JFR returns to his alma mater as Excepter performs on checkerboard floors in a former insane asylum-turned dormitory for unlucky sophomores. JFR and NNCK creative director would often lunch here (Taco Bell 69 cents) in formative years of the young people's NYC avant garde scene 94-95. This night we played with Blues Control and Lala's band Imaginary People. Lala provides request for "Pink Panther Theme" on untuned piano as introduction to the enduction.

Recorded live to stereo, May 8, 2005
Sonic Protest Festival, Paris France.

The last show of the European tour. A long road running up from pilot home at ZDB Lisbon through Porto to Vigo to Bilbao, cutting across to Barcelona, then a mad dash through the Alps to Paris. A slice of hoof if you're lucky. Twenty minutes sleep in a hallway or hushed in a hostel. We lived in gay bars. But he took it too far. The last show with Calder and Caitlin.

Big underground shindig thrown by the dudes in Deerhunter. In fact, Deerhunter main-man Brandon fan-tackled JFR before the set ... and hasn't been seen in the same room since. JFR would burn a few additional bridges (later rebuilt) by telling a long-time school pal that they "were only friends for fifteen minutes." Oddly about the same amount of time the band would let go by in its set before letting the rhythms drop. Magik Markers, Mirror Dogs and The No-Neck Blues Band were all present. Last US show with C&C line-up.
