@Theresacityinmymind recently reminded me about #GiantSand, who I had the pleasure of seeing live a bunch of times in early/mid-90s Austin TX. Still love their brooding live take on "You're So Vain" - feat. the inimitable #VicChesnutt (RIP) on vocals.

Your eyes are magnets
Where darkness has found another home
They've distanced your friends
Now you're wandering alone
Their sorrow seeps through straight to the bone
The pulse is slowing to a deadly pace
The sweat keeps pouring off your melting face
OP8 - Lost In Space
"Giant Sand has meandered around the fringes of indie-rock popularity for nearly 20 years, releasing about that many wildly diverse full-length recordings...—Giant Sand has burrowed into obscurity a bit, releasing only a tiny handful of home recordings since its failed attempt at the big-time. The Arizona band's new Official Bootleg Series Volume One is as small-time as recordings get: With a pressing of 2,000 and distribution only by mail, odds are good that fans of the band's low-key, ramshackle side won't even know it exists. The recording itself displays the slow-moving, quiet side of Giant Sand—no guitar freakouts to speak of here—as well as, of course, the distinctively cracking voice of idiosynchratic frontman Howe Gelb. By definition it's not for everyone, but fans of shambling releases like Glum will enjoy the gentility and modesty of these recordings."

i wanna pick up the pieces and start again

O Rainer (Ptacek) ηταν ο πρώτος κιθαρίστας των Giant Sand, έμεινε στο Τούσον της Αριζόνας μέχρι τον θάνατο του στο σπιτι-εργαστήριο που έφτιαχνε κιθάρες.
