My flight home to Dublin was much enlivened by my single serving friends, a witty, intelligent, and charming couple from San Francisco now resident in Athlone and who perform under the stagename Kerbside (site here.) Conversation ranged from Chuck Palahniuk to Maxine Hong Kingston, Morphine (the band), the Mekons (of course), the singular and plural constructions of “e-mail,” the Gnostic Gospels, Elaine Pagels (whose name I couldn’t remember), and the virtues of Ireland’s Midlands. Do download some of their mp3s, although I was told they’re fairly old tracks: A CD is in the pipeline, I believe. Look out for it. In a good way.
