Farewell, new world!

[imomus]

Later today I leave New York and fly back to London, where I'll be battling jetlag to record The Momus Story for Cherry Red TV -- an epic interview about my music career destined to thunder in the annals of anal alongside The Alvin Stardust Story and The Jim-Bob Story. (I love you, Cherry Red! I love how you care!)



This month, for me, though, has really been The Aki Sasamoto Story. I spent the first half of the month dressed up as a kabuki stalker, pursuing Aki around an art gallery, and the second half being pursued by Aki, now herself dressed up as a kabuki stalker, around rock stages. I had an inexpressibly wonderful time. Thanks, Aki, and thanks America!

I didn't know your music at all. I gave myself a crash course in it the day of your NYC show, then I went to the show. You did a great job. It was a fantastic example of how a performer can use body movement alone (yours & Aki's) to hold the audience's interest in the absence of anything else on stage. And for 2 & 1/2 hours no less. Question: what was the first song of the encore? I went to the restroom & missed it.

liked your show, want more.

I missed your show on Tuesday. It sounds like you and Aki presented another great show. I went to the gallery earlier this month, and the experience is still delighting and haunting my heart. Aki has been one of my favorite artists, and I am so happy (though not surprised) to learn her appearance on a rock stage. She is always expanding, what a gem! You two are truly multi-talented artists. Anybody filmed the NY Momuthon?
