"Brian" fanofmoosedrool@... fanofmoosedrool asked:

"Since the amount of live recordings from Ivy is extremely limited (i.e.
a handful of songs) and the amount from Brookville is non-existent, can
the moderator (or whoever is the one that is able to contact Andy) ask
Andy if he ever considered passing off some soundboard copies of shows
to people on the list so that they can be seeded and distributed? Or is
he staunchly anti-taping and doesn't appreciate the live stuff being
spread around? Since there's nothing out there really, he'd be able to
pick and choose the Ivy/Brookville shows he likes to distribute."

Thanks for the query, Brian!

Here's what Andy had to say back (good news inside)!

"I don't think we're that crazy about most of the live recordings of
Ivy. We are somewhat perfectionists (no, really??) so we tend to cringe
when we hear those things. We certainly wouldn't go out of our way to
distribute them, put it that way. And I don't think we are in possession
of many live or in-studio performances. The few that I do have we plan
on possibly using for our eventual B-sides/bonus tracks/live/unreleased
tracks album. That album will probably come out soon after our next
album, which we're about halfway finished recording. We're probably
talking late 2008 to mid 2009. And there really is nothing for
Brookville, at least I don't have any life recordings. I have one live
radio show recording and I want that to remain exclusive so that I can
release it next year."


Anyone else want to pepper them with questions? Don't know if we'll
always get answers, but asking can't hurt!
