during my 21st year, myself and a couple of friends headed to the metro, in chicago, to see velocity girl. velocity girl was fronted by the object of our collective desire, sarah shannon. velocity girl were pure pop bliss, btw. we happened to be running on time that particular evening so we able to catch the opener, sunny day real estate. if i had to choose between nailing scarlett johansson and reliving that show, it would be a tough call. i would still probably take scarlett, but you get the picture. while, i dont listen to diary much anymore, i find it hard to digest, i still pull out how it feels to be something on quite a bit. how it feels is much more focused and dare i say “mature” than the angst ridden diary.
jeremy is following up his orchestral laden debut return of the frog queen with a record called world waits on 10.17. here is a very cool 5 song show that he did for some contest winners in seattle. he is backed by a 9 piece orchestra and it was recorded at bobcat studios the same place he recorded frog queen.

Man, Frog Queen is a great CD. And I’m anxious to finally see Enigk solo in Philly in August.
But wow, is that fansite crappy.
I love “Return Of The Frog Queen” but never ventured much further into Jeremy Enigk. Sadly, it’s his only release still in print.
great post, thanks for the mp3s!
i also think HIFTBSO is far better than Diary, but give another listen to LP2, which slowly but surely becomes my favorite release from SDRE.
