Good Evening/Morning, I thought it might be fun if I was the first person to report on the Athens show. Seeing how I wasn't there and in fact miles away. But, alas, Reid beat me to it,(and now someone else)with possibly the longest post in history. Great story though. I almost felt as if I was there myself. Anyway, a certain someone sent me an email early yesterday morning....
My dear Carrick,
I'm at my friend Natalies' and we just returned from the Belle and Sebastian show in Athens. Very cathartic music, definitely getting the cd. So, I did end up going, the show didn't even start until 11:00, so I got to go to my meeting and go to the show. We looked for your friend, but didn't end up meeting. There was a big crowd there.....
My friend went to the show on my recommendation. Yet another convert. I have to go look up "cathartic" now... Wait that could be taken a couple different ways. But lets keep this on the up and up and say that she meant this... "a purifying or cleansing of the emotions...the relief of tension and anxiety by bringing repressed feelings and fears to consciousness" or I guess you could just say that she found it to be a mental laxative. On more of a Sinister topic....while in Boston, I was looking at my friends newly aquired Blueboy CD and noticed in the Thank Yous, an <Oon>. Could this be our very own Oon from the Far East? Quite a swank bunch we got here. A long time ago Keith said.... Carrick, your Roger Daltrey hair goes down very well with me, and I expect Mr.Miller too, being great WHO fans as we said for several months on end boring everyone to tears. Is your hair the 70's incarnation of Roger Daltrey? After a taking a close look at some of Roger Daltrey's solo albums, particurly the one where he has morphed the lower part of his body into that of a horse (some mythological creature that I'm to lazy to remember), I've come to realize that I've misled you all with my claims of having Roger Daltrey's hair. I'm afraind it's closer to to Chris Hillman's hair circa the third Flying Burittos Brothers album. And I'm also afraid to report that I had a good chunk of it cut off today. Oh well, It'll grow back. I certainly hope it does. I'm getting old. (Teachers liking the Smiths?) Thinking of Chris Hillman...leads me to Gene Clark, with a wonderful new double CD out, which reminds me of the Field Mice double CD that I bought the same day, which upon closer inspection I realized that the Field Mice were in existence the exact four years that I spent in high school. That somehow makes it all that much more special. Its time for dreams....
