@ As warm as the night...



On days like this (in Cincinnati anyway) where it's raining and cooling 
down and the black turns into grey and remains as day; Patience's 
"Lullaby" is perfect to listen to repeatedly.  Turn it up loud enough so 
the bass tom feels like it's part of you.  "It's one of my most favorite 
OtR tunes", I think, on days like this.  But then in the sun I'm just as 
eager to dismiss it.  When's the sun due back?  I think I'd give up an 
Over the Rhine song for more sun right about now...

Regarding this whole Sixpence stuff, I throw two eager feet in the 
"convert" circle.  I bought the '98 self titled CD and the Kiss Me CD5 
(I'm a sucker for those) and just recently heard more from the other 
stuff (Demos, Fatherless and the Widow, Beautiful Mess and Tickets for a 
Prayer Wheel).  Wow.  Their production is really crisp, and the guitars 
are always well defined, and you can usually understand what Leigh is 
singing without reading a lyric sheet (not that that's _always_ good).

I called Todd's OtR recording, and he didn't say much but he said to try 
the office number.  I called it, and a office worker girl answered.  She 
gave me the next four scheduled dates (13Jan Boston, 14 Portsmouth NH, 
15 Irving Plaza NYC, 16 9:30 Club DC) and said they are still working on 
the demo.  She'd been on vacation a while, but thought the demo 
consisted of at least 3 songs, new stuff that had not been done 
previously (that corraborates with Brian from the Monk show as well).  
So that's pretty cool news.
