I can accept tape, DAT tape, and CDs. It you put something on a web site (MP3) I suppose I can download it and put it on a CD (that should be easy, right?) Let's extend the deadline until March 13. By then I'll be ready to move forward or simply say the project isn't meant to be (and I'll return the three items that have been sent thusfar). - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.

I had no idea it was on but heard it in the car. Mr E >introduced Lisa Germano, much to my surprise, as "an official member >of the Eels right now". She spoke, sang, played, helped choose >songs... She was name-checked at least 5 times by Mr E, probably >more. (And was wished a happy Valentine's day by the band, too.) yeah i heard it too.. i am a great eels fan (it's one of the two best bands in the world... seriously). i can't recieve radio 1 here in holland so i had to listen through real audio... but man, what a performance.. sorry.. yeah e gave lisa a lot of attention... it was the amazing drummer butch who wished lisa happy valentine's day... it was nice to hear her voice again... and she is now going on tour with the eels.. imagine... your favourite band of all time going on tour... with lisa germano playing in the band.. argh.. >The set was quite odd. I haven't heard anything from their new album >(is it out yet?) so the tracks weren't familiar; the set still >sounded really good to me but not to the band itself, which did >perhaps 5 songs, but seemed pretty unhappy with the way quite a few >of them turned out. the new cd is out soon.. the new single was released last monday in the uk but i haven't seen it here yet.. argh... i suppose you were a bit confused by the wicked humor of the eels... that session rocked so much and you could hear they were having a blast... >The Radio 1 format seemed to kill the the band off a bit. They were >left to their own devices to play as many songs as they wished to, >but someone hadn't told them that there'd be no "voice from above" in >between performances. So... there was lots of "What should we do now? >Do we just keep playing? Maybe we're not being broadcast any more. >Yeah, they probably pulled the plugs." that was really cool.. after the first song there was a silence of 20 seconds.. then e said 'oh i geuss we're supposed to keep playing???" >They continued and sounded better. There were moments when you could >hear distinctly Germano-like arrangements in the mix. Lisa led into >one song with a Glockenspiel-like instrument that Mr E named but I've >forgotten the name of. urr... celestthing... the song was flyswatter and the album version sucks but this version was so amazing!! oh... and lisa sang the 'chorus' of jeanies diary!!!! my god i felt like i was fainting... >Radio 1 live sessions were regularly released on vinyl and then CD a >few years ago; not sure if that's still happening but anyone >interested should e-mail Steve. At the worst, a regular Radio >1/Germano fan could find out when the session's likely to be repeated >and tape it. i know of at least 5 pple who taped that show... someone's probably going to put it on cd soon... but anyway just to tell you all GO TO THOSE EELS SHOWS!!! lisa germano is playing with them and it's great!!!!!!! oh and i don't think lisa will be an eels member forever from now on... eels is not really a band.. the only fixed people are e and butch after their first bass player left... she might go on playing with them occasionally, wich is great.. klm - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.
