Which album do you have listed as "Live"? I've not heard of that one...
Also, I'm with you on the whole editing of She's An Angel on STD... what is
the point? I love the "like now" line, and it doesn't make any sense to cut
it... that's one of the reasons I hardly ever listen to STD... Also, I
didn't notice the Kit Kat Acoustic Break in there.... and I was wondering
how the McSweeny's disc is... I really didn;t care for the track they put on
emusic...

If memory serves me right, Live in New York was packaged with John Henry in
Australian pressings.

A couple of replies bundled into one wacky message.

>If memory serves me right, Live in New York was packaged with John Henry
>in Australian pressings.

Just a 6-track version.  The full version was sent to members of the Hello Recording Club and radio stations, and quite a few copies from those uncaring radio stations filtered out to stores like Mod Lang in Berkeley, which is where I snagged an unopened copy a few years ago.

>that's one of the reasons I hardly ever listen to STD...

The biggest reason I hardly ever listen to STD is that it sucks.  :)

>Also, I didn't notice the Kit Kat Acoustic Break in there....

I got an original from an ultra-cool college radio station in the Midwest.  I contacted over a hundred college radio stations, begging for a copy of the disc, and my one and only response, positive or negative, was from the station that sent me the disc.  Such sweet, wonderful people out there.  I would've stolen it from _my_ college's radio station, but someone already beat me to it.

I got an original "Dr. Spock's Backup Band" from the notorious Tunnel Records in Tampa.  All of these rare discs can be tracked down with enough persistance, but with programs like Napster, the incentive really isn't there anymore, I guess.

Kristen Maxwell:

It's essentially a Severe Tire Damage sampler, released together with
another disc called "Best of the Early Years."

What are the other reasons?  Personally, my main complaint is that it seems
not to have been prepared all that well.  As far as I know, they only
recorded a few shows, and were often stuck with not-so-great recordings of
certain songs (I'd say "Ana Ng" and "Why Does The Sun Shine?" fit in that
category).  I still like the album, but I like it less than any of TMBG's
studio albums.

sorry, i don't have an answer but rather, a few questions of my own.
has anyone been able to find any good bookstores that carry McSweeny's
Quarterly Concern?  which section would it be in?  i'm a retard and i
hate waiting for stuff in the mail.  even though it is great to have
stuff delivered to you.  i definitely plan to get it. i just hope i'm
not too late.

cheers,
marco

Hello again,

Weezer rocks!  I just downloaded the new album today (I plan to buy it
tomorrow, don't worry!) and just had to let everyone know how much it rocks.

It is a bit short, 28:20 or so, but it rocks hard!  A complete departure
from the departure that was pinkerton and a return to the "blue album"
sound.  Does that make sense?...

Anyway, if you're a weezer fan, make sure to buy the cd.  it really does
rock!

Hey everone,

Would someone out there be so kind as to type up a list of the material
released in the May issue of Unlimited?  As a nonsubscriber I like to keep
up to date with the material being released.

Thanks!
