The benefit of living in NYC (I recently moved after living there for nearly 25 years)! I remember one show where they didn’t have a full band and Oren played drums and guitar at the same time. The space in their music allows for that sort of thing, but it still was pretty cool to see.
I saw them several times live in the early-mid aughts. They’re great!
Terrible summary, bot. This is a pretty interesting list though, and though the title doesn’t mention it, all authors are women. I’ve added a few to my reading list. The list:
The Cost of Living by Deborah Levy
Bluets by Maggie Nelson
Ti Amo by Hanne Ørstavik
The Lonely City by Olivia Laing
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Look at Me by Anita Brookner
Accident: A Day’s News by Christa Wolf
Assembly by Natasha Brown
The Years by Annie Ernaux
The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff
Sunn O))) or some really repetitive and droney black metal like Burzum’s Filosem
The oral history form, a la “Please Kill Me” and “Meet Me in the Bathroom” really suits this tale.
