Late to the thread... but just wanted to say that's still my favorite Minders album. And "Goodbye Colorado" is probably the best song on it.

Old old old old old old drum machine-fueled grunge music located here: http://music.oxygenpillow.com

no, sorry. name's Phil Harwell. I was a regular here several years ago. thought I'd drop back in and show my face again.

Hmm.... logging in for the first time in like a year and a half. Anything happen while I was gone?

Danielson @ Hi-Tone in Memphis TN. But then again, I think maybe that was the only show I went to last year. Oh well. Pictures here. The Hi-Tone is still my favorite venue.

this discussion is making me wanna play the saw.

Well, as a record label, it's defunct. As a "loose collective," it's activity is in the ear of the listener. Really, e6 is more of an idea now than an actual entity. It's a legacy of sorts. The...

and I guess the first two parts were a description of the owner? Y'know, like how a store would be like, Phil's Discount Muffins or something.




Bad jokes and puns since 1978.

hmmmmm....... Half handed Cloud was at 14th place with 28 votes, and 14 is half of 28!



Overstating the obvious since 1978.

sitars are really fun, and a lot easier to play than you might think. I played one a few months ago; the guy at the store taught me a few things about it. I really wanted to buy it, but couldn't...

wish i'd thought of george washingmachine. nice.

Elf Power - Rising And Falling In A Little World

Stephanie: Mmmmm....birthday cake

is my favorite.

sounds fair. it's a trade. maybe we should do a split single in honor of this thread?

not sure when it was when I came up with that one. obviously it was from watching Wizard of Oz one too many...

Oh man, that's hilarious. Or maybe I'm easily amused?

tiemeupwithredtape, may I have permission to use "fire! we must go"? I love that one. Lots.

here are some band names that I came up with...

Me, my daughter, and a ferret.

Since today seems to be "poll day"

voting closed already, eh? glad I got the Hammer in there. gotta represent the O-town, y'know.

I'd want to still be Phil, but a different Phil. One with more talent and less mental illness.

Yes I do like the Danielson Famile. Not quite as much as HHC, but they've got some cool stuff. As far as Sufjan, I heard brief samples of some songs, and read some lyrics. But I didn't really care...

I recently discovered HHC and he is my new favorite music artist. We Haven't Just Been Told, We Have Been Loved is my favorite album. When I found out about HHC, I was just like, "Finally! I have...

Acoustic Guitar (Galveston)
Electric Guitar (Fender Mustang)
Drum Machine (Yamaha X-11)
Accordion (some kind of student model, only has 12 bass buttons)
An array of cheap keyboards

it's hard to really quantify what I like but here are a few artists that I really like a lot, and the rest are a representation of my tastes.




Half Handed Cloud (my current fave)
Danielson...

My name is Philip. I prefer to be called Phil, though.

Q: what is your favorite breed of cat?

I liked the Mike Nesmith quote. Or was that unintentional?

[Edited on 4.6.2005 by phil]

this I will agree with wholeheartedly. they are definitely my favorite e6 band these days. but it seems that they just don't get the press, etc. that other e6 bands get. (or maybe i just don't get...

I still listen to M.C. Hammer. But it's not a guilty pleasure, I wear that badge with glee! Also, Hanson's first LP is pure pop gold, and anybody that tells you otherwise is either biased against...

Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is art with long-lasting value that is appreciated by mainstream audiences. Also Van Gogh, Picasso, and the list goes on and on. In music, the aforementioned Fab...

Favorite of all time: Minders.

Other faves:
Hawk & Hacksaw/Guignol/Marta Tennae
Marbles
Will & Eric's CD-R's from Cloud Recordings
Ulysses
...........and of course, the Apples.

no, i got a promo copy from jeremy.



How about Memphis? that was where i met him, but he ought to play the Hi-Tone instead of Young Ave. Deli, where he played last time. The Hi-Tone is a much...

i really like it. more accordion-based than the first album (which was more piano-based). almost all instrumental (again like the first one), but without so many sound effects/noises. it sounds...

my band's link's in the ol' sig. not much online at the moment but i'll be posting soon. there is one mp3 up right now. i will be putting some ogg files up soon (viva la open standards)

i've wondered where you've been! how're you doing?

You heard it here first............... we're back in business. http://www.oxygenpillow.net/

OK, I'm done with self-promotion for awhile. Apologies for the intrusion.

the website did say over 100 already had homes. i guess they're not going sequentially?

hmmmmm...........



sounds absolutely nothing like the apples. interesting though. electro pop is fun.

thanks! the spec-fan was delightful!

The 7" has "Other" and Robert's "She's Telling Lies" mix on it. The LP itself only has ten tracks on it, same as the CD but no "Lies." I figured that Bryce's mix was USA's bonus track for the CD,...

hmm.......mine's #15. looks like you beat me by 10 points.




anybody else got one, if so what's your number? just curious!

the fictions were fairly cool, but i really liked the west. abbey!

couldn't find the other band on there.

hmm.......... might be a while before i can put much up. the 4-track broke down yesterday. but i've ordered a repair manual, so maybe i can get it going soon.

