She explained that it literally means "horse horse tiger tiger" yet combined translates into "fair to middling". Now, what does that exactly refer to? The musicianship, the setlist or were you all born in the year of the horse or tiger?, Cheers, John Hi Clay,

I was referring not to your band's 'famous cameo' but to Cave's cameo in the Brad Pitt movie. I am yet to see that. ^_^ The God Is In The House gig has a similar feel to the concert that we saw in 1997. Actually the bonus CD, Live At The Royal Albert Hall is from 1997. Now Clay, which instrument do your play? Cheers, John. Hi Clay, No… I was referring not to your band’s ‘famous cameo’ but to Cave’s cameo in the Brad Pitt movie. I am yet to see that. ^_^

I meant there's a performance of Red Right Hand in it (I think it's that one) that's brilliant. From the sound of your description of the Sydney concert, possibly the same tour? There's also a great performance of the Curse of Millhaven on that dvd. God, what a chilling song. Thanks again for the invitation to stop and hear the (thorny, red) roses. oh goodness, if i implied my ex-ex-band (Shanghai – we were called “mama huhu” – ask Shaoping ;-) ) makes a “cameo” in GIITH, what a goof.
