Judging from the Jandek list, lotsa people (including us) got the shaft. I was thinking about some more "Jandeklike" images (ok no beard on Bowie.... dang) in "The Man Who Fell to Earth" (Which just got a new sparkling Criterion DVD which I cant wait to check out sometime!)

no soul. Karma will strike those who scalp @ such a rate. The only problem is, we wont be around to see it. _______________________________

Wait a minute - did you two not get tickets? Are you serious? That is really unfair. How were the ticket sales administered?

I got online at 5:00, refreshed until 5:15, when they went on sale, and by the time I plugged in all the info, the show was sold out.

That's OK. The Grays @ North Shore Spirit is like the Jandek of independent league baseball.

That really sucks ass. I feel for you! (Chaka Khan implications notwithstanding)

frame609:: Did you see on the 'dek list that Merzbow is playing the very same night in NYC @ the Knitting Factory? That might also be doable... you'd never have to do anything ever again to prove yr sonic bravery (some might say stupidity or insanity, but its all good...) _______________________________

'Glasgow Sunday' and 'Raining Down Diamonds' arrived today. Our boy was really chatty in his note: 'Glasgow sunday DVD forthcoming No real impetus, just response New Orleans should be interesting' No mention of me once again asking him to play Boston. Ah well. 'RDD' is bass and vocals- bass is way low in the mix.

In case frame609 is checking this on the road and cant get e-mail, Per the Jandek mailing list, New Orleans show has been cancelled. (I heard on NPR this am that 2 of the levees have broken and the flooding is getting worse...) yikes. Hope yr steering clear of this, mr. 609... _______________________________

I got back to Boston last night. I was supposed to stay with my friend Emily- she just called to let me know that she's safe at her folks' place in Arkansas. A bunch of my friends in the Lake Effect (including Shelly) have freiends and family down there in the gulf- it's a tough time for everyone.
