Sorry Betsy, Let me apologize publicly. I totally forgot there was someone else on the list with "Pantone" in their addy. It wasn't intentional. I tell you what, if you want to keep that name on here, I'll change mine to another one. Just let me know off the list, and I'll change it. If I don't hear from you by say, Wednesday 4-14, I'll assume you've changed yours and I'll keep this one. - --Mark ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2010 16:02:23 EDT From: TruePantone293@aol.com Subject: [loud-fans] from the liner notes to The Method Actors' THIS IS STILL IT Thought this was pretty well-said. This is from an interview with Vic Varney, conducted by high school student Vic Goetz in 2008, a student at Montogomery Bell High School in Nashville: You have to know a little about New York at that time. Other than the Ramones, most of the bands that were making a big splash--Patti Smith, Television, Talking Heads, DNA, James Chance, all that No New York stuff--were pretty I-driven. Introspective, all about, like, What do they fucking MEAN? It was sort of a badge of honor if you couldn't play and couldn't sing and hated everything. I mean, Patti was screeching her throat down to hairspray and Tom Verlaine was doing his Cocteau schtick then along came the Bs with the cover of the century--a goddam Pet Clark song--and it's all about the yous in the audience and not only can they sing--HARMONIES and shit--but it's real up AND YOU CAN NOT DANCE TO IT. When they fist played at Max's it was pretty funny, All these super cool people looking sideways at each other saying with their eyes, Is it OK to like this? I mean, shall we dance? The B-52s taught arty New Yorkers how to dance--that it was OK to dance. It took them approximately 28 minutes to take control of the city. And Ricky's still my favorite rock and roll guitar player. Ever. And he'll always be mine. - --Mark Also, btw apparently the masters of The Method Actors have been lost--the CD is all mastered from vinyl. p.s. Here are some new monikers I'm considering for the list: Colonel Dildo Zip Pantless Lawnjockey Abercrombietorso mws456 mmarsta Of course, I'm only kidding. Cheers.

Dan Sallitt and Dan Vallor... one of you is going to have to change your name... it's just too confusing. Who's the True Dan? I'm pretty sure there are also a plethora of Michael's or Matthew's or something, and maybe a Steve or two too many. And then there's the multiple people who post under the "Sarge" persona... Everyone needs to have a completely unique name by Tax Day or you're not getting your absinthe shipments.

Reyes, CA. I don't really have much to add to that, but there it is. I can't say it's added any insight into the song--if this is the right Inverness at all--but I have learned it makes a great lullaby to a child who can't understand a word you say. I also live on Van Ness Avenue, which makes me wonder, who's been to the most locations mentioned in Scott songs? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2010 23:53:53 -0500 From: Tom Galczynski Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Inverness I find Inverness and that whole area around Pt Reyes just spectacular. Enjoy! Someone asked about it in an Ask Scott question a while back and here is what he said: "Inverness" is a real place in Scotland and there's also a city of that name not too far from where I live, which is the San Francisco Bay Area. The song is supposed to convey a longing connection to a place where a soured relationship occurred, but it's a complete fabrication—I don't know anything about those places. I can't tell you why it seemed to mysteriously capture something for me. Songwriting at its core is completely unconscious; it's not like I crafted the idea for that chorus, it was just one minute not there in my head, then the next minute it was.

I think the name was chosen for euphony's sake rather than any actual personal connection. I've been on Van Ness Avenue; also 21st & J (in Sacramento), and El Cerrito. And tomorrow I will probably cross Alma Street. - -- Matt + Happy the man who could search out the causes of things.
