Re: Your favorite Slip "covers"

MJ's Human Nature

and don't forget the Roller Derby show of mostly covers including Owner of a Lonely Heart... although... they did seem to be just having a lot of fun at that one and maybe it's not the best representation of their musical abilities.

Re: Your favorite Slip "covers"

that everybody wants to rule the world is from a halloween show in Northhampton - it was awesome! I was just posting over in Trading about if anyone had the Duo's opening set. I'm gonna go poke around and see if I have the slip set.

ISO The duo opening for the slip

They opened for the Slip at a Halloween show in... 2004? 5 in Northampton. They covered Elliott Smith and also did some great version of Sunny's Song.

Anyone have it?

Re: The Slip With Love artwork

that "call it what you like" on there, which I can totally hear brad telling the person who compiled this thing to call it, is one of my fav slip things. I wonder if more of whatever show that was is around? Anyone know/have?

Re: Happy Queen of the Breakers release day

PROS Focussed, tight, cohesive. I think it's a little more fun than Sleeping Operator, and also more energetic than 1st release. I think playing Barr Bros stuff to the uninitiated is tough, but there's more songs here that would appeal to people unfamiliar with the band. I think Kompromat stands out...

Re: Barr Bros LP3

iTunes store Queens of the Breakers - hit "preview all" and you'll get about 1:00 or so of all of the new songs - sounds amazing! I had to stop myself after a few because I want to be a little more surprised on the 13th.

Re: Barr Bros Rockwood Music Hall 9.20

Great to see so many familiar faces in line and in the crowd last night. I felt the show was one of the best short sets they've ever put on. The energy in the room was electric, the songs were well rehearsed and the sound was very good was where I was standing. I shot some video but nothing long eno...

Re: New Barr Brothers album Oct 13th!!!

Kisses from Chelsea really feels like an outlier for Sleeping Operator, which seemed to prefer a dark folk / blues / singer songwriter feel. I've heard the studio version of the title track "Sleeping Operator" on Nathan's radio show, and wish it had been on the album as a lead into love ai...

Re: New Barr Brothers album Oct 13th!!!

Check it out - the Vinyl and CD tracklisting are different orders. I wonder if they wanted to get the whole album on a single Side1/2 vinyl. (side note: I welcome this trend! So many band recently have 11 tracks spread over 2-3 vinyls.) To be released on October 13, 2017 CD & Digital Tracklist D...

Re: The big ol' Sliplive thread for VIDEO links

I think this is the best thread to ask this question on, but why is it that when I search YouTube for Barr Brothers videos, I now see the date and venue name of their most recent concert, followed by a link to watch a live stream of the concert... what is this stuff? PromoLive? Is seems somewhat ske...

Record Store Day Vinyl

Did anyone out there pick up the Barr Brothers Vinyl at record store day? I wasn't really sure on how to obtain it. Anyhow, it's a few live songs. Wondering if there's a digital available that anyone knows about, or if you've got it, how it sounds? Not too much Barr news lately. I wonder what they a...
