More squee!

[annathepiper]

What, you thought I was only going to have a night's worth of squee about a joint Russell Crowe/Alan Doyle musical project? I'm just getting warmed up!

Ahem! cruisedirector, boxer_ferret, and anybody else on my Friends list who's been waiting on the new Russell album: now that you've downloaded My Hand, My Heart, might I humbly note that the iTunes store does have the entire GBS discography? Of particular note, go look for Play, which has the original GBS release of "How Did We Get From Saying I Love You?" on it. Then you can play Russell's version and GBS' version back to back. (A chick on Gruntland jokes about having tried to play them simultaneously, which I suppose is one other way of getting Alan and Russell to sing together, but the music gets kind of muddy that way. ;) )

I finally just now listened to the two-part joint Alan/Russell interview, and mostly just grinned goofily at the odd incongruity in my brain of hearing Alan Doyle's voice and Russell Crowe's voice in the same conversation! It was a fun listen, though; the interviewer was clearly having fun interviewing them, and both of them were laid back and easygoing. I'll have to listen to the newer Russell interview later.

I did actually spend some time listening to samples of GBS on Amazon, but naturally, I can never decide which album to get, so I'll probably take your advice on Play.

Play is a good one to get as it was only released in Canada, so it's hard to find in stores in the U.S. Also, it has the holiest of holy GBS ditties: "Ordinary Day"! ^_^

Everything starting with Rant and Roar and later was released in the U.S. so it's fairly easy to find physical CD copies in record stores.

You can actually skip Rant and Roar as it is a compilation of songs off Play and Up (though the studio take of "End of the World" on R&R is slightly different than the one on Play, for what it's worth). I bought it long before I found Play and Up, though, so I have a special fondness for it. :)

My other favorite GBS album is Road Rage, for live GBS goodness!
