Jayne ,'The Train Job'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Hec, I saw that piece, and then I was really sad with myself that my first reaction was "he covered Dr Wu?"
David Kamp, who co-wrote the book, was a Spy intern when we were in college (he was a few years ahead of me), and famous for his ability to drop that fact into any conversation within fifteen minutes. Although, really, looking back, it's hard to blame him.
Per dictionary.com: sat·el·lite n.
1. A minor structure accompanying a more important or larger one
The Harvey may be on equal footing with BAM's main building organizationally and artistically but it's separate and smaller so I stand by my description of it as a satellite. No value judgment was intended. Ditto with the rundown description. For those of you who haven't been there it was like describing Don Johnson's Miame Vice look (and all the unfortunate stubbles it inspired) as scruffy. It leaves out the intentional aspect but is accurate as far as it goes. And Propeller's Midsummer Night's Dream was so funny that I didn't notice how uncomfortable the cheap seats were until after it was over. I loved Homebody/Kabul, but four plus hours of those seats wasn't easy.
If anyone has any of the Dr. Wu covers I'd love to hear them. I have the original & can send it to Buffistarock if nobody else wants to admit to being a fan of the Dan.
Good night, all.
On another subject entirely, why doesn't Seattle have a Virgin Mega Store? When I lived that year in the UK, I practically lived at the Reading location.
If it's any consolation, they've really cut the book section down to less than half of what it once was. DVDs are eating up the whole store like a cancer.
Hecubus introduced me to "Horses", iirc. I'm really fond of it. Championship Vinyl customer service, bwah. (of course, I'm kind of the person they dread, apart from never being like "It has that guy? And a blue cover?")
So, if you were going to get a small child a small musical instrument - what would you get?
She's going to be five: I'm thinking recorder. . . maybe a harmonica.

Contrabass sax. But I have a strange sense of humor. And a lot of disposable income. What with being producer of The Simpsons and King of the Hill and all.
Bwahaha!
I don't believe I've ever seen one of those before.
Sumi: glockenspiel. Oh yeah.
Not differently, WROUNG!
What can I say? I'm ignourant.
Also, re: Dr. Wu, I'd probably point out that Walter Becker, who attended the University of Alabama briefly, allegedly failed a class taught by noted logic professor Dr. Katy Wu.
allegedly failed a class taught by noted logic professor Dr. Katy Wu
Was she crazy? Was she high?
Of course if Becker's proofs were anything like his lyrics it's small wonder that he failed.
Yes, yes, and I agree.
