  • 25 bones! Thats a fab price for them. Hopefully they grace us PDXers (they are on our coast). Yeah, it is that sessions DVD. I'll give you guys the full report when I get it in the mailbox.

    *Edit* They better not play on the 24th (Unless its in seattle), 25th (damien rice in seattle) or 26th (damien rice in portland). Thats prolly not likely though....

    the story goes that Mark Seymour (lead singer of Hunter&Collectors and brother of Nick bass guitarist for Crowdies) didn't think throw your arms around me was all that great of a song. So he gave it to Nick for the Crowdies to play which they did, and a good friend Jenny Morris (NZ singer also) told them to record it as it was a sure fire hit. Word got back to Mark who then decided he wanted his song back - and the rest is history!!! So if not for Neil, this song may neer have seen light of day

    i had no idea that is what happened tarotvixen. Thank u for telling us that. isn't it something...now everyone from Neil and eddie are covering the song so thank U Neil for bring this song back to life and thank u to Mark for writing such a beautiful song :o

    haha great minds, or great ears too!

    i'll check the board out, thanks for the heads-up! i cruised by the frenz forum and saw that someone talked to neil last nite, and he confirmed an edited version of the webcast would be made available! i guess he wanted to edit out the bathroom break and/or the mess-ups :o heehee


    oooo, that is TOO awesome B!! I love all this Neil talk, it just makes me giddy! :p

    It is Friday night and my man is at work, so i'm bored, been on YouTube for the past 2 hours watching Neil stuff :D I found a video for Hole In the Ice. i didn't know he made a video of that and Sebastian and Lisa come out from the 7 World's Collide :D

  • Woohoo! Bring on the Finn goodness!

    I got tickets to the Pomona show! I can't believe I'm actually seeing CH after all these years. Stick a fork in me I'm done!

    thanks for all the great links. The singing for Paul made me totally weep like a freak. LOL

    I hope they announce more shows soon. They're driving me crazy. lol

    One of my favorite songs from Neil:

    ~Anytime~
    I see a dog upon the road
    Running hard to catch a cat
    My car is pulling to a halt
    The truck behind me doesn't know
    Everything is in the balance
    Of a moment I can't control
    And your sympathetic strings
    Are like the stirrings in my soul

    I could go at anytime
    There's nothing safe about this life
    I could go at anytime

    Find the meaning of the act
    Remember how it goes
    Every time you take the water
    And you swim against the flow
    The world is all around us
    The days are flying past
    And fear is so contagious

    But I'm not afraid to laugh
    I could go at anytime
    There's nothing safe about this life
    I could go at anytime

    Anytime (come without warning)
    Anytime (it could be so easy)
    A walk in the park (or maybe when I'm sleeping)
    Anytime (see the clouds come over)
    Rain or shine (I make you so unhappy)
    Lets make it right

    I feel like I'm in love
    With a stranger I'll never know
    Although you're still a mystery
    I'm so glad I'm not alone

    I could go at anytime
    There's nothing safe about this life
    Make it so easy to fly in the night
    I could go at anytime
    I could go at anytime

    My fave as well. I haven't got into much of the Crowded House/Split Enz era yet.

    Don't Dream It's Over has so much cheesiness, but when you hear in the context of his other music, you realize its just a classic song.

    they're also listed on the bumbershoot page for seattle, so hopefully they add a portland show too! in which case, i'm so there :)

    I know! I actually bought bumbershoot tickets before the line up was even announced. Still though, I would have to see them in PDX if they played a show.....
