Talk:Jules Shear

message: In the "Notes" section (which shouldn't be a "Notes" section, but I don't know how to fix it all up), it might (or might not) be worthy to name the three previously-unreleased songs on The Trap Door EP, since that disc is almost surely out of print.  According to Answers.com, they are: "His Audience Has Gone To Sleep"; "She Makes Things Happen"; and "Nothing Is Left Behind".  I'll let somebody else make the decision about including this info.  
Also, I discovered one of my own errors:  Polar Bear guitarist Richard Bredice was NOT on The Great Puzzle.  Two other dudes named Richard were slinging axes on that one, and I believe Bredice IS on The Eternal Return (but I'd have to dig out my box of LPs to be sure), so my mind mixed the two together.  I should NOT have been relying on my mind in the first place.  My apologies.

message: Source: Funky Kings album, Funky Kings. (Say "funky kings" five times fast.) Likewise, it's "Reckless Sleepers", not "The Reckless Sleepers", and the title of their album is Big Boss Sounds! not Big Boss Sounds.
Article has been edited to reflect this.

thread_title:  It's "Funky Kings" not "The Funky Kings" 

message: I'm editing the section "About the Albums", and it seems like the past tense is being used incorrectly. For examples: It seems to me, that on the one hand -- 
: "Steady" was co-written with Cyndi Lauper . . .
-- or -- 
: Watch Dog was produced by Todd Rundgren 
-- is correct, but --
: Demo-Itis was a collection of home and studio demos . . . 
-- or --
: The Eternal Return opened with "If She Knew What She Wants" . . . 
-- is not correct. Demo-itis remains a collection of demos. The Eternal Return still opens with "If She Knew What She Wants". So I'm changing these sorts of sentences to present tense. Hope this is correct.

thread_title:  Tense forms in describing the albums 

message: In my edit of this section, I removed some parenthetical asides. I didn't feel it should be necessary to give an example of the difference between first-person and third-person narrative form, in the lyrical differences between Jules's original "If She Knew What She Wants" and the cover version by The Bangles. The terms were wikified, so readers could look them up. I also didn't believe it was necessary to explain that a credit for playing "lead guitar" means you played the guitar solos. As mentioned in my previous comment here, I changed the past tense to present in certain cases. Hopefully I got it all right. Generally, I restructured each paragraph in the hopes of making it clearer without adding too much. This section has the potential to get very sloppy.
