"Show You How" single now available on iTunes!
 

"Show You How" is now available as a single on iTunes for 99 cents! It was added today. :woohoo: The cover art is pretty good.

for those of you who don't have itunes and want to see the cover...

:angel:

thank you!

He looks gorgeous.

Damn! He could show me how anytime! :nod:

I agree with you 100% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Aaahhh My Man !!!!!!!!!!
 

Friggin' Good news. I was afraid DOR was the first single, and he'd been influenced by the "safest thing first virus". BUT this is an oldfashioned tricky earpiercing choice of an artist that keeps on going and will last forever as the artist he wants to be.

Frig, am I excited about this. Not because it's the best song, but because he proves that he will not EVER bow for commercial choices as long that he is his own boss. Way to go old weirdo. I love you.

Awesome!
 

Just bought a copy of it. :)

Does it sound better than that streaming one on LB.com?

Singles mean nothing anymore. So whether it's Show You How or Down on Rodeo becomes irrelevant, I think.

I am liking Lindseys weird music very much, but I think it a mistake to release Show You How as single first. Down on Rodeo better choice for bigger public. Then again, single singles are irrelevant, it probably doesn't matter.

Gerald...
 

It sounds more crisp on iTunes.

I got the iTunes and website versions synched up and it's the freakiest thing! LMAO! Very echo-y and wierd.

I just bought it. Love the pictures for this album. Especially this one:D I love his quiet high note echo acoustic what ever we wanna call it tunes:laugh: Can't wait for the album and NYC!!!

Thanks for posting. This may well be my favorite picture...I love that sly smile of his, and anytime we get his legs and boots...:]

How he is just thinking of Nikki when he shows that heavenly smile:laugh:

Not available on the UK iTunes store, is it available anywhere other then the US store?

Is this available as a single or maybe a promo single?

That figures! I was just about to go look.
Oh well I guess it's not too long until the album comes out now.

I totally agree! This way, his music will be released and listened to by the smallest audience possible. If DOR was released as the first single, then too many people may have heard it, liked it, bought the CD and would have actually listened to the entire album and appreciated all of his work on UTS. But this way the single and album will most likely fizzle out in a few months with little or no fanfare. Yeah!!:blob2:

Have you not been paying attention while watching the DR doc? It's all about the art, dude. ;)

I heard Lindsey bought a two-bedroom apartment, btw.

Ooo sarcasm! Nice. Let me try. Yes, you're right, Show You How is sooo uncommercial, nobody will ever, ever like that track. In fact people will hear Show You How and cover their ears screaming "It hurts! It hurts! What is this dreadful unMac-like din?" and deliberately smash the album to save others from hearing it. The album won't just fizzle it will die a grisly death. Whereas DOR as the first single would obvioulsy have brought about world peace and helped Under The Skin be bigger than Thriller. Of course. What a mistake to release Show You How as the first single! It's like Lindsey has turned into Animal Collective or Acid Mothers Temple or something! What the hell is he thinking?

Like Down On Rodeo had a chance in hell of being a hit :rolleyes:

Yes it is....
 

eBay: LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM - SHOW YOU HOW, DOWN ON RODEO (item 280029500828 end time Sep-23-06 11:30:00 PDT)

Edit: I wonder "who" has the current winning bid, the current highest bidder's acct. name seems very familiar to me.

You're right that it's highly unlikely "Down On Rodeo" would've been a "hit," but I do have to agree that it would have a better shot at receiving radio airplay than "Show You How" will have.

All arguments about "safe choices" verses "taking chances" aside, if your album doesn't receive exposure then no one's going to know about it. And if they don't know about it, then they can't buy it.

Gotta throw out the bait before you can reel 'em in! :nod:

Why would people who buy it because of a "safe" song be expected to appreciate the rest of the "unsafe" material? Releasing a more artsy single would lead to a much greater percentage of the buyers to appreciate an entire artsy album.

Exactly. If DOR was the first single, he'd interest people that would go "WhatThe FCK" when they listened to the album. I still think that Red Rover would have interested more people than Peacekeeper and SYW did simply because it would have gotten attention due to quirkyness. Nobody of the big audience is waiting for a Fleetwood Mac that sounds like Fleetwood Mac these days. That's history. And Lindsey doesn't take the BIG risk here: He's not bringing out Shut Us Down as a single (which I would have LOVED), but a song that has a hook that spins around in your head AND has an overall different approach than radio is used to.

