Johnny Cash: Sings the Songs That Made Him Famous
Classic Sun Records Johnny Cash record from the 50s. His last record for Sun, includes classics like I Walk the Line, Ballad of a Teenage Queen and Big River. Great stuff from a lergend.

JOHNNY CASH!!! Now there's an underappreciated legend!

I heard one of the best cryin' in your beer songs by him the other day called' "Hurt".

Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way


My LOTW:

Bjork - Vespertine (Still like this better than the new one)
Shins - Chutes Too Narrow (Doesn't have legs for me)
Modest Mouse - Good News!!! (Love, love love this one!)

Coming soon: Elton John - Madman Across the Water and the Tumbleweed One...

I've fallen into the SB trap before (Exploding White Mice, anyone?), so I choose to say nothing about this.

Bjork - Vespertine (Still like this better than the new one)

Yeah, but isn't Medulla a cool departure? I really enjoy it, but admittedly it's not something that I listen to every day.

But, but, butt... it wasn't my fault Genie in a Bottle! It was that cranky guy at the german kaffehaus that refused to take my Canadian money order! He was probably too busy spanking his monkey....

Yeah, but you still played me to even get to that stage. How soon we forget, eh? I thought you probably really knew "Hurt" was a NIN song and were just "playing" blonde.

Regarding spanking his monkey, that could be true, especially if he didn't know about this wonderful product:

[Dusty Chalk]

I like-a Laika, so I-a been listening to-a Good Looking Blues, Sounds of the Satellites, Wherever I am, I am what is missing and...whatever, that fourth one. I can't find that two-disc best-of/rarities set.

Also, that Porcupine Tree, and Nine Inch Nails' With-a Teeth-a.

And some MFSL stuff, before I sell it.

Izz, I Move -- I am still blown over by how good this is.

Mars Volta, Frances the Mute -- some really dang long songs on this. When I ripped and reburned it for the car, found out that several of those songs have subsections, but then some of them are already pre-broken-up for me. Weird, huh?

I'm sure there are other things I've listened to other things, but WRT reporting them...



Did you know...?
"Hurt" was originally by Nine Inch Nails

[Slosh]

Snowbunny, please stop being sooo blonde!

[Snowbunny]

Snowbunny, please stop being sooo blonde!

What'd I say??? Did somebody send me that song on a comp or sumpin?

JFTR, I am currently uploading all of your comps onto my mp3 player so it will be All Slosh All the Time. Or at least until I'm as sick of the songs, as I am of your silly signature line! Freshen up, will ya, Sloshette!

[Slosh]

Nothing like that. Just that that song was big, and I mean fucking BIG long before Johnny $ every got ahold of it.

Hmmm . . . sig line. How about?

god is dead and no one cares, if there is a hell I'll see you there

Took Friday off, for a long weekend, so lots of car listening:

King Crimson 'The power to believe' -I believe its the best thing they've done recently.
Jon Luc Ponty 'handmade best of' - most of his albums had one or two good songs.
Frank Zappa 'The Grand Wazoo' -Cletus Awreetus Alrightus is killer.
Farpointe 'Crying in the rain'
PT 'Deadwing' -by the 5th listen it connected. Funny how I always enjoy them most on long car rides, that's happened with all their albums.
Riverside 'Out of myself' -wanted to compare this to PT back to back. It was a tie, this is a great album if you like PT, sounds most like TSMSideways.
Allman Bros 'Hitting the note' - bulls eye.

Johnny Cash fans: Theres a movie about his lifestory coming out in November, with Joaquin Pheonix playing the man in black. Should be interesting, I like Joaquin's acting.

And some MFSL stuff, before I sell it.

Okay, Dusty, help me out here. I finally figured out RIYL and the only thing that comes to mind when I see MF is, well, a guy who really loves his mother...

Get outta town! That's pretty amazing!

MFSL: manly female seeks lesbian

Dusty's just going thru another phase.

MFSL==Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs -- a record label that specializes in limited edition high quality pressings of classic music titles. For example, I had three sealed copies of Jethro Tull's Living in the Past (one of the holy grails of MFSL collectors). One, I put a Buy It Now of US$100, and it sold in like 4 hours, most of which were pre-dawn. So the second one I put a Buy It Now of US$150, and a reserve of US$100, and it hit reserve in under 24 hours (it's going to sell in like a day).

The third one I'll probably open. And listen to. Once. Then sell it. I'll probably get less than US$100 for it just for doing that, but you know what? I don't care. I want to hear it. At least once. I can't have my grubby little hands on it, and pass up the opportunity to listen to it. There's a couple I have duplicates of, but some I'm just selling, even though I only had one copy. (Like, remind me, for example, why I sold my only copy of Pink Floyd's Meddle?!?!? What was I thinking?!?!?)

So when I say I've been listening to some MFSL, I mean things like Pink Floyd, and Eric Clapton, and Supertramp, and lots of other classic rock type stuff. U2, Blue Oyster Cult, ...

Yeah. Cash did a really good job of making that song his own. You should hear the NINny version.

Oh, and in her defense -- it was only huge if you were already into NIN.

If ever you get chance to see the video I guarantee it will bring a lump to your throat and a tear to your eye
