Isn't it great? I knew you'd love it. Perfect goth cabaret.
It's fabulous. The only problem I have is that, in my head,
Doomsday Serenade
gets re-mixed with Rasputina's
Doomsday Averted.
Now I wanna see a Jill Tracy/Rasputina double-bill. Which, in my perfect world, would happen this Thursday when I go see Rasputina.
We didn't go this time, but I've been to the Saturn Bar before. When I walked in they had Johnny Guitar on the TV and Johnny Cash playing on the jukebox.
Excellent! Hope you had a blast!
Excellent! Hope you had a blast!
Did indeed. Saw these good folks at The Spotted Cat on Frenchman...
Jeremy Lyons and The Deltabilly Boys. Smokin' hot on the national steel with resonator. Also covered "Ring of Fire" for a dandy singalong.
and...
New Orleans Jazz Vipers - if you like the mix of gypsy django jazz and early jazz in Triplets of Belleville you'd probably like this group. Not your usual moldy Dixieland by any means.
Also, while I was there I met a guy at a used clothing store (he spotted my Amoeba bag) who was a ukelele player and an expert on Cliff Edwards (aka, the voice of Jiminy Cricket and one of the biggest acts in Vaudeville's heydey). We had a cool discussion about 20s jazz and crooners and suchlike.
Doh! I totally forgot to give the CDs to Anne, even though I saw her a bunch this weekend.
Ah well. Excuse to go check out this embroidery store she keeps talking about near her, maybe?
The latest "issue" of Radio 3 has a live session with The Decemberists. (And Hayden in session.)
Warning: Site is Flash heavy.
Hey, Gandalfe:
I have that random mix CD of Hayden's all ready to send back to you, but....I can't make out the return address on the envelope. Can you e-mail my profile addy with your address?
Should I send the original back to Gandalfe, then? Instead of forward to DX, since it's not part of the Buffista Mix Chain O' Love?
Steph, I already have a copy of the mix, thanks to Hayden. Also, that's where I got "Pete Rose Affinity" for my mix.
Good thing, DX, since I only gave you the one CD at the F2F! (Please tell me you still have it....)
