Thanks. It reminds me too my old times. I bought the LP in a small music shop. It takes a lot, asking and asking the clerk for this Michelle album, he never heard about her.
Long time ago.

Thanks Roman – at someone out there has a proper education, unlike the usual motley crew of miscreants and ne’erdowells that I tend to surround myself with.

Servus!

Come on, guys, it’s CATALAN! He just says that your note reminded him of the record he bought 20 years ago and that he recently found that youtube-stuff, a fantastic version of “Yes God is real”, although he didn’t like the religious context (well, I’m just guessing with the last part …) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJq11taAJgY
BTW I really do appreciate your blog and am a regular reader, listener, admirer. Bye & thanks from Austria – although not exactly from Vienna

The turn of the 90s. It’s amazing how long ago that actually is.

Anchorage was a mix tape staple of mine as well back at the turn of the 90s. the first few chords are so evocative now and the lyrics … well said above already. kudos again, Master Toad.

It wasn’t at the Garage was it by any chance, Derek? That was a top gig.

And Ally, well there’s, erm always email, if you fancied showering me with gifts. *Cough*

i don’t stop round here anything like enough, but this,taches and ooooh lots of other stuff mean i will find more time from somewhere.
i’ve got a lovely live version of anchorage which is (if its possible) even more lip trembling.

Mancs ane the same kind of self-loathing scared of a difference tpyes as Glaswegians. On the more interesting point, I saw MS twice, in Glasgow oddly enough, and I’m sure my brother and I were the only men there both times. Nonetheless, excellent gigs. She’s a class act. Get the double album anthology – Ballad of penny Evans woul;d make you weep even more than Steve Goodman’s original.

I had given up on Michelle Shocked after Arkansas Traveler but played Short, Sharp, Shocked and Captain Swing endlessly. Thanks for the memory lane trip.
