howling wolf orchestra

[newspearmint]

anyone familiar with this release? what's it like? i compeltey missed it as it sold out before i had chance to get it..and now i rarely hear it mentioned....nor does it seem any songs are played live. (i think i heard 'i'm dirty' once at a show).

a few okay songs, a few terrible ones. one of the first releases to be labeled "Milking the Fans."

howling wolf orchestra is?

I haven't listened to it in a looong time, but I remember it being sorta like "Bob, Jim Pollard, and Nate do Krautrock" (w/ really mixed results). "I'm Dirty" is a decent little song that stands out from the rest. And "IBC" has a good groove going.

It's one of the more tossed-off sounding Fading Captains and not worth paying whatever inflated price it sells for on ebay. Download it if you can.

HWO didn't do much for me. If you can find Lexo And The Leapers, snatch it up. It's a great record....underrated, in my opinion. It's up there with Bee Thousand if you ask me.

I'd be happy to copy this for anyone, considering it's out of print, but what's the protocol here? Don't want to get anyone mad (or arrested!)

Only, what, five or six songs, but they're all killer. Time Machines is amazing live, too. And a lot of the time I prefer the Lexo version of Fair Touching to the Isolation Drills.

You never hear anyone mention the "Fair Touching" thing. I like the Lexo version better as well. I remember when I first heard Isolation Drills. Listening to the ID version of "Fair Touching" made me do the sideways Mick Jagger face. Don't get me wrong. I like the ID version as well though. It's got great opportunities for plenty of high kicks.
