Oooooooooooooooooooh, very exciting!

It’s like Christmas in December!

Here’s some trivia. The daughter of a woman my mother worked with in the eighties managed Echo & The Bunnymen as well as another Liverpudlian band, Teardrop Explodes I think. Apparently, the Bunnymen were cool and easy to work with but the other band wasn’t. The last thing I remember buying of E&B is Ocean Rain which I thought was their best. That was a long time ago though so maybe I hated it. No, I’m sure I liked it. If anyone likes the Bunnymen, they should listed to large quantities of Nick Drake. Not just the stuff you hear in movies, but the less known tracks like “Man in a Shed” from his first recording, Five Leaves Left. It’s wonderful.

OOO the ltj cover is from the grease soundtrack they did! that pleases the punk rock kid in me! i really loved that cd.

I was very much into The Doors so that’s probably what I liked about the Bunnies. You could definitely hear they were Doors influenced even without an organist. Talk about being influenced by The Doors, The Stranglers, a band of desperate Doors wannabes. No More Heroes practically stole the intro to Light My Fire. Still, it’s a great song anyway, so good for them. I was in several bands desperately trying to be Gong, a band I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t like. Bunch of acid head hippies from the sixties. Though they did chant Hare Krishna. So they’re bona fide, prabhu.
Nick Drake Tape, got to appreciate someone singing about how they loved listening to Mr. Drake, or at least loved a girl who loved listening Nick Drake. That last sentence hurt my head. Must sleep now.

grateful dead doing mama tried? wow i’m not sure if i love that or fear it or what… but it definitely affects me strongly.

oh and the cd is amazing. even the kids dig it. best quote you’re likely to get about the cd, from Viri: “Look papa! Dragon dance!”

Hey Eric! We got our cd’s today. Fantastic! And very impressive packaging. Wow, don’t all our cards seem really lame now?

This is Bowie down to Bowie…

I was instantly gratified by the arrival of this package today. Thanks, and look for some fun in your mailbox soon.

Eric,
Your gift in the mail made me sooooo happy. I love it right down to the small print.
Thank you so much! I am inspired to make a mixed cd of my own to send out if I can get my dinosaur of a mac to cooperate. Check your mailbox from now until who knows when!

You are the haribol of my king judo!

I don’t remember double or triple mail days. I’ve never been as avid a mailer as you. I *do* remember you doing some anarchy thing with the stamps though :)
