Life Without Buildings

Mine just came today. I just emailed WYR yesterday to see why it was taking so long and he said they'd just received the re-pressed stock but that he'd found some leftover RSD stock there at the office and sent it out last week. I wonder if the re-pressed albums include the 7".

They are full of shit. I ordered them on May 4th and I mailed them last week and this is what they said.

"If you read teh description it says

"Reissue of Life Without Buildings LP. These copies do not include
the 7". Stock will arrive around May 30th and will ship out after."

BUT! I ended up finding a few extra LP+7" versions and sent one of
those your way yesterday. Expect the record next week.

Kevin"

My email still has the link to the one I ordered

"Life Without Buildings - Any Other City
$24.99"

If it would have been the normal version then it would have been 19.99. I haven't checked my mail box yet.

Amazing how they found some......

He can lie to me all he wants as long as he holds up his end of the bargain. Now that the (RSD version of the) record is in my possession, I no longer care.

this thread just reminded me of the existence of erase errata

nightlife was an astonishing record

classic review:

classic indeed!

yeah this album is incredible. total magic eye thing.

and while the vocalist is undeniably the star, i am not sure this would have worked with a more vigorous or in-any-way-pointed musical backdrop, nor a more ambient one - it's pretty perfect autumn music

ting ting!

love some of the mini crescendos in these songs, those still kill me after all this time
- look back and say that i didn't!
- my lips are sealed (mad as a seal?)
- looookin in your eeeeeyyyyeeessss! looookin in your eeeeeyyyyeeessss! looookin in your eeeeeyyyyeeessss!

Agreed but it's funny how the vocals put most people off. I think it's all the repetition.

imago so otm.

all time album!

I'm hoping Sue did something with Underworld.... she is mentioned in the liner notes of Drift episode 2. One of the guys recently discovered the album and met with her.

did a dj set a few months ago during a happy hour thing I was doing and played Life Without Buildings in a set with Anne Clark, Leslie Winer and Algebra Suicide. One young woman in the audience lost her shit. It was a good set.

looookin in your eeeeeyyyyeeessss! looookin in your eeeeeyyyyeeessss! looookin in your eeeeeyyyyeeessss!

impossible for me not to hear this as "lookin in your arse", but that somehow doesn't distract from the power of the song.

"if i lose you if i lose you if i lose you, to her to her to her" is a thrilling in media res opening too

in the loos
in the loos
in the loos
("leaves", really, i guess)

if i lose you *to her*? I only hear "uh huh" -- same on lyrics sites. She then goes on to elaborate, "in the street".

that live album too, right? goddam

i always heard "to her," or i guess in her accent "to huh"

ooh ooo

Love this album and it makes me so happy how it has a mini fan-club on here.

I go back to their Pop Life cover a lot.

The music is so lush too. Sometimes I want an instrumental version of the album so I can also use it as background jam mood music.

if i lose you *to her*? I only hear "uh huh" -- same on lyrics sites. She then goes on to elaborate, "in the street".

it's 'the huh, the huh, the huh', you can hear it pretty clearly here...

clearly "uh huh" to my ears from that

uh huh? nuh uh

Oh weird, now I hear "the huh, uh huh, uh huh" each time she repeats that part.

yuh huh

my favorite is the one about Laurel

ok but she's definitely saying, "looking in your arse," right?

i always hear arse too tbh, but that's cos i want to

back at 'the leanover', it took me ages to work out where i'd heard the phrase 'i like you mostly late at night' before ('sea song' by robert wyatt obv)

mbv mbv mbv mbv mbv more mbv hi fi.

Have embarrassed myself on a least a couple of occasions by drunkenly telling the guitarist of this group how great they were.

correct protocol imo

Am I missing something here? It's clearly "if I lose, If I lose, If I lose you in the street"

yeah "if I lose"

the many ways the many w-w-ways

dddddddays like television

'leanover' lyrics would be a good poll

guys ffs it's "a Fallujan street". it takes place in Iraq.

the album was released two years before the war in Iraq started

I..um..... think about that and post back?

Haven't listened to this stuff yet but just found a yt user who's uploaded an australian radio session...

We don't drive. We walk everywhere,

'Liberty Feel-Up' always reminds me of the Blue Aeroplanes circa 1986 when they really had that beatnik poetry meets Tom Verlaine guitar thing dialled like a fine-tuned engine. '14 Days' hits that spot too

not sure about this new direction
