WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
- "I met "Gin" in Sydney; a two-parter, both
casual and complex. Called Rizzo right away to book time, telling him to be prepared for nocturnal me when I got home from
down under. "Great!" he said. "Looking forward to it." Rizzo himself is a night creature, a gentle vampire.
"Gin" is also a night person, and a good way to begin the CASH year, I
think. A New Year's Eve song containing an exceptional Bodhi quote: "Here's the plan: I don't go out of my backyard." Good
plan. Great plan. A resolution to end all others.
"Gin"
says that it isn't he shock, it's not even the aftershock, but the shock that follows that. I hear ya, sister. Aftershock
shock shows up when the lights go out; when there's nothing else to look at. Which is okay, I guess.
Aftershock shock demands attention not 'cause it's bitchy, but because
it's real. The point that gin makes, though, is not for you, but for others. Remember their midnights.
This was the first recording session for The Guitar that Love Built and
it shone. Both percussive and melodic, depending on what I asked it to do, it played tame wildly and tamed wild...whoo-hoo!
I was charmed, Rizzo impressed.
I would love to hear Throwing
Muses play this song someday. Night people, they step in when they get the chance and compress hours of darkness into moments
of clarity. Sometimes they have to stay up all night to make this work, but their midnights are valuable, worth sharing.
As "Gin" asks, "Are you completely numb?" and then answers, "mmm...probably
not." In that case, playing for each other is the least we can do.
Love,
Kristin"
