Smoke from a Lithium Dream

[Davey]

Got an old fashioned burn and post compilation if anyone is up for some of that dead moon in the jaws type of twilight sound. Mostly gapless (or maybe I meant to say toothless), so not really built to spill into your latest ipod random mix-a-thon. More like a series of little viginettes, meant to stay put, but hey, tunes are toons, just some music that I've listened to a lot in the last year or so, but many of you know what that means...probably kind of depressing, lot of that southern gothic godawful Americana sound, though it tends to make me feel good. So bite me

Anyway, no need to post a weather report when you can just look outside your window, tune is the same as the days past, post or pm with the confidential bits wherever you think they belong. No trades required, reviews always a fun bonus, good or bad...

Originally titled Autumn Sweater, for the mood and time of the season, and..well..maybe, just because once in awhile... Yo La Tengo is just about perfect. But retitled and edited slightly for this exclusive Rave Recordings special (and did I say yet "limited time") offer. The new title comes from the Josh Ritter semi-closer. Heaven's just a thin blue line. The fruit trees of Eden and the gardens that seem to float like the smoke from a lithium dream.

Heaven is so big there ain’t no need to look up, so I stopped looking for royal cities in the air... only a full house gonna have a prayer.

That looks pretty good. I could pretty much make that comp myself so save yourself a CDR.

Looks good, though I think you put Autumn Sweater on another comp a few years back (its in current MP3 rotation). I saw Popular Songs at the Rekkid store a few weeks ago - any good?

Good catch, just checked and it was on the 1997 Retro comp that Snowbunny and I put together. YLT has been featured on a few of my comps in the past, mostly from my favorites Electr-o-pura and Heart Beating as One. I haven't actually heard any of their records since And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out, but can't really imagine a bad one. If you like the sound, they are consistently very good.

You got it. Perfect timing too, I was just about to throw that last one out with the trash on my way to work. Might have some coffee grounds and chicken juice on it, but should play OK by the time it lands in your hood. On its way, like smoke from a ...

funny, seeing your local reminds of one of your earlier comps. My music collection reflects much compage from back in the day.

YLT is the only overlap I can see.

Uh, English, Please?

Yeah, Dave's musings tend to be a little convoluted at times and I'm quite certain his phraseology is too labyrinthine for your diminutive comprehension.

Lol- nice.

Whew, that's a relief. I was worried it might just be me.

I got your comp in the mail today, and was happy to see the plastic case was smashed to bits just like most of my deliveries from DeepDiscount.com. The CDR is fine though, and I'll be spinning it tomorrow. Just got done setting up my new Dell PC, and it's sweeeeeeeeeeet! What a pain transferring about 30 gigs of files though. The rest was a proverbial piece of cake, especially with Windows 7.

He he! I couldn't resist, but Finch started it. I got your comp in the mail today, and was happy to see the plastic case was smashed to bits just like most of my deliveries from DeepDiscount.com.

Just like the old days... now I remember why we quit doing this mailbox thing. Hours spent picking songs, sequencing, and sacrificing to get the flow just right, and then burning, artwork, printing, trimming, addressing, stuffing, and finally the trip to the PO to be confronted by long lines and rising costs, followed by the wait, and then word of broken CDs, missing packages, and .. oh well, call me old-fashioned. Or just old. Glad it got there fast, if not exactly in one piece .

...while we're on the subject ...??

Yea, sometimes I even surprise myself how dumb I can be. Probably not fooling any of you, though
