I just told my booking agent that I wanted to "go" to the show when I was in the UK...Beig a fan of Iron and Wine, Sufjan, and Rosie...It was a very tough crowd for me and I don't blame them for thinking I was rubbish...Bad gig...Some are...I have seen many bands or solo acts have them from time to time..The London show was amazing and I did get at least 2 encores...So, who knows...I was just happy to play..I dont play very much these days, but I am thankful for the gigs I have gotten and some of the wonderful people and musicians I have met over the years...I think my musical partner Nick Saloman is a genius...I know we don't quite fit in with the "pretty people" and all those hip and cool trendsters, but I think he's just awesome and I adore his stuff...So, sorry that you had a crap time having to sit through my set while waiting for the headliners...And you're right...But something must have effected you enough to have written a post about it...right....?..So there you go...Oh, and yes, I remember you...There were only the two of you there when we settled...

Her music's auright if ye like that whingey acoustic crap. I saw her at an Americana night Melting Vinyl put on a wee while ago. It had been arranged that a few bands who were touring the UK together (including Sufjan Stevens who is the most glorious human to ever walk the earth, and might even be the second coming) would play. When Mary Lou heard about the gig she muscled in there too at the last minute. She then spent the night getting more and more pissed, shouting at the sound man that the sound was RUBBISH before each song (we all thought this was some act she was putting on until we realised she was just off her fucking head) and then going mental at the promoter for how much she was going to be paid, even though she had agreed to the amount beforehand: "Do you know how much I'm being paid in London, why the fuck should I accept this here???" And five minutes later in typical alcie behaviour (I should know) she got all apologetic and said how much of a great time she had had. I took the opperchancity of handing out flyers at the end of the night to ask some of the punters what their thoughts were about the evening. Everyone said they thought poor Mary Lou was a shocking tragedy and a load of garbage. What the fuck did Kurt Cobain do to the lassie?!? Eric doesn't have a beard. It's an animal sanctuary. The racoon is dying out in Seattle, and Eric has taken it upon himself to do his bit by letting a few of the poor buggers nest in there over the winter. He's not the type to go bragging about his nature work so probably didn't mention it to you. Did you not notice that he was smuggling nuts in there all night long???

That's all. Aside from not being exactly the biggest fan of her music, I have nothing against the lady personally - and indeed can recall Kurt telling me at one point how much he liked her. So the laughter was more at the situations that are arising because of the neccessity of research than over the person. OK?
