"I do not know you..."

This is something I felt that I wanted to address, not that anybody besides myself and maybe a few other people care...or should care.

Here is the annotated version of why as of June 27th, 2012, I have removed all Wax Idols and Blasted Canyons audio/video from my site.  I decided to finally lay it all bare, and let the chips fall where they may.  NOTE:  I've made a couple of edits for privacy reasons.

I guess I *am* truly delusional.  I am only human...all too human, after all, like Hether.  In a way, being called insane is a compliment of sorts, even as I'm sure it was meant to be the opposite.  I like to think with all I've done or haven't done in my life, that I can still sleep at night, but wonder if others value that, along with not being a dick to others.

There is a point where "fan" becomes a shortening of fanatic, and at that point that line should not be crossed.  Even if you think you know a performer/songwriter through their art, the true fact is that you CANNOT.  And you must not...  Lest you end up like me, being belittled by @hetherfortune and battling it out @chameleonsvox on Twitter, though I'm struggling to see how he continues to support her now.  It's pretty hard to have two people responsible for writing such great songs hating your guts, and I take no pleasure in it.

Have you forgotten?



I have not forgotten this place, I swear to you...will work on fixing more old links at some point in the next couple of weeks.  Eventually, more new live music will surface.

In the meantime, a couple links devoted to Wythenshawe's finest, Robert Leo Gretton:

G IS FOR GRETTON

ARE YOU READY 
ARE YOU READY 

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?






And a few live tracks from his charges, New Order, in their 2012 incarnation (Hooky out, Gillian back in), recorded at the Fox Theatre in Oakland on October 12th:

Isolation
