Something Old: In a Day
Something New: Union Maid
Something Borrowed: All I Have To Do Is Dream
Something Blue : Bluebird and The Stolen Rose

Reached up high from the Something New pile but no question what was on top.

post courtesy of not wanting to just correct that there pesky numero - So if I have just jinxed four songs from ever appearing in the UK in November? - erm...NOOO!! DELETE DELETE DELETE!!!!

Jules x

erm... the ever splendid DAY FOR A DAY even..IN A DAY is the 'Clear Channel' movie

::sigh::..got up far too early (like in the MORNING)

me correcting me correcting me... a muppet, but means well

A friend asked me last night if the band had written anything new since isalie.

one or two, one or two! I even know the titles of a couple. :P

669. Gore - Oct 14, 2007 (1.29 MB) 1:08

670. Tonight You Belong To Me+ - Oct 15, 2007

+Billy Rose/Lee David

oeriuflsdakjfl;ksajflkasdjlkfjasl;fjal!!!!! bernadette peters and steve martin sang that song in "the jerk." <333 bernadette

671. Homeward Bound+ - Oct 17, 2007 (3.39 MB) 2:58

Oh, this is great!

beautiful song
beautifully sung

672. Diamond - Oct 18, 2007 (5.34 MB) 4:40

And I've been waiting for you... Dah dah dah dah

I'd love it if this song makes the upcoming tour. Uh, I'd like to see the band sometime during their upcoming tour.

lovely to hear this again .. . and on the upcoming dates would definitely be one I'm hoping for too

673. Busted Keys - Oct 20, 2007 (1.27 MB) 1:23

Deceptive title ... thought it might have been you-know-what Instead it brings back "firey pants" Sorry to bring them back. Not my fault. Not sorry for the song though. Sounds goooooooooood.

.. a toy accordion, a creaky rocking chair and someone snoring?

Paint a picture with a union maid a day.

FIRE UNDERPANTS!!! I am still waiting to hear that song ;) In the meantime though this Union Maid is a very nice little ditty......

Loved the last 3 UM's, I'd be happy to hear them all in the UK, but my favourite is Diamond, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact it features b*****s (ducks lightning bolt)

674. Saving Myself - Oct 22, 2007 (1.64 MB) 1:26

Good Morning everyone..

I was making the most of my late start at work this morning and LO a new Union Maid helped me on my way: )

675. Los Chicargo Boys - Oct 24, 2007 (2.38 MB) 2:04

Can I just say

"Less than two weeks to go now my European buddies, YAY!"

Oh and ...

*SQUEE!*... *bounce!* *SQUEE!*

Cheers for that, I feel much better now *bounces off to work for a living*: )

676. Homeward Bound+ (Hotel Cafe Oct 27, 2007) - Oct 28, 2007 (5.17 MB) 4:31

Thanks for uploading this! Now, if I could just get the visual...

677. Carnivale - Oct 29, 2007 (3.29 MB) 2:52

another one from the HC?
yes please and thank you for including this on a forthcoming stage or two

This must be from the Hotel Cafe show. It has 05 in the title of the downloaded file. From Shapenew's report on the Hotel Cafe show, she thought the 5th song was something with "Regular You" in it. In the chorus, "real you" sounds kind of like "regular you". And it's definitely a live performance.

Hmm, I think it's time for another Live from The Hotel Cafe cd.

Its November!!!!!!!!! SQUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

*Runs around doing airplane arms and bouncing*

What I start to the month .... *BOUNCE AND SQUEEEEEEEE!*

Blimey, GAH!

I hope we get to hear this at the upcoming dates next week.... NEXT WEEK! *SQUEEE & BOUNCE prepares the 'We're not worthy bow!*

Note... Work, yes work... *tries to stop grinning like a loon* FAILS: )

678. Drop Old Diamond (Hotel Cafe) - Nov 1, 2007 (682MB) 5:57

is something happening next week Christy? !

set-list wishes shaping up nicely.

That mp3 file is a little smaller than previously posted.

678. Drop Old Diamond (Hotel Cafe) - Nov 1, 2007 (6.82MB) 5:57

I guess that was "Drop Old Decimal". 8-)

Sigh, what a lovely song. Dah dah dah!

