"Bete comme un peintre"

About Me

The Carvers are mainly a vehicle for the songs of Jeffrey Richards(Hazeldine, Vic Chesnutt, Nels Andrews,Neutral Milk Hotel). Out of the desert and into your hearts! Jeffrey is also a member of Ghost In The House, Inner Parlors, Instant All Stars,Dirt City Radio, and, to some degree still, Nels Andrews. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Sounds Like: This hall that ran along the top story of the north wing was presided over by the curator, Rottcodd, who, as no one ever visited the room, slept during most of his life in the hammock he had erected at the far end. For all his dozing, he had never been known to relinquish the feather duster from his grasp; the duster with which he would perform one of the only two regular tasks that appeared to be necessary in that long and silent hall, namely to flick the dust from the Bright Carvings -Mervyn Peake

Review from 2001 show...
