I finally finished it!

Swiss, that is great!
It's like you've perfectly captured this moment:
After a long month at the recording studio, the group spends some quality time together in Monte Carlo. The mood is festive, and after a few bottles of Chateau Margaux, Agnetha admits that "...we never thought you would be able to hit that D-major F#7 staccato turnaround in the second verse. Bjorn had even bet me his Lotus-7 on it!!!"
there's a pause, and Tom replies: "What can I say? I'm the KID!"
the room erupts in laughter.
-
The shot then freeze-frames, and the credits roll on another great tour video.
-
I'm a fan of all the decisions the ABBA box has made over the past few weeks.
Keep it up, ABBA Box!

"What's that, David Bowie box?" (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/47250-david-bowie-box) doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Well those are not albums you really want to revisit

Nice work, Swissmiss. You picked the perfect photo of Abba for your composite. The sight lines are spot on; they really do look like they are trained on Tom.
Is there a Zappa box? And when will it throw down with the Abba box?

I disagree. I love my David Bowie box.
EDIT: I didn't realize there was a link until just now. There's ANOTHER David Bowie box? I know what I want for Christmas.
EDIT 2: Pitchfork needs a hug or something.
-
yeah Beth I love that first Bowie box not this one though.
-
Isn't that Bowie box something like having an 80s Neil Young box? You know, all the albums Ronald Thomas Clontle has heard.

I don't know. I think Heathen is an awesome album, people always knock it.
I love David Bowie's earlier stuff more... but I guess my David Bowie obsessiveness might just cancel that out. And I'm eager to hear the remixes. I feel like his later songs are the ones that are more remixable anyway.
Plus (and here's my shallow side) it's so pretty!

I wouldn't call Tin Machine a debacle. I actually consider it the best stuff he's done since Scary Monsters.

DAMN STRAIGHT!

I saw him do 'Hallo Spaceboy' at the Brit Awards in 1996 - I think - and thought "this is the coolest shit ever".
-
and "the heart's filthy lesson" is one of my favorite david bowie songs ever.
-

i think there was a live box.... like it was a bunch of bootlegs that zappa just straight reissued as actual recordings, circa late 80s/early 90s?
-
yeah, "Beat The Boots" in the early 90s. Early Neil Young Live Bootlegs are pretty funny - the guy drops a lot of clams on stage. With regard to Bowie, I too love his early stuff, Hunky Dory is probably my favorite. He did a song called "Little Wonder" in the late 90s that I absolutely adore - so addictive.

Hunky Dory is an awesome early album, but I think Low is my favorite as far as his early stuff.
The Sound+Vision boxed set (the bowie boxed set that spans his career from the very early days to the early ninties) has amazing early demo tracks on it as well, from back when he was davy jones. It's really worth getting, there's some amazing stuff on there. But I'm going to get this new one as well, because I have faith it won't disappoint.
-
Yes, Beth, Low is a great album. I like the Low, Lodger, Heroes Eno collaborations period. Tom has actually played "Boys Keep Swinging" from Lodger, which is a great song. I love Eno's rock albums a lot too - Here Come The Warm Jets, Taking Tiger By Strategy, Another Green World and Before and After Science. Hearing Here Come The Warm Jets reminds me of a certain happy period in my life when I first listened to it. Well, now I'm going to have to go put it on. Geez, you people. :)
-
boys keep swinging is awesome. eno is amazing too, i don't know whether i prefer his glam period or his minimal period. both are good at different times. and i love him with roxy music. "for your pleasure" is glam rock at it's finest.
-
yeah, Tom has great taste in music. I love the wide variety of stuff he plays.
-
Here Come the Warm Jets is a great album. Needles In the Camel's Eye is one of those songs that affects me emotionally without my really understanding why.