679. Jackson+ - Nov 9, 2007 (4.34MB) 4:44

Same glorious upload as August 14th, methinks. With David Berkeley - but good one to repeat now:) We were treated to another live rendition at Leamington Spa last evening.

680. Help save the youth 11/11…. Nov 11, 2007 (4.58MB) 4:00

Just stop and think.. two minutes is all it takes and its not much to ask.

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

They at last comprehend all their sacrifice, all their pain,
All their sorrow, all their suffering, all the death,
Did not change or alter a thing, was not a lesson learned
Nor an experience not to be repeated..
Realizing their friend's painful, brutal, ultimate sacrifice
Was only a necessary evil of Mankind's political process
Which has never changed, and never will,
For each generation brings to the world
Its own self-styled madness of universal death, tragedy and suffering,
In wars to be fought by the young, bright-eyed people of the world
Unknowingly raised as sacrificial lambs of slaughter,
To be killed and gone forever, for nothing.

That is why, all Veterans cry.

*Goes back into her box for a bit*

For those of you who would like to read the whole poem Christy quoted, you can read it here.

Bless the Union Maid *hugs it rather hard*

Look a shiny revisit of 'Rehab!' Glasgow gig *squeeeeeee!*



680. Rehab - Nov 13, 2007 (2.98MB) 2.36

yes yes yes
now that was rather splendid!

can we get nostalgic for only a few days ago?
I think we can.

and no audio?!!

but if you hit the UM play button and the youtube play button close enough together .. hee - kind of works!

great stuff.

I know it mademe laugh like, well a drain actually *grin!*

Back from work and LO we have sound....squee!

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fIuXqrLZJ00&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fIuXqrLZJ00&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Lets try that again... I blame it on the vid...oh and overwork and under pay: )

Oh and I am sure any guitar players will be with me when I say.... blimey those are some bastard chords Eric is playing *gah!* excellent!

indeed amazing.

I know this UM .. 681. 45 To Where - Nov 15, 2007 (4.46MB) 3:53

it has been out before? Or I am seriously tired? I cannot find it. And lo, it is good.

That be ..496 'Don’t Hit Back' - Sep 11th, 2006 Then Jules:)

What can I say?
Blimey, what a pressie to receive before leaving this morning!
Catch those Union Maids guy's and see on the other side of Cardiff after which I promise to finish my reports because Glasgow squee:)

But for now Look......

Thanks Christy.
I knew it - can't get past an addict!

except I never realised it was so long ago - time sure flies when you're having fun!

Yay! I could see there was a new vid last night .. but You Tube was hiding it.

I like how Eric starts out with just his hand on the neck of the guitar, and then he steps into the camera line.

I wish he had the camera a little higher so it doesn't seem like he's looming over me. It's a good simulation of being in the front row, but I feel like I have a crick in my neck even though I'm looking at the vid straight on. 8-)

Minor complaint, really, it's great watching him perform these songs I haven't heard live yet.

Well I think it's very cool, you can 'play a long' with Eric by watching the chords at the start and then going ...errrr ok...no and listening instead *lol*

actually very very cool

it was great when the vids started and then sad that they stopped and now - yay play-along-a-Eric! lol. you're right anon - and again, aybe not.

I see Rehab snagged new views from outside the Common Rotation/Eric Kufs fanbase This is also veryveryvery cool.

Aside: Not that I will ever in a million years be in LA for a solo show - but - what happened to those? Seems to be a long time gone. The natives must be feeling very deprived

Ugh, I love "Don't Hit Back". This is great.

As for solo shows, yes, deprived indeed. Grr.

The UK have never had a solo so you don't do tooooo bad over in the states really; )

See Coventry… It’s the A45 The A45 t o ? Blimey did the one way system stump you guy’s as well?!

Above is a lesson to us all,never text in a message when drunk,it's not big,clever or legible *grin!*

682......I Looked and looked for the Union maid today, but it does not exist *Oh Noes the horror!*

ah-ha oh noes! no download.

but it plays .. and I recorded.

52SOE ..52 seconds of Eric.

double day today. Thanks Eric.

