"Everyday morbid fascination with 'The Dark Side' of human activity has reached a state in popular entertainment where it has practically no relevance whatsoever. The gamut loitered about by the school-bus full of unpleasant snots who cynically revel in 'showing' their mis-guided audiences every stripe of perversion or cruelty in the name of 'art' runs from laughable to mean-spirited on a good day. I guess you can't argue with what sells. Unless you're really good, like David P. Smith."
"Instead of sadism and humiliation as audience-complicit devices in the discussion of sadism and humiliation, he gives us compassion. Instead of sulkiness and pessimism, he gives us humour. Instead of rote emulation of style, we have in his work the re-organization of classic recognizable shapes toward an unfamiliar construct. I suspect that somewhere amidst the wheeze of the tubercular accordian and the clatter of the life-support machine rhythms, David P. Smith harbours an instinctive conviction that we respond so profoundly to the corrupt because our capacity for purity is equally profound. You may not make it, but you have to try. Otherwise, what are we doing here? And isn't this, in fact, the most common thread uniting country, hillbilly, blues, or devotional musics, for example? The resignation to, and the quest for joy in Struggle?"
You get to play the fort again!? Lucky. Are you playing that AIDS benefit at Logan's on December 6? The AIDS Vancouver Island website has Michael P. Smith on the bill. You got a brother?
Yes I know, I am a star! and you are a Black Hole! HAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!Merry Sagittarius, my Darling Friend. a shot of tequila luv Bon
Thanks for the great show last weekend- too bad they closed the bar at 12:30...you should have come to karaoke afterwards... Also: more Euphonium = excellent.
You're blue album (scuse my memory, it really is fantastic, just a wee bit short), has been getting me through one of the most trying and traumatic times of my life - Studying life insurance. (please kindly note I am not a shallow stuffed suit out to screw people,but more of an executive hippie).
So THANK YOU!!!!!!! If your music can get me thru this, it can get me thru anything life throws at me.
I really should make Holy Pies the new theme song for Radio Bandcouver. So contrary to what the poor, tortured masses are subjected to.You should send you music off to paradiseradio.com in the States. Theyre very eclectic with their music. You should fit in there somewhere between Tom Waits, Pink Floyd, Hank Williams and Modest Mouse. Cheers, Markus
ow! knuckle sandwich!
thanks so much for being a part of the tom waits show. it was a huge help to the cafe. we figger it'll be an annual thing... in a bigger venue. thanks again.
