“Goodbye, Babylon” is still truly wonderful

I previously waffled on about how cool Goodbye, Babylon is, but I just stumbled across this wonderful photo of (part of) the set on the Dust-to-Digital web site and had to share:

Photo of the Goodbye, Babylon boxed set of early religious music from the dust-to-digital web site.

Having had this for several months now, it has grown to be one of those few “must take to the desert island” sorts of collections for me. The breadth of styles, the quality of the performances, the recording quality, the wonderful book, and the cool packaging are all just amazingly spiffy.

OK, I’ll calm down now…

Monkey River Town strikes again! Cory has posted this wonderful picture on Flickr of some of us in our misspent youths.

Oh man is this cool. Sitting to my left is Sarah Nylander; we once did a 2.5 hour show on KUMM devoted to accordion music – it was a wonderful thing. WeatherGirl‘s hair has gone through many permutations since this was taken, and I was still wearing suspenders back then.

Me oh my, but Sub-Evil Boy looks just a wee bit younger than the (very nearly) teenager that currently shares our life. I suspect it was the next year (or the year after) that he and Brent Heeringa (who MC’ed the event) did a version of Pavement’s "Cut your hair" (there’s a Wikipedia entry for that?!?). Watching his little 4.5 year old self singing up there in front of all those students was a real blast. One of the many wonderful things about life at UMM.

Thanks a ton to Cory for sharing this memory!
