Stephin Merritt performs "The Night You Can't Remember"

Stephin Merritt and Daniel Handler perform "The Night You Can't Remember" from 69 Love Songs at the "People Talking & Singing" 826 Seattle Benefit on Sept 1st, 2006. Shoddy video (it was taken with a digital camera) but the audio isn't bad. http://www.826seattle.org , http://www.bookeaters.org/ , http://www.bumbershoot.org/826/ , http://www.houseoftomorrow.com/

Any Smoosh footage to upload?

Sorry, no. I was limited to 16 minutes of recording time, so I was picking my moments...the Stephin Merritt performance was a priority. Someone else uploaded "Dracula's Daughter" though.

Either Morrissey's voice hits you or it doesn't. I personally love it. He's my God (alongside Stephin of course... and Tom Waits, Steven Fry, PJ Harvey and Brian Eno)

and this song is but one of hundreds of great compositions by Mr. Merritt..

thanks for posting!!

I absolutely ADORE this song! If I have to choose just one favourite from 69 Love Songs, this is the one. I mean, take a look at the rhyming - it doesn't get more clever than this. And of course the melody is lovely as well. Genius!

no kidding

Is this crowd on nitrous oxide or something?

[Denton91]

dude.... this is so awesome! I love this song

[StephinMerritt]

Real nice.

This song is not part of the Lemony Snicket songs. It is from his own album, 69 Love Songs.

-.-; I know. I love him.

Lol, he's not really his editor. He's the author. He writes under the pen name Lemony Snicket.

[vbabe1]

is that a compliment or an insult?

I'd have to say he is and is not lemony.

He's his editor! XD
