Nice! Let us know how it is. Love that album.  

Saw Billy Bragg the other night and he played three Mermaid songs:  Way Over Yonder in a Minor Key, I Was Born, and Birds and Ships.  I put this one just now and realized that when I imported it to my computer years ago, I Was Born didn't come over.

How was it?  I saw Helium (with Mary) at Peter Buck's bar in Seattle 23-24 years ago.  

So good. She's such a great guitarist.

At times funny. At other times bittersweet and even sad. A very well done movie. 

 

Agree.  Really enjoyed this one.

Last night: Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert.

Really enjoyed it - partly because about halfway through a friend of a friend (who had some connection to the venue) found me a brought me to a seat in the very front row, right in front of Chan.  

Saw the Zone of Interest yesterday and I am still sorting it out.

Such a gem. I wish this were the Mermaid tune that was the staple of the live set rather than "California Stars."

Agree. And partly why it was so startling to hear while I shopped.  

Secret of the Sea in my local Trader Joe's yesterday 

I am not a gamer but I really enjoyed this book.
