This wasn't a basement it was a second floor closet:) I was honored to have Eric come and play at the store. A GD AOL reunion? Maybe if Jerry comes back on Easter.... I'm still trying to get Tom Waits to do an in store.....
damn, it feels so removed over here in the uk, bands like barkmarket AOL trumans water, negatvland, Fudge tunnel, jesus lizard this is the stuff i've grown up loving and tearing my hair out just finding, hidden away in little indies... But no, I can never see my local HMV inviting Eric and cohorts along for a public apperance, yes, i am bitter...
Wow! I saw these guys at the 40 Watt in Athens. Bachmann came out smoking and singing Prince's "When You Were Mine" accompanied only by the stand up bass and a banjo. It was fucking unbelievable.
Same here but he also was swigging on a corona and the song was "new drink for the old drunk". It was a life altering experience. I her goose bumps every time I think about it.
BTW -- Michael Stipe was at the bar with a hoodie trying to avoid being seen. I've seen him at two of Eric's shows. One in Athens, one in the NYC. He's a major fan.
I have nothing special.... but why do you always make it real? I swear you are mind reader!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like they're jamming in a high school drama classroom.

Actually technically he's very ordinary. But they are a great collective.
