Mad props to the anonymous taper who sent me this show to share.

1. There is a "slapback" clipping sound that is occasionally quite 
noticeable; Robyn was using a lapel mic duct-taped to his guitar
soundhole which drifted up into the strumming area. It sounds like
a digital defect, but was clearly evident at the show.

2. The extra material on d2 is *not* listed as ...d2t12 and d2t13
but rather correctly given its own name/date code (i.e. the Robyn
interview is robynh11-8-2004.wav). These two files should sort 
alphanumerically to their correct track position on the disc when
viewing all the files together, but heads-up in case not.

Feed the fish, not the machines.

Subject: Quick endorsement

I know I'm coming to this one belatedly, but I think the Thrills/So Much
for the City is the best debut I've heard since Rufus Wainwright's. Just
a shockingly addictive CD. I've played it about four times already, and
it's pretty rare that I give CDs repeat listens within a brief
timeframe.

I'm still catching up on 2003 releases, alas, but this is my favorite
release of last year (so far!).

I have to agree; It was the perfect album for me last summer.
I've heard that the new album is not as great - but worhwhile.  It's definitely on my list.

You're off to a good start...Max is tops in my book. Did he try to pawn off
on you any old Brian Wilson or Sun-Ra recordings? Welcome, in any case.

Subject: Paul Fox for Mayor: Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And *Love* Perspex Island

whensoever it is that i'm attached to my
portable-personal-device-intended-for-imbibing-of-quasi-legally-obtained-mus
ic-files (which is frequently), i'm listening to all of my rekkids in
alphabetical order.

it just so happens that i listened to *Perspex Island* last night.  the
received wisdom is that it's the weakest egyptians album -- but that the
*songs*, in a live setting, are quite fantastic (this point was driven home
quite dramatically during the ROCK ARMADA tour).  it's a wisdom i have
(unlike the similar wisdom concerning *Groovy Decay*) agreed with.

but i'm telling you, if you listen to that fucker through headphones (i
previously had not), with the volume cranked up way past "ten"; it'll rock
you to the very core of your being (that is, when it's not haunting you to
the very core of your being -- see especially "If You Go Away").

this has been a public service announcement.


<You left your recorder so I could tape it, and the thing malfunctioned.>

heh heh.  i wasn't going to mention that part.  it's been surprising,
reading the threads over at easytree, how many people experience battery
difficulties during field recording.  i figured i was the only one, and
that owing to my general aptitude for dipshittedness.  i think that
battery-level meters (both in the chargers, and in the field recorders
themselves) are more to blame that one might generally suspect.


<Looks like I saw both of the top tier, two of the fourth tier, and 2 fifth
tier shows. I thought the DC and Baltimore shows were great, but definitely
not as good as LA.>

well, it's all relative.  but if one *had* to rank them...


<Maybe the CD was recoded in Nashville., but I doubt it.>

speaking of recoding, who do i need to get in touch with about inventing a
peripheral that will rip laserdiscs?  is such a thing possible?


<Reap
Dan Rather's stint as an anchor.>

a review in today's (wednesday) *Seattle Times* says that his "memorable
work" in the covering of hurricane carla "got him a job with CBS" -- but
criminally neglects to "remember" that were it not for jason's grandfather,
carla would've made his motherfucking death-bed right then and there!

I used to listen to MOST of my records on headphones in the era when
Perspex Island was released.  I'm wondering if my unusually high (for this
list) opinion of that album is related to that fact.

Then again, I probably STILL like Queen Elvis best.  When was the last
time Robyn did Veins of the Queen, anyway?

There are some laserdisc rips floating around various torrents right now.
In particular, non-"special" versions of the Star Wars Trilogy.  I'll have
to pull one down to see if it's just a framegrab or what.

Well, 15 November 2004 at the Philadelphia, PA show, for one.  After that, I
can't attest.

Unless you were being ironic.

(...in which case what I said would still be the case.)

I personally am a pretty big Perspex Island fan (I claim at least partial
responsibility for Robyn's playing of 'Ride' at the 15 November show.)  It
took me a long time to fall in love with that album - it seemed plain in a
way, and I had an inherent resistance to all the press it received.  Not to
mention the damn thing wouldn't fit on one side of a 90-minute tape for my
car.  These days, I guess I would say it was straightforward, but that
doesn't keep it from being a gorgeous album.  And its ending with 'Earthly
Paradise' really, really helps.

Thanks very much for the welcome.

No pawning by Mr. Max Lang, but I did drag out of my brain that he was
responsible for my copy of the 'Notes from the Underwater' [sic?] CD from
The Soft Boys reunion tour.  So Max is 100% okay by me.  Even 110%.

Sad, but that guy's voice bugs the shit out of me.  It's the wall between me
and my
love of Rush.

I confess I am somewhat proud of the fact that someone once said it was the

Actually, I have had more trouble worrying about battery life/media
