brianjeremy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It leaked, it can be found easily via a google blog search. --Mike I am aware of it's leak but I think I'm gonna wait this one out. I guess my question should have been "how does this one sound? Tell me what it's like." Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I am aware of it's leak but I think I'm gonna wait this one out. I guess my question should have been "how does this one sound? Tell me what it's like." Well it's so good as I have been listening to it, I have been pondering packing my bags and heading over to Via Hoboken. Typically eclectic set from the band, lot of great Ira guitar parts, some amazing string arrangements and 60's Motown-style duet between Ira and Georgia. Then there's the epic three songs in 35 minutes closing tracks. Further solidifies their position as the "Holy Spirit" in the Trinity of American Art Rock Bands, The Velvets being God, and The Talking Heads Jesus. --Mike Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I thought I had stopped listening to retrospectives.I refuse to ever buy compilations that don't provide any new material. As far as song choices, how is this? Link to post Share on other sites
RainDogToo Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Well its official, Heartless Bastards are my new obsession! I just can’t get enough of these guys! Link to post Share on other sites
augurus Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I refuse to ever buy compilations that don't provide any new material. As far as song choices, how is this?They didn't exclusively pick the singles: instead, they plucked some highlights from the albums.It's not awful. I didn't hear disc 2 yet since Spinner is only streaming disc 1. NP: Wilco w/ Andrew Bird - Jesus, Etc. (Live Summer '08) Link to post Share on other sites
