Hopefully the K tracks will come out for Wii. About the "Bright Yellow Gun" thing, I realized that you probably can't do that, as K's old label must own all those old Muses songs. But, if you or someone else involved with K still did want to do some older songs, maybe you could contact some bastard representative from the music corporation and say "hey, we'll give you a free cut if you let us make use of the song that we ourselves wrote?" Maybe they will go for that. :) BillyO on "Something awesome this way comes ..." http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/something-awesome-this-way-comes#post-3091 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:08:30 +0000 BillyO 3091@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ That one's "Radiant Addict"... halfbornhalfmade on "Something awesome this way comes ..." http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/something-awesome-this-way-comes#post-3090 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:57:48 +0000 halfbornhalfmade 3090@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ oh my wow! thank you! i want more!!!! i can't wait!!!! oh yes! also - do you know what that song is called? steveR on "Something awesome this way comes ..." http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/something-awesome-this-way-comes#post-3089 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:36:46 +0000 steveR 3089@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ In studio with FFW. 3/8/10.

Also, RB2 on Wii will also let you use your Guitar Hero guitar as well so you'll be able to use that instrument and not have to fork out for more gear. ethicalpaul on "Rock Band Network" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/rock-band-network#post-3087 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:56:30 +0000 ethicalpaul 3087@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ I will yell it loudly when/if the songs arrive on other platforms--I'm a PS3 guy myself.

I only have Guitar Hero: World Tour for the Wii, I've yet to buy a Rock Band but this will likely make me buy it, depending what system is best. This is the kind of thing Rock Band should have had from the beginning, nice to see it finally happening. How about some classic muses tracks next? Bright Yellow Gun anyone? xander on "TM, KH, Belly, TD record sleeves" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/tm-kh-belly-td-record-sleeves#post-3085 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 03:05:50 +0000 xander 3085@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ A Belly reunion would be cool- even if only to put out an EP of songs that were left unfinished at the time; probably won't happen, I just hate to see people not getting along. If there's one band I'd like to see re-form it's The Sugarcubes. Bjork has had some good solo songs but I think the 'cubes had something special together (though I could do w/out the male vocalist). (I haven't seen many "Friends" episodes but that's how I feel about "Roseanne"-I stopped paying attention after Darlene's wedding to David. Things got too wierd and it stopped being funny.) petrolboy on "BBC 6music" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/bbc-6music#post-3084 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:38:38 +0000 petrolboy 3084@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Not meaning to harp on about this, but I just wanted to point out for those not familiar with the issues that the closure isn't proposed because the station is performing badly, quite the opposite. They've increased listeners significantly every year without major marketing and despite being digital only and have won numerous awards for the different shows. The closure is a reaction to a trust report which suggests the BBC needs to contract a little and focus its efforts, which makes it all the more aggravating seeing as the station really does represent quality over quantity. David Bowie and Lily Allen are amongst stars who've added their support. Amusingly, the link below has a little bar chart which shows Kristin's records are played twice as much on BBC 6music as any other BBC station! <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/0b461f11-c7af-4ddb-a30e-5cb0aabb3e7f" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/0b461f11-c7af-4ddb-a30e-5cb0aabb3e7f</a> petrolboy on "TM, KH, Belly, TD record sleeves" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/tm-kh-belly-td-record-sleeves#post-3083 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:27:44 +0000 petrolboy 3083@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Xander - I found your comment amusing, and yes, I'd love to see Belly reform if only for a concert or online release or something. There never was too much exposed about the reasons for the break up and I like to think there weren't bitter rows. I think Chris mentioned he'd be up for it once but I think Tanya is too settled in things to need to/want to go back. Plus, in a way, I like the fact they left things at a good time, it'd be awful if they ended up dissolving because the music ended up getting a bit tripey. Vaguely similar (but not) in that I think Friends went on a bit too much and I lost interest after series 45; it's always good if you're left wanting more. Rugan - Whisky Tango is my favourite Tanya album! Has a real classic dusty old record feel to it with robust songs.

Dunno if such a thing would be feasible... it would involve enlisting the services of a second guitarist for starters. But, oh boy, those songs could tear the place up in a live arrangement! derek denim on "The problem with Kristin Hersh" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/the-problem-with-kristin-hersh#post-3081 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:00:20 +0000 derek denim 3081@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ I think I understand what you mean. But I think the problem lies with the music industry and the masses of people who prefer fluffed up crap music rather than anything with substance. ska4me on "Another tragic loss: Sparklehorse’s Mark Linkous Takes Own Life" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/another-tragic-loss-sparklehorse%e2%80%99s-mark-linkous-takes-own-life#post-3080 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:54:02 +0000 ska4me 3080@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Oh, geez. Billy, I hope this doesn't hit her too hard. She's had more than enough pain to deal with lately. Selfishly, I'm left thinking, "What if?", as that's a pairing I'd readily have used frequent flier miles to come and see. Sigh. Ironically, I learned this morning that "Dark Night of the Soul" finally IS going to be released. Nice timing, record company execs. <a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2010/03/sparklehorses_m.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2010/03/sparklehorses_m.html</a> I sat up quite late last night listening to Mark's music and drowning my sadness in beer. I still can't believe this has happened...

We were due to play a show with Mark in London in July...what is happening here? I can hardly bring myself to tell Kristin...

What is happening here? Mark Linkous... He and Kristin are the 2 artists I have been carrying around my whole life, very near to my heart. I feel nauseous, this hurts. Vivadixie is still one of my favorite records of all time. He supposed to had almost finished his latest, and turns out to by, last album... All the best to his family.

