Spain performing the song "Only One" 1 Dec 1995 at Rockamadour, Dour, Belgium.

This was the second European show Spain ever played.

The first was at Les Inrockuptibles 1995 festival in Rennes, France in front of about 1500 people.

The show at Rockamadour was in a basement in front of about thirty people (if my memory serves me right).

It was so cold we had to wear all our winter gear on stage, and we could still see the frost from our breath.

Spain never made a proper recording of "Only One", enjoy it here.

"Only One" written by Josh Haden.

Happy Super Tuesday everybody!

That is, if you live in Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, and/or West Virginia, happy voting!

And remember, there is an equally compelling argument against voting: "Act Responsibly: Don’t Vote!": http://www.lewrockwell.com/mcelroy/mcelroy37.html

While you vote listen to this episode of "Mr. President" from 1947, and see if you can guess which president they're portraying!

Let's all hope our votes are counted!

January 14 is always a sad day for me because it marks the passing of one of my favorite artists, Bryn Jones AKA Muslimgauze, who died on this day in 1999.

Muslimgauze is a huge inspiration to me, and I know his soul and his spirit watches over us all.

A previously unreleased Muslimgauze album entitled "Wish Of The Flayed" has been released as a free mp3 download from the website Arabbox v1.0 at http://arabbox.free.fr/

Here is the title track from "Wish Of The Flayed".
