Most people of taste would say that the pre-Hunkpapa material is the stuff of worth, and I'm guessing you're in that camp. I find it all but unlistenable myself. Also I'd never seen Hersh perform until a year or so ago, and I thought she was fantastic. > From: glen uber > > Would Weezer's "Sweater Song" count?

I've had a crush on her ever since the Breeders video for "Hellbound," but the more I read about her in interviews and the like, the less crushy I feel. I tend to agree that her solo stuff is a little too easy on the ears, but it's nice to have available.

My niece had her 4th birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, a children's party center (bad pizza and no beer). They had the typical kids music playing, which I was doing my best to ignore, when this large animatronic mouse came out of the wall and sang "Walking on Sunshine". For a moment, I had to wonder if I was still stoned from the Sick & Twisted animation festival last night. It was certainly more unsettling than anything I saw at last night's show. Here's a late response to some recent posts: my 1st concert--the Captain & Tennille (September 1975, Carowinds amusement park on the North/South Carolina state line, for my 11th birthday) 1st concert shirt--Kansas (1978--yes, I still have it but no, it hasn't fit since about 1980) 1st Hitchcock show--6/14/89 at Lisner Auditorium, Washington, DC. Hitchcock & the Egyptians/Winterhours/Poi Dog Pondering. I had a front row seat and met Robyn, Andy, & Morris after the show. It sounds like a few people here were at that show. I was wondering if one of you were the guy with the LP copy of Invisible Hitchcock who was waiting to get it signed at the stage door, near the tour bus after the show. 1st time I met Bayard--2001, at one of the Soft Boys shows, either Fletcher's or the 9:30, definitely by the time we saw the Plaza show in New York. 1st time I met Eddie--pretty sure it was 11/20/99, before the Rock Armada show at the Troubadour in Hollywood. Next Hitchcock show--4/27 at the Largo, Hollywood. Later, Marc n.p.--the Residents--Eat Exuding Oinks!
