I did not expect to come down with a stomach virus, nor that I would have to rush my son to the emergency room with an excruciating earache on Sunday night. Didn't get home till 2:30a.m., and missed out on a excellent South Australia grenache/siraz. Charlotte is...strange. Excellent restaurants, but try to find a funky- bohemian district. Just try, I dare you. Plus, have you ever been in the middle of a large city to find you're the ONLY person walking outside? It's like twilight zone man. On the upside, I will be eternally grateful to Brixx Pizza for helping me discover McLaren Vale Tatachilla, and to Manifest Records for having in their stacks used CD's of the Gufs, PJ Harvey, and Pietasters, all three for $15. Now, let the discussion resume.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summerfest Pictures ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK, if anyone is interested, I shot a roll of film during the Summerfest concert with an expensive camera that I borrowed (ahh, the perks of working at a camera store...), and a lot of them turned out pretty good. So I put them on Kodak Photonet (ahh, another perk), and you're certainly more than welcome to check them out - just follow the directions below. They'll be up and available until Aug 21... Go to http://www.wolfcamera.com In the Photonet login box that you will see, enter your email address as: rhc75a enter your password as Femmes Once you're logged in, click on "View & Share" Hope you like them, I was pretty pleased with the results! rob=) rhc75a ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Blind Leading the Naked and Femmes ETc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Quick question: On the tape version of Blind Leading the Naked, there > was an extra song that is not on the CD version. Of course, long ago > I gave away my tapes to a needy friend after buying all the albums on > CD. And now I can't remember what song that was! You're not hallucinating - there is indeed a tape-only bonus track on TBLT. It is a nice, slowish tune called World Without Mercy that if I remember correctly is sung by Victor DeLorenzo. I expected to never get the chance to hear this song until i saw the tape in a thrift store for 50 cents. And on this subject of rare tunes, I have an idea for a new thread: What VF songs have you never heard? I'm talking rarities that you know exist, but can't find ANYWhere. For example: I know the Femmes have a tune called Peter Jest that was on one of those impossible to find singles, but i don't think I'll ever hear it! Or their cover of My Way, which was/is on a real audio clip on their webpage. Or No More Heroes (from the Mystery Men soundtrack) which fortunately was on Napster. I know there are others - there should be a collection! Discuss! Josh heyzeus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: The Blind Leading the Naked ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The extra song on the Blind Leading the Naked is "World Without mercy" Victor sings tacora24 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: The Blind Leading the Naked ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "World Without Mercy", which is at the end of side 1 following "Love & Me Make Three". And Candlelight Song is before "Two People" at the end of side 2, rather than before "I held her in my arms" What I wouldn't give to hear "Good Friend" or "Faith" live! Cheers, Michelle MMStevens18 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: The Blind Leading the Naked ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ World Without Mercy is the last song on Side One of The Blind Leading The Naked. It is not on the CD. I too got rid of my tapes, later to hunt all over for a used one. Found it. Is it worth it? Yes and no. I like the song a lot, but after being spoiled by CD sound quality listening to a tape can hurt! Does anyone know why this song was dropped from the CD? Is it on the LP? Erik"36" Foisy thehappycyclops -Pat. Says: It is not on the American LP, at least not the one I bought way back when the album was first released. But read on... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: The Blind Leading the Naked ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The other track is also on the English import CD that I have. It is a Victor song called "World Without Mercy", if I recall correctly. I can look find out for sure when I get home. However, I am about 95% certain that's what is called. Jesse jesse ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Video Question ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ does anyone know a spot online where those of us who are cable deprived (stupid parents) can see some of the new videos? I really am looking to see Sleepwalking and All I Want in particular... thanks rob=) rhc75a ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
