I took all my SY mp3s and created a folder with TDR tracks in its original tracklisting order, so by my windows media player it says the album will be 79 minutes and 33 seconds (where 3 of the 12 tracks will take around 60% of the album..).
|
fuck sake. you think they could have made up another 26 seconds of stuff to give us a full disc??? selfish bastards!!!!
|
I still wish they would have just done a more complete collection by doing some kind of multi-disc package.
|
Yeah, why won't they do anything before the geffen era.
|
DUDE
Oh that's okay, I hardly even-- MAUDE Here's the name and number of a doctor who will look at it for you. You will receive no bill. He's a good man, and thorough. DUDE That's really thoughtful but I-- MAUDE Please see him, Jeffrey. He's a good man, and thorough. |
i know, a b-sides and rarities collection from sy can easily fill one sexy box set, but a 12 tracks cd is just not enough, it's a disgrace!
|
You're a good man, and thorough.

In Fairness. We Should Be Fucking Grateful Of At Least This Release. I Have Most Of The Songs Already But Not The Artwork And Packaging And Liner Notes. Im Actually Looking Forward To This Release And They Will Be Of Better Quality Without Any Mp3 Angels Whispers On Em!

i fucking love that movie. i just saw it again recently. they had a showing in some building on campus and "the dude" that jeff bridge's character was based on came and talked to us. he had some interesting stories, but he's not all that much like the big lebowski. he's not burnt out like that--he's some producer. co-founded the sundance film festival and other shit. |
This is what happens, Larry, when you FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS!!!!
best film ever.......never a day goes by i don't quote it. even the wife calls me 'Dude'............. |
Life Does Not Stop And Start At Your Convenience, You Miserable Piece Of Shit!

i am the walrus
|
well, that's just like . . . your opinion, man.
|
geffen can easily make a most delicious rarities and b-sides collection.. let's hope for a better tomorrow.
in the meantime, i dunno if anyone saw it but here's the front cover. a bit obvious, to my opinion, becuz of the title, but it is a nice photo. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...n=5174&s=music |
The cover is fantastic!
|
I'm not sure about "fantastic" - it's a bit too literal for that. I wonder who did the artwork?
|
This cover sucks. It's just a pic of the destroyed room by Jeff Wall.
God, I even wanted to post this pic some weeks ago as a joke! Edit - this looks like a fake cover, though it is through amazon. Edit II - Real, just plain ugly |
Yep,looks a bit "fake" but it could be the real one too...mistery ensuing.
|
Whatever.I think the fact that it is so graphic works very well with a band like them but then i am pretty ace and you are not.

Buh, I quite like it, mainly because it reminds me of NYC G&F booklet's inner pages, and I love those. Now I'll celebrate with a new avatar.

 I like it...The Destroyed Room - Jeff Wall 1978 'My first pictures like The Destroyed Room emerged from a re-encounter with nineteenth-century art', Wall has said. Here, the work in question is The Death of Sardanapalus (1827) by Eugène Delacroix, which depicts the Assyrian monarch on his deathbed, commanding the destruction of his possessions and slaughter of his concubines in a last act of defiance against invading armies. Wall echoes Delacroix's composition, with its central sweeping diagonal and sumptuous palette of blood reds, while acknowledging its staged atmosphere by re-composing the scene as a roughly fabricated stage-set, absent of any players. 'Through the door you can see that it's only a set held up by supports, that this is not a real space, this is no-one's house,' he has commented. Though clearly a woman's bedroom, the cause of the violence is unexplained, leaving the viewer to speculate on the sequence of events. |
 The Death of Sardanapalus - Eugène Delacroix 1827 |
Thanks for that Toxic Johnny!

My guess is that the photograph was the original inspiration for the song... or they saw the title and decided to use it... so they are merely revealing the source by using it on the sleeve of the compilation... not being throwaway or too literal as some people have mentioned.
I'm willing to bet on it. |
i also assumed they titled their song (which for some reason is NOT on the album) coz it's a photo reflectting the band's taste in art. one of a million, to be exact :)
|
I like the fact that the delicate figurine still stands safely in place, aloof and unaffected by the chaos surrounding it. It suggests that the room was destroyed in a deliberate and almost controlled act, as though someone was searching for some hidden item rather than through anger.
|
It is not only a good image but also a disburbing one on a par with this one:
 The feeling that violence or mental illness inhabited the room is quite powerful. |
I was kind of thinking of mental illness or paranoia, or something along those lines. Searching for something that's entirely in the mind of the searcher.
|
porkmarras: your dancing cat reminds me of the character Cat Kit from Rakuga Kids, a silly beat-em-up game on the N64. He had a taunt very similar to that.
|
haha.Thanks Hip Priest.I've found the image particularly affecting because it reminds me of going to see a friend who has some anger management problems and takes it out on the furniture of his flat.Spotting the odd door missing or something smashed and left on the floor makes me feel slightly uncomfortable round his,sometimes.
|
the destroyed room - as an expression of frustration this isn't wholly invalid
|
the destroyed room- a dirty era b side reworking of an old goo era instrumental, they put a kim vocal on it and ruined the song hence the bedroom became the destroyed room......
not making a point just randomly posting........... |
*edit*
|
ok just started it and fire engine dream is completely kicking my ass right now.
|
|
Thanks for the link.
|
we got the album at the radio station i work for, and i seem to remember it being a band photo on the cover. i was a bit drunk when i saw it, though, so i could be wrong.
|
maybe your radio station has a promo copy? there's a band photo (with jim o'rourke) on the back. i saw it in the shops yesterday, but didn't buy it yet.

The above 'extra' quote is by Paulbeebee ..sp ?... Anyway...I just got this cd. There are only 11 tracks on it....it doesn't have "It's my body" the the originial thread starter says is on it..... He said it was 79+ minutes and mine is 76+ minutes....It's my body is 2:52...so there's the discrepancy. Does anyone know what happened ? Where's the error ? In the intial tracklist ? I already have it's my body on, I think, the Goo deluxe edition...so I won't miss it...but I wonder why they left it off....hmmmm... And....The Bedroom was supposed to be on it...with added vocals ?....I don't quite understand.... Anyone help ?...thanx... |
