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.)

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

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.

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

Holy shit. Farrenheit!
... And BTW, that Findlay Brown tune is terrific. Nice to see it get play here.
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.

And the "Broken Spindles" is just too close to even raise the faintest of smiles.....
