The version of Keeblin’ that was released as a b-side to Out There is played with a capo at the 3rd fret. On Martin + Me Juses a capo at the 5th fret and version on the CBGB’s cd is played without a capo.

Same chord shapes are used regardless of wear the capo is used

Weird, I’ve always played with it at the 2nd fret.

…first off i love the Bible, i even believe in god after reading such a book, but my favorite verse is Genesis 1:6, right off the bat god creates a dome to keep the water from falling out of the sky onto earth, most bibles even have a drawling; this really freaks out serious bibleheads, so god wrote the book but wait did he forget that the world was round and that space wasn’t just water waiting to be let into the dome he created, dome = sky, sorry god you must have been thinking rather drinking when you got your prophets to write that one…

A lot of people think this justifies a "canopy theory" and that this dome was some sort of weird greenhouse sort of thing. So rather than having periodic rain, there was just this canopy that kept everything growing and whatnot. I’m not sure why they feel the need to explain that but I’ve heard this argument. I’m with you on this one though, pretty sure that’s just the sky we’re talking about here.

I didn’t know Built to Spill covered it. Is that on one of their albums?

The reissues lead me to believe that they are planning to play these songs live with Lou eventually. It markets some more material for the tour after their current tour. Lou might actually be learning some of these on the tour bus of the present tour. Instead of the same set list; there would be songs from 6 albums: the first 3, the new upcoming record, and the 2 Rhino Reissues. This might mean longer shows, hopefully.

now that would be nice, especially the longer show part!

I picked up Where You Been today and I’m through "Not The Same." I’ve got to say that while the sound quality is maybe a little better than the original, if you already have a good copy of Where You Been and aren’t dying for the B-sides, it’s probably not worth it. My copy was crappy anyway, so I needed a new one and I am enjoying the louder versions of the songs but I’m still in the "why did they remaster Where You Been" boat.

1. Like a Hurricane (I’ve said it on here before but I’d love to hear J cover this one, it’s tailored to his voice and guitar playing)
2. Cowgirl in the Sand
3. Down By the River
4. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere

Yeah, I’m a little heavy on songs from EKTIN but it’s my favorite of the ones I own.

You have to keep in mind that the guys were really young when the made the first record and they’re all way better musicians now. I like the first album but agree that the songs are just better live. Especially Bulbs.

[andyfest]

Got mine today, hopefully you all have the same luck!

I definitely like it better than Martin + Me, though there aren’t as many songs. I think this recording seems cleaner and J’s voice sounds really good. The between song banter is cool too.

There’s actually a couple of instances where I can understand lyrics I’ve never been able to before. Can’t remember which ones right now but it’s pretty cool.

Also, does anyone else wonder why they never made "Throw Down" longer? Such a great :45 song but it could have been a brilliant full-length pop song.

Can’t wait to pick this up.

I still do not have mine yet.. From Plan9..
The status says it shipped on the 15th via USPS.

Come on, Monday!!!!

Same here. I need that CBGB CD!

Annastefka, what version is that from? It seems a bit modern but still makes the same points as other versions.

I don’t really have a "favorite" but I’d say the whole story of Christ being God in human form, being the perfect sacrifice and rising from the dead is pretty awesome. I get lost a little in the Old Testament but love pretty much everything in the New Testament. When I was a kid I really liked Sampson and Delilah.

I’m pretty disappointed with the "bonus" tracks, yes but have to agree that the first albums needed to be remastered in a bad way. To me, even if they left off the bonus tracks, it would have been worth doing. I’m a little skeptical about the new ones though. I have the bonus tracks in one form or another and Where You Been already sounds great to me. My copy is a little scratched, though, so I’ll pick up a new one. Green Mind always sounded a little tinny to me but that doesn’t necessarily justify a full re-release. I’ll get that one too but only because I’m a huge fan and my copy of green mind has the "Whatever’s Cool With Me" cover instead of the right one (I bought it used).

Hell must have really frozen over.

Just please tell me one of the new songs isn’t called "Get Over It" and sung by Don Henley!

I’d start by asking the Flaming Lips to put out a better album in 2006.
