    Where did Evan Rachel Wood get that voice!

  • http://jackfear.blogspot.com Jack Feerick

    I know, right? And I love the arrangement – so delicate.

    I'll be writing about Across the Universe in a week or two. It doesn't really succeed as a complete film, but it's got some wonderful moments.

    Farrenheit! Nice. That's one of those albums I wish was available through iTunes for download…though, to be fair, I can imagine it's not really what you'd call a hot commodity. (I actually only know one other person who still proclaims to be a fan of those guys.)

    I liked that Peter Gabriel song the first time I heard it. It would have been a huge hit for him if he had released it 15-20 years earlier. instead, it came and went almost unnoticed. I would never have even known about it if I hadn't seen the movie in which it was featured.

    I second the love for Farrenheit. I had almost forgotten about them until Charlie Farren showed up doing some backing vocals for the last Boston album. His voice was a great fit.

    Holy shit. Farrenheit!

    Well, he kinda had to wait for Stephin Merritt to write it, first…

    Judging by the responses here, there's a groundswell of demand for Farrenheit reissues.

    WARNER BROS.! RE-RELEASE FARRENHEIT ON iTUNES!

    And the “Broken Spindles” is just too close to even raise the faintest of smiles…..

    I feel your pain, man – albeit on a lesser scale. The MP3 revolution is a great, great thing, but it's a scary thought that a fall, or a virus, or a close encounter with a ceramic magnet, can wipe it all away.

    My daughter doesn't own a single store-bought CD. Her experience of music is entirely digital – which, I suppose, means she's got less clutter in her life; but it's all too ephemeral for me. Give me a CD with the book and the fold-out, or a shellac 78 I can hold in my hand and feel the grooves under my fingertips.