Might even give me an incentive to get Rock Band 2 on the Wii, as the downloadable stuff is generally only available for RB on that format. Let's just hope for a Wii release - after all, the note tracking and all stuff like that is done (and it's difficult to do because of all the difficulty levels you've got to do for each instrument!) so kudos to ethicalpaul for that. Now back to all "Monkey Gone To Heaven" on Guitar Hero 5 - I want to nail it on hard!!

Edit: Just seen Paul's post on wildvanilla: ""Select songs" will be made available for the PS3 (and maybe the wii, not sure) after a 30 day exclusivity period for the xbox. Unfortunately, they haven't given any clues which songs will be sent over, so cross your fingers" So, fingers crossed.... ethicalpaul on "Rock Band Network" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/rock-band-network#post-3075 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:25:09 +0000 ethicalpaul 3075@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Very cool, firepile!!

Plus, I know there are fans of the man here... I'm in utter shock and horribly sad after arriving home tonight to read this on Facebook: Sparklehorse From the Linkous Family: "It is with great sadness that we share the news that our dear friend and family member, Mark Linkous, took his own life today. We are thankful for his time with us and will hold him forever in our hearts. May his journey be peaceful, happy and free. There’s a heaven and there’s a star for you." Some of you may recall that for years, I've expressed a dream that Kristin would one day work with Mark. So many other artists with a similar vibe and approach to music had worked with Mark, of whom I was a HUGE fan, I thought it would be natural fit. Perhaps the most disturbing thing is that Spaklehorse's final home page was a link to K's CASH page with her memories of and fundraising efforts for the family of Vic, who sang on Sparklehorse's last album, "Dark Night of the Soul" (a collaboration with Danger Mouse and David Lynch, with numerous guest vocalists), as well as the 2001 release (ironically titled, in retrospect), "It's a Wonderful Life." Just two weeks ago, I watched Suzanne Vega perform her contribution to "Dark Night" live. It was magical. I feel like crying right now. Another gifted musician with a tragic story behind him—he actually died in 1996 of a drug overdose and was brought back to life but left temporarily crippled—who apparently didn't feel equipped to handle life on this planet, lost. If you're so inclined, there's more info here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yduleb9" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yduleb9</a> And to hear the album which Vic appeared on, "Dark Night of the Soul"—an album that rather criminally will never be released due to contract disputes—you can legally listen to it on NPR's web site (or email me for a download link): <a href="http://tinyurl.com/qa5n88" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/qa5n88</a> firepile on "Rock Band Network" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/rock-band-network#post-3073 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:52:36 +0000 firepile 3073@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Ok, we broke out the Rock Band tonight (we hadn't actually played since we did a full-band Endless Setlist back when we lived in Portland- almost 2 years ago!) I drummed the hell out of Fortune and Mississippi Kite, and now that I've played them, they rock even more than I could've predicted! So kudos, Paul! I think the new Muses tracks would be PERFECT for this medium. ethicalpaul on "Rock Band Network" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/rock-band-network#post-3072 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:40:41 +0000 ethicalpaul 3072@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ You go, mudrock! tinghog on "The problem with Kristin Hersh" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/the-problem-with-kristin-hersh#post-3071 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 01:48:07 +0000 tinghog 3071@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ A more appropriate topic would perhaps have been the problem with "kristin Hersh" ...Hope the topic didn't offend anyone tinghog on "The problem with Kristin Hersh" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/the-problem-with-kristin-hersh#post-3070 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 01:40:32 +0000 tinghog 3070@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ I still wish that kristin would have commercial success... i still don't understand why this is not happening... or maybe i do....kristins solo albums are good...throwing muses latest album is good...50 foot wave albums/eps are good. Good in the sense that i could play it for friends and they will say: "sounds good, but not astonishing"...And i agree.... Kristin only becomes astonishing when you merge these three together. They balance each other in a very sophisticated way I think. Therefore i wish that a future throwing muses album would merge all three of these ingredients. Therefore i wish that a future throwing muses album would include opiates and slippershell…..And with Milan sounding like another “Your ghost”, another Throwing muses album could become a mini massive commercial success. tinghog on "MIlan" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/milan#post-3069 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:45:40 +0000 tinghog 3069@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ This song is really something out of the ordinary... I listened three or maybe four time to it and thought: hmmmm, this is a decent song i hope they make something great out of it. Then i switched back to listening to Bryan Adams. But this stupied song came back to me a couple of days later while walking to work.Now i cant't let it go. the song is very synchronized with my brainbeat and now i can't let it go. to me Milan sounds very much like Your Ghost pt II. I have no idea how the lyrics actually go, but "baptize a bit" is my new guiding words of wisdom mudrock on "Rock Band Network" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/rock-band-network#post-3068 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:20:59 +0000 mudrock 3068@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ i may take a crack at power and light..... conski on "MIlan" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/milan#post-3067 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:19:48 +0000 conski 3067@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ I'm really digging Milan. Kristin's using a different voice (more growly and a lower register) and it's quite moving. ethicalpaul on "Rock Band Network" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/rock-band-network#post-3066 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:53:49 +0000 ethicalpaul 3066@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ aww thanks everyone! It has seriously been the most intense and rewarding geek-out project I have ever worked on. That article is very accurate, it's just like he says (well except I have proven you don't HAVE to be a pro)! I do want to do more of them, but power+light is out at least as a single entity--there is a 10 minute limit per song. Other issues can also come up, such as power+light kicking my ass if I tried to deconstruct it :) ska4me on "Rock Band Network" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/rock-band-network#post-3065 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:48:25 +0000 ska4me 3065@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Kristin just tweeted about this, too.
