Brad Barr: The Fall Apartment

[BeatingHippies]

It comes out on my birthday! Holla

[bear]

kind of interested to see how Brad will be able to make Nirvana, erm, interesting.

you may not like Nirvana but how can you say they are not interesting? Like it or not, they are one of the most influential bands ever

[tyler]

yes I know they were very influential. but I still don't see what's so special about them. they just took the Pixies' sound and added a dose of angst.

[SpaceIsThePlace]

Everyone should go illegally download Nirvana now.

haha this thread is getting silly.

I think there was a 'heart shaped box' up on brad's myspace awhile back. It is probably that. It was kind of ambient, slow. In opinion, one of the BEST things i've ever heard the slip do is heart shaped box, on 11-29-03 at the narrows, during cut from the cloth. I had been on the biggest soulive kick then, and andrew's drumming during that jam completely blew anything i had ever heard by any band out of the water.

Portrait of a scientist, the middle section, is a total homage to 'heart shaped box', very similar chord progression, very similar tone to the heart shaped box's they play during cut from the cloth.



I am excited to hear this 'fall apartment' !

16 days and counting...
will it be available via slip.com?

[Cleantone]

bump for the album!

I see it's on Amazon

[Katie]

I think eMusic.com should have it later today too. The link is there but the page isn't working for me yet. Arg! I hope it's up later.

I'll probably purchase the CD when the tour gets here, but it's nice to be able to get it digitally today (and not feel like I'm truly buying it twice, since emusic comes out to about .40$/song pre-paid).

Just bought the 256k mp3's off Amazon... will let you know how it goes!

[Cleantone]

Newbury Comics in Amherst had it for $10.50 total. Sitting right next to the new Metallica. Which by the way I hear is awesome.

I like the new record... haven't even had a chance to listen all the way through due to a busy day but it sounds like a nice Sunday morning record or late late night kind of spin.

Still Shiver is a such a beautiful tune. Can't help but hear the lyrics though..

eggzacklee. it'll be good listening for the fall weather for sure. def glad i was able to snag a hard copy from the local record shop.

Purchased from itunes last night and listened through while making a slow simmering roasted tomato sauce. Great stuff! While I generally love Brad's voice - it's great to have a focus on his astounding guitar work. The covers are well done - and the originals shine.

[harrymcq]

FYI for all those who purchase through iTunes - from iTunes you get protected 128k mp3's whereas from Amazon you get unprotected 256k mp3
's.. I am an Apple man for sure but in this case double your bits and unlock the music at the same time!

I will be sure to buy this one on CD as well for the greater fidelity but wanted something to listen to right away. I just love this disc though I am still anxiously awaiting his NEXT solo CD of songs with words... Hope I don't have to wait as long.

[lumpy]

damn! It was actually my first purchase off of itunes - and I guess my last
