Comment:

Release date: Spring '92, I think?? My copy of the cassette insert is blank, but I must have made this for someone, at some point. I think I almost called it 'More Songs About Living and Learning'. I think it was for Sarah, May 1992. I know there was another one called Change of Life, too... it's floating out there in someone's milk crate full of old tapes from the '90s. I must try to do less thinking and more knowing.

Saw Blood Oranges open for Freedy Johnston at the old Nightstage in Cambridge. I'll always remember Freedy singing 'Responsible' from 'Can You Fly' (one of my desert island discs), and he did it in such a slow-burn, anguished, end-of-the-world way, and I looked over to see the cute waitress standing next to us - she was just staring at the stage, a tray of drinks up on her right hand in front of her shoulder, her jaw dropped-open, in a trance from this amazing performance. Great stuff. Good memories.
