I'm going to try not to do it again anytime in the near (or distant) future. :) ->Summer ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 21:13:26 -0400 From: Summer Young Subject: Re: Songs never heard wish list A.J.

I was not around when the song was "a nation-wide anthem". I was recommended the movie by a friend who is now in his late 20's. I, however, have only seen and heard the song once (a couple years ago), which is why (as I mentioned in my other post relating to this) I never should've opened my big mouth before having my facts straight. Thank you as well for letting me know why I tasted foot. :) > Anyone who doesn't know Alice's Restaurant by heart BTW, should go to the > nearest library or Record store and obtain a copy to listen to and learn. > It is without a doubt one of the most important songs written in the 20th > century. > I am, in fact, going to try to get to the video store this weekend.

Anyway, in your opinion, what is the first CD I should > buy? I'm sure I'll buy them all at some point so this is just for > starters. Here's a personal description of each CD available, and I'll let you choose. :-) Bargainville -- their first CD. Contains *many* of their best-known songs, including "King of Spain", "...Bunch of Authors", and "And The Band Played On". Generally a very fun album, with some slow movements to break things up. Wood -- Canada release only. Much slower mood, but contains some quirkier "slowers" like "Present Tense Tureen". Listen to the end for a hidden "Hey Organ Grinder", which is the *least* slow track by far. the 'B' Album -- Canada only. An EP, not an album, with only six or eight "fun" songs. Released as a contrast to "Wood" by popular demand. Best-known tracks are "I Love My Boss", "The Kids Song" and "Johnny Saucep'n". You Will Go To The Moon -- more eclectic than perhaps even Bargainville. Some fast songs, some slow songs, some a cappella songs, one Egyptian-style song. Two songs swear a lot, if that matters to you. (May not be suitable for sharing with parents. :) ) A good sampler of Moxy's current styles. Live Noise -- meant to be representative of their live concerts, and does a great job by most people's opinions. Kind of a "greatest hits" collection, too, with a couple of their popular covers and several snippets of random dialogue and improvisation. You might like to be familiar with the "original" versions of the songs, though, since some (like "Boo Time" and "King of Spain") get modified or improvised-in during live performances. That's the five CD's in chronological order, and the order in which I bought them. You may pick among them as you see fit. :-) - - Blaze ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 19:51:49 -0400 From: Summer Young Subject: Re: Chad VS Chad (WAS: Musical stuff) Chad Maloney wrote: > Chad Schrock wrote: > > Summer Young wrote: > > > Could someone please fill me in....I'm really lost.
