a glorious version of the glorious life
i picked up the new joel plaskett emergency album, ashtray rock, today, and while somewhat underwhelmed after a couple listens, i was quite excited to hear that joel has finally recorded the glorious life. for those of you who don’t know (i.e., 99% of the people reading this), the glorious life was a song thrush hermit used to play live in the mid 90s that i always thought should have made sweet homewrecker.
if you’re interested, here’s how the song originally sounded, as recorded from a live thrush hermit show at the university of western ontario, in 1995ish:
thrush hermit – the glorious life
hasn’t changed a bit.
