Holy Triumvirate: The songs like that edition
By Jodi | Filed under Holy Triumvirate | Comments (19)
You know the songs I’m talking about. The songs with that sort of repetitive nature. I will show you my list and then you’ll know:
1. Eyes Like Sparks
2. Folk Star
3. Be Bad For Me
Also up for consideration but ultimately dismissed Jingle, 5:05, Seein’ Her, and Makin’ Me Go.

In the Blogs: This week brought to you by evil wafers of Satan

Dr. Tony Shore, not a fan of the way 49:00 was released. At all.
Deb’s MP3s has (Tell Me) Who You Gonna Marry? available for download. Allegedly this has been heard on 89.3′s The Current, though I have yet to witness that with my own ears.
The Allmusic Blog reviews Meet Glen Campbell which features a cover of Sadly Beautiful (which I kind of like because of my heritage).
In case you missed the link in the comments Lynnster’s Music Zone gives the whatfor to the people suing Our Man Paul over 49:00.
editorial aside: I’ve decided I have mono because it’s like 10:28 in the p.m. and I can hardly keep my eyes open. I feel like I’m eight and up way, way past my bedtime
USA Today also give Glen Campbell the treatment featuring this Campbell quote:
He recalls one session when Raymond played him Sadly, Beautiful by The Replacements. “I said, ‘Where did you find these songs?’ Because I’d stopped looking.”

Three things for a Friday — Most importantly how I’m not Paul Westerberg
By Jodi | Filed under Books, Concert you can download, Record Review | Comments (12)
Hey Gang, first of all remember how I was telling you the other day to go read David Carr’s The Night of the Gun? Well, I am going to up that another notch and encourage you to go see him read if at all possible. His appearance schedule is here (VT, NH, Seattle, LA, DC, etc, oh and St. Paul on Monday August 18th).
I went to go hear him read last night (and got a bonus Q&A with Jim Walsh to boot). It was fabulous.He is a kind, gracious, charming, and entertaining man. I was amazed how he got up and shook the hand of every single person waiting in line. It was a great time.
Oh and then when I got my book signed I got to crush David Carr’s dreams about how Paul Westerberg mentioned his book on the blog. Westernerds, he was so excited. The look in his eye was five-year-old getting a bike for Christmas excited. And then I was like, “Uh, that was me.”
We can add this to the list of phrases I never expected to utter in actual real life with my own voice: “I’m not Paul Westerberg.”
Second of all, Imemat has done all the heavy lifting with regard to that 1982 show and converting the files to MP3. Go download than and while you’re there check out the response he got to the only fan letter he’s ever gotten.
Third of all, Aquarium Drunkard has a great, great write up on 5:05.

In the Blogs: More on 49:00, 5:05 & a 1982 solo concert you can download
By Jodi | Filed under In the Blogs | Comments (43)
Andrea Myers at City Pages shares the thoughts that flitted through her head the first time she listened to 49:00.
There seems to be a bit of confusion in blogland about what exactly happened to 49:00 and what 5:05 is (er, make that a lot of confusion). Heather at I am Fuel, You are Friends explains it all clearly and succinctly.
I think someone linked the B+ AV Club reviews in the comments. If you missed it, well, here it is again.
Owl & Bear has a solo acoustic Paul Westerberg set from 1982 available for you to download. Anyone know anything about this show? Or where this might have come from?
The Rocky Mountain News gives a good run-down of alternate means of distribution for musicians and includes a good bit about Our Man Paul’s 49:00 kerfuffle.
Missing 5:05 Found — Mystery Behind Vanished 49:00 Solved
By Jodi | Filed under In the News | Comments (27)
You can buy the missing 5:05 missing from 49:00 on Tunecore for either a buck or $5.05.
From what I can gather, 49:00 was suddenly and mysteriously pulled off the web for copyright problems. That damn medley.
So what do you think, five more minutes for a buck?
