You may believe that the characters are fictitious if you like.... Well, it all starts with a show in San Francisco, Victor Krummenacher and Alison Faith Levy at the Hotel Utah March 6th 1999. I played a couple songs with Alison and then the whole set with Victor, we got back to Victor's at about 3am, so I dozed in a chair 'til 5 when the shuttle came to pick me up to take me to the airport. a short layover in chicago, many people stranded by the weather there, but i got safely to Richmond, VA. where eventually i got picked up by Scott Minor and Mark Linkous in Mark's old diesel Mercedes wagon. out to the farm in Dillwyn to rehearse. on th eway we pick up a new instrument for Mark, a nylon string guitar that he is having a pickup put into. Already at the farm is David Dreiwitz, our new bass player. I met Dave originally may years ago when i was playing with Camper Van Beethoven and he was playing with Tiny Lights, but recently re - met him while doing shows in NY last fall with John Kruth. Dave also plays with Ween. So the band is Mark on guitar and singing and other weird sounds, Scott on drums and sampler, Dave on electric and acoustic bass, me (Jonathan) on guitar, violin, keyboards and glockenspiel, with both Dave and I singing background vocals. -

Tufts University Experimental College Spring 2017 Courses
TUFTS UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENTAL COLLEGE SPRING 2017 COURSES ExCollege Signature Courses: Taught By Visiting Lecturers and Teaching Fellows EXP-0002-VS Losing It: Tales From Girlhood 1.0 credit, Letter-graded Wednesday, 6:00-8:30pm Simone de Beauvoir famously wrote, "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman." If so, what does this process of becoming entail? And how do societal expectations determine what it means to come "of age" for the young girl? This course will examine works of literature, mythology, folklore, and film that depict the transition from girlhood into womanhood, paying particular attention to how differing backgrounds of race, class, sexuality, ability, and gender expression trouble a stable formula for becoming a woman. As we will find, female coming of age tales invoke a transformation that can be experienced as a loss or a death or an emergence— but one after which there is no return. Natalie Adler is currently a visiting assistant professor at Brown University in the Department of Comparative Literature and with the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women. She received her PhD in January 2016 in Comparative Literature from Brown. EXP-0005-GS Horror, Abjection, and You 1.0 credit, Letter-graded Mondays, 6:00-8:30pm What are you afraid of? What in our world is abject? After a year of creepy clowns, Zika, and rampant political fear-mongering, all of us have experienced horror on a number of levels. But how often do we think about horror's power to control us? This course will pair literature, film, advertisements, political speeches, and more with theories put forth by philosophers, psychologists, biologists, theologians, and political scientists in order to question what frightens us about our world, about our bodies, and about what lurks in the recesses of our collective psyche. -

It’s another article about another festival coming to another venue in the Netherlands. You think you know what you’re going to do: read the article, maybe skim it for famous names, bands you recognise, authors you’ve read.
