Giving it a first listen now. And am really looking forward to hearing Whiney on there, most of all. I just wish that it had better notes regarding recording dates and such. And maybe a little commentary from the guys.

whiney = jon brion?

Whiney = Parts & Labor
I believe that he's the drummer.
And, it's a pretty cool song. First I've really heard them (shame on me) and I think I need to investigate more.

Whiney is no longer with Parts & Labor.

Since there are no recording dates in the notes (fuckers), I'm not sure whether or not this is from when he's still in the band. Although, the songwriting credits do include his name. So, I'm assuming that he's on the recording.

I think Whiney was still in the band at the time of that recording.

Cool disc.

That live Peter, Bjorn, & John track is incredibly disappointing.
I love the song in its better-known incarnation, but this version sounds positively anemic. There is no arrangement. The vocals are weak. And the whistling that is so central to the song sounds like it's being done by an asthmatic 2-year-old.
Bummer.