Sorry, I don't think Down On Rodeo is ever gonna get big time radio play, no matter how good it is. Once again this maximum exposure/sales argument doesn't convince me. Lindsey is never going to sell millions again, especially as a solo artist, it's his hardcore fans he needs to appeal to rather than casual listeners.
But to tell the truth I'm more interested in what the actual music will be like, I don't care at all what the first single is or what it sells.

My comment is being misconstrued... I didn't say that "Down On Rodeo" would get "big time radio play" or that Lindsey is going to sell millions again (wait, did he ever sell millions on his own?). I just tend to think that when DJs across the United States get that promo CD, they're going to opt not to play "Show You How," whereas they would be more inclined to give "Down On Rodeo" a chance.

The thing is, I have no idea what kind of numbers Warner/Reprise might be eyeing for this release. I'm sure it's something far more reasonable than what they expected for 'Say You Will,' but if it doesn't do at least what 'Out Of The Cradle' did (roughly 54,000 copies), then the danger is there that we won't get that electric album Lindsey has been talking about.

That's the only reason I want this album to get as much attention and as broad of an audience as possible.

I must respectfully disagree -- if it's a "big audience" we're talking about, then the "big audience" apparently wants classic-sounding Fleetwood Mac, as evidenced by 4.4 million sales for 'The Dance' and 853,000 for 'Say You Will.'

I know you didn't, I'm just enjoying arguing with you!
Warner knows how well Lindsey's last solo efforts sold and I'm pretty sure it has a fair idea how Under The Skin will sell too. I don't think Warner would be announcing this proposed second album in all the press pieces I've read so far if the second album was dependent on the success of the first. I think it is expecting similar numbers to OOTC and I'm pretty sure it will do that with or without radio support.
Also what's so uncommercial about Show You How anyway? There's a good chance it will perform okay, why are we dismissing it? I was just bummed at Bandon's suggestion that releasing that as the first single over DOR would effectively kill the album before it even had a chance!

I said "These days" dude. don't dig up **** from ten years ago. That was a brilliant nostalgia-tour that underlined what I mean.

And SYW sold relatively poor. Because that was a new mac. That didnot sound as the old one: exept for those two singles. If EFO, Miranda, Red Rover and Illume were singles from that album they would have gained NEW interest. That´s what I´m saying.

It's fun to have NEW Lindsey songs and topics to debate and discuss, isn't it? At least it is for me.
I hope Gerald realizes that's the intention behind my dialogue with him, too.

Well, I certainly hope that's true. I guess I'm still a little wary since so much was made out of 'Gift of Screws' in all the Warner-generated press during 'The Dance' and directly after... and we all know what happened with that.

I don't know where Bandon's from (I'm guessing the US), but I know that there isn't a radio station anywhere around me that I can imagine playing "Show You How." I can think of several that would spin "Down On Rodeo" though.

Now I'm the one who doesn't understand what you're saying.
First you said that the "big audience" doesn't want the classic Fleetwood Mac sound, and then you said that 'SYW' sold relatively poorly because the "new Mac" didn't sound like the old one. :confused:

Well, maybe you're right but releasing Show You How as the first single will help it quickly fizzle out? (as Bandon said) I don't think that's true and besides DOR may well make it as a second single, if there is one. But I stand by my point that Under The Skin doesn't really need singles so much to sell to its target audience. I think the tour and any press it gets will be a bigger boost than radio play.

Maybe I should have said: And SYW sold relatively poor. Because that was a new mac, marketed as the old mac. That albumdidnot sound as the old one: except for those two singles.
I just dont think that safe singles would gather a big audience anymore, I never stated that quirky ones would. But The risk of gathering NEW interest is alot bigger than when you're trying to comfort by being redundant.

It's all moot since Lindsey is not going to get any radio play.

You did a great job of articulating my point. :thumbsup:

I heard Show You How on one of our public radio stations the other day. :D I realize it's public radio, but hey it's something!

Cool!
 

Glad to hear it was on the radio. :)

Everyone should go to iTunes and write a lil review. ;)

well..
 

of course, I went directly to itunes when i heard a new song by Lindsey was available..but, honestly, I can't get into the song after about 6 listens..(this is from a big fan of Red Rover..) it definitely isn't growing on me.. but I still look forward to seeing him next month when he comes to the d.c. area.. I just hope the rest of his new record is better than "Show You How.." .. especially since I'm from Missouri...so show me..

Hey now - public radio has the fastest and biggest growing listenership in radio!!

We have Lindsey's concert promo'd on our public radio station....:D

SO you mean maybe someone either than me probably heard it? JK :D You know I'm a fan!

We actually we have three public radio stations in Philly and this one, the one that plays music (WXPN) I believe has a fairly big following.
