I'm loving that version of "Peppermint" available on this very site. Moving, and absolutely gorgeous. Also - I'm really into "To Be Alone With You" by Sufjan Stevens (and have been for months), and Francoise Hardy, and, on a different note, the Hot As Shits from Austin.]]> http://www.loverstheband.org/forum/discussion/11/call-for-covers Sat, 02 Feb 2008 07:17:45 -0700 soulpiercing 11@/forum/discussions
If you or someone you know is covering any lovers material, we'd love to see/hear it. Send links or files to soulpiercing--at--loverstheband.org. Please send along any tabs or lyrics that have not already been posted as well.

I am rarely the first person out on the dance floor, but I thought it might help get things flowing, so I posted a lovers' cover that I did in the downloads section. Chords are in the tabs section. Check it out.

thanks,

I'm certainly old school -- my first ever album purchased was on an 8 track tape, my 2nd was vinyl, at which my collection exploded into cassette tapes which were eventually converted (i.e. re-purchased) as CDs. I mostly listen to music these days broadcast from my computer, phone, or truck's harddrive-based mp3 player, but all that music was ripped from CD's I own. I personally like having the tangible product for two reasons: 1) the possibility of artwork, credits, liner notes, lyrics (i.e. the artist's option to add another dimension to the 'flavor' of the album) and 2) the physical copy for my collection. Arguably, these can both come in digital form,
though I think what I and other people like is more than the convenience of having these provided at the time of purchase. Whether that ineffable, yet visceral, quality is actually in the product or in the consumer's mind, I don't know.

I think to some extent the question is about reproduction. Is a digital reproduction as 'real' as a hard-copy? Is any reproduction as
'real' as a live performance? Quality is sometimes (often (always?)) lost during reproduction, for instance a photo copy of a photo
copy of a photo copy. I'm not trying to make any statements about audio fidelity; that's a whole other technical discussion. I'm
being more philosophical. I'm wondering what makes a hard-copy so damn alluring?

Ideas?]]> http://www.loverstheband.org/forum/discussion/7/fansite-interview Thu, 10 Jan 2008 08:39:29 -0700 soulpiercing 7@/forum/discussions

it was so nice of Cubby to take the time to share with us.
yay, coco! thanks again. :c)]]> http://www.loverstheband.org/forum/discussion/3/when-did-you-know-you-were-a-lovers-fan Tue, 03 Jul 2007 08:44:32 -0700 soulpiercing 3@/forum/discussions she did, I noticed that I liked them, but I never sat and just listened to them. Then she made
me a copy of their first two discs (don't worry, I own all three now!) to listen to over the
winter holidays. I was at my folks house with nothing to do, so I got out Starlit Sunken Ship
and put it on. I really liked what I was hearing and then "Winter Takes a Lover" played. I
cannot exaggerate enough how mesmerized I was. When the song was over, I had to stop
the disc and just sit in silence. I was totally blown away. That's when I knew, oh yeah.
I was hooked. I was a fan.]]> http://www.loverstheband.org/forum/discussion/6/take-off-your-shoes- Sun, 08 Jul 2007 19:39:36 -0700 iamthewest 6@/forum/discussions
