Sweet song, Edith. I even got my guitar out to play along. Haven’t done that in a while in such a spontaneous way. Good sign.

My friend/co-worker Julia (a.k.a. the Cowgirl, host of her little 2 hrs. of local noteriety every Sat. at noon on <www.whus.org> found in her mailbox at the station today (Saturday) the advance copy of "It’s A Game" and played "My Lover Won’t Call" for the first song. This is a beautiful album in all its understated straight from the heart honesty, simplicity, upbeat melancholy and Edith-ethereal-cowgirl-soul. Words don’t quite describe this album’s emotional listening experience. A dreamlike serenade for all us (sometimes) lonely little dreamers. The thing about this record of yours (and two of the other three) is how it transcends time and place. Play it 47, 64 or 110 years from now, and it will be as present and undated as if it were just recorded. "Lucky Charm," "It’s A Game," and "If It Weren’t for the Words" each sound as if they could have been written and recorded in 1958, 1941 or 1895 … or in 2052, 2069 or 2115 (no matter what kind of music/sound may be popular in the future. Happiness ‘n Heartache ain’t going outta style anytime in the next century or millenia. I know all these songs are firmly rooted in the present. I just think that they’re here to stay. Just one question: where did you find that yellow merry-go-round horse on the cover? The handwritten lyrics and graphics by Laura Park are better than any typeset font or clipart doodads could ever be. Five years is a long wait between CDs (but not as long as the 20 years it took Big Star to put out a new one.)

I’m glad you dig it Clay! The pony on the cover is the one I rode at Six Flags Great America on my birthday in 2003. I was *on* the pony, just leaned over and snapped the pic, hence the weird angle. The original’s on my Flickr, there’s a bigger version if you click the "see different sizes" link.

It wasn’t easy to find this song, but it was worth looking for it. After I’ve heard it, I knew this was what I wanted to listen to and to play all my life.
I love it.

Aww drat. The mp3s are gone! Why do bloggers insist on putting mp3s up for only a limited time anyway?! Why not just put it on rapidshare or megaupload, etc, so people can download them indefinitely? Is it a ploy to get people to visit their blogs frequently so they don’t miss out? Why must people with busy lives and tons of websites to keep up with, be disappointed like this?! Arrgh. Not to mention future-fans who go looking at old links, looking up their new-favorite artists, and end up with that sinking feeling in their stomach or tension in their chest because they’re TOO LATE. It’s so depressing to be too late. Okay, I’ll stop now. But I WANT THOSE SONGS! sob

Don’t have a cow! It was just one song (that the label posted, not me) and you can hear it right now on MySpace if you want. http://www.myspace.com/edithfrost
