Remember those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books? Well, here's an internet-based version ...

And East Village is the best band you've never heard of.

Harvey, thank you. Thank you a million times over.

Ah! Glad it arrived safely. That live set is stunning, no? In spite of the tuning problems. So much furious energy.

Yes, it's here - it arrived on Monday. Thank you!!! It's ... amazing. I don't know if it's "Worth $600 Amazing", but it's definitely one of the best albums I've ever heard. And, yeah - the live set is outstanding. I haven't even listened to the entire live set, though - I keep making it through track # 12 and I can't get past it. That song is amazing. I'm still not totally familiar with "Drop Out" so I don't even know which one it is ...

I think I'm going to order the "Drop Out" CD from EIL today. I can't help myself.

Thanks a million, though! I really, really appreciate what you did. Hey, I'd like to send some music your way, but I'm afraid I have never copied vinyl to CD - is it okay for me to send you a cassette tape? I can do that ... but copying vinyl to CD is something I've never done, and I don't even know where to begin figuring out how to do it ... haha. I'm so technically-illiterate ...

That album is amazing. I just heard it for the first time on Monday and I've been ... obsessed ever since. Harvey Williams made a copy for me ... and, it's a good thing that he did because an official copy recently sold on eBay for $600! I wish I could find the eBay page to show you, as proof, but, trust me ... it did happen! Unreal ... it's an outstanding album, though.

Yeah, Harvey's the best. I don't want to entirely give him away, but he's been leaving comments on my journal on the past few entries, so look for those and drop him a line sometime. He's really the nicest person. I got the EV album for free, and it sold recently on eBay for $600! I have to somehow reward Harvey, but what do I give the man who I'm assuming has every great record? If you can think of anything, let me know ...

Man ... $3 for 'Hotrod Hotel' though? Wow, that is the steal of the century. That album is amazing ...

Harvey sent me some live tracks from the last-ever EV show, so if you want a CD of those (I think there are only maybe 6 or 7 live tracks), let me know ... I'll fill the rest of the disc with assorted stuff, if you'd like.

I'm not sure - I've only played this twice. Let me know if you figure it out.
