1.) The Black Angels, ‘Passover’: A concept album based on lyrics inspired by Star Wars. It has to do with neither Vietnam nor the psychedelia era, admitted to at a Green Room afterparty after a show at Chop Suey where I ran around trying to get a light for Hannah Levin’s cigarette.
2.) The meaning of Father John Misty’s ‘Fear Fun’ was revealed to me by the author on the sidewalk patio at The Crocodile on St. Patrick’s Day as a concept album with lyrics based on Adult Swim series Xavier: Renegade Angel. (That was a follow up from the people who brought you Wonder Showzen.) Hannah and Kathy Fennessy were chatting with Charles Cross inside the venue, I don’t remember who was playing, and hardly anyone else was left in Seattle during that year’s SXSW.
