M. Ward: Scene From #12 EP
Now THIS makes me feel nice and happy today. As you may recall, I've fallen hopelessly in love with M. Ward's latest release, Post-War, and have been on a spirited jaunt to seek out his earlier material. I love the warmth of his songs and the way so many of them just envelop you with a sense of immediacy.One of his earliest solo releases, the Scene From #12 EP (2000, 62 TV Records) is currently not commercially available, but it's a seamless little collection of four songs that make me contentedly smile. I think you'll be happy if you enjoy these along with me today:
01. Scene From #12
02. Wild Minds
03. Carolina
04. Going Away

Heather, if you don't have his last one "Transistor Radio" yet , you need to pick it up.
I actually like it better than "Post War" . The cover of the Beach Boys "You Still Believe in Me" that kicks it off is especially cool.
At 1:15 today (Pacific Time) Matt will be playing on KCRW.
Hooray! Thanks.
that would be 11:15am (pdt) that matt will be on kcrw...don't miss it!
heather, do you happen to have the songs "waiting years vol. 1" and "waiting years vol. 2"? i forked over my $40 to buy the duet for guitars #2 import, only to discover that there are two versions of it, and the one that i did not get has those two songs...
and thanks!--i've been looking for "going away" for some time now
oops. shame on me
Post-War is still the best record of the entire year, hands down.
Look forward to hearing these, too!
:)
These are great songs.Listening to him sing feels like waking up on a Saturday morning.Thanks for posting;I really enjoyed these songs.He can make the heart sing again.
post-war es bueno.
have you ever heard him interviewed? the holmes sounds like he smokes the ganj twice an hour. nooge.
Thanks Heather. Glad to own more rare M. Ward. I own a copy of the cardboard domestic release(co-dependent) of "Duet..." Had no idea it was out of print. It does not include the tracks Tad mentioned either. Are you sure they were ever released with/on "Duet...?
My vote goes to "Transfiguration..." as his most rewarding disc. Though one could argue the case for "Post War". My favorite track is still his Pete Townsend cover of "Let My Love Open The Door".
Kevin, you must have the version that i have. it's an australian import, i think, and has two songs that are not on the other version, which i think is a japanese import. those two songs are a previous version of "i'll be yr bird" as well as "not a gang". are those on the cd you have?
I'm pretty sure this one is still commercially available from 62 TV
M.Ward - Duet For Guitars #2
62 TV 29291 - 12 tracks LP on CD
Duet For Guitars #2 - Beautiful Car - Fishing Boat Song - Scene From #12 - Good News - The Crooked Spine - Look Me Over - Who May Be Lazy - It Won't Happen Twice - He Asked Me To Be A Snake & Live Underground - Song From Debby's Stairs - It Was A Beautiful Car.
This is the CD I still find sometimes in My local indie shops, along with his "End Of Amnesia" disc. I had never seen the EP Heather hosted. My version of "Duet..." is the 1999 self-release. Various overseas copies may have different track listing and/or extra track(s) as most of his releases are that way.
You should check out Toulouse Engelhardt who is another amazing guitarist in the same vein as M. Ward!
This is fantastic stuff. Thanks so much for putting it up.
Is there any way you could re-post this in a new link thanks
Is there any way you can re upload this EP somewhere else, so that I can download it? Thank you so much!
