the hummmmmmm is coming from herrrrrrrr

today I had a memory of awkward moments. oh yes, I've had a few in my days.

today it was of an animated conversation over I can't remember what at some show (I can't remember who) at the double door when I learned the person I was speaking to was david baker, of mercury rev's early days. I had managed to put my foot firmly into my mouth by pointing out that I liked but couldn't remember any details of the early mercury rev stuff but found the just released see you on the other side totally amazing.

mr. baker proceeded to describe his relationship to all of that by saying "I used to be the singer in that band until I got kicked out before they recorded that album"

it was, well, weird.

luckily I did enjoy their early stuff too...

all of this pops up because mercury rev is playing at the all tomorrow's parties in two weeks!
