should we try it? is it very very early computers? is it very very narcissistic?
well we will start slow. and see if anyone cares. we will start of really easy and see if anyone cares.
if people get into it perhaps then we will do a contest with a cash prize of $100,000.
1)what was the line up of the first xiu xiu show?
2)during one of the songs on the record "live and life" i got a cigarette thrown in my face while playing. what venue was that at?
3)what cities in mexico has xiu xiu played shows?
4)what is the name of the band that xiu xiu bassist devin hoff and xiu xiu drummer ches smith have together?
5)name every song xiu xiu has covered. there are 10.
ok is this already dumb? back to not talking about xiu xiu.

damn, why did jamie post the answers? i was going to! teaches me to not check the forum yesterday :-(
oh, and if you're going to count everything that was a cover of xitsj/ibopa, you get:
helsabot, sad girl, i luv the valley, pink city, hives, king earth
and one could maybe argue "gigantic" by the pixies, but that was a one-off band, and not really xiu xiu
and what ever happened to that reported cover of Big Fun's "teenage suicide - don't do it"?

i know don dias played a few early shows with the band (according to jamie, he left because at first xiu xiu sucked), but from the interviews i have with jamie, don isn't mentioned as being at the first show (the festival)
oh, and djfonzi: check your email (re:video)

I'll stand corrected.
I tried to find the circumstances (where, when) of the "first show" before opening my trap, but figured what the heck.
I know Don played at the Bottom of the Hill, at least. Accordion through a Rat pedal or something...
