We haven't played over there but we would if the opportunity arose. I wonder where though?
Good question. We have groups a couple of times a week at the local bar (Andy's in Chestertown-that's where I discovered Mercy Creek), but that gets small pretty quickly, and then there's a leap in venue (generally to the Avalon in Easton). For example, apparently the Avett Bros. used to play Andy's, but now there's no way they could play there, I saw them in Easton. But the Avalon is also Nanci Griffith, RIchard Thompson, etc.
Hmmm. Well, Jilli, your goth music special is showing something about Tupac instead of its TiVo listing. I'll see if it comes on after and adjust. Lame, MTV2!
Waaaaah! Noooooo!
(But thank you for checking for me.)
Connie, do you have a link to Vonnie's LoM soundtrack? I'm kind of curious now.
SA, it was back a bit in her LJ....

It's to a sendspace link so I think it may still be valid.
Hey! Check it out, Glenn O'Brien's TV Party - the legendary Manhattan cable access show from the late 70s and early 80s is now on DVD, and priced to move. (Mine was only $11.98.) It's Arty! It's Punk! It's a Party! It's Bunk!
Jon, I think you'd be interested in the ep I linked since it's got Tim Wright of Pere Ubu playing with Walter Steding on electric, drone-o-riffic violin. Plus Lenny Ferrari playing the New Yorker as a drum kit. All with Fripp in the audience.
Cool article, Hec. Thanks!
I was glad to see him mention the song for Maynard's mother. It's quite moving.
Mine was only $11.98
Where? It's $20 at the link you provided.
Random bit of randomness from the WFMU blog:
Unusual Recording Techniques #1: Lou Reed's "The Kids"
While flipping through a five-year-old copy of NME in a WFMU bathroom, I came across an article about "scary music" by Mark Beaumont. He wrote that the little kids who can be heard wailing on Lou Reed's track The Kids (from his 1973 LP Berlin) were the young children of producer Bob Ezrin, who were crying because their Dad had told them that their mother had just been killed in a horrible accident. Their mother was fine - the track needed some crying, so Producer Ezrin produced some. The crying starts at the 5:17 mark: MP3.
A few years later, Ezrin went on to co-produce Pink Floyd's The Wall, on which he utilized another group of children to great effect, the chorus of British children from The Islington Green School who sing the "We Dont Need No Education" chorus on Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2). In 2004, 23 of those kids got together to sue for the session fee they never received. No word on whether Ezrin's own children (now around 40 years old) are planning their own suit.
Crap. I didn't bring my iPod to work today, so I can't check out the Berlin thing until I get home....
