The problem is that fiancees turn into spouses, so its kind of a limited market...

For the last couple of years, we've been trying to get Terry to do a series of inexpensive "basement tapes" style semi-bootleg releases... not regular albums, but something just recorded roughly, in his house on an 8-track digital recorder. Some tracks could be familiar songs with a new twist... others could be new songs in their roughest form... others could be covers or traditional/public domain songs. The idea would be that he could do these in between regular albums to help build the production budget for those larger releases.
He liked the idea and has talked about doing it, but I'd imagine finding the time is difficult. Theres probably also the issue of where he likes the songs enough that he doesn't want to put them out in that style but would rather save them for a regular album. But... I think, with just the right material, those kinds of releases could be very fun. We also had some ideas where the fans could be involved in some way.. more on that later.

You've got to stop saying things like this... it starts us talking of release dates and whatnot!!!
Btw... as a curious fan, is Terry writing songs all the time, or does he just heat up the sausage factory and start cranking when needed. I guess in my head, if he is as prolific as other say, perhaps he's got a case of songs somewhere. THat, to me, would be just cool... maybe even a potential pretentious poetry coffee table book release...with fan drawings... okay now its getting silly.

I've been reading Milosz lately, first time. I'm loving his insight. The book is Native Realm, basically a look at the history of Russia, Poland, Lithuania through the first part of the 1900's, through his eyes and his interpretations. Its often one sided and biased but he comments on that frequently. It is his ability to see a very large picture, from the inside, that amazes me. Clear thinking from a guy who seems to have always been thinking. I've never read any of his poetry, but hopefully this summer!

I wasn't trying to be negative, I was trying to comment on how my own bias affects my opinion... I wonder what to do about that. And you're right, there is a difference, a big philosophical and empty storish difference.

I think it makes the song even more powerful. Thank you for doing that.

I'm copying this in from another thread. You can try these other email addresses. I hope this lets you clear things up. I know the volunteer guys who run the store mentioned something lately about the post office changing something and them having to make changes, especially if they have to mail out of the country, like Oregon... wait...
We seem to have something weird going on with our website email. We've always had a person here and there that had a hard time getting a hold of us, but it seems like in the last six months or so.. its just gotten to be horrible. Some aren't getting our emails when we email them, and we're clearly not getting a lot of other peoples emails.
If anyone has a difficult time contacting us through the regular addresses, try one of these.. at least until we can figure out whats going on with the regular addresses.

Yes, that is it.
What the concert is... I don't know I'll try to check more closely tonight.

I don't think mine's the same as any of these, but I wasn't that specific in listening...though if its anything its the Shirley Goodness one. There is definitely an interview, only about ten minutes long at the end of side one. The second side is more live stuff, though...

Okay, I finally got a chance to listen to it on the way in to work today...
Side one has Swirling Mellow, then when the last track ends, it breaks into (perhaps it was taped over...?) an interview with someone and Terry regarding Alarma. It sounds like a radio thing, but anyway, I've never heard it anywhere else. At the end of side one, the interview isn't necessarily over, just ends. The second side (though I haven't listened to the end yet) is a concert. The first song is So Certain, Mary Baker Eddy, Secret Scripts, etc are in there.

Or the 1994 one with the "MC Tracks" excerpt? That was conducted by Dr. Shore. |
Maybe that's the interview I'm thinking of, I'll check and let you know... if I can find it, I've just moved and all my tapes are in a box somewhere...
