I bought all three on friday. I've only listened to Trust. I must say, I'm a little let down. Whereas the outtakes of Imperial Bedroom feature versions of songs that are very different from the album cuts; lyrics, melody, rythym, etc, the takes on Trust seem to only be stripped down versions of the final product. I don't see all of the rework and reinvention of the IB outtakes. I'd be interested to hear other's thoughts on this.

Wow...there's a spooky Omaha connection going on here... I lived in Omaha when I was 12 (see thread Thinking Ahead), and so did A Rope Leash...
has anyone else on the board been to Omaha?? I like the fact that people from the Cornhusker state hate people from Iowa (Idiots About Wandering Around anyone?)...such pointless rivalry always brings a smile to my face!
Roberts..how do they make it taste so good?
Speaking of Omaha, I saw the Counting Crows when I was in Phoenix this summer, and they were really bad....

High Plains Drifter
Back when Iowa was first starting up with riverboat gambling, the governor of Nebraska was quoted as saying "...if that boat turns around and enters our side of the river, we'll blow it out of the water".
Omaha is a very Catholic place. Council Bluffs is a bit like Soddom and Gamora to Omaha. Nebraska has always been opposed to gambling, but I believe that they now have their own state lottery.
I was very lonely in Omaha, having moved there from southern California. I just did not click with anybody. It was a strange time for me.
I may have actually been to the elementary school that was mentioned. I was working for an advertising huckster who did a lot of activities involving school-aged kids, so I made regular visits to a lot of schools in Nebraska. Ever hear of Channel One Television?
One thing about Omaha: too much salt! All the used cars are rusted-out hulks! I still get to Omaha once in a while...in fact, I was there two weeks ago...
I need someone to verify my corn flakes statement.
Small world, sorta...

I live in the Northwest side of town, near 108th & Fort. I've lived here all of my life, some would think this is an unfortunate thing but I've grown to love this place. I really wouldn't want to live anywhere else honestly.Ha' Penny Millionaire wrote:Branst, I'm a Midtown denizen. Whence comest thou?
One day I'm thinking about the lack of Costello fans in Omaha and I find this board where they're a dime a dozen.laughingcrow wrote:Wow...there's a spooky Omaha connection going on here... I lived in Omaha when I was 12 (see thread Thinking Ahead), and so did A Rope Leash...

Yes, we're "rivals" with Iowa but Missouri and Colorado should definitely be added to that mix. Recently it has much more to do with college football than anything.
Funny how gambling is such a big issue in Nebraska. After a few years of seeing how well it's worked on the other side, you'd think that they'd consider intergrating it into Omaha but they are all fixed on keeping it out of Omaha. More money for Iowa.A rope leash wrote:Back when Iowa was first starting up with riverboat gambling, the governor of Nebraska was quoted as saying "...if that boat turns around and enters our side of the river, we'll blow it out of the water".

I remember Channel 1 when I was in junior high school, we would watch it right before we headed to lunch. All I really remember about the actual show though is how cheesy the segments were.

Ch 1
Channel One was designed to hook kids on M&M's and Coca-cola. The rest is just flashy filler.

well. i know this is off the 'omaha' topic but...
i spent saturday and sunday listening to all three.
of course, they were great.
i found 'ptc' the best. hands down.it had more new songs on it. and i found even the 'alternates' clever in their own way.
it is the one i kept going back to.
then,actually, i liked 'trust'. something about it made the songs seem really new. it was like it took me a minute to figure out what song it was tho i have listened to the ryko trust forever.
get happy was a pleasant third.

I like PTC the best out of the reissues too...I mean I loved the others, but I just think that Charm School, The Invisible Man, Mouth Almighty and then King of Thieves feel so intricately woven together like a song cycle. This album always feels so criminally underrated, its got some really brilliant short songs on it, and the brass sounds add so much to the sound of the album.
Back to Omaha.... when I lived in Omaha, a kid of eighteen murdered his mum in the house just behind mine. It must be an american thing, like the NY blackouts or september 11th, cos Ive never seen a community come together so quickly. I liked Omaha, maybe it lacked a little diversity, there was only one black guy in my school, but people were really nice. The old town was a really cool place too!

just bought trust and get happy. i totally dig the full band version of hoover factory on the trust bonus disc and i got a total kick out of the fast versions of watch your step that are on both reissues(buit slightly different). i think the ska influenced original version of new lace sleeves off the gh reissue is outstanding and the cover of slow down completely rocks. i still haven't purchased ptc yet because i can only buy one more cd before payday and i'm going with north.
