Mal ,'Ariel'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I'm not sure if the version I want is on Popular Favorites 1976-1992/Sand In the Vaseline or if that version is the same as on 77.
I'm fairly sure that song wasn't on '77 unless it was put onto an expanded version. There's a great live version on The Name of this Band is..., or at least the expanded version CD I have. I'm not sure which one is on the Favorites CD or the box set that came out a couple of years ago.
I own Sand In The Vaseline and the version on that is 2:56 if that helps. Says it was recorded at Sundragon Studios, NYC.
I'm fairly sure that song wasn't on '77 unless it was put onto an expanded version.
You're right. And I just checked my iPod and saw that my 77 doesn't have it, so I'm not 100% that version is not the one I want.
There's a great live version on The Name of this Band is...
Yeah, that version has always been there.
The version I want has trumpets and what-not....
Sand in the Vaseline's version has horns.
Ooh. That's pro'lly the one I want. Thanks.
Of course, Sand in the Vaseline is mostly songs I already have. Lemme' see if iTunes has it....
I'm listening to it right now. I'd send it to you, but I only have it on CD right now. If you need instant gratification, iTunes is faster!
I just heard that the Village Voice laid off Robert Christgau.
iTunes has a partial copy of Sand in the Vaseline but it has the song I want. Plus some (maybe all) of the other songs I don't have.
I love the ability to just buy the tracks I want from an album....
heard any good tunes lately?
I downloaded a Smithsonian Folkways album of Colombian music that is wonderful. I have been downloading tons of latin/mariachi and South American stuff lately and this is the best I've found so far.
It's called Si, soy llanero: Joropo Music from the Orinoco Plains of Colombia: >[link]
I just heard that the Village Voice laid off Robert Christgau.
I've been waiting for him to either quit or get fired. I think he has been doing some great stuff lately, too.
The Christgau firing was part of a larger senior editorial/art dept. purge according to gawker: [link]
There can't hardly be anyone from the former regime left at the Voice at this point...
