I really wanted to run out and buy 'Pornography' first, but being the obsessive-compulsive person that I am, I'm going to listen to the reissues chronologically like how they were originally released.

sextonseven said:

yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. i got all crackhead and tried my best to get 'em all at the same time. fortunately a very sweet friend got me 'pornography' as a gift, so i didn't have to clamor for what i couldn't afford for very long.

Anxiety said:

But when the Siouxsie And The Banshees 2CD reissues start being released later this year, look out! I'm getting those things on the very first day--no pussyfootin' around like I'm doing with the Cure discs.

Anxiety said:

That was pretty sweet.

sextonseven said:

I'll probably be just the opposite. I've had to travel to get these Cure ones on the first day. I'm not one for waiting.

Siouxsie though, I'm just very casually getting into.

TRON said:

At least with the Cure, I had all their albums on CD before the reissues, but with the Banshees I never did have their pre-1983 LPs on disc. I bought them all on vinyl before Geffen released them on CD, but never purcashed those and stuck with the records. It will be odd to not have to flip the record (or tape) over when I finally hear those reissues.

sextonseven said:

I'm gonna do it chronologoical too...it's the only way to go since I don't know the material...

i'm excited!!

endorphin74 said:

as long as you have the new saint etienne, i don't have to pray for your soul.

this of course has nothing to do with the cure reissues. i'm just sayin'.

Anxiety said:

i've got it. no prayers needed!

Anxiety said:

I have the new Saint Etienne, but not the 2CD version with the lullabies. Am I still saved or stuck in purgatory?

sextonseven said:

that's a hard one to answer. the bonus EP is great - it's some of the danciest stuff they've done in quite some time - but the album is really, really, really growing on me with every listen. if your soul is damned, it's not because you have the 1CD of this album.

Anxiety said:

this may damn me, but I haven't listened to the bonus disc yet...too much music to get thru right now!

endorphin74 said:

"you can count on me" will make you giggle. it's sarah cracknell being incredibly silly.

Anxiety said:

I can think of many reasons why my soul is damned. My Spice Girls collection would be the first one...

Oops did I type that out loud? I hate when that happens.

sextonseven said:

there are certain things WE must NEVER speak of on the Org (or anywhere for that matter)

speaking of, did I see you have the Emma CD? you should note me yer thoughts on it! I'm debating tracking it down...

Anxiety said:

you were right.

FINE. Just make me listen to the CDs I buy. .Sheeesh!

endorphin74 said:

I am not exaggerating when I say that I think Emma's album is absolutely heavenly. It's pure 1960s retro pop. I like listening to it back to back with Sarah Cracknell's solo album to bring the topic back to Saint Etienne.

Now if only I could work The Cure into this post also.

sextonseven said:

k, thanks for the tip. I will have to pick it up. maybe I get Emma AND The Cure.

(there, it was kinda on-topic, lol)

sextonseven said:

so how 'bout that song "Pirate Ships"?

endorphin74 said:

What else you into?

TRON said:

well, I've been doing some concert prep, so finally giving The Arcade Fire their due. Then I got the new Decemberists (and a ticket to their show) from Denny for my Bday, so that's been going on a lot. Then, the latest St. Etienne, Coldplay, Teenage Fanclub and Gorillaz (still, heehee). A few more spins of Decemberists and then I can move on to New Order and the latest Doves CD.




ummmm, and then I can go buy my next Cure reissue and listen to that

endorphin74 said:

Busy guy!

I'm all over the place lately too. More than I've been in years. I'm usually so focused!

TRON said:

yeah you are typically quite focused musically. what's going thru yer player right now?


ps- I almost forgot, the latest Belle & Sebastian compilation has been gettin daily play in my house...

endorphin74 said:

Lots and lots of Stereolab. My summer favorite.

That new Garage a Trois album Outre Mer is really yummy, funky jazz.

Early Michael Jackson stuff. The box set got me more interested than I've been in years.

Kate Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, Cabaret Voltaire, and about to dip my toes into some unfamiliar Miles Davis stuff too.


And that's just this week!

TRON said:

I don't know what you said.
