Ain't it nice?  I'm bummed he did it last night and not Tuesday when I went.

Oh, and thanks to Marc for being Marc and doing the whole reservation
thing.  It was a great show and nice gathering o' fegs.  I'll probably
have more comments on the show later, but a good time was had by all,
and Robyn is playing guitar like a mutha these days.

Okay.  This is for Tuesday's show.

Shirts:
First set: black button-up shirt with white dots.  RH referred to it
when doing a Dylan cover off of the "dots" disc of "Robyn Sings!".
Second set:  similarly cut shirt, more colorful pattern.  Crowd
comment:  "Nice shirt!"
Pants: black-looking jeans.

Hair:  
White or close to it.  The sort of long-on-one-side thing observable
on the photos in the Luxor artwork is very prominent now.  As a
consequence his hair-flips now go in one direction only.

Girth:
Quite slim indeed.

Telecaster:  
Not RH's and barely functional.

Plecta/fingerstyle ratio:
About 1/3 fingerpicked and man has he become a master of it.

How's that?

Great viewing material, though Robyn really needs to clip those 
fingernails (anyone else grossed out by that pinky finger??)

I don't know how these things work, and I confess to not having seen this
one in the theatre...so it "Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho" only on the VHS / DVD
packaging?  Or perhaps it became "Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho" after the
"remake"?  Or is it indeed "Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho"?

Whatever it's called...a fine movie.

N.B. Personal favourite will always be "(Alfred Hitchcock's?) Vertigo"...

G5s being too dear, I'm looking to move up from a Yikes! to a 
Quicksilver (can't stand the sight of a MDD).  VLC too often gives me 
the "computer too slow?" message, and watching .avi is about the most 
taxing thing I do (see below), although I might be tempted to try 
converting them to .mpg if I had enough power.

I figure I can pick up a 933 pretty cheap, but would I be better off 
spending a bit more for a dual?  If so, is the 1000 that much better 
than the 800?

My powers extend only to Robyn's choice of shirt, pant, and shoes.

Although as an aside, I will predict he will play "Creeped Out" in the place
where he should have played "Sometimes a Blonde".  This prediction is based
on fear of disappointment, nothing more.

I also like the Dogs Die In Hot Cars record. It's a really divisive
one - you either love them or loathe them. But I think they've got a

Maybe we should do a show together. We open, they close and we kind of

ps: Speaking of old, Dave Allen was only 68?  I thought he was 68 back
when I was a kid.

Busy day, so here's another quick wrap-up of last night's show. I'm already 
back in Phoenix and need to be heading to work in less than an hour (and 
working until midnight).

The first set was probably the best of all three evenings:
Mexican God
A Skull, A Suitcase, and A Long Red Bottle of Wine
Daisy Bomb
52 Stations
1974
Chinese Bones

(piano)
Self-loving Groover (new)
Ted, Woody & Junior

(Telecaster)
She Doesn't Exist Any More
You & Oblivion
Solpadeine

(acoustic)
Television

set 2
Arms of Love
She Reached for a Light
The Yip Song
Vegetation and Dimes

(add Winston Watson on drums)
The End of Your Nose (Museum of Sex)(?)
I Wish I Could Fly (new)
Visions of Johanna--Dylan

(add Paul on bass--last name never used, Winston's friend)
Listening to the Higsons

(Robyn on Telecaster--moved to piano at the end of the song)
Up On Cripple Creek (the Band)

A really enjoyable evening, but the set seemed to fall apart at the end 
rather than finishing with anything really outstanding. Maybe I was a bit 
bummed that I didn't get a single request played out of 8 songs submitted. I 
was really glad to hear 52 Stations, but I probably got my hopes a bit high 
for something less played. One of the friends I was with and I both managed 
to buy cones that Robyn did up for the merchandise area, and they still had 
the vintage shirts (I've come to turn you on, Please don't call me Reg, He 
never made love to a loaf of bread...). Robyn was really friendly all three 
nights and easy to approach. He will be back at the Largo tonight, to see 
Jon Brion do his show, so I'd expect a bit more Hitchcock/Largo action to 
happen. I don't know if anyone is planning to be there from the group, but 
I'd be interested to hear what happens. Looking forward to seeing him Sunday 
at Hotel Congress in Tucson. Later,   Marc

Oops ... I just read Dave Allen's obituary and realized that I had been
thinking of Steve Allen, who apparently died several years ago....

50 Foot Wave release their debut album "Golden Ocean" on this week.

Formed by Kristin Hersh in 2003, 50 Foot Wave released a self-titled mini album last year - 6 blistering songs whose electrifying energy astonished anyone who encountered them.  Now the band follow that up with "Golden Ocean", their full-length debut.

50 Foot Wave is Hersh's first new band since she founded the influential Throwing Muses, and it's a harder, faster, more direct experience than anything she has recorded before.  Kristin sums up her vision for 50 Foot Wave thus : "What could be more fun that turning everything up to 10 and screaming your head off for an hour every night?"

***

These are the songs which make up "Golden Ocean", as described by Kristin  :

* Long Painting

"There was a company in Seattle called "Long Painting" that was being accused of poisoning the environment when we lived there.  We also have a very "long painting" of my husband done by the artist Rufo, hanging in our living room.  A little beauty, a little ugly...it all works out in the end.  Or it's supposed to, anyway."

* Bone China

"Bones and dishes break, so does most everything else, especially when you're jumpy and twitchy."

* Clara Bow

"Summer is SO stupid and EVERYBODY likes it.  Why?  After she retired, Clara Bow moved out to the desert with her husband and sons and then lost control of her brain."

* Pneuma

"Pneuma is soul breath.  We have to breathe through pollution and see past the idiots and hear each other through their inane chatter."

* Dog Days

"A dirty beach, angry coffee, a prickly touch... all things that are supposed to  be soothing but which aren't always on your side."

* Petal

"Going home, you find out that home's gone, so you try to remember it exactly as it was."

* Sally Is A Girl

"This song is about a blackout in August in New Orleans.  It's very hot there, even at night, so everybody was outside walking around, trying to keep cool.  It didn't work.  The title comes from an episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" about gender confusion and stereotyping."

* El Dorado

"This is a "life on the road" song, unfortunately.  Sorry.  Most of my life has been spent on the road.  At least it's not a country song, though.  When you get fried eggs in a diner, they always look like eyeballs."

* Ginger Park

"Remembering what it was like to grow up in a beach town... greasy french fries and glossy tourists.  Diving... Killing time falling into each other, each of you hoping you're good enough for  the other one."

* Golden Ocean

"The "golden ocean" is what my 8 year old son, Wyatt, calls the LA lights at night.  He puts me to shame by seeing beauty in everything, when I just glance up and then back down again."
