Has "Circus Money Dub" ever been posted here? I'd figured it'd be a 4th track in the EP. It was originally released on the Euro "Somebody's Saturday Night EP"...

Yes, great article @Moderator: D-Mod ! I’m so happy Larry convinced him to play bass because I love his bass playing. And my favorite line: “Imagine two people that built a house being asked who laid what brick.” Perfect!

For Process Freaks

Was coding a few new pages (!) when I had reason to revisit this great interview/article at Sound on Sound: It discusses the reggae etiology of CM in detail, as well as writing and recording process notes from Becker and Klein. Worth a look for dem dat are interested in this sort of thing.

13 years. Seems both like forever ago, and just yesterday.

Arrived late to this party in only recently discovering the site after re-listening to ELEVEN/CIRCUS on a loop for many days and decided to see what else was possibly out there - truly amazed to discover it's existence and all the musical riches contained within- THANK YOU first and foremost. Sounds like I missed DARK HORSE DUB being up here, in case it was being considered for a re-post.

I have been looking for this 'release' since seeing this and come up with nothing so any information on it would be appreciated-

Walter Becker: Circus Money Outtakes album review by Gina Vodegel, published on April 1, 2008. Find thousands jazz reviews at All About Jazz!

Apologies if this is a re-post / old query and THANK YOU to all concerned for keeping the wondrous musical flame that is WB alive. Take care & stay safe.

I've been spending a lot of time with "Circus Money" lately ("Get back with your dimestore nihilism!") and thinking--as a fan of immersive mixes, everything from quad to 5.1 to Atmos--how great it could sound in surround. Elliot Scheiner's 5.1 mixes of Gaucho, 2VN, and Everything Must Go (and DF's Nightfly trilogy) really open up those already brilliant albums and let you hear things in the performances that you've never heard before. So . . .

@Moderator: D-Mod: would you consider asking Elliot to have a go at "Circus Money" or--failing that--making the stems available for sale on Bandcamp (as Fleet Foxes did with their latest album), so that talented amateurs could give it a shot? Thanks for keeping Walter's music alive, and for being so generous with what he left behind.

Will the Circus Money or 11 tracks of Whack CD's be available to purchase again?

Hey David - they appear in this thread individually, then Matt made an EP of them. Glad you found...

I apologize Mod I jut figured out why I couldn't find the tracks before, I didn't know they were all bundled in one package and I saw it listed as the one track, Circus Money the Hammerhead Mix. Clicked download the album and found it.

David - not sure I'm getting your complaint. Every Demo and bonus cut requested is on this page --including DHD and the Bob demo. Plus, our download page has a 3-cut EP of all the Circus Money bonus tracks in one download. They're all still there -- nothing's been forced down. Or am I missing your meaning? If so, please try again...

Aww man... were these tracks forced down? was looking for a better verserion of DHD and interested in the demo version of bob is not your uncle anymore

so happens it's just a grab from the interwebs.

That house on Bob Demo vid, can you say if that is a WB house? Ocean running right up to the door, other visuals make me think it is but, could just be a house.

Glad you all enjoy.

Thanks for DHD, what a treat to hear it unclipped after all these years, & with an expanded lyric sheet to boot. Would have logged in to express thanks sooner, but was in the western Yukon, metered satellite internet, spotty and/or nonexistent cell service, & etc. Back in civilization now; thanks again! Also took a few moments to reread Bob's lyric sheet. Several online reviews read it as a pendant to Everyone's Gone to the Movies, Cousin Dupree, etc. -- Creepy Older Relative -- but to me it feels much more like the ghost of someone who's passed returning to the old house, drawn back but unable to connect with anyone save the dopey dog.

Such great stuff. Thank you so much!

That would be a very pleasant coma to fall into!

just to make sure to have a friend check you in an hour, to make sure you haven't fallen into a dub coma :-)

Thank you!

BOB IS NOT YOUR UNCLE ANYMORE (Demo)

B-side to Euro single

(W. Becker, L. Klein -2007)

This old house
 looks just the way it was


Just a tumbledown of pine and river stone

But it’s only just a shadow

of the place you knew before


Because Bob’s just not your uncle anymore

Winter’s here


And the day don’t last too long


Barely thimbles full of sunshine to go on

There’s an ocean full of midnight

rolling right up to the door
I guess

Bob’s just not your uncle anymore

And I say it without pride and without shame

That the dopey Irish Setter dog — Regan’s still his name


Well he looks right glad to see you

But he might not want to be you

Even though he loves you madly

from before


Before Bob was not your uncle anymore

Good old games


Like they play them back in town

Where the wayward daughter’s luck

runs strong and pure


You might feel like you’re a winner

but you never know for sure


Now that Bob’s just not your uncle anymore

And so we see


You can find your way back home


And that maybe when you get there

There’s a lock on every door


Now you know for certain


What the big wide world is good for


And that Bob’s just not your uncle anymore
