Andrew in Drag (Ukelele version)

[fingertrouble]

Since when did Stephin Merritt become a bear?!? :-D

Still great voice, and still love this song. Everything sounds better with Ukes (and Accordions and...)

EDIT: Apparently yes he is a bear and hung around the Kings Arms while in London recently...shame I never do that cos there aren't any bearded guys there. And yes I do like pocket bears and as I've never really taken much close attention to what he looks like (still can't believe he's the same guy in those 90's videos) so that could've been a fun conversation...

I need to go write a song Magnetic Fields imaginary story style now: 'I Tried To Pick Up A Pocket Bear (It was Stephin Merritt In Drag)'

Since a while ago I think. I think he is good looking. Great eyes and he'll just get better with age. Though I'd be careful with that 'pocket bear' phrase. I can't imagine who would want to be called that. I was referred to as that once and thought it patronising. Needless to say I expressed my concerns to the perpetrator in as colourful a way as possibe. Just so's he wouldn't forget.
Your comment about the King's Arms made me laugh.

We should meet. I have been under the radar for various reasons recently. But now I am ready to rejoin the world.
Briefly.

He hates the pocket bear tag...hence my comment ;-) I find him cute now too, didn't before....amazing what a beard does, it does suit him.

And yes would love to meet up - not seen you since last summer or autumn by my reckoning...when wuuld be good (I'm free most times atm apart from Tues and Fri eves obv).

He and Brad Roberts from Crash Test Dummies should sing a duet. So much lower register, mumbly goodness. lol
