WEWH        I did not own "Songs of the Heart" as the cover scared me off I heard about three songs: the "WEWH" song, "Glory Road" and the "Can't take my eyes off of you" cover tune. I really like it. It's a sweet, funny story. It kind of reminds my of my grandparents. (My grandfather likes his New York Yankees hat as well as a couple of fishing type hats.) I like both versions of of the record. the 2nd version almost has an early Tom Waits vibe with a Dylan "Love & theft" feel. Tom Waits also likes the route 66 American Dream story, a lot in the early years it really shows itself. He has a love for traveling salesman (selling "Fuller Brush" or what have you ) He also has a love for hats... Porkpie or otherwise. The interview with Terry is pretty cool (I had no idea that Terry is a Wilco fan, though it makes sense.) To sum up, this is a really special bookset. I really apprciate the time & energy that went into it. Terry write in the liner notes there will not be another, but I think a "un-plugged" VH would be really cool. Just a thought __________________ 07-21-2002 14:15 Joey T. Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 7,777 Location: you can't fire me, 'cuz i quit! - Kurt Cobain.... Terry un-plugged        How about the ENTIRE ALARMA CHRONICLES unplugged??? That is my idea for the next book set. __________________ 07-21-2002 14:51 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala.

How cool would that be? or "Mall all over the world?" __________________ 07-21-2002 14:54 Joey T.

We can only hope and pray..... but if you read the beginning of the book for WEWH, Terry addresses the issue of this being done with other albums and says pretty much: nope, this is it folks. __________________ 07-21-2002 14:58 Mark Moderator Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 9,525 Location: Grand Encephalon - Words have their place but live what you say God can have His way when you hit them with Love The Alarma bookset sure is selling for high prices now. Good thing I got a copy when it first came out. I've seen it for as high as $125. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

You're kidding!! Thank God I got mine first time out. My ¡Alarma! bookset was one of the few CDs I took to Spain in it's original cover (everything else went into a CD holder.) I wish more groups did booksets like DA did on the ¡Alarma! Cronicles. -- The Author of the Post 07-21-2002 18:48 Mark Moderator Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 9,525 Location: Grand Encephalon - Words have their place but live what you say God can have His way when you hit them with Love You know this bookset is cooler than anything done by just about any artist anywhere, Christian or secular. I have a bookset by Saga, but it just has the CD which comes in a book with pictures and lyrics. The book is probably only 20 pages long. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

I saw that Radiohead did a book special release of Amnesiac. I think it was in a book. I can't remember. A friend of mine is a huge Radiohead fan and has it. -- The Author of the Post 07-22-2002 08:46 Gamgee Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 03-14-2002 Posts: 1,060 Location: Somewhere out there... quote: Originally posted by Author of the Post I saw that Radiohead did a cook special release of Amnesiac.

Most people are sensible enough to reconstruct the original message (especially since the topic is book sets!)) -- TAotP 07-22-2002 15:25 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala.

Yes, Radiohead did do a book release with Amnesiac. Also, R.E.M. did one for Reveal. However, NOTHING has ever compared to The Alarma Chronicles Bookset. It is hands down the greatest CD packaging I can think of. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

I look at it still and am blown away by it. and M-8 of all companies did it. wow. that alone is the mind-blower for me __________________ 07-25-2002 16:24 Mark Moderator Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 9,525 Location: Grand Encephalon - Words have their place but live what you say God can have His way when you hit them with Love Yes, it is amazing that M8 did it. However, I believe it turned out so well because of the Townsends, Terry & Co. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.
