Audio Tours


One of my students suggested that we turn the results of Civil Warcraft into a series of audio driving tours for Civil War battlefields. People could download them or get them on CD and drive the park tours, but would be given our version of history rather than the actual events.

Holy Shit! 11 days after...

Sonata For Loudspeakers


I agree about "Sonata For Loudspeakers" -- that is one of my favorites. If we could find a live version somewhere it would be great to include.

"Hexenzsene", "October All Over" and "Scarlette" are all great choices.

"Negated" is one of my favorite songs of all time. I can't believe I left it off my original list. There is a great version on "A Single History" that is better than the album version. I think they must have played that song live a lot, it rocks!

God, I hope Unwound understand how much they are missed. It would be amazing if they could see this video, or be in the "audience" at our "show".

Unwound Live • show of all shows


I think the faces will be perfect and I'll paint the 'bodies' black so it's even more clouded in mystery. If you print out those b/w pics out completely I could work with the shoulders too, don't crop them or anything, they will be perfect.

I think for the venue it should be really dark or just flooded with backlight. We'll have to mess with it a little when we get there.

So keeping in line with, our dream set-list....I like your list, and Mike specifically requested 'all souls day' also, and I have a couple live shows that start out with it so that works perfect as an opener.
'below the salt' would be a great closer or even an encore, like we talked about.

I would love 'Sonata for loudspeakers', but sadly I don't think they did this live on anything I have.
My MUST have's(in addition to your picks):
Corpse pose
Hexenzsene
October all over
The world is flat

Maybe:
Scarlette
Unauthorized autobiography
lady elect
Negated

I will put together both of these lists and post again about a final set list.

Go To Dallas And Take A Left (Repitition)

There are tons more, but I'm sure you have some to add.

Conflux festival 2007


Matt, I have an idea which I will propose to Conflux (sept 13 -16, thurs-sun) as soon as it goes live for contributions...here it is basically:
We each draw up a xerox flyer with info on the other person, a photo, other stats, anything relevant. Then we make a bunch of copies. We walk around williamsburg and post the flyers everywhere. My flyers are looking for you and have my cell phone # on them and vice versa. Participants will call the cell phone number and tell one person where the other one is. The round ends when one of us finds the other. Whoever gets the most calls wins the game, or whoever finds the other person most wins.
we can adjust the difficulty as we see fit...more info, or we have people try to find us...for example, my flyers are looking for you and based on how many people say they found you then we determine a winner...or like you said live updating...maybe we email a pic from our phones to this blog every 5 minutes or something.

Fredonia



Here's a map of the SUNY Fredonia campus, which I downloaded since we're speaking there as visiting artists this summer. It was a lot of fun to try to identify the various buildings that I remember from '92 -- like the dorms and classes and those woods where Josh had that fort.
