    sweet on the show! if you don't have any of their stuff, i'd recommend 'recurring dream' which is a best-of collection. that'll help you be familiar with most of what they'll be playing. also check out their set at live earth on the live earth website too! and their new album of course :)

    That is awesome!! I agree w/what everyone else said...Recurring Dreams and Woodface...such a GREAT album and I LOVE Paul's song, "Italian Plastic" :)

    I listened to the new album, Time On Earth, they had it streaming on VH1.com and I really dug it! To me, it sounds like CH, even though we all know that Neil writes all the songs. :) But still, those songs are very powerful, especially Silent House. Everytime I hear that song, I become very sad. Neil is one of the most underrated songwriters of all time. I wonder how he got involved working w/the Dixie Chicks. Did they sought him? hmmm Anyone know how this happened?

    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 :p:)

    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 :)

    i got 'say that again' on repeat at work right now :)

    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!!!

    that is awesome! congrats!!! :D 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 :D

    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 :p I know you'll have fun at CH! :D
