Ah, bless you, Mike! The only one I have from this set is "Oh Dana", I think...
This is swell... Much thanks! Having only listened to #1 Album and Radio Star - aside from a few singles/ demos/ etc. - this is a great treasure for me.
Death Cab For Cutie, huh? I never knew... Good name for a song. Not so good for a band.
Thanks again.
While I don't necessarily subscribe to the view that this was Alex in the thick of an 'on air' breakdown, it is hard listening. It puts me in mind of the same kind of discomfort which accompanies listening to Syd at times. Never wholly awful in the sum of its parts, or even vicarious in a rubbernecking way.
Just... Odd and disconnected. Or too real.
WV= "ingly" as in T-ingly.
Definitely odd, ib... But I think it is still connected. To what? I have no idea...
I hear you. On occasion the Ghosts inhabited the same space, with whatever umbilical cord that tethered it disappearing into a hole in the ground. Often, I thought it sounded great... and sometimes it sounded... dead.
I demand a campfire and flickering light for this tale!
All I know is that radio, and musicians, were far more interesting in 1975. As much as I love listening to acts on shows such as Morning Becomes Eclectic, it is all just orchestrated publicity. This Chilton set is not orchestrated publicity.
Re: DCFR, this from Wikipedia: Gibbard took the band name from the title of the song written by Neil Innes and Vivian Stanshall and performed by their group the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band in The Beatles' 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour.
Oh, it's certainly "not orchestrated publicity", thank christ, and it is a great set.
Lots of stuff was more interesting in 1975, or is that just me being overbearingly nostalgic?
thanx for sharing this!
looks interesting but where's the download link?
Anonymous, I feel your pain. Jeez, I hate these guys who take down links (for whatever reasons, good or bad) but leave the original posts up (...it's not like you had anything to say in your blog about the music!) And Google points us here forever after to rant and rave at the time wasted following fruitless searches.
