Tyler Durden (the first rule of Fight Club...) put up 4 great songs at
the gmail account.

meadfans
pw - DM's last album

[TylerDurden]

Like I said on the other forum,if you want a higher bit rate let me
know.
I had to compress something for size and that is why is was set too
low.

[Joe Brookhouse]

You can also load the songs onto AirSet. I moved all of the songs
from Gmail (outside of those recently added by Tyler) to the "Other
Artist Favorites" folder.

[Tyler Durden]

I'm going to upload the others at better bitrate plus the Pernice
Brothers tunes.

[Tyler Durden]

I forgot to add Pernice to the songs but they are : Cruelty To
Animals,Judy & My So-Called Celibate Life.
From now on I will add the artist!!!!!

Cool. Thanks, Tyler. I'll give them a listen.

[TylerDurden]

Uploaded the other songs. Also a newer Jellybricks tune.
I noticed if you upload as .m4a files you can only download and not
listen so maybe it would be better if we kept all the files as .mp3 on
Airset??

[Joe Brookhouse]

I think AirSet recognizes .mp3 and .wma. It uses Windows Media
Player. Also, if you wanted to add the names of the artists, it's
pretty easy to do. Select the file, then from the top menu,
Edit>Rename. Make sure you don't lose the file extension.

Thanks for the info,Joe.
I renamed the songs. I was looking at the little edit button!!
I use Safari most of the time and it uses Quicktime.
A side note here: You have to use Firefox(if you use a Mac like me) to
upload your pic to the Google group.

[bobbym529]

Just a note to eMusic subscribers...there is a fair amount of Pernice
there.

I have all of Live A Little and some others, but my iTunes tells me I
haven't listened to it yet. I better get on the stick.

I uploaded Josh Pyke's When We Get There from The Black Balloon
soundtrack. Just like Linda has her Admiral Twin and Craig has his
Porcupine Tree (which I like both and learned about from them), I have
my Josh Pyke.

Most of his stuff is available on iTunes (finally).

I put it the Gmail account and Airset.

:-)

[craig]

mmmmmmmm... Porcupine Tree. :)

[bobbym529]

I uploade to gmail and airset, Josh Fix - I Thought About First from
the album Free At Last. An epic pop song.

:-)

Bob

[Tyler Durden]

Love Josh!

[TylerDurden]

Ghosts,The Bigger Lovers,Richard Hawley,Tiny Dancers and Michael
Carpenter.

More to come over the next little while as I wade through my

[Joe Brookhouse]

I've built a monster here with the AirSet thing, haven't I? I
definitely need to wade into the music you guys are loading.

[TylerDurden]

Last Train with drums.... not great but let me know.

[TylerDurden]

Up at Airset.

[bobbym529]

That's pretty cool! The drums really change it..

:)

[TylerDurden]

This morning I've uploaded some songs that I want to share:

The Shins - New Slang
The Young Republic - Girl In A Tree
Martin L. Gore - Compulsion
The Do - At Last

[TylerDurden]

Ah yes...The Shins from the Garden State soundtrack.
I actually liked the movie and the soundtrack is really good.

[Joe Brookhouse]

I've finally decided to upload a couple of my favorite songs. If
you're not familiar with the band Blue Rodeo, they are one of most
successful and longest-lasting bands in Canadian music. Their sound
is a mix of rock and country, sometimes referred to as Alt Country.

Blue Rodeo has two main singers/songwriters, each with their own
distinct styles. I've uploaded two songs, one from each lead singer,
that are among, in my opinion, their best.

Five Days In May (lead vocals: Jim Cuddy)
Lost Together (lead vocals: Greg Keelor)

[Tyler Durden]

Jim lives around the corner from me!
See him from time to time when we're walking the dogs. Nice guy.

[TylerDurden]

Uploaded Ben and Jason - Duet.
Sadly they are no more but the albums Ten Songs About You and Goodbye
are excellent.

I got this Pernice letter today. They come occasionally.

Hello from Conservative Canada. Hope this finds everyone at the very
least, healthy. If I had to choose between the need for self
actualization and not being sick, well hell, that’s no choice at all.

