Portishead, Mazzy Star, Patti Smith, The Decemberists

wow, portishead HAS to do a new york show

BV this was a post just screaming my name over and over. how do we pull Hope out of obscurity? Her solo record is one of my favs of all time!!! Everybody brainstorm . . .

portishead! yay!

I want to have Hope Sandoval's babies.

Or instead of having her babies, let's figure out a way to send her flowers. About a thousand flowers. Or maybe flowers every day for a year. All my best ideas are stolen from movies.

"send me your flowers of December..."

mazzy star reunion would probably be the coolest thing ever.

"mazzy star reunion would probably be the coolest thing ever"

Yeah and so would a clash, beatles and velvet underground reunion but it aint gonna happen and neither is Mazzy Star.

By the way, I saw Hope Sandoval sitting with David Bowie at the Daniel Johnston Highline Ballrooom show.

well... actually there are a couple big differences between a Mazzy Star reunion and a clash, beatles or VU reunion...

those three bands all broke up, and since then, many of the major players in the band have DIED... I guess you could MAYBE do a VU reunion with Reed, Mo and John Cale... but it really wouldn't be much of a reunion.

As far as I know, everyone in Mazzy Star are still living... and they also never officially BROKE UP. Granted, they haven't put out an album in a decade, but, still...

Even a Hope Sandoval & the warm inventions tour would be pretty kickass. That record is great.

hope and the warm inventions played a show at bowery ballroom way back when that album came out. it was awesome. they did a rolling stones cover (Playing with Fire) as an encore. i would love to have a recorded version of that, but it doesn't exist.

it does exist, I have it!
