You may be able to purchase it from them at the show in Australia. Often times bands sell albums before they are released at shows.

About a stones throw from the Gothic Theatre.

And good riddance. Now, back to business-I have decided that the inter-band love is so musically and personally miraculous it has turned into not a love triangle but a love hexagon. All writing credits will be in arcane diagrams and in ten years when a book comes out the details of interband relationships will be so charming that it will read like a Cameron Crowe screen play.

What about Rabbi's in Brooklyn. I am only going off of popular film which has lead us all astray on issues of religious/ethnic minority and their distinguishing vernacular. Hey sky blue sky!! Whoooo!!

I propose Pecan Pie and I have an internet joust. I also live in Colorado so I can come pick it up...... eh? eh?

AGIB is my favorite too. When people say AM or Summerteeth is their favorite I dont get it, but I do try and refrain from calling strangers nuts. AGIB is easily on of my top ten desert island albums, its a freakin journey. I think that album is spiritual, only YHF gets near that for me, but hey some people like key lime others eat some cherry pie.

Yeah, I keep coming back thinking I will run into someone who's actually heard the album talking about what they heard. Instead we keep getting a whole lot of not. In viachicago fashion: "There is nothing worth discussing on here for at least a month so......I hate that one guy that said that one thing."

It's just a combo of the sweet effect and using your left hand to make an over exaggerated vibrato. He might have used a bigsby but I think you can do that all with your left hand, especially way up high with a lot of gain.

I can just imagine him doing his smart ass head nod and a winning smile while singing "You can rely on me honey" You know he would stall the beginning of the line just a bit.

See thread below (prunes and custard) and shake your left hand pretty hard while doing it. Voila!

wait wait, what about.... Sam Cooke doing Jesus Etc. with Booker T and the M.G.s as his backup band.

How about you resurrect Johnny Cash and have him do 'Far, Far, Away'. Too obvious...? What about Deerhoof doing 'Poor Places'?

Thats a good deal....I think. How much have you used it/how much do you think it costs to mail it?

How much do ya want for it?

I agree. Now that is all......

Wait, how do you know that?

Yes, indeed close it. But haven't we learned so much from each other? Don't we all feel like better people?

Oooh we should all go. Make a week of it.

In short: you can encode it at whatever fancy bit rate you want, but if the program/machine doing it is crap it will sound like crap. Some audio holds up better at lower bit rates than others. Probably a solo tweedy performance, or a rockin Bruce Springsteen song sounds better on high bit mp3 than a massive symphony recording.

Well this might help what has become a round table discussion/op ed. From wikipedia: "The transparency threshold of MP3 can be estimated to be at about 128k with good encoders on typical music as evidenced by its strong performance in the above test, however some particularly difficult material can require 192k or higher. As with all lossy formats, some samples can not be encoded perfectly transparent to all users. Thus many users opt for 192k as a good trade off."

We might get moderated here (a bit off topic). I spoke alot of Spanish in Barcelona, but whats more, it is hard to keep up with the Catalan which is experiencing a strong resurgence. The barrio gotic is as full of tourists as one would expect, but its got great history, if you want to hang out with more locals its only a couple metro stops away to a less touristy neighborhood. Western Europe as a whole seems to have plenty of English speakers almost everywhere. I can't speak for Sevilla because I have never been there.

Here's a man with a sense of humor. If you read up on it (here's where my cave dork comes out to party with yours) a high bit rate mp3 is vitually indistinguishable from a wav or other format, to your average sound engineer with the acception of some very moderate phase distortion on the higher frequencies (much more obvious on low quality mp3's). There is no doubt that transmitting, changing, and trading mp3's no matter how high the quality can degrade it into a rather pathetic state. ALL digital audio sources are said to produce higher listener fatigue, but they still haven't invented a r

Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in the world, better even than Paris.

You'll have to excuse some of us who are less accustomed to communicating in smilies. Although your ninja has enriched your statement quite cutely.

More time and money than the actual band, the label that puts it out and the actual studio that has refined the art of recording it? Tapers are intelligent, tech savy and we have already agreed valuable. But lets not forget that they are also hobbysists, and furthermore fans like the rest of us. But oh wait, is that smiley face for sarcasm? If so I agree with you, if not see above. Sorry.
