Have you thought there could be but a single supreme?

There can be any number of supremes--one does not conuntervail another any more than one eysight countervails another, or one life countervails another.

I will confront these shows of the day and night,
I will know if I am to be less than they, 
I will see if I am not as majestic as they,
I will see if I am not as subtle and real as they,
I will see if I am to be less generous than they,
I will see if I have no meaning, while the houses and ships have meaning,
I will see if the fishes and birds are to be enough for themselves, and I am not to be enough for myself.

Sisters of Mercy

Oh the sisters of mercy they are not departed or gone,

They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on,
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song,
Yes I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.
Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control,
It begins with your family but soon it comes round to your soul,
I have been where you're hanging and I think I can see how you're pinned,
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness tells that you've sinned.
Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them,
They touched both my eyes, and I touched the dew on their hem,
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn,
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon,
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon,
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they've sweetened your night,
We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be all right.

Song of Myself

I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the 
beginning and the end, 
But I do not talk of the beginning or the end. 

There was never any more inception than there is now, 
Nor any more youth or age than there is now, 
And will never be any more perfection than there is now, 
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now. 

Urge and urge and urge, 
Always the procreant urge of the world.

Winston Calling was amazing

I just went to the Winston Calling show, and boy was it amazing.  In case you didn't know, here are some of the events: Tenacious D played.  The Pixies played minus Kim Deal, so various people sat in for her including Flea(!)  Flea goes bananas when he plays bass.  Also, "Weird" Al Yankovic sang "I Bleed," with the Pixies which was very surreal.  

Anybody else go to this, and were you as wowed as I was?

Pixies - Aragon Ballroom 11/21/2009

I would have loved to see all three Aragon Pixies shows, but seeing as that's insanely cost-prohibitive, I settled for the last one. Judging by the reviews of the other shows (which were still good), it sounds like I picked the best night (aside from missing out on Dig for Fire and Planet of Sound).

Setlist:

Dancing the Manta Ray
