It was such a brilliant show and the twins were absolutely loaded. At one point they got a sign from the organization that their time was up - "0 minutes left" [you know, between thumb and finger] Kim giggled: "What does THAT mean? huh huh huh... that we're a bunch zero's? huh huh huh..."

Dontcha just icture the twins together in a home home for the elderly rockstars in about 50 years - knitting, reminiscing and chatting everybody up.

Think! ;-) A few years ago I wrote a song called "Gimme Kim" [45 seconds long - bit Jesus & Mary Chain-like] about the 2 ultra-cool Kim's: Gordon & Deal. Hey, someone had to do it [and maybe many more did - it was so bloody obvious!] I still think it beats the Dandy Warhols Kim-song anytime! ;-) > Cheers, > Paul Cheers also, Bart bartvandamme@home.nl www.bartvandamme.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2001 03:00:53 -0800 From: "Paul Pietromonaco" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Cool as Kim Deal > > Actually, Kelley is a recovering alcoholic and substance abuser.

Kelley has been doing very well, and I think Kim keeps her on the straight and narrow, believe it or not. They've been rooming together, which is a good sign. > > That reminds me of a funny comment she made at the Breeders gig.

Jim McPherson joined that other fav of mine Guided by Voices, but does anyone know what Josephine Wiggs has been doing? Btw, ever heard her covering Aerosmith's testosterone-boosting "Lord of your Thighs" live? Oh my god! Eat your heart out Barry White!

Sounds familiar to me... I didn't exactly take a shortcut towards my aims [if I even had any] myself either, but then again I'd like to think that what's important in life [and in culture] is what is left over after you have forgotten all you have definitly set out to learn.

Though I found them very interesting, I lacked the foundation to put these works in their proper perspectives. So thnx [and John!] for these contributions! Hail!

Kind of cocktail lounge music, like Air, from what I remember. I should dig that album out and re-listen.
