One Line
A line for the day. From A C Newman's album the Slow Wonder (op
cit), which I've been listening to the past few months. The song "On
the Table" : Copping a plea, is the new - innocent.
That's it I'm done, I'm in a single thought framing of mind, see you all tomorrow.
...Later that very next day... Allright; when I finally got around to looking it up I see that line actually reads: Copping a plea as they went. Innocent. Do re mi innocent. Now the plain blondes are playing along with you.
I dunno I think I like my version better. Maybe I can impress on
Mr. Newman to change it for the next edition. Some of you may be
thinking right now- "record albums don't have second editions, Paul."
Why not? If it were a live recording by a large symphony orchestra that
might pose some logistic difficulties, but this is a modern pop record.
An edit like that ought not be more difficult than a cut 'n paste using
Garageband [dot accent] on a powerbook with a 17 inch monitor.
I remember reading once that REM were so out of sorts with the way
"Feables of the Reconstruction" (no wait I think that actually reads
"Fables...") turned out, that they wanted to re-record the whole thing
and release it as a new album. F.o.t.R/R.o.t.F - 2nd ed. revised. Think
about it. Better to light a candle, than to curse the darkness.
