The more I listen the recording of the Austin show, even though the mic had some spl difficulty, the more I realize just how kick-ass the show was. Short but sweet, and I think I was so wrapped up in making a good recording, I forgot about the essential things that are suppose to go along with a concert, like sex and pot. Shit I didn't even dance for fear of annoying the mic, and I must have looked very odd standing in my big green jacket, putting my finger over my mouth, whispering ssshhh and pointing at my pocket whenever anyone tried to talk to me. I hope recording the show in Portland is easier than it was at SXSW. We were nearly strip searched going in, lots of patting and touching for everyone. I referred to the searcher as "finger britches" as we approached in line, he was not amused. I watched at least 5 people get turned away for carrying recording devices, they all had wristbands or badges.

They didn't actually blow me away--lots of big crunchy cords. Nice funny shtick tho, semi Spinal Tap w/ "Your Truth, Our Lies." Didn't get to meet any listees(snif). Chatted up a few likely folks. I've been to few enuf RH concerts there's still an element of "what do other fegs *look* like?" Is it just my experience or is RH getting to be more of a physical performer, dancing w/ Grant Lee, & now these big arm gestures w/ his big arms? Seems in the past he more likely kept his arms on his guitar during a monologue. I'm appending my notes from late last nite. In the interest of fragmentation & decay I'm not editing them. ========= morris minus mustache; morris minor microphony -- I couldn't hear him sing. Complaint. Barely heard Kimberly sing. But KR's guitar was great & so was MW's drumming -- cool toms. Ol perv was better because drums were louder. Toms on queen of eyes very byrdsian. who KR looks like: w/ basic manic smile & haircut, very like David Crosby in old byrds videos; expected him to fly into stoned harangue about Pres. Kennedy's murder conspiracy. W/ some of his really big grins looked like short version of Red Skelton; expected harangue about Gertrude & Heathclif. Up close w/ the chiseld cheek lines & the coiffed silver hair got some Keith Richards effect. A visual plus as well as sonic. Robyn inspired in monologues -- meringue harangue -- "I was too young to be a hippie so I became nihlistic" - --plus the whole thing. Also people on both sides of the primal mouth in UM. New songs so good it's driving me crazy, but I don't want audience tape. I'll just have something to look forward to. Between old song & new song "That was from the old album, this is from the new album." Particularly Mr. Kennedy. Bits of "Astronomie Dominie" guitar squeaks in the jam. Afterwards waited around taking cues from someone who needed a cone signed. Found RH a bit late, gave him Wash. Review copy w/ info, said I wanted to ask him about novel. "Well I've got to finish it. I go around telling people what I'm doing & then I don't do it." Sounding guilty. Somebody gave him a present. He was being rapidly re-absorbed by his normal life "I've got family stuff to do." So I didn't get to say "If you're taking a long time on the novel, good for you." Still want to try to contact him about his stories, & sonic book. Which was not in evidence for sale. Kingdom of Love-- "...in the physical..." his shades fall onto his mouth "...kingdom of time..." he gets them off.

"Our songs are a work in progress until they hit the shelf," he said. "If the songs are good enough, I'm sure people will want to buy the record." Hooboyo. They evolve until they meet their target demographic... then it's a product and will be unchanged for all time! I think people (especially afficianados of live recordings) understand quite well that the quality of a recording and the immediate interpretation by the band play a huge role in the way a song sounds. We all can enjoy Robyn doing a country version of Uncorrected Personality Traits with Grant Lee Phillips... even if we just hear some audience recording on a glorified dictaphone. We KNOW that the song could be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT on an album. These "artists" quoted in the story seem to think that their fans will hear a song from a live recording and think "wow... that's exactly how it'll sound on a record. I wish their voices weren't so fuzzy... oh, well, I won't buy the album now. Too bad." Please.

This was the first time I have seen Robyn play with a full band and I hope it is not the last, the interplay between him and Kimberly is great especially on the new song Mr. Kennedy.

If the latter, well, that's me. Sorry if my casual glances came off as dirty looks! It wasn't deliberate -- I just always look like a sourpuss. Actually, this was one of those rare shows where I bore no animosity toward anyone in the audience: no one burned me with a cigarette or shouted "Freebird!" right in my ear or blinded me with a flash. It was heavenly. Speaking of heavenly, the music itself was great too. So was the Philly show, which I decided to attend at the last minute. On the whole I think the DC show was slightly better; in particular I liked "I Wanna Destroy You" in DC a bit better, along with the accompanying Bush monologue. I also liked having the YFF come out for an encore. (What did happen to their drummer, anyway?) And the DC pants were just incredible. (They glowed like a key lime iBook!) But don't get me wrong, the Philly show was great too. I particularly enjoyed "Queen of Eyes" that night. As always it was great to get together with Fegs. Last night I enjoyed meeting Melissa, Carissa and Ed and re-meeting Scott and Dave (let me join the chorus in praise of Dave's veggie chili), plus a few non-list-members, and Kay in Philly the night before. (Kay, the amount of energy you displayed dancing before the stage frightened me a little.) And I also enjoyed the company of more familiar Fegs like woj, Eddie, Snoop Bayardy Bayard, and Ethyl Ketone, and I saw a non-list old friend at each show as a bonus. And there's still the New York show on Saturday! This is turning into a fun week. The only problem is, now I need to go home and sleep for about twenty hours.

It has a Blue Lace pickup in the neck position, and two Red Lace pickups in a splittable humbucker configuration at the bridge. I used to own this exact model, only mine had a transparent red finish. This is the only guitar I've ever really regretted selling, which I stupidly did back in my "I'm only going to play Stick" phase. Bah.
