SIlver Naked Ladies sounds like a John Lennon tune. I enjoy the groove.

World Class Fad is a top notch rock song. I love playing that one on guitar.

Mannequin Shop is hilarious and wonderful. "one little nip, one little tuck, oooh you're looking hip, good enough to....."

Verb - Not sure if you ordered the Dead Mans Pop boxset from Rhino but apparently the shipment is behind. Thats fine, they just sent a digital download redemption code. so i am about to get really drunk and listen to all of it.

I entered a sweepstakes to win a copy but didn't splurge on it myself. I do plan on streaming it pretty much all day tomorrow. Cheers!

the Tom Waits sessions are so fucking wonderful. Good lord.

Man, I am loving this thing

Verb - This live show.....

Ridiculously good.

I'm in love...

Listening to the box right now...whats the story behind these?

Just finished disc one of the live show. I may never listen to the studio version of "I'll Be You" again. So far, enjoying this show more than the Maxwell's album, and that's not meant to knock that show at all.

Its a pretty fantastic show. They chose two really incredible shows of very different time periods that show what they were capable of.

I am loving the remixes of Dont tell a soul. Still a couple stinkers, but songs i was lukewarm on sound so much better and the ones I loved are even more incredible.

Yeah I think this show is better than Maxwell's too

Tom Waits was a fan and dropped by the studio one night. According to the book Trouble Boys, his wife left at midnight and Tom began drinking and they began recording.

Yass. I always loved the melody and lyric on that one but felt that it was ruined by the production. Now it just slays.

Dressing sharp and feeling dull.

I fucking love this song so much

Chris mars drumming makes it too. Listening to the evolution from demo to final product....that double hit of the snare in the chorus really makes it pop. I fucking love it so much.

Verb it’s happening!!! Stereo mono being pressed to vinyl for RSD !

I'll never get a copy . I always lose out in the RSD crowds.

Thanks friend. I do see that it's a RSD first release, so maybe that means it'll be available to everyone later?