I’m aware of the fact I haven’t released an album or posted a new note
in a while. Some people were wondering if I’d died. To the best of my
knowledge, I am not dead. I am, however, living in a kind of heaven.
(The Mormons believe Independence, Missouri is actually the Garden of
Eden. Personally, I think they’re being generous, but what the hell. I
have no real beef with the Mormons, so long as they don’t try
posthumously baptizing me, in which case I’m going to rise from the
dead and start taking names.) For my money (today discounted by 23%
against the USD, according to a yahoo currency conversion), heaven on
earth is Ontario, Canada in the dead of winter. Holy crap, I’ve never
been so cold for so long in all my life. Each night my wife and I
fight over who gets to wear the stocking cap to bed. Actually that’s
not true. I rarely fight her for it because I find that whole Mr.
Scrooge look on a lady curiously arousing.

Contrary to what my business partner (Joyce Linehan) might lead some
to believe, I have been busy at work. I officially finished my novel
for Riverhead Books. I’m very excited about how it turned out. (One of
the only things left to do is wait out this unsightly blemish so I can
have my author’s photo taken. Isn’t it always that way, right before a
big publication?)

The novel is called It Feels So Good When I Stop. It’s scheduled to be
published in September of this year, and as the date firms up, you’ll
certainly hear about it. It’s not a book for kids, which is a general
way of saying it’s not for anyone offended by raw language and sex. I
sent an email to my family telling them that my book should not be
read by anyone under twenty-one, anyone over fifty-five and Judy (my
sister).

Which brings me to the next project: The first of two Joe Pernice
albums. Though the book is not explicitly about music, there are quite
a few incidental (and not so incidental) musical references
throughout. Songs ranging from James and Bobby Purify’s I’m Your
Puppet to The Chill’s Rolling Moon to That’s How I Got to Memphis by
Tom T. Hall to Soul and Fire by Sebadoh. Ashmont Records is planning
on releasing in some form—somewhere around the publication of my novel—
the “soundtrack” to It Feels So Good When I Stop. The recording is in-
progress, and I plan on having it wrapped up in February.

Finally, there is another Joe Pernice album of original tunes
threatening to hit the market sometime in 2009. I started tracking
that record a while ago with Ric Menck, James Walbourne and my brother
Bob Pernice. I was planning on calling it Light, Sweet, Crude (in my
mind, all three words are adjectives), but some other band beat me to
the punch. It’s just as well, I suppose. I’ve decided to call the
album Murphy Bed. (If that name is taken, I’m shelving the album for
all time.) It’s taken so long to wrap up because when I signed my book
deal I decided to put all other projects on hold until the book was
done. I mean, really, Riverhead/Penguin was paying me real money. If
you think Ashmont Records, Inc. would do in kind, you need to get your
wiring checked out. And anyway—the international financial crisis and
a handful of bloody conflicts aside—the world has done just fine in my
absence from releasing albums.

There are no gigs planned as of yet, though I’m sure I’ll be doing
readings and gigs to support the book and both albums. Toying with the
idea of mashing a reading and music into a single event and touring on
that. Who knows.

Anyway, I see I’m dangerously close to exceeding my self-imposed word
count, and I can’t have that.

Best to all.

I put a song up at Airset and the Gmail account.

It's called Blue Sky by Lucy Schwartz.

This is a nice perfect (for me) pop song.

I think this girl has a bright future. It is from the album Winter In
June. She has a few single songs out there too. The first song I heard
of hers was from the movie, The Women. She has nice vocal timbre that
is kind of a cross between a lot of my favorite female singers. Great
band, clear, quiet, beautiful production with lots of subtle extras.
On eMusic too.

Have a good Sunday.

I saw that David was playing with Derek Webb at Knoxville and checked
out who he is.

Very interesting. If you live close, sounds like it would be a good
one.

I uploaded these to Airset for your listening pleasure:

Great Scott! and Fear by Benjy Ferree
Benjy is based in the DC area. His music has a wide range. Great Scott
a little like Robert Plant or Led Zepplin, but Fear goes back several
decades from that.

Come Out Wherever You Are by David Cloyd
David recorded this in his 9' x 9' bedroom recorded on a homebuilt
computer with him playing all the instruments.

Bob

[bobbym529]

I uploaded to Airset and the gmail account Nothing Can Come Between Us
by Obi West.
Musically I think this would fit on Tangerine. This song has a
particularly catchy chorus that strikes pleasure spots in my brain. I
got some others of their songs, but I keep playing this one over and
over. Let me know what you think.

The visuals with this album are striking also.
