An indie-rock subversive who has been known to perform in dresses almost as much as his ex-wife Courtney Love, Falling James (Moreland) has led the Leaving Trains with a revolving lineup since the group formed in 1980. Originally in a Los Angeles punk band named the Mongrels during 1978-79, Falling James formed the Downers in 1980 (with David Roback, later of Mazzy Star, and John Hoffs, the brother of the Bangles sisters) and then the Leaving Trains later that year, with guitarist Manfred Hofer, bassist Tom Hofer, keyboard player Sylvia Juncosa and drummer Hillary Laddin. The band gigged around the area during the next three years, but included only the Hofer brothers by the time Leaving Trains debuted on vinyl with 1984's Well Down Blue Highway, on Bemisbrain/Enigma Records. (From Allmusic.com)Great and rare to find album.

ReplyDeletetons to trade
I have extracted tons of rar files using bitzipper. The steps are: 1. download 2. tell your 'puter where you want the files extracted to. If you have lots of room on yr hard drive you could do that, but I use a seperate hard drive cause I download so much. 3. Open it in your itunes library (or whtever you use)
