Housekeeping / Upcoming The Magnificently Lugubrious Mark Eitzel @ Triple Door Sept. 19
Posted by Dave Segal on Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 5:14 PM
A reader called us out in the comments for this week's Up & Coming section for not mentioning the Mark Eitzel show happening at Triple Door Sat. Sept. 19. Sorry. Space is limited in the paper; we can't cover everything; worthy concerts sometimes get overlooked.
Toward making amends with Mark Eitzel's rabid fan base, here's a video of what I think is one of his most beautiful, soul-wrenching songs in a catalog bursting with same: American Music Club's "Electric Light" from 1987's Engine. In this song, he elongates the word "I" into one of the greatest sighs in the history of humanity. (Sighing is an underrated art form.)
