The Feelies' ONLY LIFE 20th anniversary reissused. Damn, I feel like Old Wu.

New liner notes, bonus tracks, or > anything? I hope it's actually on the shelves! According to the link below, Water Records had plans to issue CRAZY RHYTHMS, but that never surfaced. Water Records has no web page to call its own, that I can discover, and Runt Distribution's web site is "under construction" with no further details. In other news, an enjoyable take on 1969 from Scott. I mentally bet that he'd include "1969" by the Stooges, "Hitchin' A Ride" by Vanity Fare, and "Something In The Air" by Thunderclap Newman. Well, three strikes and I'm out. Could someone explain to him, though--nicely, of course--that throwing an "edit" into "Down By The River" just plain goes against nature? Andy "In band utopia, people never aspire to work with new musicians because their band is the greatest thing ever. I love my touring band, but I also enjoyed the opportunity to be in the studio and learn how other players approach songs, it was a great learning experience. Touring can make you live in small and smelly bubble with 5 other people, and it's a wonderful place, but stretching outside and making new friends and watching talented people do their thing is a great thing too. Sometimes living outside your comfort zone is great for your ears and your heart." - --Kathleen Edwards, in an email to me explaining why she decided to incorporate session musicians into the recording of ASKING FOR FLOWERS ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:53:32 EDT From: Markwstaples@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Sweet Feelies Money is tight (packing lunch instead of eating in the school caf for a week should offset my losses), but I just couldn't wait, so I bought the new Matthew Sweet record. And, it's damned good, AND it grabs you from the get go. He hasn't done that in a while for sure, at least for me. Fills that insatiable pop appetite, at least for now. The artwork is in that style you saw with bands like The Hummingbirds' LOVE BUZZ lp or The Primitives LOVELY lp or most recently The Rosebuds' MAKEOUT lp--a plain font against an intersting photo that grabs you. Eight Feelies to hold you, - --Mark, who had CRAZY RHYTHMS on white vinyl back in the glorious '80s--but sold it like a dumbass when I bought the A&M CD reissue **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.

Water and Runt are now owned by City Hall Records - the place I've worked FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS KILL ME NOW!!!

Nope. Ain't gonna do it. ;-) But as a moldy piece of GT trivia - on the '85 tour w/Suzy, we practiced a version of this song, but I don't remember if we ever actually performed it.

Wow, what we'd give to hear a tape of that eh? Of course, Scott would lean in to the mike and intone, "edit," Andy "When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer When I heard the learn'd astronomer; When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me; When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them; When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars." - --Walt Whitman ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V7 #489 *******************************
