Yeah, I guess I am. I must have been listening to my
Fiona Apple, Crowded House, Los Lobos, Suzanne Vega,
Michael Penn, Sparklehorse and Tom Waits records. How
silly.
Actually, I thought you might possibly have been
referring to the sonic quality of the machines, not
the material so much. At any rate, one disk with all
of the possible disks ever made for all three abortive
stabs at the idea seems like a good idea to me.
But then, I AM nuts. And 200 bucks for high quality
recordings of so much trashy low fi material is
certainly a waste of blue collar money.
