'Dirty Girls'
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.
Just want to flat-out brag that I'm a little hungover today because I was out super late getting drunk with Stephin Merritt, most of the other Magnetic Fields, and much of Devotchka.
So cool! What'd you talk about? The Archies? Tom Lehrer? Obscure synth pop bands of the Eighties? Neil Gaiman? Break your vow of Omerta and tell us!
I remember The Ramones, Fleetwood Mac, 33 1/3 books, whether being in a band with longtime friends is a blessing or curse, why my sister is one of his favorite people, Pale Fire, cognac vs. rye whiskey, The Feelies, Patsy Cline, and various movies that have faded a bit in memory.
In retrospect, that's what I talk about with everyone. He did tell me that's he's been a fan of the songwriter in my current band since they did some shows together back in the early 90s.

How does he know your sister?
Otherwise, excellent topics of discussion.
Her boyfriend is their tour manager. They adore him. I pointed out to her last night that his OCD attention to detail and the comfort of the band is exactly what makes him a good match for her.

Mark Edwards? Not too surprising, when I think about it.
I've known Claudia since forever, but not the rest of them. Did you get to meet her baby?
Nope, the baby is back home for this part of the tour.
Did Mark ever send you a CD, Jon?
Nope. I did play a couple of songs on the radio directly off of Bandcamp's streaming.
Thanks, man! I'll send you one myself.
