Pinefox in NYC

Good to see Tracer bringing his fancy new British ways back with him.

How about Eden?

Ice skating (uptown) sounds very nice too.

P. Nelson Rogers reveals himself.

I have Tuesday and Wednesday days free, too, for day time excursions, possibly.

There is interest in a Tuesday evening/night FAP.

In any case, I'll see you up there. The ding to your dong.

Thanks for listening and saying hello, Curmudgeon!

Mike was at Artisphere but he's five or six players away from making a real challenge. In many ways he's 30 points off the pace.

Horseshoe, are you leaving NYC? A pity as I will be back tomorrow.

Brooklyn botanics on Saturday sounds OK idea to me, can we muster a team to do that?

Rosemary, let's meet on Tuesday afternoon then - at 3 maybe?

I saw a Yeungling last night at Artisphere!

I have to work Tuesday, there are buyers coming that day.

Are you free Wednesday after your lunch?

I heard the Pines on the radio this evening.

I was there with the kids for The Pines on Friday (took them home around 9) and without the kids for the duration on Saturday. Not sure if I'll have any babysitting cover for the NJ and NYC BT/Pines shows so may not see those. But that's OK, Fri/Sat were great and that's as much live music as I expected to see on this trip. Anything else is a bonus, Brian.

I think a certain LP might be avail for child-minding? Not to speak for her but I don't think she's going to shows.

somebody email me w/ name of Pinefox's band

The Pines!

Rosemary, yes I should have said Wednesday. Though I think I need to be at the Bk venue by about 6:30 to soundcheck.

Where do you want to meet tomorrow?

I guess Manhattan!

Ha ha.

I can come to wherever you will be.

Rosemary, this is where I will be from 1:30 lunch tomorrow:

--- Otto on 8th Street between 5th Ave. and University Place.

I think I might need till 3. Meet you at a subway stop near there at 3?

I have a cell phone though I don't think I know its number, did you send me yours?

I emailed you mine.

I can meet you on the corner of 8th St and 5th Ave at 3.

I'm looking forward to Thursday. I'm sure the Chickfactor shows have been fabulous so far!

I signed up for an event Saturday afternoon. Maybe I could skip it, but I would feel guilty.

Is anyone interested in going to this?

I'm interested in Coasting, and just finding out about Chain and the Gang. I have this feeling the Pinefox would not approve of these bands.

The shows have indeed been good so far. Tonight in Brooklyn contained so many people I knew, it was like walking into a surprise party.

actually I think a highlight tonight for me was telling Linton about my admiration for The Aislers Set. my opinion seemed to be slightly more appreciated than I might have imagined.

last night from ilx btw: Nabisco, Laurel, Tim Hopkins, Steady Mike

SO AWESOME YOU GUYS

I am the happiest Laurel! Can't you all come play shows like at least every other month or so, so we can do this again?

I would like that. It would definitely improve my quality of life.

Man, such a pity to be missing all this. Also I am all 'hey wait a minute' at this Pam B*rry revelation above. This is because I can't keep things straight in my brain half the time.

I feel confident that Mr Raggett would have enjoyed Lorelei's DC set. Second song: an LP-faithful version of Pale Saints' 'sight of you'.

Hahah very nice. Yes, that would have been grand to see!

The Pines should be on at about 8:30 at Bell House tonight. Followed immediately by The Softies.

Either I'm unaccustomed to going out on weeknights or that went really late. Great to see everyone!

i'm sorry i couldn't make it last night to the show, i was still recovering from pulp revelry on top of being sick already! but if you are still in town and at a loss for things to do tonight you should come to my party :) bring pam!!! haha

The Pines were so lovely, lovely. pf, you are a shockingly good guitar player!

I mean obviously this is not a surprise to you or probably anyone else, but I didn't realize!

that's nothing - you should hear him play piano

okay it's not nothing

!!! :D

That is so nice of you to say, Laurel.

(If you have ever heard any of my records, I did most of the guitar playing on those, except the parts I outsourced to Vietnamese teenagers for cheap labour, so they pretty much show what kind of a guitar player I am.)

Mary, I think that did go on late. Loved your private eye's trenchcoat.

Would love to see you, Bene, but I am at a gig in Gowanus from about 9:30. Hoping to meet Mary and Robyn before that. In fact Robyn and I are planning to go to Central Park!

ps Laurel, in case you have any interest, guitars:

my party is in gowanus/carroll gardens in case you want to stop by after! there will be deviled eggs!

where's the gig in Gowanus, pfox?

Rock Shop

I've listened to your tracks before, pf, but in retrospect I would have assumed it was more than one person playing, or more than one track combined, or something. In person, I was actually paying attention.

Last night was really really fun - it felt like a reunion of sorts but way better than like a high school reunion or whatevs. So good to meet people I hadn't met before after all these years, and see people again, and feel transported back to my indie-twee years via musics. aw :)

oh hey the therese track is the old Bodines song. i used to have the single.

pf and I walked around central park in the sunshine and took pictures of each other taking pictures and sang the songs of stephin merritt among others. he has an astounding memory for lyrics. I mostly just remember feelings and notes.

The afternoon felt quite nice, funny, relaxing, in the key of A I would say.

a sunny day in Brooklyn

Have you run into any of the Jonathans yet?

Youn, did you make it to the show Thursday? I didn't see you.

Got to hear a lot of Pinefox's "American" accent last night. Do we really sound so dumb?

Tape yourself and listen. I did that recently and didn't like what I heard. Also I was asking somebody about their German accent the other day and they put on a comedy American accent and asked if that was preferable.

I don't think we've met before and I don't post my photos. How would you recognize me?

No, I had been sick the day before and could not bear the thought of returning home after midnight. (The thought, the reality could have been more than bearable.)

If Anita O'Day and The Rest and the song about the gymnast were played then everything was in its place and all was right with the world, at that moment.

You did not outsource for their talent? Maybe they are actually talented. Maybe they possess the talents of the grand minstrel singers and troubadours and saints and could speak in tongues and play with a bow and pluck with their fingers and whisper in your ear.

Ha, I don't like listening to myself but I thought it was due to my voice, not my accent.

Youn, we have indeed met in Washington, d.c. Perhaps at that time I was posting under my given name (Mary).

Haven't been reading thread carefully, is there an event for tonight?

No event for tonight as such, but PF graciously hung out with a bunch of my colleagues. James Redd, when do I get to meet you? I'm at Momi most movie nights.

and sang the songs of stephin merritt among others. he has an astounding memory for lyrics.

OK, obv I should have made extra effort to meet the pinefox again

Doc, that would have been good. In this Central Park instance a particular emphasis was placed on 'Washington, D.C.'. I also heard the new LP for the first time on Friday in Spoonbill books in Williamsburg. Mary was telling me last night about your enduring movie enthusiasm and Carmen Miranda plans.

James R, haven't had those encounters this time but did find a wall graffitied with Green Lantern, and was in a NON-hipster cafe on 4th Ave Brooklyn where 'Life During Wartime' came on.

Mary thinks I think all Americans are jocks. I was really just talking about the way certain people might talk about BLACK TAMBOURINE, MAN, and how SMALL FACTORY JUST LIKE BROUGHT IT. I did one illustrative line of Don Draper yesterday and was touched that two Queens residents actually thought it sounded like him. But mostly I have been relying Michael Caine, though one of Mary's librarian colleagues high above Long Island City was keen to be reminded of David Brent.

Another sunny day in Brooklyn. I am impressed to have had breakfast and everything having not gone to bed till 5am.

haaaa! very sorry to have missed you, pinefox!
