Her favorite reading matter tends toward instruction manuals & reference books and she has plenty of those, but I'm more of an omnivore going in for anything from Maurice Blanchot to mediaeval history to Sax Rohmer to Kathy Acker (Pussy, King Of the Pirates rocks!) and she just looks at this wall of print sorted in a manner which doesn't compute for her and her head starts to spin.

Better than nothing! The Philly show starts at 7:30, according to the helpful email xpn just sent me. Might I suggest a 7pm fegmeet in the bar upstairs for anyone so inclined?

I'll be at that show too. Is there a bar or something in the venue, anyone who's been there before? Having a very musical week. I kind of by accident saw moogsters Cluster last weekend at the Ashley Roedelius Story show, hosted by mellow ectomorph Chuck van Zyl of Stars End. Dieter Moebius was there and did a couple sets with Roedelius. It was unspeakably gorgeous. The Gatherings shows are usually in St. Marys church, a cozy gothic structure with lots of dim stained glass and arches galore. The Stars End folks have developed a series of gels and lights that play over the mural behind the altar and make Jesus look like hes flying. It was pouring rain outside.

You're making me relive my 40th birthday, when I found a message on my answering machine that haunted me for days. It sounded like a faraway AM radio playing "Feel A Whole Lot Better", and as I was about to hang up I heard a whiny sing-songy voice going "Yeah-uhhhh...happy-uh birthday-uhhhhhhh....". I expected to turn around and see a dwarf in a red jacket dancing around, but instead the house went dark and it turned unseasonably chilly. The memory still freaks me out. - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:25:34 -0800 From: "kevin studyvin" Subject: Re: 11/22 - NYC show On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 8:46 PM, Rex wrote: > On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 8:41 AM, JBJ wrote: > > > Hey, how about "lasik"? :-) > > > > I sense a feg-community-written song coming on here! > > > > I'll toss in "aphasic"! > > -Rex > Euras-ic? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:29:26 +1300 From: James Dignan Subject: Re: Long past unreap >On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 3:15 PM, James Dignan ><grutness@slingshot.co.nz> wrote: > >Today is Gene Clark's birthday > > >By sheer synchronicity, as I read this, "The world turns all around >her" starts up on my mp3 player. > >James > >PS - and any of you who've heard my song "She doesn't have to say >what's on her mind" knows how much I like GC's music! > > >I love that song and may still add the 12-string to it some day.
