‘I think I’m a silhouette on the front row’ would coincidentally make an excellent album title for Mark

I’m guessing that was around Lanegan’s ‘Field Songs’ Ben wrote and played on much of that…

‘He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs’ etc etc. Kurt was on to them in 1991!

‘For the love of God, won’t someone help with this man’s amp??’ Great seeing him and Hiro on stage at the same time, and what about those speeches??

I woke my wife from her sleep in with me rocking with tears. She later said to me, ‘Wow. Don’t know you were that big a Creed fan’

‘Twas a fine vintage! Lots of good stuff that year. Off the top of my extremely grunge-biased head: Ozma, Melvins; God’s Balls, Tad; Louder Than Love, Soundgarden; Buzz Factory, Screaming Trees

I think part of it is his annointment by the British music press.

Of course we had something similar with Sub Pop

I saw that. I’d really like to have come but I can’t make the date work. Hope you all have a great night

Coincidentally, I’m off to Hull on Friday, so I’ll make a start on the train. Can’t wait!
