Thinking that a unified and conceptually rigorous version of The Who, with the four album run of Sell Out, Tommy, Lifehouse, and Quadrophenia would have been much less interesting than what history provided, even were it all the same material

Agreed. I sometimes think they should've (could've) almost been a 70s CCR, constantly churning out brilliant singles...in fact, they seemed to take a shot at that in late '71/'72 with the run of "Let's See Action" - "Join Together" - "The Relay," but unfortunately none were particularly big hits.

lol, some aspects of that are such good fakery, like a 1:19 interlude called "Autumn Nocturne," some of the rest is sooo hacky. Duet with Marilyn Manson, yeah right.

Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel Road was 90% finished before she fell out with the producer and redid the entire album. The first version leaked and is a lame piece of work compared to the released version.

"I'm finding EMI/Virgin seem to have a lot of scheduling conflicts this year, which has put an awful lot on the back burner. Toy is finished and ready to go, and I will make an announcement as soon as I get a very real date.. "
