    Ahhrrrh, Mateys... a little pirate help if you will?
    This is probably completely inappropriate to ask, but how the heck did you guys burn Wilco - YHF? I have an iMac at home and a PC at work, but I cannot seem to copy it.

    The other day I heard the neighbours daughter listening to Good News - Modest Mouse! She was sitting on the roof(?) and when I looked up at her she asked if the music was too loud and I said "Not if its Modest Mouse - crank it up!" She was completely shocked that I had the same taste in music and asked if I had the new one. I don't so she put it on for me and promised to burn a copy for me! Since she had never heard Wilco, I said I'd trade YHF with her.

    I've burned a few disks I think she'd like (she's a Doors fan) but I did promise to burn her a copy of Wilco, so I'd like to keep my word.

    I know it can be done because they are on more than a few comps I've received. I'd LOVE a comp of new music if anyone's still making them. I am a little out of the loop her in the Loops. :frown5:

    Why don't you lend her the disk and see if she can rip it. She's probably going to rip it to MP3 eventually anyhow.

    You are one smart cookie, Essie! I have a feeling that's just what she'll do. I feel like a dinosaur actually buying the cds. LOL

    I was going to tell her not to bother burning the new MM, but we were having a bonding moment and I didn't want to spoil it.

    If you're a Modest Mousekeeter I'd take a chance on the new one. The best since Moon and Antarctica in my opinion.

    I actually like the YHF demos better than the released cd itself. A lot less dense, more accessible.

    Really? I wasn't going to get this one, but I think you just pushed me over the edge. My wallet curses you.

    Is that a hint? If I find the demo copy it won't be copy protected? :lol:

    That's interesting about the demo, though. What's different about it?

    Geez, I'd hate to find out what happens when a wallet curses you! I better PM you, maf! :eek:

    Speaking of vinyl, and I can be off topic because its my thread...


    Fiery Crash by Andrew Bird

    turnstiles on mezzanine
    jet ways and Dramamine fiends
    and x-ray machines
    you were hurling through space
    g-forces twisting your face
    breeding superstition
    a fatal premonition
    you know you got to envision
    the fiery crash

    oh close your eyes and you wake up
    face stuck to a vinyl settee
    oh the line was starting to break up
    just as you were starting to say
    something apropos I don't know

    beige tiles and magazines
    Lou Dobbs and the CNN team
    on every monitor screen
    you were caught in the crossfire
    where every human face
    has you reaching for your mace
    so it's kind of an imposition
    fatal premonition

    to save our lives you've got to envision
    and to save all our lives you've got to envision
    the fiery crash

    it's just a formality
    why must I explain?
    just a nod to mortality
    before you get on a place

    oh close your eyes and you wake up
    face stuck to a vinyl settee
    oh the line was starting to break up
    what was that you were going to say?


    Don't you think the line in red should be before you get on a plane?

    Must be a typo...
