Actually I will just put in an order to CDwow, but if that falls through, thanks for giving me an option. It is very kind of you. And you were right about the La's. (I have been listening to it a lot)
I'm in the middle of reading that book about The La's now. Supposively, Lee Mavers has new material that is even stronger than the songs on The La's album, but no one knows if we'll ever hear them.

A NOTE FROM EDDIE SPAGHETTI
Well, here it is, another "night before the release" at the Spaghetti manor. As you may or may not know, my record, The Sauce, "drops" (that's what the kids call it these days) tomorrow (or today, by the time you read this), Tuesday, Jan 13th. It's always kind of cool sitting here before the record comes out, not knowing what people will think and hoping for the best. No matter how many records I've put out, it's still exciting on "the eve".
It'll be a busy day tomorrow (today? - whatever). I start with a live appearance on KEXP, 90.3 here in Seattle at noon Pacific time.
Then, next week, The Supersuckers will be heading to England, Scotland and Ireland for a couple weeks before heading down the west coast here in the states. After that, hello South America! Do we ever stop? No, we don't.
Please, please, please (ain't too proud to beg!) go out and get The Sauce. I guarantee it'll provide you with some good listening. Come see The Supersuckers if we're in, or even near, your town. We'll rock your ass!
Eddie Spaghetti
One of my favorite concert experiences ever was catching them doing a free afternoon gig down in Austin when they were on their country extravaganza bent. This toddler was running around oblivious in front of the stage wearing this giant ear protection headset. Eddie was bitching about the kid being there, then he paused & said "I'm such a bad dad". The KEXP DJ was calling the kid Spaghetti O. I got a great photo with Eddie taken after the show from the balconey @ Stubbs. Eddie is throwing the metal sign \nn/. It's badass.
Exciting story eh… :D

I can see Morrissey's on the cutting edge with these hot titles. Hey! I heard that Bush didn't really win the 2000 election.

That Set the Twilight Reeling didn't amount to much either. His appearance on Letterman singing "Ecstasy" was laughable to say the least. He'll put out an album in a few years that people will laud as his best one yet, and then release crap for the next few. If he's still around, of course.

>>> I was living in God's armpit at the time. Orlando,Florida. While I slaved away for Nickelodeon. A local top 40 station sponsored the La's show at the Hilton Twin Towers across from Universal Studios. It was a surreal venue and crowd to put it mildly. It was a Saturday afternoon and a 1 p.m. start in 95 degree heat at a bar behind the hotel that looked like a Tiki Bar out of a Jimmy Buffett video! About 50 people were sitting on towels by the pool watching the band. Out of those 50 maybe 6 including myself had a friggin' clue who or what these guys were all about! They were introduced and never said a word to the crowd. They played about 2 or 3 songs and then left the stage. They returned about a half hour later and did the same thing! This went on for about a 3 hour period.And then they were gone! No interaction with the crowd,no communication from the station DJ's about what was going on! We got the entire album but it took all day! Strangest show ever! I've seen bigger crowds in someone's basement in high school! What they did play was EXCELLENT I will have to say! I have yet to see or hear any Britpop band since that had "it" like they did. Fuckin' Fabulous! Just a bit daff…..

Broken Social Scene To Release Rarities/B-Sides Collection in March
[Broken Social Scene, who you might recall released Pitchfork's ninth favorite album of 2003, will release a new collection called Beehives on March 23rd via Arts and Crafts. The record, culled from b-sides and other unreleased material, is described as "songs for the come down." In other words, fans should expect a rather calm tone running through all of the tracks included, with no upbeat rockers, like You Forgot it in People's "Almost Crimes."
Although considered a "b-sides" record by the band, many of the songs weren't actually b-sides. The band released two singles in the UK: "Stars & Sons" and "Cause = Time," and three of the tracks on Beehives are pulled from those. However, many of the others were recorded when the band needed a break from recording You Forgot it in People and simply retreated to a friend's house to "record while fooling around with sounds."
At least one song had a mission statement from the word go: the band tells Pitchfork they "spent many early mornings making noise while hooking up with our friend Emily to create a lo-fi anthem." The track in question is entitled "Backyards," and while it is technically an anthem, the band shy away from imagery of rockets, bombs, and indestructable war banners altogether. Tracklist:
01
02 Marketfresh
03 Weddings
04 Hallmark
05 Backyards
06 Da Da Dada
07 Ambulance for the Ambiance
08 Time = Cause
09 Lover's Spit
Whether or not the band will tour in support of the record isn't 100 percent clear, but it certainly seems likely. According to Kevin Drew, "We're excited to see what we do next. We're excited to see what people want us to do next. We're excited to record another record." In the meantime, however, he states that the band will continue "touring, writing, and living with semi-new lives."

I for one am looking forward to a new release by the master of misery.
ggw just hates him because he's beautiful.

Beauty Pill is supposed to have a full-length out this year. Looking forward to that one.
Originally posted by SPARX:The one at Lake Fairfax…wasn't it pretty muddy one year? Only reason I ask, I worked at the mall and a lot of the bands came in for new clothes one year. Sounds silly, but at the time we were all excited about the music and statstruck to have the festival in our area.

01/15/04 "well, its been a long time coming, but from 'on high', we have a tentative release date for BOTH "Video Capture Device" (the Weezer DVD), AND The Blue Album Deluxe Edition: March 23, 2004. (Now, "tentative" means they have put them on their release schedule, and this date is subject to revision. But - if the release date is in fact changed, it won't be changed by much.)
Thats right, The DVD and the Deluxe Blue Album are coming out on the same day. As previously reported here, the DVD will have over 3 hours of videos, mini-documentaries, live footage, and behind the scenes action dating from 1991-2002, and will have optional band member commentary on many of the DVD's selections. The Deluxe Blue Album will be a 2 disc set that includes the blue album and a disc with all the b-sides and a selection of rare and very rare tracks, plus a big fat booklet with lots of stuff to read and tons of pix, many never before seen.
In the coming weeks/months, the release date will be confirmed and you'll see the cover art for the dvd. At the moment, the DVD's final assembly and production session is slated for the beginning of February. As more info becomes known it will appear on this news page. Thanks to all the fans for your support and patience on these projects!"
