And he looked so cool. I was thirteen in 1979. I wanted more than anything to sit on my roof, stare at the moon, and write songs on my Rickenbacker about girls who would understand how misunderstood I was.
"You Tell Me" and an alternate version of "What Are You Doing In My Life" are the only studio tracks on this Homemade Live Album. Seven bonus songs bring the total to a sweet sixteen.
Don't miss Stinky's genre-themed TP compilations (blues, country, rockabilly and psychedelia). Stinky has also created homemade live albums for Michael Hall's Wild Seeds, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, Brian Setzer's Tomcats, Jon Rubin's Rubinoos, Georgia's Satellites, and Pearl Harbor's Explosions.

Ha! That makes me one year older than you so remember to respect your elders! I remember those days well -- and those songs have all held up well despite the constant rotation unlike most of the crap on the airwaves those days (though My Sharona's got some killer guitar and Le Freak never gets old either).
ReplyDeleteThanks Stonker(tm)!

Just finished listening to this one in its entirety and it was great as expected! Enjoyed all the extra bonus tracks like the second version of "Even the Losers" from 89. Thanks again for the time and effort putting these together! Listening to Hard Promises now since I have a little uninterrupted listening time on the home stereo (won't last long I'm sure).
ReplyDeleteThere's a long process of sorting, backing up, processing (I retag everything for consistency), copying to multiple systems (home library, iTunes library at work, long-term backup drive), archiving to DVD, and then finally ingesting/indexing into my media library at home and iTunes at work for iPhone syncing before all these downloads finally make it into my regular listening (usually on random shuffle play!). More often than not I'm sampling new things on the computer from various blogs and downloading far more than I can ever hope to listen to so there's years of backlog in this process. But it's still nice to know I have things and when I do get around to listening to things like these it's worth it! I imagine some people download things and listen to them right away -- that's probably a better way!
That's quite a process. I wish I were that disciplined and systematic. I don't always have uninterrupted listening time, and not all members of my household appreciate the music that I like (the reverse is also true). The car is my mobile music room, where I can play what I want as loud as I want it. It's something that Stinky and I have in common, and one of the reasons that the stuff we post here can fit within the confines of an 80 minute CD-R.
DeleteThere's such a wealth of music online that I tend to grab more than I can ever listen to, but that's not a bad problem to have. Maybe it's good to listen to things right away, but I don't think one way is necessarily better than another. We're glad you took the time to hear the whole damn Torpedo!