November 19 Video UM: Jena 6 - 2.48



feel ignorant that I didn't know of the Jena 6 until now.

reading now. no excuse nationality.

does anyone know how to save these vids ...or is that not the nature of these gifts? we enjoy them until they get deleted? I guess. Hope arrange to grab this one audiowise before that happens!

http://www.savetube.com/

that looks easy. thanks!

Instead of posting stats to the forum (since I tend to forget, too), I added Google Analytics to the site. Anyone with a Gmail email account can access the stats. Just send me a note or leave a comment with your Gmail address, and I will add you. You can still see the old stats with the old login info. I just like Google Analytics better.

(4.19MB) 4:34

most lovely to hear/see.
UK Tour revist/goodbye.

with possibly the best myspace player picture

I take it that your rather happy about that UM then Julia,I am so right there with you

Muppets, Glasgow and GAH!

What a simply blinding recording

I would now like to look wistfully out of the window and think about the last night of the UK dates sad face and possibly a tear for effect , but as it's 1am that all seems a bit pointless as it's dark and there is nothing to see ,so I will walk my dogs, check the horses and ho Hum...perhaps dream,dream,dream : )

Night,night ,peeps, sleep tight and all that

what does a muppet have to do to remain anonymous around these parts LOL I have a liking for smileys, it is true.

"history dictates"

so love that history.

Oh no, I can't get on the actual web site at all!

I think I might have been baninated for bad behaviour *is bad,but knows it; )*

However I can still get onto the forum *insert evil laugh* and the union maid achieve has already uploaded the song:)

So 'No moral' hey?!
I would say that actually listening to the song as I now have the moral (not that there is one ;) would be....
People have the right to their own opinions on religion and other such things ..however it is plain... RUDE... to then try and impose those views on other people *nods*

Is now most certainly not ever going to be allowed on the board again *ho-hum*


687 No moral ...November 26th 2007 (5.22MB

688. The Union Maid, A Song A Day - Nov 28, 2007 (2.62MB) 2:51

694. Yesterday, So Long Ago - Dec 10, 2007 (2.21MB) 1:56

Today's MySpace pic is a beardless Jordan with his trumpet.

Good grief it can't be the twelfth of December already? NO! I thought to myself, and I was right because it's already the thirteenth here blimey!
I was saving myself by putting off leaving to work because of the madness that is the 'coming up to Christmas' commute (3 and a half hours on Monday head hits wall ) and lo a song that has been here before is here again for our listening pleasure..

695. Saving Myself - Dec 12, 2007 (1.64MB) 1:26

670. Ribbon_without …Dec 14th 2007 4.40MB 3.50mins

Ribbons without what? Is one question
Can you name that tune playing in the in the background? Would be another.

Have to say that "Something i want" is the most beautiful song i have heard in a long time.

New one up on myspace this morning, but not here..Off to work again then for me.

Tries to find some entusiam

Maybe it's under the sofa?

looks

Nope

"Bugger!"

if it doesn't get fixed - pleeeeease can someone record and grab (and name) from myspace to save us from the archive hole of doom?

would that I could but I'm off to party hearty for tis the season to be - fat

671. Hold on to me...... no idea how long or how big it might be (gosh that sounded a bit rude sorry )
It was a lovely song by the way for those that missed it!

696.Something I Want - December 13th, 2007
697.Ribbons Without - December 14th, 2007
698.Don’t Let Me Go - December 17th, 2007 .. I had a same but different title saved ? ok?
699.TSBB - December 18th, 2007


Not sure what is screwy with the polls tonight - i have tried uploading them 3 times but they input 5,4,3,2,1 stars fine and dandy and then jumble hemselves up!

so giving up tonight - unless Dana - you can beat the gremlins? - most importantly - the music is there.

Is that Adam singing tsbb? It sounds like him a few times but not for most of the song.

you don't think so?
100% Adam - or a clone.
great job young man .. .or clone

been hoping for a few years now they'd sing that song again. very happy to hear it.

..erm .. hang on a minute. This - not sounding quite right ? anon#1 - I might all of a sudden be right there with you! - are you listening to the STREAM on the archive or on the main site, or a DOWNLOAD?

Weird. Thought I'd press a little "play" before bed and either someone is messing with my ears - or the streams sound kind of slowed down - so deeper... and depressing! ..which explains the ????

but the DOWNLOAD copy - which is what I've been listening to on my mp3 player - and that I've just taken a fresh copy of, to check - is fine. More than fine Love it! hello Karen ... ditto that:)

Never noticed this happening before. Someone tell me I'm not going mad? (in this regard, at least!) You hear it too?

