question about the "new" songs

[joethelion]

specifically "Always Loved a Film" and "Strumpet" -

ok I know I've read about both of them in various threads buuuut ...

I JUST got three of the liveherenow cd's (which don't feature the new songs) [and finally a pair of the awesome socks, which I'm already wearing... and showed off to my g/f, who basically just rolled her eyes at me ] and I'm debating buying the newer Brixton show

so what I was wondering -

is the version of ALaF closer to the (better) 'old' version, which had that nice slow, rolling bassline (like as played at Electraglide - aka the version that was in the UWlive video clip of Karl reading bits off of "In the Belly of Saint Paul") or is like the faster version(s) as played on the various dirty radio shows... oooor is it like the streaming file online now?)

[side note: anyone know how to record the streaming files? I can't wait till this (hopefully) will be available to buy...]

and "Strumpet" - is it a proper song? Ok wait - I don't think that's a fair word to use... I guess I should say - is it longer than 2-3 minutes long? And I think dubman said that it was an old improv from around 2000 but I forget which show... or did it appear before now at all?


...maybe I should just wait until the 11th and just buy the download wav files

ALAF in its current form is closest to the Version 4(?) posted on the website, with the major addition of lyrics.

Strumpet is a proper song, about 8 minutes long. It was played before (and mixed with) Confusion the Waitress at Electraglide 2000 (available on the Horde FTP). It's slightly more fleshed out now, including the addition of lyrics.

s'funny, my missis' reaction was the same too

i was at the recent gigs and strumpet was sounding fantastic - i've ordered the 2 cd's so i'll let u know (imho) wot version sounds the best. it's deffo a proper song tho... "there is one bird in my house"

p.s. from uwlive it looks like you'll only have to wait til the 10th for the wavs

The brighton videos of ALAF and Strumpet are on the RTSR tracker.

They sound excellent but anyone have trouble playing them? I've never had a problem streaming files before ( and yes everything's updated) but for some reason they play like a scratched CD, and there's no way to download them. I'd rather just pay to have them just so I can hear it properly.

Make sure you have the latest QuickTime installed:

I've been wondering the same thing. Is it as simple as buying QT Pro and electing to save as a movie?

No.

i used to have some freeware, Streambox Ripper i think, that allowed you to record streams... but it doesn't work for this, either.

Guess it's back to the old days of putting microphone up to the speaker
