Boston Spaceships - Zero to 99

Good song - I wanted to keep it to 20 songs, and yes, it could've been included. Rich Turiel told me Bob had written down sing like 'Pete Ham' when cutting the vocal.

+ 1 Mag Earwig = great record One of these days when I see through the smoke That'll be the day I get the joke edit: perhaps we should create a new thread for this. BS:0-99 > Cosmos x100m

I'm fairly certain that's incorrect. When I ordered a few others a month ago, Rich T. (webmaster) indicated bogus shipping charges were being applied to orders coming in. Maybe send him an e-mail. Check PM

It's certainly the best of the (3) Boston Spaceships records. That said, it's different from the first two, but I can't quite put my finger on why that is. Bob did a great job sequencing this time around.

Great, you got it....and yes, it certainly is. I just can't get The Comedian out of my head.

You can listen to a new track from the Kerouac album. Jay wrote it and Ben Gibbard sings it. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113027088

I ordered my copy the first day of the pre-sale, which was the same day they posted Question Girl All Right on the website. Rich T. sent out the first batch last Friday, which to my amazement arrived on Monday, two weeks before the release date.

Boston Spaceships - Zero To 99 Initial listens has revealed : : How Wrong You Are Radical Amazement Found Obstruction Rock n Roll Question Girl All Right Let It Rest For A Little While (what a run of songs) Meddle Exploding Anthills The Comedian I've only heard it 3x and I'm already thinking it's better than Elephant Jokes How is that even possible ? The Pollardian Book of Rock - Volume 1-100

I believe they're from your neck of the woods, but how the hell is Frog Holler doing these days ? I'm fairly certain I own a Rolling Hayseeds disc, I just can't remember what it is.

...it really is.

If anyone would like a Sparklehorse comp, or anything else for that matter, please shoot me a PM and I'll get it out later this evening, or most likely tomorrow in the a.m.

If I had to pick just one, it would be that. I remember hearing it for the first time years ago and being blown away. What a great listening experience. Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain is another worth checking out

Agreed To answer your question, no. The songs were culled from 4-5 proper releases of each artist.

.....very nice ...couldn't agree more

Nice to see some Richmond Fontaine love round these parts. The Raymond Carver comparison is dead-on. I'd like to add John Fante to the mix as well. I recently read both of Willy's novels, Northline (which comes with an instrumental soundtrack of acoustic guitar & pedal steel) & The Motel Life. His first, The Motel Life was a great read, and apparently is being made into a movie.

I love that Joe Pisapia record. (Dancing Partner kills me every time) The NMH record has grown somewhat thin over the last 10 years or so. Wild Frank - if you're interested I have an 80 minute Best-of Comp of both M.Ward & Sparklehorse.

A Day in the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatles Mark Hertsgaard By far, my favorite book on the Fabs'. It goes into great detail on the songwriting process between John & Paul. Compelling

Dust of Daylight is another that will lay alongside Windfall, Tear-Stained Eye & Methamphetamine as classics from the Farrar oeuvre.

Geoff Emerick/Engineer - On The Beatles In Mono - Sept 2, 2009 Geoff Emerick was The Beatles principle recording engineer from Revolver through Abbey Road which is when The Beatles were doing their most adventurous work. Emerick was greatly responsible for the sound of those Beatles albums. When I say sound, I mean the sound - not the music. The music itself was made by The Beatles themselves with the help of George Martin on arrangements. Because of Emerick’s close relationship to The Beatles recordings it makes sense to listen to what he says as far as the mono mix vs. stereo mix debate.
