before the poison/forever hasn't happened yet

NPR just had a piece on the new Marianne Faithfull album, Before the Poison. She collaborates with PJ Harvey and Nick Cave, which seems like something that should have happened long ago. I'm also looking forward to the new John Doe album, Forever Hasn't Happened Yet, which features contributions from Neko Case, Dave Alvin, Kristin Hersh, and Grant Lee Phillips. A product of all this leaving I'm doing is that memories seem accessible to me in an unusually vivid way. Writing this post, I remembered seeing Marianne Faithful at the Central Park SummerStage in 1999 and also seeing X in a half electric/half acoustic show at the LA House of Blues a couple years before, both well worth remembering.
