Anxiously awaiting your return to LA STOP. Will personally hand out flyers and bring all my friends STOP. Make Haste STOP. Delay unacceptable STOP. When are you coming back?

Just finished writing these words about you on David J's forum. Maybe they belong here as well:

If you never saw The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy play then you may never get it. There was a time when the same kinds of things that are being said in the press about The Decemberists now- (hyper-literate, thinking-man's music,) were being said about The Jazz Butcher. I remember when one could talk to any rabid audiophiles in a social circle and say "Jazz Butcher" and they would swoon and act like a grail had been found.
This wasn't just a band, it was a little revolution. Pat Fish made literacy and cleverness seem cool again in the post punk era and he was not apologetic about it!
I love The Jazz Butcher!!

(indeed I do) Will try to make it to one of those cozy Northampton gigs when I return to your fair country in April 2007.
Cheers, Cynthia

PAT, get on a plane and come to Melbourne, I'd love to offer you millions of dollars to tour here but my budget won't allow it. I will however provide accommodation & great home-cooked meals in return for an appearance here in Melbourne.

Until then

I'm keeping the curtains closed
