[humdrum]

if you were to make the tracklist for an ariel pink's greatest hits album, what would it be?

bonus: what about grayest hits?

[batmania]

Why bother? It's already been done: http://www.discogs.com/Ariel-Pinks-Haunted-Graffiti-Grandes-Exitos-Greatest-Hits/release/1889798

I love love love grandes exitos, but I have always felt like west coast calamaties should be on there too.... I have also recently discovered that I like the version of Can't Hear My Eyes that is on there much better than the version that is on Before Today...just my opinion, of course! and I would totally add the LIST too!!


hey batmania - I saw that Ariel is coming your way (maybe - since I don't my austrailian geography very well) next year...will you be able to attend? I sure hope sure!!

I sure hope so! I don't live in one of the major cities, but I'll try to make the effort to see them next year. Last time I managed to see AP at a festival, which was still pretty good, though they only played new material. I missed out when he played at my uni

Was listening to Grandes Exitos and I have a question: on what releases did Shes Gone, Spires In the Snow, Evolution's A Lie, and Can't Hear My Eyes originate?

Not sure about She's Gone, but...

Spires in the Snow was on Underground (I think?). Evolution's a Lie and Can't Hear My Eyes were released on the Can't Hear My Eyes 7" single a few years ago, and were both re-recorded for Before Today. There is actually a third version of Eyes out there. When I ordered the Cooler Cat 7" the band sent me a CD of rarities, which included the first recording of it, as well as an alternate take of She's Gone.

[possiblegrenade]

Ah you're right, not sure how I missed Spires In the Snow. And I never paid attention to the release date of the Can't Hear My Eyes single, I had always assumed it was the new versions. Interesting about Shes Gone...

[kate]

She's Gone was on Live from Pacific Palisades...does anybody else have this?

I have always wondered who Ariel is talking to on Real Bad Liar.....the band? the audience?

Zombies, Zombies, Zombies!!! I die laughing every single time..........

[Jacob]

I think the one talking is Jason Greer AKA Super Creep

[kate]

oh- that makes a lot of sense!! it's not even ariel at all! DUH!!! ok - thanks Jacob!
