Considering that I don't have my disk yet, it won't be much of a mystery anymore will it?
Thanks for ruining my fun you guys. :frown5:

That goober Bobsticks gave it up, all we did was guess. As for you, the late delivery can be blamed on your location in the United States of Canada.

Also noteworthy, I still listen to albums as a complete work, so you're right about that too.
The MD is, indeed, The Cowboy Junkies from a far off garage recording unearthed years later. My buddy Patrick is a musical journeyman at a young age having toured with the Horde Tour and done some sound work with Shania Twain amongst other dubious accomplishments. According to him the Calrec Ambisonic mic that was used in this session is a bit of a cult piece and still commands a ridiculous price. Whether you liked the music itself one would be hard pressed to deny the results especially considering that this was a one track/take kinda dealio.

Credit Finchy for first correct response but it seems as if everyone got it pretty quickly. I'll hav eto dig deeper into my bag of obscurity next time.
First off Sticks, whatever your burn process is, my two main players can never seem to read your disks. No worries tho, they play in my Denon DVD player and if I just make copies with Nero, they play fine on all players.
I only have a CJ comp as I never heard of the band until a few years ago when we did the Classic Samplers. Still, it was enough to identify the voice for a correct score.
LOL, and I thought I was going to be way off and it was a band I never heard of. So, kudos to RR for enlightening me once again. There is so much I would never have listened to if I had not been here.
Troy,
I thought the same thing. Song after song sounded the same.
Cheers!

Incredible sounding disc, Sticks. Is it from the CD layer on the recent Mofi SACD, or the original? In either case, mastered very well. Tons of dynamics. I'd never heard their debut before, and Margo almost sounds like PJ Harvey when she gets that deep into deconstructing those old blues tunes.
Thanks for all the stuff! Saturday I picked up a couple CDs from the library, got a couple from you in the mail, and a couple others I'd bought from the amazon marketplace too. Yikes, talk about overload! And the Tom Waits I got from the library is 3 discs!

That's funny. His discs won't read in my computer, or the left well of my stand-alone burner/player. It will play in the right well, however. :arf:
I pm'd him thanking him for the discs, and offered up my guess as to who it was. One of these days, I'll get the rules right. :nono:

I'm digging the Rammstein- thanks again bobsticker.

You'll get nothing and like it ya Spaulding-assed bastage. HyFi might get something outta Finchey's spliff-o-matic drawer if he plays his cards right.

It's the MoFi cd layer and it is fantastic. Those boys know what they're doing for sure. I hadn't picked up on the Polly Jean part but it's different I suppose when you know what it is going into it.
Elf Pee I think you're the only one that got the Rammstein as I acquired it fairly well into the MD production cycle. The "back cover" was actually a recreation of the "Live Aus Berlin" disc which is what I assume I was getting. Same setlist but clearly a different show and, just as clearly, a boot from the board. One of the funner discs I've come across in awhile.

That's not a reward...

Hey, watch it. If you recall, this is the first time in some 20 years that a Canadian team was not even in the finals. Oh, and guess who knocked out the #1 seed with relative ease?
Oh yeah, it was the Flyers who had the worst record last year! Just the fact that we are there is awesome since Montreal was supposed to wipe us all over the ice....NOT.
Go Flyers!!!
Hey but if the Penguins do win, It's still a PA team and Swish and I are still able to thumb our noses at Canada's slacker teams who couldn't even get their sorry asses into the finals.

I was yanking Swishy's chain. The truth is that I don't give a crap who wins. You want me to root for the Flyers? GO FLYERS!

That puts you into the 90 percentile of Americans, FA. The NHL's relevance is so reduced in this country that they could only get a cable contract for TV, and that's some obscure specialty channel called VS (versus), which shows rodeo, cage fighting, Cops reruns and other shows like that when they're not showing NHL.
BTW, I watch Versus for everything else but hockey ;)

NBC has been carrying NHL games for awhile now.

Yeah, but the Flyers on on Versus..

...or VS or whatever they go by. I have the channel, in HI-DEF no less, so it's fine by me. As for the popularity of hockey sinking, it's no worse than the NBA. I'm not saying it was ever as popular as the NBA, just that the erosion of the fan base on a percentage basis is probably about the same, or worse, than the NHL.

I know, just thought Swishy could use a little backup as he has been taking the heat solo for a while.

I will do ya all one better. I am reduced to listening to the games on WIP 610 Sports Radio on AM on a little tiny boom box cause I'm too cheap (frugal) to have cable.
I always think about getting it just for hockey playoffs and then turning it off but it's not economical.

I have a theory on this that's not necessarily flattering to the audience. Hockey is a skill game but has been not generally percieved as one by the North American audience...and they don't want it that way. There's a reason the "Broadstreet Bullies" are legendary and the influx of European talent hasn't had the desired effect unless you consider acceptance by the PTA moms of America success.
I'm pretty sure if you were watching this live you remember where you were that night, whether you were truly invested in either team...

My disks finally arrived in yesterday's mail.
I don't understand why I can order stuff from Amazon.com and it arrives in under a week, yet stuff from the members of this board frequently takes two to three weeks to arrive.
I'm looking forward to spinning the not-so-mysterious-anymore disk as well as the additional goodies. :)

Thanks for goodies 'sticks. I've never been a big fan of the CJs, but to be fair I've never given them a fair shot. I don't mind this disk so much, there's some nice stuff on it. But I see myself spinning this as background music, not something that I'd put on for the sake of really listening to.
I liked the Richard Hawley quite a bit. Its something different from my usual fare and, again, not something that I can see myself spinning regularly but maybe nice when relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine.
I've been spinning it at work and it's a good disk to clear my head to.
Thanks!

Je suis en retard. I have been enjoying my discs for a while. I have always loved Margo's voice so I loved the disc and included it with my other CJ discs. 'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel!
