what i did in alabama

in January 2011 i was in my home state of alabama for a minute.
there was a show at this totally deplorable smoky party coke bar
that i would never want to make money for,
but it was a benefit for a children's hospital.
and as it was a david bowie tribute night, i knew i could get on it and
learn some songs in a day
and severely fuck them up
making my them more mine than bowie's.
5 minutes is all i need for a show.
i did "scream like a baby" and "always crashing in the same car"

i got more handshakes than cups thrown at me
though my performance ellicited some of both
so consider it a success.
i wanted to bring some oakland back to my hometown.

here you may listen to the results.
the amazing roman gabriel todd plays tom drum
skillfully
"only on the one,
with no frills".
