Most assuredly it was a 2004 release, as I bought it at a Robyn Hitchcock in-store performance in Cleveland last November, just before his gig at The Beachland. Nuppy and the Rev. were also in attendance. The store owner was playing Arcade Fire after Robyn finished up, and Robyn asked what was playing, so it even got his attention. I scooped up a copy and also bought The Sadies EP that Robyn sang on. Michael B.

"Kevin Bacon," each sasquatch repeated in turn as the picture passed 'round the circle. "Ritchie Blackmore," said Eb after the first picture had completed its circuit. "Ritchie Blackmore," repeated each sasquatch in turn, as Eb arose to stoke the campfire. "The Pirates of the Caribbean," said Eb, adding, "I used to work 'Pooper-Scooper' at Disneyland." "Oprah Winfrey" ... "The Brady Bunch" ... "Mark Gloster and Big Rubber Shark" ... Picture after picture passed 'round the circle. Recall, though, that when we last left him, Eb had stated his intent to "bag" a sasquatch for Thanksgiving Dinner. How was it that now, fully five days *after* Thanksgiving, he had not only not done so, but was, in essence, conducting a seance with the so-called "West Humboldt" band of sasquatch? ("So-called" by Eb himself, that is; Eb having identified no fewer that five distinct sasquatch bands in Mendocino and Humboldt counties alone.) Let us re-trace his steps. * * * After gassing up his Alfa Romeo, he had set out for the north with nothing more than his crossbow, a thermos full of hot cocoa, and a couple of James Brown CDs. Reaching the Mendo woods, Eb had begun gaily to disrobe; but his spirits were suddenly felled by the memory of Rex's skepticism regarding his outdoorsmanship (coupled with Lawndart's apparently spot-on remarks concerning the dual nature of Eb's being). Eb decided to leave his pants on. After several hours' time, in which Eb had come to increasingly doubt his tracking abilities, he suddenly got the scent! He knew that if he could now locate a footprint, he would be hot on the trail of his elusive prey. Finally, just on the cusp of nightfall, he had a sasquatch in his sights. Eb's confidence was at a peak as he lined up his crossbow: he would indeed make it home in time for *Barney*. Alas, just at the crucial moment, Eb was stung by a hornet -- right through his pants, too -- square on his undulating johnson, causing him to badly misfire. The sasquatch, given new life, took off running like a bat out of hell. Eb hadn't come this far, though, to return home empty-handed. He slipped out of his hunting boots and into his running shoes, and took off after the sasquatch. His johnson was hurting like hell, but he couldn't worry about that now. Eb's dedicated cross-training was paying off, allowing him to gradually close in on the tiring sasquatch. But just as Eb was planning his leap to tackle the sasquatch, he was snatched up in a bear-trap. An entire band of fifteen sasquatch emerged from hiding, gathered him up, tied off his hands and feet, and returned with him to their encampment. * * * At the precise moment of Eb's entrapment, Rex, sensing a disturbance in the Force, looked up from his Donald Duck cartoon. "Eb's in trouble," he cried out. "I can feel it!" Rex knew that if there were to be any real chance of securing Eb's return in time for *Barney*, he would have to dispense with contacting the authorities, and instead locate Eb *himself*, via the black art of telepathic communication. After loosening up with a few hits of peyote, Rex began to attempt the link-up. Unfortunately, he failed utterly in his attempts to reach Eb telepathically. But the sort of funny thing is that he *was* able, through his attempts, to reach Pam Dawber. Rex and Pam Dawber conversed telepathically for many hours, neither one knowing that the other was acquainted with Eb -- nor even that the other was secretly fascinated with Eb's johnson. Finally, the two bid each other a good night, and Rex returned to his Donald Duck cartoon -- having completely forgotten about Eb's predicament. * * * Weeks later, it would occur to Eb that *the sasquatch* must have sent that bumblebee to attack his johnson -- otherwise, how could they be sure that he would not have killed the bait-sasquatch with his crossbow? Presently, however, the sasquatch were animatedly discussing Eb's fate. Owing to the language barrier, Eb couldn't make out precisely what it was that they were planning to do with him. But as near as he could tell, it would include the placing (ofttimes quite forcibly) of foreign objects into each of his orifices *other than* his rectum. This filled Eb with some trepidation. He knew that the only way to prevent himself being tortured was to learn the sasquatch in the ways of the Circle Jurk. This would necessarily require the removing of his pants. But Rex, Lawndart, Yanni, and anybody else could just take a flying leap -- there was no *fucking* way that Eb was going to be subject to the placing of foreign objects into every one of his orifices *other than* his rectum. We shan't delve into the details of the hows-whys-and-hertofores that would subsequently transpire; enabling Eb to remove both his trusses and his trousers, and then learn the sasquatch in the ways of the Circle Jurk. Suffice to say that, having learned them the black art of pleasing one's self, Eb became a kind of messiah to the sasquatch, who then undertook to immerse themselves in the finest details of Eb's culture. Whereon, Eb spent the better part of the next week holding seances with the many sasquatch bands in the Mendo and Humboldt woods. Eb might well have spent the remainder of his live-long days in those woods; for he had come to enjoy the tranquility offered by the humble nature of the sasquatch lifestyle. But as so often happens to tribal peoples who prefer only to be left alone to jurk off in peace and harmony; "civilisation" would soon come calling; crashing Eb's pastoralist fantasy down to the very ground upon which he so gaily trod: you see, there was still the matter of the 27 fat sheep owed by Eb to the British Crown. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2005 15:21:35 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: WanderLust -- The Next Adventure On 11/29/05, Hurricane Jesus wrote: > But as so often happens to tribal peoples who prefer only to be left alone > to jurk off in peace and harmony; "civilisation" would soon come calling; > crashing Eb's pastoralist fantasy down to the very ground upon which he so > gaily trod: you see, there was still the matter of the 27 fat sheep owed by > Eb to the British Crown.

