did they do anything new or good?

My computer crapped out while trying to submit the long
answer to your question. I hate when that happens...

One of many highlights:
Off the new album there's a song called Top Of the World
and it was written by Patty Griffin who I had never heard
of.

The song is written from the perspective of a man who had
died.

A string section backed up the lead singer who sort of goes
into a trance while singing it. Almost like she was
possessed by the song. Pretty cool.

Here are the lyrics to Top Of The World:

I wished I was smarter
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way the my wife does

I wished it'd been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could've stood
Where you would've been proud
That won't happen now
That won't happen now

There's a whole lot of sinners
That ain't gonna be heard
Disppearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I'm afraid I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world How
To the top of the world

I don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no guide to
Teach me no lessons

I come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there
In my chair

There's a whole lot of singing
That ain't gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I think I broke the wings
Off a little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
How
To the top of the world

I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I
Was all these are
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go work at the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why

Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
So how?

Gonna grab a hold
Of that little songbird
And take her for a ride
To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world

Anyhow, the band sounded good.

I attempted to record it using that ATI wonder card.
I (it) screwed up and chopped up the 1st two songs.
Otherwise I have the remaining 50 minutes in a 468 meg
MPG file.

Any ideas on how to lend/send it to you?

Any suggestions on how to edit that down into the
individual songs and cut out the commercials?
