[Zero] Musical discovery: Joe Purdy

Perhaps I'm the last to find this guy, but I just got Only four seasons and Julie Blue and am hooked. Evidently, the music's been on Gray's Anatomy and Lost (I think), so maybe everyone else knows him. As one review I read said, he's what Counting Crows should be or wants to be.

Of the 2 albums, I like Only Four Seasons better. And if you want to support lesser-known artists, you can download his albums from cdbaby.com-- they say the artists get something like 91% of the price.

Re: [Zero] a favor

Yo,

So just to be on the safe side, I borrowed my daughter's el cheapo mini-stereo and fired up Garage Band. I now have a CD that sounds as good as the cassette does ... and I sent the "arrogance online store" some email ... as well as Don Dixon's management company.

But if any of you happen to be at an Arrogance show, and see a copy of the Lively CD for sale (it's rumored they sell them at shows), please get one for me!!

In case you forgot what NC was like in the 80's :

I remember Arrogance – had a tape that went with me to Colorado and multiple people really liked them. Can't recall the album though …

I don't see Lively on Spiral Frog – only a Cats Cradle live recording (Arrogance Live at Cat's Cradle 08/14/2004). Do you have a URL?

Yo,

So. Anybody out there besides Rich and me remember "Arrogance"? late-70's early-80's regional NC band.

Right before Rich went to Benin, I recorded his copy of "Lively". I love that tape. Both it and my tape deck are showing signs of age.

There is a download service called "Spiral Frog" which claims to have Lively available for download, but I can't do it, they appear to be resolving my IP address to 'outside the states' and it refuses my registration.

Can somebody download it for me and put it up somewhere I can get it? Spiral Frog claims to be free.

Thx.

[Zero] The Wasmopolitan Cavalcade of Recorded Music

Yo,

So am I like the last person on the planet to discover Don Was' corner at My Damn Channel?

http://www.mydamnchannel.com/explore.aspx?channel=59

I can recommend the Wasmopolitan Dance Party with Jill Sobule, but especially especially in the video section ... Don seems to be recording things live in the studio with videocameras running ... Stephen Bruton's "Gettin' Over You".

http://www.mydamnchannel.com/channel.aspx?episode=470

Ride that wave.
