Unexpected FM

"Think about Me" again, walking into Walgreens. That's twice recently, and I've never heard it before in public...weird.

I heard Sara on xm 25 (classic rewind), which is not really unexpected, but the dj's comments were. Pat St. John, the dj, said that he wasn't sure, but he thought that Stevie played piano on Sara. He then went on to explain that he was always bothered by the title of the album, Tusk, because it was a reference to all of Stevie's piano songs on the album(?) and the fact that the piano keys were made from elephants' tusks (ivory). I guess I should be happy that he knew Sara was Stevie's song, and it was from Tusk.

I believe Stevie's original piano demo is mixed in on the album. Stevie said something like Christine couldn't get it quite right during the recording. Anybody else remember or know if I right or did I imagine it?

I heard that too.

I heard Thrown Down in the grocery store the other day.


There is an episode of King of Queens where it shows how Doug and Carrie met, and in Doug's apartment there are rock posters hanging up, and one is the TITN promo poster.

At Wendy's at lunch - Say You Will is playing!

I heard Whenever I Call You Friend on the radio twice today and I heard Gold yesterday once more.

[Sanne2]

I heard Hold Me at the market square last saturday which is really weird because you never hear anything Mirage over here, it's like that album was never released.

On Thursday, I heard SYLM at CVS. That's twice in one month I've heard that song while out shopping!

I have never heard this. It strikes me as improbable since the technique required to play the part is minimal. And Christine has admitted to being very "snobbish" about doing things herself (in a 1979 Keyboard mag article), so I really doubt she'd allow Stevie's demo part to be used on the album, especially if Stevie played the demo herself. It just doesn't sound likely. I could be wrong.

Where did you hear this? I'd be curious to know.

I don't remember exactly which interview it was that Stevie said it. She said it was in the mix somewhere. That her original piano demo was left in the mix. Anybody besides me and CAdreaming remember ever hearing this? I don't think I made it up.

I am 100% sure you didn't make it up! I just question the veracity of Stevie's statement. It doesn't seem likely given Christine's skills as a pianist are so much stronger.

I wonder if they let one layer of her playing stay in the mix, as a texture and not as the base track.

Yes, I don't think the reason is that Christine couldn't get it right. But there are two piano tracks. I know when it's been discussed before, someone suggested listening to the right channel and left channel of the song separately and that helps you hear that there are two, Chris and Stevie.

I heard SYW at Home Depot yesterday. And I'm ashamed to say that I didn't recognize it at first!

[vivfox]

On the radio yesterday I heard Think About Me and last night I heard Tusk.
