'Sleeper'
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.
Who was it wanted The Waterboys version of Yeats' "The Stolen Child"? I think it was Kate.
I couldn't find my copy of Fisherman's Blues, but I was able to track down a lovely live version that I'm posting to Buffistarawk.
"Come away...human child...to the water."
"For the world's more full of weeping / than you can understand."

Me! Thanks! Weird, I had Fisherman's Blues but for some reason that's not ringing any bells. Maybe when I hear it.
I might like this live version better. It reminds me of Van Morrison during his Veedon Fleece period.
Super dreamy and drifty.
My first guest-blog post over at Powell's Books. I'm there all week! Try the veal and be sure to tip your waitress.

Golf claps for Corwood!
Thanks, y'all! My wife didn't think it was funny, but, then again, she's neither read Wise Blood nor listened to The Fall. Science-oriented girl, that one.
Feelies article in the NYT. Nice photo.
no tour dates planned beyond Independence Day, though that is likely to change.
