the saga continues ...
i found a copy of _eve_ last weekend. "bothered" has a major
scratch in it, (oh, bother!) so i cannot hear it all the way through. at
any rate, _eve_ is an incredible recording. it definitely hooks the
listener on the first listen. "happy with myself" is such a tease.
"daddy untwisted" just rocks. the guitar playing is a real treat. i now
understand why passions run so deep on this. (i agree, mr. emery, _eve_
is a very sultry recording!)
(on a quick side note, trina shoemaker recorded and mixed part of
the album, _eve_. she also produced the moon seven times' latest album,
_sunburnt_, which is another cool band worth checking out. imho, they
have a very similar set-up and sound, in comparison with over the rhine.)
_good dog, bad dog_ has its merits, too. since it was my only
over the rhine recording i guess i couldn't say too much without a
comparison piece. reading the liner notes, i guess that the majority of
the songs were just first take demos, which accounts for their starkness.
i preferred the more produced pieces, like "a gospel number," or "jack's
valentine." very cool stuff.

agreed, bink. when i worked retail at borders, _monster_ was the
first r.e.m. recording i saw as a cut out. not just the regular release,
mind you, but the limited edition release, as well. pretty scary, eh?
while i understand that they shouldn't have to make _murmur, part 12_, i
get a little nervous when r.e.m. starts talking about making "commercially
viable music." that was an actual quote from mike mills, btw. (wait a
minute, c.v.m. has such a pleasant ring to it! what if ... )
i better shut up now and do some homework. ciao--vc
