I wouldn't >have recognized you visually (this was pre-Facebook)... IIRC, we both mentioned having been there (afterwards, out here)...and maybe you mentioned the drink spillage (or was it between songs, and did RH even note it from the stage when it happened?) and I might have mentioned being the bald guy with my attractive GF and a stranger (as it turned out - but a nice enough guy) at about the very front-center table...and - it must have been SOMETHING (the RH call-out?) because I recalled the crash-spillage and you explained it (tilted railing along sidewall of room, right?). Anyway...yeah, that was before EITHER of us knew what we looked like (I hadn't linked my outside stuff to the list yet and - also IIRC - your blog just had that close-up "eyes" shot) - ah, the "magic" of Facebook (yeah, but THANK GAWD for pics of Jeanne, Lauren E., Viv, Eleanore, Barbara, Marcy, Carrie, Laura, etc. to balance out all of us balding, greying, ever-thickening Feg dudes)...oh well! (PS - no one left out intentionally...just mentally attempting to recall my F/B fairer-sex Feg friends!)

That record seems very singular to me. All of the songs on it are etched very deeply into my consciousness (except "Messages of Dark" -- that's a song that I can hear if I think about it but that does not come unbidden into my thoughts) but I don't think I've heard the record for 15 years, and I don't really know any of the songs on it from any other source besides that EP. I have it on a poorly dubbed cassette somewhere, but damned if I would be able to locate it. And I don't think I really need to listen to it again because as I say, the songs are a part of me.

I've never had the EP, but I believe all its tracks are on "Invisible Hitchock", which I have on CD. FWIW, I really like "Messages of Dark", even though the lyrics sadly are *not* "like a spider in the ballroom". ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 12:11:56 -0400 From: Jeremy Osner Subject: Dorothy acknowledges The Fall http://catandgirl.com/?p=2455 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:32:53 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Dorothy acknowledges The Fall On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 11:11 AM, Jeremy Osner wrote: > http://catandgirl.com/?p=2455 > His actual speech: Yes.

You left out the part where, during the other speakers' turns at the mic, he wanders out and begins adjusting the knobs on the amps to no discernible effect. later, Miles over a year of feeling guilty about not blogging enough! http://readingpronunciation.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 21:23:29 -0700 From: "Nectar At Any Cost!" Subject: Quote-Unquote just can't get over this live-wilco habit. "do you really need to download *another* fucking wilco concert?" yes, i fucking do! actually, their noise wig-outs seem to be noisier and wiggier than ever this year. in fact, i'm almost wondering whether they're now my favourite band. which, if true, would be pretty odd, considering that i don't particularly like any of the records (save the live album, natch). anyhow, checked out greg kot's book about them from the library, and here's tupelo's co-producer on their "I Wanna Destroy You": >> it's an amazing version of a great song. [...] it's an obscurity that they'd been playing in their sets for years, and their version is better than the original. << i don't hear it that way; but that's okay. apropos of nothing -- except the topic of covers that may be better than the originals -- anybody else absolutely smitten with firewater's "Paint It Black"? ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V18 #86 *******************************
