Oh man, that’s sad news.
Beside his co-work with Vegard & co on these pages he should also be remembered for maintaining the fabulous (now long defunct) mpfamily.net, keeping track of ongoings in the extended Motorpsycho family – side projects, associates and whatnot for a few years. Sorely missed, but those years of archival work are still available via the Wayback Machine. RIP, Torsten. :MPD:(Edit: I do of course remember that certain people from the good, ol’ community have carried on that «family torch» for quite a while in various forms, but they’re fortunately still with us. :wink: )
A strange loop, indeed.
Ah, DDU in the Opera. Johnny Heartfield’s notes on the cheap stage props and «costumes» reminds me what a shame it was they didn’t take the Spinal Tap potential to the max by having a miniature model ship lowered onto the stage. That alone would have made the show worthy of a DVD release in my book.
It is. The song was made famous by Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, but I think someone else wrote it.
Edit: Apparently (quick google search) it’s written by Parsons and Chris Ethridge.
Consider me waiting in line, then.
Quote:My two cents about this release: it's a bootleg. In all forms. Cheap, limited, rough production, only a part of the whole show, etc.To me this is part of the appeal, even though it’s sort of a bootleg pastiche. We wants it. :wink:
I’m cool with that. In my opinion you’ve already proven you’re not being an asshole, so my second (and last) piece of advice is simple: Do what thou wilt. Good luck!
You can’t. So my suggestion would be a trade with the first and best just to get it over with. That would be me, I guess :wink:

The one with Geb going nuts on the guitar and Bent behind the giant marching bass drum? Please post it, I’m giggling just thinking about it. Priceless!
Upstairs/Downstairs, Walkin’ With J, Never Let You Out and Stained Glass. (Yes, I had to look it up as I had forgotten about this and found it rather surprising myself.)
Re: the "what next?" discussion, I just had an epiphany: I would really, really love to hear a collaboration between Motorpsycho and Huun-Huur Tu (or Alash for that matter!). I just listened to Big Black Dog back to back with Tandym (they're in the same key and everything). How great wouldn't it be to hear those wonderful voices and sounds of Tuva backed by the "oomph" of MP?
Oh well, maybe it's just me.
@supernaut: That’s the closest they’ll ever get, I guess. Wouldn’t mind more oddballs like that one, though!
