find it listed at Parasol as well: Rain Parade Perfume River PS, UK A limited edition collection of previously unreleased live recordings from November 1984. STEVEN ROBACK, MATT PIUCCI, and WILL GLENN are captured in fine form playing twelve classic paisley underground tracks from the "Emergency Third Rail Power Trip" and "Explosions In The Glass Palace" albums, before bringing in some members of the LONG RYDERS and CHESTERFIELD KINGS for some Velvet Underground ("What Goes On") and Neil Young ("Like A Hurricane") jams. 14 tracks including Kaleidoscope, Crashing Dream, You Are My Friend, Sad Eyes Kill, No Easy Way Down, etc. Limited edition pressing of 1,000 copies. Very nice offering from one of the era's best bands!! Rainfall-006 CD $15.25 - --dana ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
