I have the original vinyl, which I guess is worth $$ now, but double LPs have always been a pain to deal with. I saw a video once of BHS doing The One I Love live. Seriously odd, with smoke everywhere, Gibby singing through the magic box of vocal effects and between verses setting dollar bills on fire (knowing him they were probably real) and throwing them into the audience. Evidently they've regrouped and are on the road with a stop scheduled here next month, about the same time as our Uncle Robbie. Could be fun... On the other hand I just discovered that the Flaming Lips outdoor show at Marymoor Park, that I had been thinking was this month, actually happened a couple weeks ago and I MISSED IT. So it goes, as Kurt V. used to say. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 20:09:39 -0700 (PDT) From: "carole reichstein" Subject: condolences to Glen Glen, I'm so sorry! I met you and your wife Carol at the GAMH in 1999, briefly, and I still remember the good cheer that emanated from you, Carol, and all the other Fegs there. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss; I can't even imagine. There have been way too many passings lately; I know I am getting older and that this kind of thing happens, but it doesn't make it any easier to bear. Gnat? Dad? Carol?

To be fair, I really dislike the Thrills and Malkmus from his list, and am still thoroughly "ehhhh" when it comes to Secret Machines, so there, I don't like anyone! >> The Streets (though the last two were pretty dire) >> Franz Ferdinand >> The Fiery Furnaces > > See, now *these* suck all sorts of equine spheroids for me.

I wasn't sure that I liked it, and sometimes I was more sure that I didn't like it, but I also couldn't quit playing it. I finally decided that I *did* like it after all, though acquiring EP (or is it the EP EP?) helped me transition from skeptic to fan. > Seriously, you don't like Apollo Sunshine?

Here's what I've heard and not liked from that roll call: Animal Collective Arcade Fire Architecture In Helsinki The Be Good Tanyas Beirut Bon Iver Bright Eyes Broken Social Scene Camera Obscura Decemberists Deerhoof Devendra Banhart Felice Brothers Four Tet Frightened Rabbit Joanna Newsom Caribou/Manitoba Mull Historical Society Okkervil River Panda Bear The Polyphonic Spree Queens Of The Stone Age The Sadies Secret Machines The Shins Maybe they're representative of the ones I haven't heard, maybe not.

I'm trying to remember - I'm having brain issues with bands with similar names...I think I've heard Apollo Sunshine but I'm not sure. I shall check my library forthwith.
