Here's the deal.
I'm shooting a commercial in Nac. tommorow, so I can check my mail (I
own no Austin computer).
I'll be in Austin for SXSW.
I'd like to go to the parties, etc.
But I don't have a clue where they are. I'd like to meet all you guys
(again, probably).
Someone help me out.
--Matt
ong that's not about Jimmy or his ampha!)
So has Jeff T., Max, Jimmy, Kev., etc.
These are the people to watch.
UT is a funny thing.
Certain gourds and beebles remember hearing that there was a band from
Missouri that was sorta like The Picket Line Coyotes.
--Matt Cook (still a little tanked)
and The Gourds they heard mostly pop and
folk (like most of us).
The Beatles are, of course, huge.
'Bout the exact same influences as The Gourds, but without the
occasional gangsta rap and honky tonk (both from Kev., mostly).

P.S.-Sorry if I pissed you off. I pissed myself off when I reread my
post, it does sound a little like I was putting the girls down a bit.

good sir. Matt Cook. You have captured Beatlemania
(lightning in a bottle!!) and thrown it back at another generation in a
brilliant stunt and stuffed history back in its black whole.
The Beatles were a great band. Their fans don't really enter into that
fact in my mind.

This always happens.
That's happenin' opposite The Gourds, GBV, and T. Waits (or Iggy Pop)
outdoor showcase deal.
I'd love to see my homeys in The Bottle Rockets play at the Lunch, but
The Gourds playing a much bigger show means me and my camera.

Yeah, but The Gourds, Guided By Voices, and Iggy Pop vs. Sparklehorse or

Hello folks. Here are my tour dates for February and March. Some I'm
doing solo and some with the daring and unflappable human Texan known
as "RCHE" bangin' on the drums. PLEASE call the club before you go
there to find out when m
March 4th in Austin.
The 9th for the less fortune rest of the world.

Yeah, Rche was probably telling the truth (he is apt to pull a fast one
, however).
I do exist. Many on this list can attest to that.

I wouldn't call that East Texas, though. You gotta go a little further

I shot tons of that show.
And I was so high/drunk that I was stuck sitting on that tiny stage
about an inch from Claude the whole second set.
And I met many P1 and 2ers that night.

P.S.-Speaking of hype, what is up with Bare Jr.? Talk about some bad
songs (at least what I heard live).
song Mint says is a hit (oh brother), and another boring
rant.
You and Gaines seem to love their stuff.
But I'm not quite sure who's crack is bigger on this one (Gaines has one
of the biggest, and best).
--Matt Cook
P.S.-Their bass player has a perm.

I think you got that wrong.
I'll see him today, and I'll ask him. There is one between The Gourds
and Picket Line Cyotees, but to my knowledge has never been pressed.
But Boscoe owns it, not Kev.
Steve Earle had interest in it this time last year.
