Tenenbaum

here's my account as a video store clerk at the time:

that morning I was trying to sleep-in after yesterday's 13hr shift but the phone kept ringing and I refused to pick it up.

once I awoke I checked my e-mail and the only one from my friend read, "see you in the trenches, next year in Jerusalem";

still clueless, I turn on the tv and the first image I see is a recap of the 2nd plane hitting in slow-mo... my jaw dropped.

went back to work for the evening shift at Queen Video, and the shop was dead empty the entire night; why watch a movie when you can see the real thing on tv? My co-worker and I just philosophized about the event all night while we listened to the Twin Peaks soundtrack.

anyway, that following Saturday was the BUSIEST I've ever seen at the video shop. Everyone was renting comedies, it was a surreal yet logical response to the lugubrious week left behind.

"They Still Call Me Bruce"

most memorable:

saw them in Hamilton (possibly 2003) and my buddy pushes me onto the stage so Martin can teach me this weird dance where your knees and thumbs swirl in opposite circle directions... it was too screwy for me to handle but I think I managed it.

"don't say goodnight"

man, I'm gonna have to figure out a way to check this one out.

And yes, we're all going to hell in a handbasket.

at least I'm enjoying the ride

I don't know what's funnier: this CNN anchorwoman's microphone "on" while she tinkles during GW Bush's speech, or Bush explaining how "extensive" levies are?

3 bucks on a hun!

LOL!

that commercial drove me crazy!

"and it's open laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate"

"and the best thing about Money Mart is that it's open late!"

former or latter,

IT DOESN"T MATTER

cool!

jokes!

just propose to her and get the best of both worlds!

nice! I'd love to hear Mike's take on the Other One!!

and respect to the Comes a Time encore!

for someone who's visiting Alaska, you're sure spending a lot of time on the net

then again, the town of Sitka is quite small

"you made a woman meow?" x2

just got III reissued; still listen to them after all these years!

nuke 'em!

sometimes Allmusicguide takes too long to load pages and browse;

sp I'll use google images; you can choose how big of a file you want to represent your albums.

i actually caught a silver salmon this morning; there's nothing like fresh Alaskan mercury-free salmon! NOTHING!

oh ya, that was a brief moment.

have a blast in AK!

how long will you be in Sitka for? I might be there for a night August 20/21.

have we hooked up before?

hope it's not too cloudy over there; i was there once and it was clear skies... oh my!

give me a shout if you find your way into Anchorage

Zilla's performing here on Thursday

Dr Octagon will own this festival so you better recognise!

my older yuppy bro's in Chicago for business; last night he sends me a text message, "do you like Violent Femmes?"

right then I was overcome with jealousy and knew he was at Lola with his business colleagues partying up a Friday night.

i then checked the schedule and replied, "if you don't catch Ween at 8:30, I'll never speak to you again!"

oh shit, Kool Keith's touring!!?? where's PJs?
