it might be, but I bet a fair amount of exchange would happen without needing shipping. I could get it to B'more in person, or down to TX (where at least shipment to Austin would be shorter and cheaper). It could make exchanges at the F2F for sure.
How much does a good one run?
I have no idea. I could bring it to the Philly folks!
Looks like $100 - $200 on Amazon.
No, that part I can handle; it's getting it from there to somewhere else. I can burn a disk easy enough, but I've never done any file-sharing type activities.
Frank, if it's just a single song that you're talking about, surely the easiest thing would be just to send it as an email attachment, right? Either to whoever requested it, or to buffistarawk or buffistarawk2 (both gmail addresses).
Now I feel stoopid. So, it's on the 2-disc Glory Times CD?

I just listened to the brief clips and the first sounds like the Dummy version, and the second is too acoustic sounding, and "Toy Box" is different but still not it. Wah!
But I didn't know this album existed, and must own it. No need to hassle with sharing (unless you really want to
::bats eyelashes::)
because I'd like to give them my money.
Third is okay, it's Portishead, no doubt, but more of the shrill keening that I liked least about the band, and a dash of Beth Orton, which is okay in it's small dose, and a sad loss of the triphop sampling thing they did that I loved so.
S'funny. I haven't heard it yet, but some of my psych-rock-loving friends have been saying that it's the best thing they've heard all year.

I'm liking it probably *almost* as much as I've liked the other two Portishead albums, percentage-wise, but I can't get "Machine Gun" out of my head and I HATE that particular song. I still need to listen to Third more, but my hate for that particular song is far stronger than the meh or mild dislike for some of the bands previous too-shrill (or saccharine) songs. For instance I could never get behind "It Could Be Sweet", "Cowboys" or "It's a Fire" but I prefer any of those three to "Machine Gun", which, wtf? Especially after reading all the rave listener reviews of the track.
Mr. Jane has the ability to rip from vinyl, but you'd have to come up here. And, I'd have to take the dogs for a very long walk. (USB turntable + pier & beam hardwoods + dogs excited by company=very messy recording)

These psych-rock-loving friends are people who aren't normally fans of Portishead's oeuvre, so it doesn't surprise me that people who like the previous stuff would be disappointed.

Hmm, I'm not sure I have the 2-disc version, so I may not have it after all. I do have an alternate version that I like better than the original, I know that much.
