(I still swear a lot. Not apologizing...HOLY SHIT! (I still swear a lot. Not apologizing.)<br /><br />The now demolished church containing that Panther Burns gig was on Monroe between Avalon and Willet- right around the block from the (probably then the Well?) Antenna, across from the apartment building behind Murphy's. <br /><br />I recall you using the scary setting you claim rejecting on that heinous synth-effect thingey with great frequency, not to mention outright RELISH. THANK YOU, Alan Hayes! (Perception is a curious thing, and I love that the same event exists differently in different people; so even though this is Your Blog, in My Book, we are Both Right.)<br /><br />And ALVIN, Wearer of the Clogs. Double-you Tee EFFFF?!<br /><br />The band name selection process was multi-phased, seems like there were several ballots in order to create a distilled short list; and mainly authored by me (although I might be misremembering)... a convoluted attempt at encompassing fairness and randomness (which I now recognize as a hallmark of my approach, which was probably informed even at that time by what I thought I knew about Marcel Duchamp and who knows who or what else. Aside from Fantasia happy hour- what a great place! Sunday afternoon bartender Matthew Smith made a lot of "mistakes" that we were happy to drink.) This process resulted in a name that was absolutely no one's first choice! And I am pretty sure that Jones had suggested it, along with many other possibilities.<br />The Memphis State recording was "Oh No". It did come out sounding all Missing Persony- which is not what we sounded like- was it? Was it lyrics by Laura, music by Mark?<br />And I can hear "This Is a Room" right now... I remember having to go out in the hall with Mark's father Larry's scary paintings and sing- was I too shy to be in the room?<br />I clearly need my own blog! We could have dueling blogs. You have a memory for names and events, I have a memory for location and songs... <br />Thank you! I loved it. We are all Such Incredibly Fascinating Individuals.Linda Hecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968676575047483233.post-18452659132921552882009-09-25T14:39:47.013+01:002009-09-25T14:39:47.013+01:00I had wondered about that.I had wondered about that.James Enckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214581678192360980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968676575047483233.post-27926164160109070522009-09-25T14:34:00.618+01:002009-09-25T14:34:00.618+01:00I think the man in the facebag was Jim Dickinson, ...I think the man in the facebag was Jim Dickinson, believe it or not. --MarkUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841697430027052677noreply@blogger.com
