Amoeba Music in San Francisco. They were doing an in-store performance that I was fully unaware of before they started playing. Mike Park from Asian Man Records was there, and I said "hey, are you Mike Park from Asian Man Records" and he was like "yup"

I saw them live unexpectedly in 2004 and it ruled

There are definitely a whole lot of Maine accents. The one I know from growing up in Aroostook is a different beast from what exists down south.

I've literally never heard an outsider come anywhere remotely close. And there's no *actual* media representation of a Maine accent, so people straight up don't even know what it is

You were correct to crash into me. These things happen.

Oh shit, we've been seen.

I'd also take a copy of your Handful of Fog rip, which I assume is better than mine

Additional Handful of Fog commentary: probably because of the lineup change, Jay has to fill a lot more space with the guitar, and his solution to this is like... angular blues? Like, a lot of fairly common blues tropes, but with note choices that punch you in the face.

I love how even the physical record looks and feels like you're not supposed to own it

I have a rip I made from the cassette, which sounds pretty crummy. If memory serves, I feel like they DID have it on Bandcamp, but like, not downloadable?
Is "such a good singer only need one note" completely lost these days?

A spectacular record that you just can't listen to unless you've got it on an old spinning hard drive somewhere. (Which reminds me that I need to send Kate the mp3s from the Mae Shi's I and II to replace her lost CDs.)

It's historically normal for the output of a defunct local band to be inaccessible, but in the current era, it's disorienting to hit those walls, especially when it's something so remarkable. And then I realize that probably everyone who loves music has something like this (3/4)

And then their haunting third album Handful of Fog (featuring the song "this band is a secret") is predictably also teetering on the edge of the ether, in terms of its ability to be shared or discovered. Again, it's on YouTube in a 36 minute chunk, but I think that's it (2/4)

A Portland Maine band called Metal Feathers made a record in around 2010. An indie/garage type of thing that is, in my mind, the form perfectly executed. There are a few janky ways to listen to it on the internet (SoundCloud, YouTube) but it could vanish so easily (1/4)

Knowing you, it's probably not even technically skin. It's mostly skin, and there's no danger, but it doesn't satisfy the full check list of skin criteria from a scientific standpoint. "Too soft," the scientists would say

I definitely see the argument for that perspective, and occasionally hold it myself. It may be one of those cases where the one I prefer and the one I understand to be best are not in alignment. These days I lean towards XO

XO in the top 2 shouldn't be controversial to anybody with any sense. People are somehow still sleeping on Figure 8 though, it's true.
