...and i want it now!!!! I hate ordering cd's b/c i have no patience. the moment i hit send I want to hear it. Maybe there should be a passworded section that will allow you to hear the stuff you have bought. I don't know how that would work or if it would be possible...but i know that i want to hear it right now. i'm hoping it will come in before the weekend, but i doubt that. grrr!
I want to hear Molly is a Metaphor. Is it about his dog? My dog's name is Molly. My wife's name is Katie. His wife's name is Debbie. I have no kids. Terry has kids, but i don't know their names. I have a younger brother named Patrick. I also have a friend named Bill who turned my on to DA. I thank him for that.
My wife hates DA. She doesn't like Terry's voice. We were listening to the Fountains of Wayne's "Utopia Parkway" (fantastic disc) and she loves it. I told her that it totally reminded of DA around the "Alarma" period. Really catchy guitar solos, keyboards, well crafted pop songs. She didn't like that comment.

Molly is about his dog.
This CD is great.
Well worth the wait... Hang in there
Little Big had a great pop sound (pet sounds/beach boys/BNL vibe
) )

Who THINKS THAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT A DOG?????????????
Molly Is A Metaphor
She's mercy in a fat cat's frame
"Relax," she purrs , (she can tell I'm down),
"Let's both take a nap."
then she brushes grace up against my arm
and crawls in to my lap
Purring is her secret prayer
way too common for this cat
Purring is her secret prayer
And when she's had a busy day
chasin' bugs and such
and when all she does is cry for food
and is indifferent to my touch
I have been disturbed by this song twice now...
1) Finding out that Terry is a cat person.
2)Seeing that DADLers are interpriting this song as about a dog.

Once again Terry creates an album of songs that are unlike anything else in the collection. These are very straight forward snapshots of his family and friends. Kinda like viewing someones's photo album done to music.

This is why I keep getting his music. It amazes me how much TST's work inspires me to be more expressive in my own art. He's music hits me on a truly emotional level. You feel the music rather than just listen to it or even experience it.

Hey I totaly understand, as that is the way I am about most music, but especially terry's. I relate feelings to every song I know, but the cool/weird thing about Terry's music is that the feelings evoked from his work changes as my life changes, it moves me with me, almost a window into my own life. I feel that it is because Terry is a very personal writter, even when he's not writting about himself. That my friends is a sign of genious in my book. It's what puts Terry's writting on par with the likes of Dylan, Cash etc...
on another note, I heard Little,Big and I had a real strugle with it, I just can't get over the Beach Boys feel, as I really dislike the Boys. Dr Rich and I were discussing this and I think it is like this. I totaly respect Brian Wislons genious in arrangements, but the songs that he wrote were soooooooo derivative that I just can't bring myself to like it, which is weird as I love blues and most blues sounds the same as well, maybe it's the style he copies bugs me, or the fact that so many of songs could be the same with different lyrric(this is where it differs from Terry's boys like tunes). I don't know. I can listen to Pet Sounds and apreciate it, but anything else no way.
Wow I've rambled a little here. Oh well, I'm sure I've opened a can up here as I know that there are many Beach Boys fans out here, let me have it if you feel the need. I can take it.

No particular loyalties to the Beach Boys here, but I do like "Making God Smile." Some good stuff there.
I don't see much Beach Boys sound in LITTLE, big. So I guess we just see the album slightly differently.

I don't hear Beach Boys when I listened to Little Big. I view it as a quirky, eclectic, fun, heartfelt project.
I am still freaking that Terry is a cat person it conflicts with his lost dog persona and cats are not as seemingly rock and roll unless you are talking about the stray cats ...stray cats lost dogs um but the whole cat rubbing up on the leg thing takes me back to when I was taking care of the neighbor's cats and one of them did that and gave me ringworm and I had the marks from that feline for years cats are a metaphor and a simile for icky virus spawnings and loose hair ending up in a cereal bowl and becoming a hairball all tangled up with my captain crunch bad vibes bad memories.

need to add LITTLE big to my list
of wants soon (I still dont have Real Men Cry...)
but as far as the BB's
I'll take Pet Sounds-and think it pretty much is everything you need in a BB record.
its got the harmonies they are known for, but the love songs and unsettling maturity of it cannot be equaled (plus I grew up with it..so God Only Knows and Would'nt it Be Nice are so special to me)
I wanna get my opinion in, but need a little BIG cash inflow to come first.

You don't have Real Men Cry either? "Cain" is the best LD song, IMHO. It's the'r best use of harmonies. A haunting sound. Get it!!

Hard to believe, but true! Check it out! "Cain" is classic. I was shocked when they didn't play it in concert when they came through St. Louis.