Nah, your posts don't read as dramatic; just casually, needlessly spiteful. I don't get the impulse, but that's well-established.

This has a great laid back vibe with Robyn and Grant obviously having a great time on stage. Sound is excellent quality SBD except for the first song, which is a very rough audience recording. After some wild volume swings the taper plugs right into the SBD with the tape rolling. So I did a little editing work to smooth the volume out and remove the big THUNKS as the mikes are removed and the SBD plugged in. The rest of the show is just great, and the first track is more of a soundcheck and intro than a real song anyway. So don't let the shaky start stop you from downloading. For purists or people who might be able to do a better editing job than I did, I include the original unedited first track also. USE WITH CAUTION!!!! Do not play in a quality stereo system at any kind of normal volume or you will be buying new speakers when the first THUNK hits. - --- info file --- Grant Lee Hitchcock - 2000-10-18 - Maxwell's, Hoboken NJ SBD (except disc 1 track 1, audience mics until plugged into SBD) - -> minidisc master - -> cdr master (standalone burner) - -> wav (EAC) disc 1 track 1 - edited to normalize volume, remove some huge glitches - -> flac (level 8) CD1 01 Gene Hackman/Intro 02 Heavenly 03 Queen Elvis 04 St. Expedite 05 Flavour of Night 06 The Shallow End 07 Antwoman 08 Mockingbirds 09 between song chat/What Can You See if You Listen Very Quietly 10 I Feel Beautiful 11 Honey Don't Think 12 Instrumental/chat 13 Ye Sleeping Knights of Jesus 14 Lonesome Serenade 15 Dark Princess CD2 01 Mighty Joe Moon 02 It's the Life 03 Mr. Kennedy 04 Fuzzy 05 Happiness 06 Daisy Bomb 07 Cynthia Mask 08 ?? 09 All I Have to Do is Dream 10 Trams of Old London - --- flac ffps --- GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t01.flac:ea35b92f990be0963c624721b2f99fd4 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t02.flac:9c07881f185faacc255e9c64a31dc61c GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t03.flac:e7d6105668518122fdeb23fe634c8a05 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t04.flac:cd35d022091987767d3f9ecb517a95c4 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t05.flac:011cb4b0523a6e093869ef9e1cbd97b4 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t06.flac:7f0230a35323fc60da40b46fc7d112fd GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t07.flac:e000ba57d66590840a61ca28126bb4ed GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t08.flac:ad9de7c9b759684d4c7622b4f31b3d18 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t09.flac:f4882fd03be986f10152b702404db5cd GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t10.flac:77f7b8623519f7d548ea0c028bf34174 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t11.flac:2a7e10b166ab7202a42ed41927a1bd67 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t12.flac:5277b6752a893672862cd5cbd535324c GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t13.flac:344434a463eeaef90bf4eb7050c31943 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t14.flac:e71ab3322a7bf2dfc8f970e8bb42283f GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d1t15.flac:d2ea98a37f40c948888067b207b37515 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t01.flac:5746b6c634968899eee6bdb657d08daa GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t02.flac:845c75ca0f390815eead3b48d0ace175 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t03.flac:4840ef7c6c9970bda8aac3121bb44a03 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t04.flac:3b565da2697c9a124f94cc67d2292356 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t05.flac:15b7b82b8fc2318b7c053dd1efb019fb GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t06.flac:c342a66cab15a3ba140f85105cc3881e GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t07.flac:5e7165b19165e26f1379586abc29a660 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t08.flac:69387f1ca7dcefded70f5cecf485a26e GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t09.flac:4f4db7886fd17c1fe2e112a44534ec40 GLHitchcock - 2000-10-18 - d2t10.flac:162c43c00c28187f772e22f6e8506e87 Original d1t01 USE WITH CAUTION!.flac:0f0e25c61222e232a1c58b9477afa4a9 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V14 #277 ********************************
