Wow. Just stumbled across this duet version of Easter Parade with the great Rickie Lee Jones, followed by Buchanan and co joining in with a version of Jones's Flying Cowboys. Not a collaboration I would've ever expected, but it totally works.

The Blue Nile-scored Govan Ghost Story linked in the article - for completists maybe, but I've had .wav files on my PC for years of the sound cues the three members did for this. Been interesting to hear dialogue snippets and wonder what the full scene depicted. Just an hour long.

I think I was the only person on ILX who fell head over heels for the first Pure Bathing Culture lp. The second one was not much cop, but now they have decided to cover the whole of Hats! Not sure I want to hear Ben Gibbard singing, but the rest of the album might be good.

By the way: one of the things that justifies file-sharing for all time is that I was finally able to get hold of a copy of their first (?) ever song 'I love this life'. And it's turned out to be my favourite song of theirs.― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, March 25, 2003 10:45 AM (fifteen years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
Fifteen years later I just heard this for the first time and think I agree: it has a vibrancy to it that they never again showed much interest in conveying. Even the Joe Jackson synth bass is excellent.

first (?) ever song 'I love this life'. And it's turned out to be my favourite song of theirs.
I honestly don't know if I can think of a single artist/band whose first single (a-side and b-side taken together) is more perfectly fully realized, and totally sui generis. I've never heard pure joy captured more wonderfully and without any mawkishness in music than with "I Love This Life," and the world-weary wisdom and old-soul sadness of "The Second Act" is so moving (and rather shocking coming from a 25-year-old). And to think--they got *better* for the next decade, seems impossible.

They might have a few left over copies of the third one though.

Paul, I ordered all three of them on Amazon.co.uk to America. It came to £56.37 in total. I don't like ordering from them in general, but it seemed like the cheapest way and I really didn't want to miss out.

Amazon.co.uk shows £22.99 for each of the three discs, which'd be £68.97 plus S&H to the U.S. Was there a side deal that dropped it to £56.37?
― the body of a spider... (scampering alpaca), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 16:14 (four years ago) link
Looks like they've increased in price slightly since last night. I got them at £20.53 each. I'm not sure how it works exactly but shipping is included in that price. I just put them all in my cart again and the final total is now showing as £62.52 including the shipping. I've ordered this way from them before as it somehow comes out cheaper.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 16:26 (four years ago) link
Nice! Maybe they nix the VAT from the price for U.S. folk. Thanks for the tip/reply.

just gave the vinyl reissue of Hats a spin and fuck me if it's not the best sounding record I own; I mean it's always been reference quality but this pressing sounds even better than the CD I had by a mile. Kicking myself for not getting the other two now even though I'm not a big fan of Peace at Last and I have an original Walk Across the Rooftops. Unfortunately the severely limited run of these seems to have made them hard to locate.

I ordered all three from Amazon UK and all three arrived in the USA mangled. One wasn't even in a box, just a plastic sleeve. Thankfully the vinyl is in good shape, but the covers are trashed. This was my first time listening to them, I bought 'em based on all of the praise on this thread. Indeed, they are lovely. Thanks ILX! I howled at Amazon and they refunded me and let me keep the records. Still pissed about it tho.
