3.10.97 Pawing through the archives while doing those Show Business Is My Life posts over the weekend I came across this (pic and post on my old blog.) That's Kevin Army's grandma's guitar, I believe, an old Gibson which was used on quite a few MTX recordings of that period, as well as on SBIML. If the camera time stamp date is correct, this is from the month before we started recording Revenge Is Sweet and So Are You. There's a set list on the coffee table that seems to be for a solo show -- if so it must have been a very early one among the first of those I did. My guess is it was the one at the Lookout store. The fact that I'd written out a list reflects how nervous I was about playing solo back then. I guess I was practicing. This was at the stage where several of the songs later recorded for SBIML were still on the Revenge Is Sweet menu, and some of them are on the list: "Suicide Watch," "Knock Knock," "She Turned out to Be Crazy". Note: the Archie McPhee inflatable mummy; the Groovie Ghoulies devotional candle; Batman alarm clock; fake Nunchaku; very best of the Undertones shirt; H. P. Lovecraft's Dagon and other Macabre Tales; Levinas's Totality and Infinity... 20 years ago, but everything still seems kinda similar. notes: -- weekend SBIML posts: It was 20 years ago today..." https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/968881168338309120 "Knock Knock (Please Let Me In)": https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/968943549434687488 "Ask Beth": https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/968922654153035776 -- original post on blog: http://www.doktorfrank.com/archives/2017/10/3_10_97.html -- RISaSAY (discogs): https://www.discogs.com/The-Mr-T-Experience-Revenge-Is-Sweet-And-So-Are-You/release/1633682 -- SBIML (discogs): https://www.discogs.com/Dr-Frank-Show-Business-Is-My-Life/release/2147054
