And I still haven't even gotten mine yet. Boo. (I'm not whining; just anxious to get it!) |
Me neither.... I thought that when I didn't get it at Sunday's concert, it would be OK because it would be waiting for me when I came home from vacation. D'oh! I feel like Homer Simpson. |
My wife just called to inform me it came in today. WooHoo! I feel like Homer Simpson.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder if I did something to cause the USPS to hate me. Could they be a tad ticked that I've had eight different addresses in the past 18 months? I never received my grad school admissions notification letter, and that was coming from barely forty miles away. I can only imagine what might've happened between Missouri and Virginia...

Ooo yeah
I just loooooove 'medley'!
Posted by John Foxe on 07-28-2007 at17:52:
Sorry, one more
'humble man' - another AWESOME one! Are you getting the idea I'm going crazy over this recording?
I hope I convince someone on the edge to take the leap...

Mine came today. I was working on a construction project and my wife was kind enough to put it on my iPod so I could listen whilst I worked! Love it!

Mine came today. I've already put it on my ipod and made a CD-R for the car.

Caveman Room is one of the favorites: It offers a cave-like atmosphere, with solid rock floors, walls and ceilings! Even a rock shower, where you can relax under a waterfall of warm water from above. The basins are solid rock and water flows down the rock to the basin below. A custom hand-crafted stained glass window lets soft, natural light into this truly unique setting.
This bathroom is one of the many unique features of the Caveman Room.

Ok, Captain ADD here was completely out of the loop. Apparently:
[21:25] Egnix: np: the midget, the speck & the molecule
[21:25] myriadphy: the what?
[21:26] Egnix: the midget,
[21:26] Egnix: , the speck
[21:26] Egnix: & the molecule
[21:26] myriadphy: whoa
[21:26] myriadphy: i didn't know it was out
[21:27] Egnix: yup
[21:27] myriadphy: how is it?
[21:27] Egnix: only on track 2
[21:28] myriadphy: well, i'll be dipped
[21:29] myriadphy: i went out to the mailbox, and what did I see?
[21:30] myriadphy: i went out earlier today and nothing was there. I guess the mail was late today
[21:30] myriadphy: but oh so effective. I've got it!
[21:31] Egnix: :-D
[22:05] myriadphy: I'm glad to hear something with a little more energy and pace from Terry and the boys. The LD stuff is good, but I really most like the harder, edgier stuff. This is a breath of fresh, rocky, air

Ive heard all the tracks..
I think every song is top rate (well with THAT exception- though its a great sounding song..perhaps with the old
"
Your the ***** who named me Sue"
or
"Dont give me that Do Goodie Good Bull***"
censorship I can make it work..
Its a (gup- I'll say it!) WELL WORTH WAITING FOR Rockin Ready recording..
Verry Eddies..and Very Good..

I am working on my review of the album, but may not actually get it posted here for a couple of days.
Posted by jiminy on 08-02-2007 at09:11:
I wish to post some detail thoughts after a bit more study on the lyrical content..
but what is initially sticking out (fer me) is the wonderful "continuation" idea..
this is me now...
but snow in a can reminds me of a Snowball reprise
and the entire hitchiker theme (which I love btw..I mean really love) - to me is the continuation of the Urban Legend...when I picked up~!
and title track is threaded so wonderfully into that thought ...It just brings the Eddies up to date for me..
Love the LP (He heeeee)
love the band.....

I am with you on that Sir Markness....
I believe with each major release one must take time to savor all of the intricacies of said release. Personally I like to listen many times over; each in a new venue (if you will). Just yesterday for example I was able to listen to MSM without interruption while cleaning my garage. I currently have it playing on my pc as I type this and later today I plan to listen again on my iPod while mowing the grass.
As with a fine wine, one must not pass judgment so quickly. One must look at the bottle and labeling, examine the cork, allow the wine to breathe, observe the color and body, and inhale the bouquet, all before even tasting it.
These Swirlistic Masters we all so dearly love and admire have once again presented us with a gift of Love Grapes. The question is this vintage Dom. Romane Conti 1997 ($1,540 a bottle) or Boones Farm Strawberry Hill ($3.97 a bottle).
Before we all quickly cast our pious and sanctimonious critiques of MSM, take time and let’s spin the CD a time or two more… let the rhythms take you, listen to the bass line and grasp the essence of what Sir Cam is trying to communicate.
Whoa Nelly,
Shemp

I agree with all of that, usually with an album I absorb the mood first. Then I start grasping sort of the general direction or overall 'theme' which is probably a representation of where the lyrisist might happen to be at the time of writing. Then I start pondering the details of lyrics and applying them to situations and disecting them in my head. The whole time I play the album over and over and over, at home and in the car.
I've said this before but with Terry I generally think there is often a surface point and an underlying point to each song. Sort of like he may be telling the story of something that actually happened and making an obvious point there, but also using that situation as an example of a deeper point that applies spiritually and universally. Sort of a here is what happened in my life and some of what I learned. Or here is where we all are as fallen children, but by pointing that out the point is really that we shouldn't be like that. Something like "Mall All Over The World" or "Real Girls" are not only a true commentary on what is happening in the world they are an example of what is going wrong with the world. How we have things backwards as a culture.

yeah..... the first time i played dfbb i was disappointed...
cuz it wasn't like the alarma chronicles...
i was 18 then, so i didn't know anything...
several years later i realized it by far surpassed the alarma chronicles or anything Da has done before or after....
i loved mbd on the first listen, but have kinda grown tired of half the songs on that one.....
yeah, a good album has to be absorbed over time....
same thing with zoom daddy...
didn't like it so much at first cuz it wasn't like ls or oe....
then i read all the ranting and raving about it here by people like carl, and other people that know a lot more about music then i do...
so i played it again.... and again...
now it's my fav se cd.....
although that may change shortly....
too soon to say......
