so. since it seems to be out of print by all accounts, is anyone here in posession of curt's 'soul on board' album and would you be willing to upload it for me? i'm a raging completist and i've been scouring soulseek and torrent sites for weeks to no avail. if you're interested, i have a couple good radio sessions from 82 or 83. which i'll pass on

Mayfield is my favorite CS album, btw. In fact, it's quickly become one of my all-time favorite albums.

i'm guessing mayfield is probably his best. 'reach out' is fucking addictive.
want the radio sessions i mentioned?

the peel session is a little chopped at the start of the songs, but the jensen session is pretty damn perfect all around. if only it was longer.

Did you see that Curt blogged in his myspace? Exciting stuff re: HP.

oh yes, that IS interesting. it bums me out that things are having to go this way, honestly. i don't know when the record companies and whatnot decided it was a good idea to buttrape the artists, but it happened and now the serious musicians are having to resort to this sort of thing. its good, its revolutionary and it serves th art of music well. but its still really depressing to see it become a necessity to those who have artistic integrity.
and i can't help but wonder if the record companies are pushing out the real guys in favor of all these no-account little turds they've gathered together and turned into such marketable commodities. its orwellian. its weird to think that *I*, at only 24, can remember a time when marketable didn't have to mean stylists and professional songwriters writing clinically proven hits. OK! and there's my sleep-deprived rant for the day! going on 36 hours now i think!

Funny you say that because that was pretty much my reaction. I cleaned up my response for commenting at myspace though. ;->
They're desperate. The executives have no vision and they're about to lose their jobs so they're trying to get as much as they can and hoping artists are ignorant enough to accept the terms. Fortunately our Mr. Smith is much brighter than that.
In response to an earlier comment, I do believe Mayfield is his best, but I think HP is a beautiful album, worth buying. I take issue with his vocal delivery, and that's the only reason I can't recommend HP more highly.
Having heard either, though, SOB pales miserably by comparison.

friended on those grounds alone even.
you know, i've been saying 'addictive' for years and always been unsure about it in this context, but it sounds a lot better than 'addicting'.

saw them open for the Seahorses. main memory is standing side of the stage (small club) and Paul just staring/glaring at me during an instrumental part. that may have been their only US tour.
as for words; addicting is an action, addictive is a quality. if you're getting someone addicted to it, you can say you're addicting them and that it is addictive. the trend of late, however, has been to say addicting when it should be addictive.

but yes. i don't think i could choose favorite album... i almost want to wuss out and say 'kleptomania' because its such an assortment. i probably have to go with 'six' though. 'comes as no surprise' is almost enough to warrent 'little kix' being my favorite for that track alone. HORRORS! I CANNOT CHOOSE.
i see you like the verve as well. i was just talking about how the verve played an integral part in my independent search for musical identity.
