The "3 E.P.'s" is a very good album...but my favorite would be "Heroes To Zeros." It is I think their "Abbey Road."  ;)

yeah their is a very similar quality to them.  I

 bought the 3 ep's after seeing High Fidelity, cos the refrain on Dry the Rain is so catchy.  But their much more than that really

Chalk it up to different tastes, but I have that song on the 'Hi Fidelity' soundtrack and its as boring as whale s*it. Its muzak. My opinion, but its only based on that one song.

The High Fidelity soundtrack also introduced me to Stereolab, Velvet Underground, Belle and Sebastian, Smog, and Love..

..and to some extent I got quite heavily into some Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder stuff
Title: Re: The Beta Band
Post by: Herecomesyoursun on March 19, 2005, 10:45:32 PM
^Yup.  Except for Stevie Wonder in the 80's.

"Top 5 musical crimes commited by Stevie Wonder in the 80's.  Subquestion, is it fair to hold later mistakes against a legend.  Is it better to burn out or fade away?

Rob: "Whyd you tell her about the store?"
Barry:"O, I'm sorry. I thought not having customers was a bad thing, not, yknow, a buisness strategy."

If you guys get/rent the DVD, some of the deleted scenes are really good. I just bought a Cinema poster of it and matted and framed it. Its a wambo, but looks cool.

That's cool. Like "A Hard Day's Night" cover photo.

I love those deleted scenes, especially that scene where a lady is offering her husband's entire 45's collection for 50 bucks to John  :o (drool)
