Deluxe version just arrived in the mail!

Deluxe version just arrived in the mail!

I'm irked, as I pre-ordered the deluxe CD a couple of weeks ago and got an email today that it just shipped, expected delivery about a week.  Might break down and go for the $4 download on Amazon...

I broke down last night when I checked my order and noticed it hadn't  shipped.  I immediately canceled  my order and purchased the deluxe download that came with a digital booklet.Sooooooo happy I did  :D I have to buy the album any way in order to be a part of the mini-show at Amoeba record store. Who knows, I might even score a signature from the fellas :)

I would go for it!  Time's too short w/ concert two weeks away.

Only $4 on Amazon.... unreal.  I thought that was a misprint, but it's not.  I like all of the singers so I'm now even more fired up for the show.   

[Darkstarflashes]

I got the two disc version just a few hours ago. I think it is a very good album, but I mostly got it to hear the studio version of "Changing World". I like that song a lot. When Yim did this song at the KFTC show, I thought it was from his soon to be released solo album. He put a lot of passion into that performance. I have watched and listened to it many times since I recorded it back on December 29, 2011.

"Changing World" can be found at about 20:45 into the 1st part of Yim's set. I have re-posted all 3 parts of what I recorded that night. (The video quality of the 2nd half of his set is better. The audio is about the same all the way through.)

Yim Yames - 1st half of his set at the Brown Theatre in Louisville, Kentucky on 12-29-2011

from NPR article -- Jim is talking about me again...melting....

We asked James about his connection to "Empty Bed Blues:"

I was going through this period of just having been injured and spending a long time in an empty bed recovering. I felt like the portions of life when you're not in love or when you're not experiencing romance or some kind of connection at that time had been so long for me. I felt like I was in an empty bed so much and the lyrics of that song really resonated. Shortly after the injury experience though — I fell in love ... and had this new person that I was and am really in love with ... so it was new then and in the beginning phases of a long-distance relationship ... when they're so far away, but you want them near you so very bad. You're in your empty bed suffering and you want them close and you are really thinking about it with everything you have ... and you believe that if they'd just come see you soon ... that everything could be A-OK ... that they could save your life somehow just by being there ... and then they do.

does this call for a bathtub smiley?  no?  inappropriate?

I think it does . And I  think that your reaction calls for several more


After listening to My Revolutionary Mind, I'm going to add a few more!
