is it as great as his live show? i think i'd like to have a live album of Jonathan.

I saw him, shit, it'll be 10 yrs ago this next spring! I'm old! Anyway, Precise Modern Lovers Order is culled from a couple of concerts done in I think 71 and 72, so like pre-John Cale and everything. It's radically different from what Jojo does now or has in the last 20 years for that matter.

What about the live album from '77? Different Modern Lovers. Different songs and schtick. This is the only Richman live stuff I have. More Mr.Rogers-stylee. I don't mind. I liked Mr. Rogers.

But I'm curious about this "Precise" live one. (never heard of it until now!)

darker, more adolescent (check out jojo on the cover, he looks 12) very velvets-y (they even cover "Foggy Notion")

lauren do you own having a party with jonathan richman and the modern lovers?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 2 August 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i do, somewhere. it was, um, borrowed from the college radio station.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 2 August 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

That's the fake live one. It sounds like it's live, but it's just a bunch of people in the studio. It's like the Make-Up, only 6 years earlier.
"She Doesn't Laugh At My Jokes" was my theme song.

I like that old Beserkley live LP. I think it was just called The Modern Lovers Live. It has a really good version of "Ice Cream Man" on it.

i just walked by the make out room in SF and jonathan's playing this very minute... in fact, it's a 4-night stand for anyone who's interested

Is that the 8-minute version of "Ice Cream Man" where he refuses to end it? I love that.

― huck, Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:56 (twenty-one years ago)

"Thankyou ladies and gentlemen our next song is gonnabe...ICE CREAM MAN.. DOO WAY!"

"Is that the 8-minute version of "Ice Cream Man" where he refuses to end it?"

Yes. And where else are you going to hear "I'm a Little Airplane?"