Download a copy

Oops it is tomorrow over here now - farewell.

They both sound like Adam to me. I don't hear any difference.

bizarre bizarre...I streamed and window media playered over each other ..and they are definitely playing different my side..OBVIOUSLY both Adam..it is the same track after all...but one of him singing in slo-mo ..hee...so Be it..I will vouch for my own sanity, laptop and ears, if no-one else will!

and still loving it..any excuse to listen lots ..have a good day peeps x

Julia the stream is running in Slow Mo, tis not your ears.. Both Adam and yet one sounds very, very depressing and the other, not so!

On to today's Union Maid then.....

700 . Ribbon_without …Dec 21st 2007 4.40MB 3.50mins

Repeat of the last Ribbon_without,Well I think it's the same one, but the file does not exist on the board



Oh and answering my own previous question to this song (cos I am a sad sack.... although please correct me if I am wrong : )

'Nessun dorma' (Calaf's Aria from Puccini's Turandot) I am thinking that is the tune playing in the background

still it's Number 700!

700 {runs around, bounces and squee's}

Blimey that's a hell of a lot of tunes, well done the UNION MAID, you do a sterling job and we love you ever such a lot!
cheers {raises a cup of coffee to toast you} well it is only half past eight in the morning here

Phew..Thank you!!! Even my better half was trying to break-in to the clue shop for me and mumble about bitrates and modem speeds .. bless... sounded good anyway

But I cannot correct you - I have no idea.

wheee 700!!! Copies count Hip hip hooray for the awesomeness that is the Union Maid!!! Thank you so much for every single one. You Are Legend. Will Smith is an imposter.

If we promise to be good (or at least careful) may we have a Christmas Eve Christmassy one again this year, I wonder?

pretty please with tinsel on top?

I still vote for "Silent Night", as I have been for the past who knows how many years. Here's hoping.

700 . Ribbons - Dec 21st 2007 4.40MB 3.50mins

on the board now ... and with more "with" now! - not a repeat... but sneakily the same length.

I adore it. Sometimes your favourite Union Maids are ones you can hum


It is tagged arg?
As in aaaaarrrrrrgh! this board will not play properly?
Or aaaaaarrrrrgh! stop talking nonsense out there?

Sorry. I AM being good.

#700 - beautiful, tuneful, hummy.

GOOD. Being GOOD.

Silent Night could be gorgeous.

They are cheeky little monkeys indeed, different and yet the same length and very, very hum-able!

Not so sure about, 'Silent Night' myself although it would indeed be splendid I would prefer.. ' Happy Christmas (War is Over)' but that's just me
{shrugs shoulders, puts self back in box and seals it just to make sure!}

it's so sad that the first thought that popped into my head when i saw the pic used for today's um on myspace was "is that sondheim??" one track mind all week.

Julia - When the songs are chipmunk'd or slow-mo'd, it's the bitrate they are recorded at. I am pretty sure that media player plugin only likes 44.1.

~Dana "She who needs more hours in the day and days in the week."

Oh my head hits desk why will no one challenge my blatant stupidity?

I wanted someone, anyone to say 'Nessun dorma' (Calaf's Aria from Puccini's Turandot)' your having a laugh!

You see that is the ONLY bit of opera I know, and all I l know is that the background music is opera *pats self on back!*

You all know how to argue haggle don't you?!

Oh blimey here's a lesson for you: )

'At this time a friend shall lose his friends's hammer and the young shall
not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their
fathers put there only just the night before ...
(BRIAN runs up to HARRY the beard seller's stall and hurriedly grabs an
artificial beard.)
BRIAN
How much? Quick!
HARRY
What?
BRIAN
It's for the wife.
HARRY
Oh. Twenty shekels.
BRIAN
Right.
HARRY
What?
BRIAN
(as he puts down 20 shekels) There you are.
HARRY
Wait a moment.
BRIAN
What?
HARRY
We're supposed to haggle.

See it takes some time to argue the toss with conviction haggle with skill

Oh and will I am at it *sends Dana more hour in the day : )
