hey sinisters caleb ben here. last night i went and saw lambchop at the 400 bar here in minneapolis. what a heck of a show! and i even got to meet kurt wagner, the main man leading the 'chop. nice guy. we sat together at the bar before the show and had our beers. he's a quiet man and i was nervous, but i finally introduced myself with a "hi would you be so kind as to sign this for me?" as i held out the tour cd i had just purchased. he smiled. i didnt really know what else to say so i just said "your music is very very special. thanks so much" he thanked me for coming and for the compliment. the show was fantastic! soft, understated. exactly as i thought it would be. i made a bit of a blunder though, accidentally. i stood right in front of the stage, like literally 2 feet from kurt and from tony crow, the piano player. when they started to play "new cobweb summer" i took out my cell phone and called my girl ulla to share this beautiful song with her. she was asleep in her bed in estonia at the time. well, anyway.....she answers and i say "hey baby, here's lambchop for you" and then it occurs that everyone in the front (including the band) were kinda glaring at me. lambchop is a very quiet band. someone sort of pushed me in the back, and the piano player was shaking his head at me and mumbling something. i remained staunch though, holding it up for ulla to hear the whole song. it was worth it. i wanted to share that beautiful music, that incredible intimacy with the girl i love. all of you in europe MUST go see them if you can. they will be there soon! if you havent already listened to lambchop you must! "is a woman" is their latest and it's so so so crushingly gorgeous. obligatory b&s content: who all is going to the chicago show?, as i would love to meet up a bit beforehand and say hi to you all. take care......caleb ben aka raw ===== "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." ~Plato "Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