4-track less than $50? that'll be tough. i got mine just a few weeks ago on ebay, and i just managed to get it under $60. i was really surprised that even old, rinky-dinky recorders still go for...

still haven't gotten mine. :( maybe tomorrow. (thought i might've gotten it today, but it's m.l.k. day so no mail for u.s.)

can't wait!

edit: I did get it today (i.e. tuesday). but i...

haven't had much time to record yet, but y'all be patient. my artistic self is still waking up from a long coma. you'll notice that the links in my signature haven't been updated in a long time...

Herman's Hermits "Hold On"

i hear music all day, every day. the hum of my computer, the rhythm of tires on asphalt at 55 mph, the tonal variations in human speech, the ambience of rain, etc. but i also like to put in a cd...

Greetings, fellers.

It has been quite some time since I've been active on this board. I don't know if that will change, but I'll try to check in with y'all from time to time.

I just acquired a...

This is probably your best one yet! (well, maybe tied with "future"). Goodbye CO is definitely your best song ever. Incredibly catchy! (by the way, what kind of organ is that being played?)

thanks a lot, john!

you're cool!

that's my brother's favorite song. i introduced him to the apples through that one. he really likes it because it sounds a *lot* like the monkees (one of his favorite bands). and it really does.

hi john! i'm curious as to what songs are on these discs. robert gave to me a disc that was marked "ulysses 6" and had the following songs on it: push you away, evening star, television,...

i can't believe what you said to me. east tn must be totally different than here if summers are so great. summer time in memphis is really lousy, and seeing as summer is over 3/4 of the year here,...

really? i didn't think so. i went to a show of theirs and i asked hilarie if i could video a song (had a digital camera that could take lo-res video) and she said no. i took a lot of photos though!

i lost the domain due to a mishap when i was trying to renew it. the renewal form that i was using (i was trying to transfer to a new registrar) was somehow not working properly and the domain...

hmm........so why does robert schneider like to put 'e' on the end of words that don't usually have them 'faire,' 'moone?'

suggestions, anyone?

that's beautiful.

actually, i prefer not having them. less clutter and such.

i've been meaning to do just that, but i'm just lazy. :(

i'm really paranoid about what i leave in the car. living here in memphis made me that way. there's lots of crime here to go around.

oh i know........sorry if i seemed a bit harsh. no hard feelings?

i did.

this happened almost exactly a year ago, and in the last year i've hardly written or done anything. basically i didn't want to do anything creative at all. and i'm slooooooowly crawling...

what use is ranking them? this doesn't need to be a popularity contest.

i had a theft that isn't a humorous anecdote, however. last year, i had a bag (kinda like a messenger bag but not exactly) that was filled with my writings: poems, stories, screenplays, websites,...

yes, it is. sorry if it wasn't funny.

[Edited on 13.2.2004 by phil]

i once had some cd's stolen out of my car. but the funny thing was this: i was staying at my in-laws' house at the time, and my father-in-law was talking to his neighbor the next day, who said, "i...

"tone soul evolution" was my favorite until i got "velocity of sound."

lsd is given to people without artistic talent all the time. but i haven't heard of the output.

[Edited on 10.2.2004 by phil]

how's norman doing, by the way? heard he had the flu recently. that and his girlfriend breaking up with him (or at least that's what i heard). hope he's feeling better!

cool, another emusic fan! you may have read that that's how i found out about them too. they had a free track but i couldn't afford the albums (this was when they had a deal like itunes,...

and i'll always put in my vote for "velocity of sound." :)

not all of them are white. dressy bessy's is black and the gerbils' is green, i think. there might be others also. but those two i remember.

hey those two mp3's are really cool! i may have to buy this album. maybe i'll catch them on tour and get one.

"verlaine" sounds kinda like "better things" by the minders, at least to my ears.

This blade of grass

This blade of grass is my favorite;
Why, I really don't know.
But I'm just so fascinated with it
That I love to watch it grow.
I do not want to cut it;
To lose its beauty...

go over to applesinstereo.com to see a video for "please." it's cool, the apples are riding around in go-carts! also, there's a video for "signal in the sky" and a live one too.

Freakboy, that's one of the best poems I have ever read. Period. Thanks so much for sharing!

i'd suggest letting sean forward it. i emailed the apples two or three times to that address and they never got them. robert told me that they get so much mail there that alot of times messages can...

i got a couple of shirts (one yellow and one black), a "fun pack" of playdoh (my wife picked it up for me for a couple of bucks), and a digital camera (a surprise gift from my wife's uncle). it was...

i agree with most of what you said. granted, this list is an ideal. but that doesn't mean that it isn't worth going for.

just to clarify: i never have and never will condone or support illegal...

but every little bit helps. viva la nonviolent protesting!

badgers and mushrooms and snakes, oh my!

badgers? we don't need no stinking......... ripoffs of tired old jokes.

point well taken, charlie, but the photos are interspersed with the text, so it'd be nice to have aesthetically pleasing photos. with legible text.

[Edited on 17.12.2003 by phil]

"coda" by the apples. that is one of my favorite melodies of all time.

yeah, i'd rather have the untouched photos. jeremy's such a cool guy.

i second this one! and i would add:
"Feliz Navidad" - Jose Feliciano
"Jingle Bell Rock" - Hall and Oates

although in general i don't like Christmas music.

just had to lend my voice where the...
