i picked up a copy at amoeba yesterday....it's just gorgeous. it's one of those albums i can see growing on me even more after every listen. and yeah, silent house is heartbreaking but so beautiful.
nadia, i'm not sure how the dixie chicks involvement came about...i know neil gets asked by lots of folks to collaborate, cuz he's the shit :cool: haha i'm curious now too though, i'll have to look sometime for some old articles, maybe he mentioned how it came about.
and BlackCorduroy, if youc an't see PJ, CH is the next best thing no doubt! enjoy your new goodies

That is awesome B that you got it at Amoeba! Oh my gosh, I can't wait for the show next month!! AHHH!! And you know who'll be opening up for them? Liam and Pete Yorn!! :eek: WHOA!!! I wonder if Liam will also be jamming with CH at those shows since he is opening.
B, I was looking last night about that too. I had to do a wikipedia search on the dixie chicks bio and the bio for Silent House...it didn't tell me nothing! And DEFINITELY, Neil is DA SHIT! hehehe I mean, come on, the man sure has a way w/words that make me cry! *sighs*
oh the video for Don't Stop Now came out!! YEA!!!

Went to see Crowded House the other night, at the Kings Arms. A small venue that holds like 500 at the most. fucking amazing....
that is awesome! congrats!!! i was wondering when they were going to come to Neil's hometown. What did they play?
btw, if you go on http://www.crowdedhouse.com they have video clips of interviews w/the band. There is one called Collaborators, Johnny Marr came out on there but NOTHING about the Dixie Chicks!! ahhh

oh SNAP! They took it down (damn U Microsoft :mad: ) I wanted to see "Weather With You" again :(
I managed to find an interview w/Crowded House, done by some New Zealand magazine show. Very good piece and YES, I found my answer about how the Dixie Chicks and Neil collaborated
Awesome thank you, I can't find it on VH1 but another site is playing four of the songs, great so far. I'll probably stop at the store later for Recurring Dreams and Woodface.
The concert is the same day PJ plays Lollapalooza... I'm still a little bummed that I won't be able to make it to that, but now at least now I'll be having fun instead of sitting at home wishing I was at Lolla :)
yeah I know. I wish I could be at lolla too. oh well, I've been to a Finn show...Neil and Tim did a show here back in 2004 and they are so freakin' funny! You sometimes forget you are at a rock concert when Neil tells jokes I know you'll have fun at CH!

since I got nothing better else to do (and after putting my little one to bed), I stumbled upon NEW CH interviews w/Neil and Nick. Very touching and funny interview they did in Australia, after doing the Live Earth show. ENJOY!

haha. yeah i know! I think I will need a shoulder to cry on B when they play Fall At Your Feet! Damn you Neil and your DAMN beautiful lyrics!!! :mad: haha
another article I found on CH and it also contains an interview video w/Nick and Neil
I will be seeing them in November in Scotland and looking forward to it although i was surprised to see that the whole arena is seating. Do they ever play split enz songs live these days? Is anyone else here going to the Glasgow gig?

not sure if they bust out any enz songs, i haven't seen any on the few setlists i've spied
Does anyone from the board go to the gig in Vienna tomorrow (Oct 3)? I know that there will be a lot of people not living in Austria coming in for that one...

They love you so badly for sharing their sorrow, so pick up that guitar and go break a heart - Kris Kristofferson
Holy crap! I just came home from the very first Crowded House show in Vienna - but I hope not the last. At least Neil said they had to come back soon.
The show wasn't advertised, the band doesn't get any airplay here and the record company totally f***** up the new release and still it was sold out with people standing in front of the venue looking for tickets.
They started with There Goes God (one of my absolute faves!) and it got better and better from then on. It's really rare over here that people know all the lyrics and sing along from note one but in this case they did (with the exception of 8 Miles High where my sister and I were two of the few who knew the song). I'm sure I'm forgetting something (I think there was one more from the new album), but that's the setlist - not in the correct order:
There Goes God
Don’t Stop Now
Say That Again
People Are Like Suns
Silent House
Transit Lounge
World Where You Live
Don’t Dream It’s Over
Something So Strong
Hole in the River
Into Temptation
When You Come
Fall At Your Feet
Weather With You
Pineapple Head/8 Miles High
Locked Out
Distant Sun
Not The Girl You Think You Are
Private Universe
I was hoping for Better Be Home Soon, but I'm not complaining
The band really seemed to have fun on stage, improvising and joking around quite a bit. A guy in front of us filmed some songs with his camera phone, maybe they'll turn up on youtube tomorrow. My sister made some pics, I hope they turn out well.

They played Hole in the River, I LOVE that song!! that breakdown makes me want to jam! I'm glad that you and your sister had a great time at the show.
Thank you! We did have to wait for 22 years and obviously we weren't the only ones. The Viennese audience used to be known for standing around with their hands in their pockets and maybe nod their heads once in a while, but once someone is 'adopted' they can't do no wrong. Seems Crowded House fall in that category now There were also quite obviously a lot of people who had never been to the Arena before - we were asked not only once where the entrace was and if they were really playing here.
The Arena is a former slaughter house that was taken over by the former hippies, punks and communists in a spectacular way in the 70s (even Leonard Cohen came by and played for the occupants) and not much has changed since then. When I had artists playing there when I was still working for a record company, I always apologised for the venue first And if I was still working for said company, CH wouldn't have had to get a taxi to the show, so the cabdriver couldn't have gotten lost :mad:
When Hole in the River started, we both thought it was wishful hearing. They don't play that one very often, do they? We were also really surprised by the inclusion of 8 Mile High in Pineapple Head.

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world." Herman Melville : Moby Dick
Does anyone know if Crowded House are happy with people taping their shows and if boots can be picked up anywhere? There was a company selling 'selected' dates from the UK tour officially, but for whatever reason Bournemouth was not deemed worthy. I'd like to relive it though.
