What will it take to make the reunion a good thing?

A "hit-worthy" album and lots of radio play
A "take no prisoners" return-to-form rock album
Another progressive art-piece
A kick ass tour... album not necessary
Billy and Jimmy is enough
James
Without the original 4, its not the Pumpkins
If Billy's playing Silverfuck, I don't care
Nothing... it's horrible any way you slice it

POR VIDA: A Tribute to the Songs of Alejandro Escovedo


Release date: July 27, 2004
Alejandro Escovedo is one of the most critically acclaimed artists in contemporary music, hailed by Rolling Stone critic David Fricke for creating "his own genre" and named Artist of the Decade for the 1990s by No Depression magazine. (more...)

Widely admired for the stylistic breadth and innovation of his compositions and his facility for translating his personal experiences and observations into universal truths, he fell ill from the effects of Hepatitis C in April 2003.

The music community responded to his health crisis and its financial repercussions with a stunning outpouring of generosity and concern that culminates in Por Vida: A Tribute to the Songs of Alejandro Escovedo. On the two disc set, 30+ acts from across the musical spectrum - including Escovedo's friends, family, peers, influences and admirers - offer their inspired interpretations of his material, packaged with liner notes by famed critic Dave Marsh. A portion of the proceeds from this release will benefit the Alejandro Escovedo Medical & Living Expense Fund as well as to spearhead an ongoing assistance effort for musicians afflicted with Hepatitis C.

The album will also a feature a previously unreleased performance by Alejandro Escovedo.

the link in the story has an extra / which causes their crappy asp site to produce an error. here is the correct address [www.ormusic.com]. also, there is an article on or music's web site, but strangely enough, it looks like instead of actually type out the text of the article, they decided to scan it from a magazine. they did a bad job of it, it's a bit small and hard to read.
