thurston and lee on live NOW
 

interview plus acoustic set on mpr.org in minneapolis. Look for the stream of THE CURRENT..

How about I would rather die than listen to the homogeny that is the Current

This was GREAT!
I jumped in a bit late, they were already playing antenna, a bit of chat (lee talking about an ex getting deaf at a gig etc), then they played Walking Blue (A M A Z I N G) and a bit of chat and "Poison Arrow" (reeeeeeeeally cool).
I messed up the recording of the stream coz I was in a rush (opened forum-found this thread-went listening) I hope it will be archived...

i missed this, anyone record it?

I just recorded a small part of it, including Lee and Thurston performing "Poison Arrow"

Edited for your conveniance.
Not the complete interview but good parts of it.
Starts in the middle of the performance of "Walking Blue", then fades into the interview.

Wow, that version of "Poison Arrow" was awesome. How cool to hear Thurston and Lee alone together. I've never heard that before in terms of music in twenty five years of following the band.

thanks Antagon but how do i get more than the 30 second preview?

I can't play it at all. Hmm.

Hm, that is weird but if you want I can e-mail you the original file

it works for me, poison arrow sounds nice acoustic with those effects and only lees voice is making it funny in the chorus. thanks.

It worked in another browser, thanks! It sounds great.

Good stuff.

Kudos for tossing this our way.

new songs performed by only two in electro-acoustic version sound amazing. thanks for this!

yes please!

Can anyone please up the file for this? Thank you.

I didn't split it coz I like the flow (and it's not ultra long, so skipping a bit for those not interested in the interview bits is not much of an hassle..).

thanks nicfit

thanks!
