LILYS - Classic / Dud + Search / Destroy

Thanks again for the uploads, these early tracks are making me really nostaglic for Eccsame era stuff: "The Turtle Which..." etc.

Man, Eccsame is such an amazing record, it's just so low key that it's almost designed to be passed over, but if you spend a bit of time with it, it'll bury itself deep into you.

Maybe I've been losing my shit over no one, for some time.

It's weird how markedly different those first...idk five? albums are, like five different bands.

YES!

Maresnest can you please re-up the VPRO link? Looks like I forgot to click...

Also wondering if Albert was ever able to track down the missing file for Hark, The Open Energy Channel Is Icy Water, Water Everywhere (B-side)?

It is not a rarity per se, it's just the first track of Services For The Soon To Be Departed tacked on as a b-side to an import single.

That said, I do "own" it. Where it is, or my impending access to such is a big question.

No worries Evan, do you have the 'Services...' EP? I can include that also.

It is amazing actually, every bit as great as BCMYLB

When I say "the first track" it's like the first 3 tracks of the EP which are seamless. It's a little more free/frenetic than BCMYLB imho.

Thanks! And I do have Services so no worries there! I figured the "b-side" version would have been a little different.

It was tacked on as a b-side to the "Nanny" 1998 re-release as that EP didn't get UK distro.

thx yr the best

That 1992 "Station Tapes" version of TASS is incredible via headphones, amazing that he felt that version was not up to snuff!

Though I do love the 1998 version as well.

There's a new Lilys song on the Lodge 49 soundtrack that just came out, "Unheard of Curiosities"

From his 2006 bio:

Not so long ago Kurt’s wife went out and didn’t come back. She might one day. For now Kurt is a single father of 3 children. He was himself expelled from high school after 42 absences. Turns out he was at home sequencing software and fiddling with editing software. There are worse things 15 year olds can do. It’s been tough bringing up the kids alone so he was glad of the helping hands of producer Mike Musammo when it came to making the new record.

BCMYLB was released 10 years previous, and listening back to the lyrics with this relationship in mind, certain lines/phrases seem rather personal in a way that 1996 lyrics of his peers were not.

oof at that last revive.

Just noticed that the vinyl and CD of Brief History... have different track listings. Is "Glosseder" the same song as "Evel Knievel" or a different one?

Yeah Glosseder is a different song.

YSI

It's a vinyl rip - https://we.tl/t-7D27lbyB3y
