I was actually pretty good friends with Barbara (she played the first live show ever at my bar, fresh out of 28th Day) until I started dating Cole Marquis' ex-girlfriend (another pathological Barbara tale). Anyway, I lost my copy of Land of Thirst years ago and have been looking for it for years. So thank you for posting the mp3s! I would gladly pay for the rest if you have them!<BR/><BR/>-TreyTreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279830301588746670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30833711.post-5399221230175491872008-04-21T21:06:00.000-04:002008-04-21T21:06:00.000-04:00Ah I'm sincerely sorry about the mix-up about fat/...Ah I'm sincerely sorry about the mix-up about fat/flat.

I've always disliked that band and yet I've seen them (or at least part of their sets) a relatively high number of times because they've always had great opening acts. I'd watch then opener then stay for YLT, just in case, and would end up leaving after a few songs.Elisabeth Vincentellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327631509314540602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30833711.post-23926880509626491732008-03-21T20:19:00.000-04:002008-03-21T20:19:00.000-04:00I think part of the thrill/horror was in the fact ...I think part of the thrill/horror was in the fact that we knew exactly what was happening. You and some friends and I had interviewed Barbara a couple of hours earlier, and she'd spoken with great candor about the whole sorry situation with Brendan and her band. With this knowledge, WoP's set was totally like an indie-rock version of the Shoot Out The Lights tour - except Linda apparently actually threw stuff at Richard, whereas Barbara just played her bass and seethed. I remember leaving before headliners Yo La Tengo because I didn't see how they could follow.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095502990847762778noreply@blogger.com
