I had no idea that This Mortal Coil ever did videos.
Just Liz singing with autumn leaves swirling around, but very moving for all that since she's very expressive as she sings, and it's a demanding "singer's song."
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

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.

Darnelle's something of a Buckner vibe, but more maybe Buckner mixed with Garcia Marquez and minus a whole bunch of minor chords.
I love the 3 or 4 MG albums I do have, and I know I'd love the new one, too. Just no time or $$ for it, yet. But thanks for the hearty recommendation! I'm on it.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
OK, now I can't remember. What album was Crowds from?
Yes. Oh my goodness, yes. You get to keep your Goth Card.
Wait, wait. Why did I lose mine, then?
It's blatant goth-ism, I tell you.

Oh, I would trade you a .zip of the new one for a .zip of your favorite of the earlier ones....

Sounds good! Have you ever heard Zopilote Machine? Do you have gmail (my mp3 trading email of preference)?

You can have the 'oontz oontz' edition Goth Card.

So last night, the Pixies were awesome -- as expected -- but TV on the Radio blew me away. I'm normally wary of NYC hipster bands because they're so often overhyped, but these guys deserve all the praise I have heard about them. Stellar live, anyhow.

Have we discussed the rumor of the Throwing Muses mini-reunion to open for the Pixies here in NY one night next week?

Misha: cool.
LJ: TV on the Radio are pretty damn good on album, too. I especially like the Young Liars EP (which includes an a capella version of Mr. Grieves).

Good lord, if that were true I would hitchhike to NYC and beg for a ticket just to see it. Throwing Muses are my favorite artist I have never seen live. (I keep meaning to see Kristen Hersh, as she does tour, but she's never been here at a good time for me.)
