(unrelated to last post)

This is the original Ardent Records 45 version of "September Gurls" from 1974. It was mastered by Larry Nix at a different date than the RADIO CITY version, using varispeed technology, making this cut a few seconds shorter, quite a bit punchier and in a higher key. Alex Chilton's vocals offer up even more adenoidal urgency on this master, which was dedicated specifically for the airplay "September Gurls" never received (beyond a few markets) upon its initial release...

Think it's a private acct, then.

Let me know if you want me to stalk him and post more photos.

[Timone]

How old is he? Guessing he's got to be at least in his mid 40s.

[Glenn]

Looks like he's got two adult children, so yeah.

Bought tickets for Those Pretty Wrongs a month or so ago, whenever it was announced....was totally on the fence about going, leaning toward no but I just started listening to the album and it's actually pretty good. Not Big Star good by any means but I thought it would be terrible...it's not...

I tried getting into that once before, maybe I'll try again.

Unrelated note, Alex's son posted something a while back that said that Alex was a big 'Law & Order' fan. I can't decide if it's cool that I know that now or I wish I didn't. Kinda regret knowing that.

Yeah, it's nothing groundbreaking or anything but definitely listenable.
