during my first stay in brighton, in the summer of 1999, i happened to go to a Songs:Ohia show in a semi-elitist club called Sussex Arts Club, near the port. in those days, Jason Molina wasn't taking himself too seriously - not as show-offy and at the same time totally unironic neilyoungish as he appears nowadays.
that hot july night, he was great. before the show started, Sam Prekop's first album was played at a low volume - THE soundtrack of the late 90ies, so many clubs used to play that record as a background sound layer.
i went to the bar to order a beer. the barmaid was gorgeous - bored and funny. after SP's album, some early Cat Power was played, and we had a brief conversation about it.
her name was Romy, and she told me about a band she was playing in, Lolita Storm.
a couple days later, we met at an AMP / Pram / Telefunken show - The Pressure Point this weird venue was called.
she was drunk, and still as desirable as i had remembered her. but i was young, and shy.
listen.
