Hec! Thank you for the music. Also love the Gene Clark you mentioned above.
Does anyone have his original version of "You Showed Me"? I only know the Lightning Seeds cover, which is great, but I have never been able to get my hands on the original.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Gah. With all the Gene Clark and Byrds I own, I don't own that. Corwood might have it.
I think I have the Turtles cover of it (which is very Byrdsy, as you'd imagine).
I'd been tempted by that Gene Clark in the Byrds compilation on Raven (which does have it). Hmmm, might have to succumb to temptation.
In surprising news, AMG says that Salt-N-Pepa covered it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
If it's on that 4 CD Byrds box set, then I have it. I'll check when I get home.

It's not on the box (which I also own). It's on Preflyte and the Raven comp I mentioned and Byrds In the Beginning.

I'm pretty sure the only one I have is the Lightning Seeds version, too.
Haven't had time to send up the classic country mix yet, but I intend to do so at first opportunity.

So, I went out and got it and now it's posted.
xpost to UnAm.
1. "You Showed Me" - The Byrds. Very early. They sound rather gloriously Merseybeat here.
2. "Desert Inn" - Ian Mathews. Fantastic guitar on this by RT.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
That Arctic Monkeys album all the kids are raving about (seriously - NME just named it one of the top 5 British albums and it came out two weeks ago - I mean, I gotta hear that), Silversun Pickups and the Belle and Sebastian that comes out on Tuesday.
It was just last night, while using many, many unfinished sentences to explain to a friend why I thought Dear Catastrophe Waitress was as layered a song as I know, that I realised I actually do like Belle and Sebastian. Now, I feel kind of silly for letting The Baroque put me off.
Also, I was talking to an Avengers enthusiast last night and it turns out that Brian Blessed was in that episode too. He was all trim and beardless so I don't feel bad for not recognizing him.

Sorry Jon for your loss.
Also congratulations all around on the book deals.

Wow, you went out and got it specially? Thank you! (Far be it from me to unearth a gap in your collection, but that seems to be what I did. Oh dear).
Like it a lot, but like what Ian Broudie did with it a lot too. The Byrds version is chugalug, whereas his slides.

I worked for a while on a country mix last night. After the inital round of pulling appropriate songs, I'm down to 85 songs at 4.2 hours. Must cull a bit more.
