This is the Konet project on in the background right?

Mon. 3/24/08 3:37pm From: Irene

Yes it is! The collection (spelled Conet) is out of print, but you can find downloads of it on the web.

Oh okay. I couldn't remember if it was Conet or Konet. I do remember that's where wilco got the name for their cd.

Me, I'm a wee bit jealous of Hugh being able to listen to FMU, and Irene in particular, in a garden.

I was a big Harmonium fan for at least one of their songs. Comme Un Fou, was very meaningful for me as I was going out with a French Canadian girl from 1975 to 1979 and I was definitely a fool in love then. She gave me the L' Heptade D'Harmonium album, which is a live album, but I could have sworn there was a studio album with that song on it but AllMusic doesn't know about it.

The Heptade album is more or less one suite but I only liked Comme Un Fou and a few other tunes near it on the album. I'll have to go back and listen to it find out their names. (I'd be happy to dub it off for you Irene/FMU, if you wanted it. It's a well produced, well recorded album.)

Comme un fou, certain...

Is the Mekons album "Hurt So Good," or is it "So Good It Hurts?"

Tue. 3/25/08 4:29pm From: Irene

Ah, Ryan, right you are! "So Good It Hurts" is indeed the title. (Damn the auto-suggest function!)

I found some translations on line but frankly they seem to be automated. Here is my effort:

And the expectation so well forsaid
All is dead and so little said
So far beyond I searched that nothing was gleaned
At any cost one day I had to leave

Today I say hello to life
Tomorrow my nights will I no longer need

It is too late to understand
It is too dark to wait

We are always looking for some message to inscribe
At first upon our heart and then at the graveside
So far beyond I searched that nothing could I find
But when my song began the sun began to rise

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I had a feeling I got the translation of the Harmonium title wrong.
