Re: Careful! List newbie on the floor!
hi. welcome aboard.
> Anyway, I'm just getting my feet wet with OTR, having heard a few of their
songs on the radio. What would be a good choice for a first album purchase?

i think you might as well go with Good Dog. It seems that that's the
direction L/K wanna take their music now, so if you're new, you might
as well pick up from the current point of departure. Eve's a great choice,
and although it's my personal fave, too, it's
a) too hard to find
and
b) a style they are moving away from as fast as you might move from a house
fire. in a sense, why bother? (heheheh, a little punny reference!)
if you like Alanis Morrisette, would you really want her disco-y album from
years before? (used as allegory; i have no idea or care if you like ms
morrisette or not)
> One more Q before I click the send button. Is "Amateur Shortwave Radio"
considered a "greatest hits" type of album?
call it what you will, they call it a 10-year-retrospective. greatest
hits works for me, but with the caveat that OtR doesn't have any hits.
> It seems to have a lot of overlap with the earlier ones. Would it be
better just to get that one, or skip it altogether in favor of the earlier
ones?
>
yeah, but then you'd be skipping __Moth__ and __Anyway__ and those are
worth the price of admission alone.
Or......invalidating the point i was making earlier, maybe you could get
the nice __Besides__ album, and then you'd get the totally ass-kickin'
live version of __If I'm Drowning.__ that goes on car-repeat all the
time.
(i'm gonna miss brian).
alright, Chris, you've been warned. make your best decision. (how wrong
can you go?)
