Not the best, but you may be interested. I can also give you the photographer's e-mail address seeing as I didn't get her phone number. :-(<BR/><BR/>I saw you play in St. Louis (vocal chord issues dually noted) right before I moved to Denver (sobriety dually noted), and I must say that I thought the St. Louis concert was kick-ass. <BR/><BR/>Will also be seeing you, Amanda, solo in Chicago in August! So excited.<BR/>-sara<BR/>farmermizzou@gmail.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940328579233329145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-69882863205504205392008-05-09T15:33:00.000-04:002008-05-09T15:33:00.000-04:00I love you EE!I am making a collage of you :)Whe i...I love you EE!<BR/>I am making a collage of you :)<BR/>Whe int is ready I will send it.<BR/>Lots of love and candy x 2thegirlwhowasacathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323950767813564245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-76360328991947635352008-04-15T09:17:00.000-04:002008-04-15T09:17:00.000-04:00I WONDER IF THEY WILL EVER SING "TWO HEADED BOY"I WONDER IF THEY WILL EVER SING "TWO HEADED BOY"Samuel Sebastian Holden Bramahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05327398377813162500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-15733242676134340352008-04-15T00:59:00.000-04:002008-04-15T00:59:00.000-04:00this offends me as a saimese twinthis offends me as a saimese twinDiePalindromeDiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654012723277500592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-43734623568724771542008-04-09T04:04:00.000-04:002008-04-09T04:04:00.000-04:00Have the twins seen A Zed & Two Noughts (Peter Gre...Have the twins seen A Zed & Two Noughts (Peter Greenaway film)?

I figure that it's always nice to get compliments, and although I don't myself aspire to greatness, I'm a good judge. It's the kind of thing that I think about when I'm driving and something comes on the radio and I think, fuck me, that's great, I wonder if anyone has actually said to so and so that recently. It's not just music either, sometimes it's a book, something someone has done that has put them into the news, all sorts of things.<BR/><BR/>Of course I never actually do it, because to do so would seem bizarrely stalkerly obsessive. And of course I'm English and I hate the idea of that awkward moment of silence that comes about 3 seconds after making an unsolicited compliment to someone you don't know.<BR/><BR/>Until now. Until this precise moment when I was finally moved to make you the first entry in my own personal hall of fame of greatness.<BR/><BR/>I came up through the French school of variete songs, rather than the Weill/Brecht/Minnelli/Bowie route. So my heroes include people like Jacques Brel, who combined the most unbelievable lyrical ability - it's worth learning French just to experience Brel, really (his translation of "to Dream the Impossible dream" (la quete) turns a rather dumb song into a masterpiece of regret and longing, it's astonishing) - with wonderful music and an extraordinary performance. To find such a unique combination of talents in one person is extraordinary, unbelievable.<BR/><BR/>But I put you completely in the same basket as Brel. It's about as good as you can get - I've been gradually immersing myself in your CDs, and it's funny: I have the same reaction I had initially to Brel, which is that at first it seemed disappointing, then something will hook me in, a turn of phrase, a musical line, and the album gets put on loop for days. It is beyond brilliant.<BR/><BR/>I suppose I now have to figure out whether any more of my heroes have blogs, and if they do whether they look at them. I'm hoping that you do, or will at some point, because I really do want to tell you how great you are (cue for a Cole Porter song here, but he's dead and I doubt he has a blog).<BR/><BR/>So if you do read this, I have one recommendation for you, because he is lesser known than Brel (whom I know you've referenced by singing Amsterdam, but maybe that's from Bowie more than Brel?). Boris Vian was a French writer and musician. He wrote the original and completely blood drenched "I spit on your grave", but also the most heart rending novel of love ever written "L'ecume des jours" which has a dream like but often very funny quality. And he was also a tremendous songwriter and performer in a sort of cabaret (small C) style. Fais-moi mal, Johnny (hurt me, Johnny) would suit you as a song, I'm certain of it, or Je suis snob, or je bois (I drink -one great line: "I drink to excess to forget my wife's friends" (the poetry lost in translation will be refunded at the border on presentation of an officially stamped receipt).<BR/><BR/>You're great, Amanda.

Anyway, the one lovely thing that this bar has is an internet jukebox; granted the only thing this fabulous thing is ever used for is to play "sweet home alabama" (because michigan apparently = alabama), and horrendous country shit, I however, get a perverse enjoyment in sneaking over to this jukebox between getting customers buffalo wings and bud in a can, slipping in a dollar, punching in "THE DRESDEN DOLLS", and watching the confused/angry/panicked reaction of the clientele as one of your beautiful songs begins to drown out garth brooks.
