11[Quail Dude Squaw -- not final name, but working name -- from the interview http://www.nessaholics.com/pages/katia_tricia_interview_aug_7.html ]
I just read that interview again, and I came across a passage that I found interesting:
...There's actually two new songs on the album that no one's ever heard before...[R]ight now [one]'s being called "Quail Dude Squaw...Before there were the two blizzard songs (of which White Houses is one), there were these two new songs...one of them the Interlude/Qualylude/Quail Dude Squaw that she mentioned as being hard to play in the interview, and which Kulp included above in his list. The other she simply refers to as a "new song that no one's ever heard before"...therefore, assuming that Ameriteen is off, there will be 11 tracks on Harmonium:
1. Morning Sting
2. C'est La Vie
3. Papa
4. Quail Dude Squaw
5. (Second totally new song)
6. San Fransisco
7. White Houses
8. Private Radio
9. (Second Blizzard Song)
10. She Floats
11. Afterglow
The second totally new song takes the place of Ameriteen.
Of course, then there's Nessa's post from the o-board saying that she "just wrote two new songs that are bumping some old ones off". These two new songs that she had just written are the blizzard songs, of course. The question that this raises, however, is the one that has never been answered: what are the "old ones" that got bumped off? From the surmised track lists that we can come up with, all songs likely to be on Harmonium, even without the blizzard-bumping :razz:, are present and accounted for. Plus, in the interview already mentioned twice above, when asked if there would be any old songs on Harmonium, Vanessa replied "...Afterglow's kinda old..." If you read that section of the interview, it seems to say that Afterglow is the oldest song on the album. Everything else that might be deemed old (e.g. Papa, C'est La Vie) she's performed live, and therefore isn't really "old". Plus, even if Afterglow, Papa, C'est La Vie, or She Floats
were considered old enough for two of them to be the "old ones" being bumped off, then there would have to be two more
completely new songs on Harmonium that she hasn't told anyone about yet....
Now, as I was just writing that, it suddenly dawned on me that that's a very real possiblility. While it seems unlikely to me that any of the four "old" songs mentioned above would comprise the two bumbped off, if they do, then there must have been, at the time of the interview, two more completely new songs in the works, which would now be providing the extra songs needed to make at least 11 tracks on Harmonium. (this assumes that there will be at least 11 tracks)
What I had originally intended to claim is that there were two more completely new songs in the works, and those have now been bumped off in favor of the blizzard pair.
So, in conclusion of perhaps the longest post in my life, it seems to me (seems to me, mind you, this is a fairly presumptuous leap on my part, I think) that there are the two
most likely possible track lists for Harmonium:
A. What I have listed toward the beginning of this post, in which case two completely new songs, never heard and never mentioned (besides the post saying that two old ones were bumped off), are the ones being bumped off Harmonium
B. What I have listed, except minus two of the "old", but not really "old" songs: Afterglow, Papa, C'est La Vie, etc.
* * *
I'm hoping that it's A. Of course, as I said earlier, this is very presumptuous on my part, I think...
and plus, I sort of changed my conclusion mid-post, so I'm not sure how sturdy this opinion is...
