Don't forget "Face The Face".  And while we're at it John's "Talk Dirty"
shows he can throw down as well.

Well that's what happens here, only the "hero" is the villain.  Listening to
it again, so much of "Lifehouse '99" drips with self-accusation and
self-pity.  Well, at least that part's Pete!

When Pete sings it it's obviously a joke.  Roger's read comes out like
"there's adhesive tape on my nose.  Stop laughing."

Wow, different opinion here.  When I finally heard Roger sing that I thought
"so that's how it should be sung."  Maybe Roger was just a better singer in
1970/1?

"Lifehouse Chronicles" is to be released in the U.S. as a SINGLE CD called
"Lifehouse Elements".  As I already posted on Pete's BBS (aren't you on
there, Mark?) a single CD of it has already come out.  It's called "Who's
Next".
