10,000 Maniacs/Let the Mystery Be



Hi!  They recorded it on MTV Unplugged.  Unfortunately, it didn't make the CD.  However, they released a single of the song "Few and Far Between".    This contains the songs:
 
Few and Far Between
Candy Everybody Wants (Live w/ Michael Stipe)
To Sir With Love (Live w/ Michael Stipe)
Let the Mystery Be (Live w/ David Byrne)
 
Also, there is an Import called Scarlett Garden.  It's a double disc and well worth the purchase.  It's a live concert and towards the end there are extras such Let the Mystery Be (w/ David Byrne), Jolene, Dallas (aslo, w/ David Byrne), and Everyday is like Sunday.
 
Hope this was helpful!

Hey, I've *read* that book. It's completely impenetrable prose for the most
part (if you thought the Architect's speech was hard to follow, forget about
Baudrillard), but there are some good nuggets in there. Like "the desert of
the real", although it's not meant q! uite the way it's used in the film. One of
the things I loved about the first film was this kind of play: the book had the
insides cut out, thus making it a simulation of a real book. And of course,
it's in the Matrix, so it's a simulation of a simulation of a book about
simulation. Not only that, but the chapter it's opened to is called "On
Nihilism", which is actually a chapter title in Baudrillard's book. And all
through M2, I was meditating on the deeper irony of a movie about the horror of
living in a computer simulation being presented to us largely as... a computer
simulation.

Is there a story here? ;-)

>>11:33 am - 10,000 Maniacs - Let The Mystery Be

Aa! This is *recorded* somewhere?!

I might have told this story here before, but I heard this by them (in, oh,
'92?) at a campus concert at Drexel University, and it stuck in my head.

For years. I knew it was a cover, I didn't know whose, and the internet is
not what it is today, so I really didn't spend much time looking it up.

Four or so years later I saw it quoted on someone's AOL profile, but not
attributed, and emailed the screenname. They told me they weren't aware that
10,000 Maniacs had covered it, and introduced me to Iris DeMent.

Which was a joy in and of itself... I bought the relevant CD that same week.

But I have never heard the 10,000 Maniacs version again... I think I was
assuming it was a one-off. Apparently not!

H! uh. I may hunt for an .mp3 of this, or if anyone knows where one is readily
available, I'd love to hear about it. :)

Anyway. It's 2am, I've been asleep on my couch since 9:30, and I'm headed to
bed.
Just thought I'd share. :)
