When are you coming stateside? Please book the Iron Horse in Northanpton MA.If you have a mailing list please put me on it... Thanks for a great show... Dan Sandie tag:www.foysnoise.com:/content_article_401/5653 2008-08-05T11:57:12Z 2008-08-05T11:57:12Z you are tired in the physical dry in the spiritual and when you close your eyes you are looking up at the wrong 'sun'... Come on boy, take yourself by the scruff of the neck and give yourself a shaking down! Much love Ministry of Cake Mark tag:www.foysnoise.com:/content_article_401/5656 2008-08-05T13:26:18Z 2008-08-05T13:26:18Z Bloody typical! Here we are exerting much time, energy and focus putting your career to rights, mulling over whether that F minor 7th was really the best choice following the key change to the bridge, and the like, or whether the leather hat is better than the 'Donny Hathaway' cap, all you are doing is sunning yourself like some spoiled international playboy in some camping site in Southend. Christ, there's gratitude for you...bloody pampered self obsessed pop stars!!!! And on the false name thing there must be some milage in an anagram of Foy Vance (particularly if you've got a middle name?). Lewis Taylor's was Slow Reality which, in his case, was somewhat apt! Answers on one of your dad's old ten pound notes of which false names Foy should use for his up coming prog-bluegrass triple album to...

Is this cricket? mark tag:www.foysnoise.com:/content_article_401/5660 2008-08-06T08:25:32Z 2008-08-06T08:25:32Z Now I'm really confused. My witty ramblings (which don't appear so witty in the cold light of day) are now back up but the Italian dessert recipe is no more. Blooody hell, here I am in the kitchen with me big wooden spoon, an ounce of butter, two broken eggs and a drooling mouth and, bang, I'm, left in the lurch... Rock and roll. Mr Moderator tag:www.foysnoise.com:/content_article_401/5661 2008-08-06T08:29:56Z 2008-08-06T08:29:56Z sorry about that Mark, all fixed now though! Sandi, I think Foy was being frivolous so no need to fret, but on the other hand if you live in a world with more than one sun, maybe you do ;)!

All the best and God Bless. Gaz tag:www.foysnoise.com:/content_article_401/5664 2008-08-06T14:18:19Z 2008-08-06T14:18:19Z Holy ghost Foy! That post took me in a few different directions... kinda like listening to Bjork. I can't decide whether your brother might be insane or an absolute genius but he could officially be my new hero for his wedding strategy. Safe. larry Frank Campbell tag:www.foysnoise.com:/content_article_401/5665 2008-08-06T17:35:23Z 2008-08-06T17:35:23Z hi foy, my family (which includes my wife, adult son and daughter, and adult nephew) just finished a six day road trip across western canada to celebrate my parents' 80th birthday and 55th anniversary. amazing. while traveling we played "hope" three or four times the last two or three at my son's request. it was gratifying to have the generations moved by your poetry and music. i have yet to listen to "indiscriminate acts of kindness" or "gabriel and the vagabond" without tears. as to the last song i finally figured out why...i am the vagabond. thank you.

Looked it up in the dictionary and it says "philosophy that man can only be free through full consciousness of his illogical position in a meaningless universe". Now that is what my kids would say is cool. If they knew I had actually used that word in real life they would probably never speak to me again. Foy, you should read Sebastian Faulkes "Engleby". Very interesting perspective. There's a bit in it where he considers the illogicality of an absent God i.e. if he's a loving God why doesn't he show up? Well, it is Friday afternoon.
