Much appreciated!

Yep, shortly before I moved with my then-fiancee (now spouse) from NYC.

Seems like a billion years ago--for good and ill.

The Tonic has of course closed down now (or moved). It's funny: when I was in New York last fall, I went past where the old Tonic was, together with Joe Budenholzer, who auditioned for the piano for these concerts.
Weird coincidence indeed!

They were remarkable concerts. I know someone videotaped them, but I've never seen a copy, bootleg or otherwise. As far as my performance is concerned, that's likely just as well!

For some reason or another, there doesn't seem to be very many live bootlegs from Current 93 floating about. Which, for a collector, is rather frustrating.

Re: Were to start?


Yep, that was almost eleven years ago. I do wish I had a video of one of those performances. It was all pretty magical (especially the rehearsal in the Bowery with Tibet & Company the night before the opening).

I just found out recently that it was at one of these concerts that David Tibet first met
Antony_Hegarty Antony_Hegarty
(the remarkably and singularly talented Antony of Antony and the Johnsons). I think that was on the third night of concerts, so Antony did not get to witness my little vent show (again--just as well)!

Thanks for posting that poster!

A funny coincidence regarding Antony. A guess would be that it could have happened through William Basinski, who, I believe, produced the first Antony & the Johnsons demo.

All the Pretty Little Horses is my favourite. It is atmospheric, thought-provoking and in many places really quite beautiful.

I have a recording of one of those shows! Ironically, the third, for which it appears they were actually opening for Heemann...

Unfortunately, it's somewhat lo-fi (quiet and somewhat distorted/hissy) and purely audio... In spite of this, a great and unusual performance, with the surprisingly effective and rare addition - for the period - of electric guitar to the set-up, plus a rather intriguing setlist, "The Seahorse Rears To Oblivion" making an odd but compelling opening number. Also, the bootleg includes a very curious bonus in the form of what seems to be an unreleased studio track, based dually upon a looped Tibet vocal fragment ("The little kitten shrugs and arches...") and gradually amassed layers of guitar drones.

I'd love to see the film, but I'm not sure where I'd find it myself.

I don't expect this to be well received, but shouldn't we distinguish between "Were to start?" and "Where to start?"

Tiepoes annoy me, two.

Tibet: Carnivals?
Ligotti: Ceremonies for initiating children into the cult of the sinister.
Tibet: Gas stations?
Ligotti: Nothing to say about gas stations as such, although I've always responded to the smell of gasoline as if it were a kind of perfume.

It would be over-stating things to say that I was annoyed. "Confused" might be a better word, or "disappointed". Seeing the thread title, I thought the sense was "(some kind of reaction) were (something) to start?" So I opened the thread, and found that it should have read "where to start". Which I found disappointing, as I'd imagined that it might be something more mysterious.
