In San Francisco, sept 2007. the newer clips i found had worse sound so, here it is.
my boys from LA just came through DC (after a stop in Bonnaroo along the way) at the Hard Rock Hotel and i had to catch them. they give everything live and i can't ask for anything else. well, and then the music is good.
hahahaha o damn. but serious, i don't understand how someone who spent their entire life on a ship could understand the rhythms of the city so well. the last piece Tim Roth plays is New York City traffic a la 1928 to perfection.
"The trio created the short film To Kill a Dead Man, which was heavily inspired by espionage films, and its accompanying soundtrack persuaded Go! Beat Records to sign the band."
that would put this at 92 or 3
the music, the premise, the cinematography! these guys are the best. i actually love that she doesn't sing. though, i would have love it if she had too, so.
i thank god for this song. also Beth, Geoff and Adrian. yeah. thanks guys. repeatedly. cuz y'all do it again and again. but this one is all time status.
what a man. even when i disagree with him i have to admire his rhetorical abilities. and generally, he's right, anyhow so... enjoy.
I remember when i first saw him on TV. I must have been 11 or so, laying on the bed with Dan Batey, when i was staying with them in Nacogdoches one summer. I was probably too young to watch it. It was probably a little loose in the tongue for one so young, but i nearly split my sides, and these days i must sound like such an old maid saying anything like "too young." i don't believe it anyhow. I thank Dan for sharing Carlin with me to this day. Now, when i watch the stand up he has left us, i don't laugh nearly as much. It's not because its not funny, it's because sometimes it's almost more of a lecture than a comedy routine. Watching the way this man's mind worked.
He should have been a court jester. He would have run the court and the country through comedy.
okay. i lie. he cracks me. i can't help but laugh at the human idiocy he turns the mirror on. what a public service.
