first i would like to say that although it is probably not still up for debate you should get galaxie500 i had a boyfriend in minneapolis once who played them for me a lot of years ago and cautioned me that if i should ever find any of their albums to buy them at once because they were out of print... i foolishly ignored the boy and went home with 'tugboat' stuck in my head we broke up shortly afterwards and i spent the next 2 years searching idly for _anything_ by them until i luckily stumbled upon selected galaxie500... and i was happy as the school girl i am once again...
oddly enough, the only g500 i have is the tugboat single (on the blue numbered vinyl, ha ha), and i can't figure out why it's so tough to find their albums, which were certainly printed in larger quantity than the single -- 500 for my edition and 2000 total. if anyone on the list is a vinyl obsoletist and would like to swap albums for the new multimedia-and-extra-tracks cds, i figure that's about a fair trade, value-wise. mail me. or if there's something else you're looking for, let me know.
i dont have the box set though as i am utterly broke...
anyone have the joy division box set? looks smooth. new order is coming out with _2_ 11-cd singles box sets. everyone gets box sets these days. last trip to san francisco i picked up a pulp box set, fer christsakes.
is a lyric in a capn jazz song (a fantastic screamy emo band from chicago which is unfortunately no more) that says 'its something you read in sassy...' only the singer is very mumbly so for the longest time i thought he was saying 'something something _im_ sassy!' owell...
for what it's worth, there's a new double cd cap'n jazz anthology that has everthing they ever did. it's not a box set, but it's a heckuvalot cheaper. seamus ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
