It has no special packaging, no bonus tracks, and the CD booklet gatefold is completely blank. It sound perfectly fine, though. Let me know if you still want it. Regarding Tris' Dickies whiffage: That surprised me too. I'm figuring Tris for mid-30's, but I'm not positive (no Wikipedia entry for the man). Mr. McCall having stumped me with Terry Allen, I had to smile when I to stumped him in return. I consider the Dickies much more popular than Terry Allen. But then again, I'm me. Meaning I startle when nobody's heard of Eric Rudolph or Richard Ramirez, Andy "love ? and the mysterians, and really dig the first two albums. especially cant get enough of you baby. i didnt know they reunited, but i cant imagine that a reunion show would have been anything other than awesome. provided their organist played a real sixties combo, i mean, and didnt try to generate the same sounds with a sampler or an inferior model. you never know." - --Tris McCall on 96 TEARS FOREVER: THE DALLAS REUNION TAPES ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:36:01 -0800 From: "Joseph M.

I'll get the remastered edition. Okay, then, the disc is still up for grabs! Let me know what you thought of "Roxymania!" Oh, and if you want that book loaned to you... Rocking out to IN A GLASS HOUSE, Andy "definitely a contender for any list, because there arent any weak songs on it, and the songwriter presences so much nerd character. still, why would i rather listen to jonathan sings!, i ask you? its not just because of the neighbors. the knock on jonathan richman is that he has a tendency to get insufferably cutesy-pootsy, and the first album was definitely not that. but i do think hes more interesting when hes lovestruck than he is when hes delivering put-downs. his put-downs will be familiar to anybody who has ever dated a geek, while his lovestruck behavior is completely singular. robyn hitchcock would compare his girlfriend to an insect, too, but he was weird and morbid and maybe even a bit alien, while richman just seems dizzy with spring and all its possibilities." - --Tris McCall on THE MODERN LOVERS ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:55:37 -0800 From: "Brian Block" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Free (but not Free Hand) to a good home >Okay, then, the disc is still up for grabs!> Okay, I'll claim it if no one else has.

I'd send you STUKAS too, had I a copy to spare. 41 and reasonably though not encyclopedically versed in Dickiesness, Andy "i have to admit i dont dig. maybe id be able to hear rod stewart doing amazing grace if it was 1973 and i was craving a faces reunion, but after dya think im sexy (which i do like, or at least i like the disco synth lick that he swiped from that brazilian dude), its just bizarre. and there is something about maggie may that grates against my austere folk-rock sensibility; maybe its where he goes to the relative minor? on any-mo-ore? or maybe its that his cougar-chasing seems like inept love-man behavior, and nobody likes a half-assed lothario. the world will not agree when i say that he sounds awfully insincere, but i stand by it. i do not believe she stole his heart  i think hell be on to the next girl the moment hes back at college. hell be fine. and since hell be fine, the things he says to maggie are shitty." - --Tris McCall on EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY (maybe I should have asked him about GASOLINE ALLEY) ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V9 #24 ******************************
