[Listening] What are the album title and artist name does the host say?

[dylc]

I only heard some words and lost the most important parts, artist and album title

??? warmed up for us with ??? here from their album of last year ???

 

[emsr2d2]

She says "Rick Estrin and the Nightcats getting us warmed up with Hot in Here from their album of last year Grooving in Greaseland.

 

[dylc]

Thanks. I found even I have known it now, I still cannot identify the syllable clearly especially the album title.

 

[Tarheel]

Ems, what does that mean (in post #3)?

:-?

 

[emsr2d2]

Tarheel, why are you asking me what post #3 means? I didn't write it! Try asking dylc. ;-)

 

[Tarheel]

Yes, but you are good at figuring that stuff out. (Better than I am.)

;-)

I am nominating you for a raise in pay.

[emsr2d2]

Oh, I see! Well, I think post #3 is supposed to mean "Thanks, but even though I now know what she says, I still can't hear the words clearly, particularly the album title".

 

[dylc]

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Could you let me know what's wrong in my statement? Comparing the rephrased version I think it may be

1. The tense. I have known -> now I know.
2. Improper words. identify the syllable -> hear the words.

As a non-native speaker, I really don't feel any difference and that's that most difficult part to learn for me.

 

[Tarheel]

You could say:

I didn't know it then, but I know it now

"I have known"

I have known her for two years.

:up:

 

[dylc]

Thanks. I think I know the difference. Just wondering which part of my original statement confused you so that I can avoid that kind of mistake in the future.

The part in red below was the ungrammatical part we were struggling to comprehend.

Thanks. I found even I have known it now, I still cannot identify the syllable clearly especially the album title.

 

[jutfrank]

It seems to me that what you were trying to say in the red part in the post above was something like:

I find that even though I now know what it is.

Thank you everyone. Your answers help me a lot.
