Tim Finn Couldnt Be Done & 7 track

gryphonmr

Have added a bit more information to the Tim Finn NEWS board www.frenz.com/timfinn/

Couldn't Be Done is expected in stores in Australia/ NZ around 23rd September. As soon as we have a confirmed UK store date I will post it on the NEWS board (expect the track listing soon too).

The really good news is that the 7 track bonus will now be a DVD (not a cd as originally planned) so some of the Imaginary Kingdom cds will have this at Aust/NZ stores.

I've asked Tim for any USA info... so am hoping to have some news soon (hope it's good news) as far as the USA goes.

The clip should be shown on TV from August 28th
so all your TF fans we'll be asking you to request it on areas like Rage etc.

So the wheels are starting to turn faster and faster etc......

Dates, dates and more dates - that's what we want

Thanks gryph.

Will Tim's CD via the Club have the bonus DVD available with it? If not, looks like I'll be ending up with two copies of this CD - one from the Club (signed

) and one commercially, hopefully with the DVD.

at this stage we are going by what we originally said, autographed copy.

Just dont wnat to promise something and find it impossible to do, so for the moment it's exactly what we promised. Autographed copies of the album.

Excellent gryph, thanks.

Its not a problem at all. I just wanted to be forewarned because I now know that I will have to grab a copy commercially when it becomes available. And I will be doing that.

That also means that I can keep my signed copy in mint condition

Looks like I will be trawling the online stores for the one with the bonus disk on September 23.

I think I'll be treating my signed copy very well also

Yeah, I wonder if JB HiFi or Leading Edge Music will be selling these "bonus packs"?

Or even Sanity, but since they don't use the Aria charts anymore, anything bought through them won't count towards the overall album/singles sales totals.

I'm restricted to Leading Edge, Sanity and Kmart locally, so I wouldn't like to hang all my hopes on being able to buy them over the counter here.

Music Director at 612ABC Brisbane, Bill Ryner(?), played Couldn't be done on the new music part of the afternoon show today, and said that he was adding song to playlist from this week-end. Which is all good.

I think it sounds in part a little bit travelling wilberries... a good summer time song.

Yay! First airplay. Now we need more...
EIH was successful - why can't Imaginary Kingdom be as big if not bigger?

Well there's no reason why it couldn't be just as big a hit as EIH - it was a No.1 album after all - but something tells me it will be a rocket fueled hit. That is, big sales from fans in the first week then a plummet to ground in the forthcoming weeks.

That's the way the charts are these days. It's just irritating when people like James Blunt can hang around for a while or Shakira's horrible "Hips Don't Lie" can spend 8 weeks at No.1. Somehow with the current musical climate I fear Tim would be lucky to get 8 weeks in the Top 50.

Actually Everyone is here only made it to #2 on the National chart in Australia.

However one state did get it to #1 and that was our home state Victoria (thanks guys) but yep only #2 in Oz. I think it was 3 weeks at #1 in NZ????

According to The Oz Music Chart it did make No.1 nationally for a single week (after release) but granted, it may have made only No.2 on the ARIA chart.

Which begs the question: Which chart to believe? I think Tim and Neil would rather believe the Oz Music Chart!

Didn't it lose out to (gasp) Bond? EIH was 3 weeks before getting knocked off by Yulia ...

Can't find how Feeding the Gods did in NZ.

7 Track Bonus!!

Yes please.
It's the 24th so this should be out now right?
It's late night shopping in downtown Sydney tonight, so i might pop into my local Megastore to see what's filed under "F" in the New Releases section. Unfortuantely i don't get paid until tomorrow, so i might have to hide it in amongst the Shakira albums. Oops, i probably shouldn't have mentioned that fact. Oh well.

Yulia??!! What the...?

I really can't wait for this, it is gonna be a great album, and the 7 track extra just makes it even harder to wait for it!

Another month yet to wait Seany...

Looking forward to the DVD though, Time For A Change has got me intrigued what with Mike Chunn playing guitar on it (presumably something akin to the original demo fo Time For A Change?).

Do any of us seriously believe the music charts mean anything?

Well not these days. Although if Countdown comes back, i might, you know....
Erm, thanks for that Camus. It's um, still only August.

Ok, move along folks, nothing to see here. You'll be glad to know that i do know what day it is though. Yes, it's one day less till the new release of Timbo's album.
I didn't come down in the last shower, no siree.
still......not long now, eah.

LOL, I can distinctly remember Molly saying how terrible this new song by someone called Patrick Hernandez was, and how it wouldn't chart at all and no one would buy it. Only turned out to be Born To Be Alive which was a smash #1 hit.

No the music charts don't mean anything. Neither do TV ratings. Or the footy ladder. Especially if you don't like what's in the charts, then it REALLY doesn't matter.

By the way, do we really want Countdown back? Who the hell misses it whose name does not end in the name Meldrum?

Mike & Tim both emailed me a month or so ago and asked if I was able to record Mike's guitar in a studio here at RNZ. Are you kidding? Of course! Sadly, in the end my schedule didn't fit in with Tim's and they recorded it elsewhere. Ah well. Would have been a real buzz for me. (Maybe I'll get to work on Phil's version one day!)

Bad luck there Jaffa, that would have been a bit of a dream come true I would imagine.

Do you play anything yourself Jaffa?

I used to muck about with a sampler, guitar & bass in the late '80s and early '90s. Couldn't play anything properly - just recorded bar by bar on analogue 4-track and 8-track home studio. Examples of work done in that studio set-up by me (very silly stuff) and friends (less silly) at www.jamjarvideo.com (click on "music videos") or http://pages.zdnet.com/jaffamannz/jamjarvideo/id53.html

Back to the topic at hand...

Check the RAGE site http://www.abc.net.au/rage/rage.htm on this Friday afternoon 1/9/6 to see if Tim's video is on. Info available from noon.
Also check http://www.videohits.com.au/ .They’ll have a list of videos they will be playing, but they list them in alphabetically and not in programme order.
