A group of us were sitting around, and I made a comment that was at the expense of Amy from Aisler’s Set. Kind of put her on the spot, but it’s a sore like that sticks out among other nicer vague memories of hanging out with her. With the good tidings of Christmas, I wanna say Amy, you were cool!
I was glad I finally got to see them a couple of years ago. She definitely seems cool. Good tidings to all!
Are they based in San Francisco? If towns were like amusement parks, I’d say that place is Disneyland, and Seattle is Kennywood.
Looking forward to listening to this, although I did deem “Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland” the all-time worst Xmas song last year. Still, it is a song that must be heard. Thanks for the Erasure tune, next year maybe we can get ol’ Capt. Sensible into the set.
Miclusic, yeah i think they’re still SF-based. They played a few west-coast shows when their albums were reissued this year.
David, i think that song is worth it just for the brief moment of “Time… is flowing like a river….” Happy holidays to your whole crew!
