the animosity toward "a star is bored" is starting to really get to me. no one (except for daisy & myself) thinks this song is just gorgeous & heartbreaking? jesus people! are you made of stone?
if i had to choose either "asib" or "egw", i would shoot myself.

I love 'A Star Is Bored', too. I mean, I say I really like the Guthrie version 'cause thats ok--right? But truth is I liked it anyway. And 'Nowhere Man' you & i are outcasts in the westercommunity.

but based on the track listing for Besterberg, i would say this CD is being marketed to the die-hards and not the new fans. why else put a bunch of random soundtrack and b-sides on the album? if it were to gain the attention of first-time listeners, it'd have every track her released as a single and couple of one-off never released things to capture the completeist nerds. (there was something else here when i posted.... honestly.)

definitely think "waitin' for somebody" should kick it all off like his live shows; at least to have the track on an all westerberg disc vs. singles sndtk. Oh well Surprised that b-sides are being representative of his "best" erberg. They should have been relegated to a bonus disc. If John q. consumer thinks a star is bored or stain yer blood are essential, it's misleading slow down, slim. it's no secret that i love "a star is bored", and that makes me weird, but pretty much every fan loves "seein' her". that makes it essential. if you are judging "essential" tunes based on sales or airplay, you are barking up the wrong tree.

there's way more eventually there than i had expected. i second that emotion... mind you, i am happy to hear it, but i am surprised. "angels walk" is one of my favorite westy tunes.

2 things:
i cannot believe "a star is bored" made the cut. i thought i was the only one who adored that song. glad it will be on there.
i am REALLY anxious to hear "all that i had" & "c'monx3"
ok, 3 things...
i am absolutely floored that "waiting on somebody" didn't make the cut. i mean, shit, it was in a tv commercial, and it is pretty well known.
i wonder if there will be a "hidden track"... and if that track might be "everything goes wrong"...
(fine! 4 things!)
