When it pulled up, I got on and sat down in my seat still on cloud nine, then realized I had sat on gum! A lovely way to end my evening! But these events in life make for my catalogue of great stories. I audibly started laughing. **** like that happens to me ALL THE TIME! I may just have to start a dumb **** that's happened to you thread!

I saw her a couple of times back when Spyboy was still together and those shows were stunning. She did a version of "Love Hurts" at one of the shows that had me bawling like a baby. Then I saw her after
Red Dirt Girl came out and "Bang the Drum Slowly" had the same effect on me. Those opening lines are heartbreaking in the context of the song. "I meant to ask you how to fix that car/I always meant to ask you about the war."
Can't wait for her new album, some of the things posted on her site about the sessions make it sound as if it's going to be even more left-field than her last few albums.
