i always want to tell him, "I listened to Rainbows From Atoms everyday for like two years when i was a teenager." but i don't. he probably gets that a lot?
I only noticed last week that a load of their stuff is now on spotify so I've been gradually acquainting myself with them.

One of my favorite shows was when I was visiting a friend in NYC in 1998, and I just happened to be walking by Brownies, and I saw that Lungfish was playing with Quix*o*Tic that night. They were so, so good. I'd seen them lots of times before and would see them again, but it was just really great to stumble across it.

Here are three more Danny anecdotes from the late '80s:1) Higgs used to talk about the living anti-Christ in between songs - I heard this twice at different shows. He claimed that the anti-Christ was alive and living in England. And here the time, I thought he was the anti-Christ.2) I once gave Higgs a copy of my fanzine called Shredded Slime. A month or so later, I saw Reptile House at the Marble Bar and in between two of the songs, he read some of his poetry. I nearly dropped dead when one of the lines in his poem was "shred the slime"... Unfortunately, I haven't found that poem in any of his published material (although I only paged through one book). Of course, no one around me at time believed it, so I've always kept this story to myself but it was always cool when you realized that someone in a band you loved actually read your zine.3) Years ago, Burger King used to give out paper crowns with their kiddie meals. Higgs would bring a crown to each show and when one of the audience members was acting particularly asshole-ish, Higgs would bring out the crown and announce that the "Gig Idiot" (or "Gig Moron") had been identified and would he come up to the stage to be crowned. One night, the guy he crowned actually wore it with pride and continued to be a rude slam-dancing asshole the entire evening. I had to hand to this kid, he wore his mark of shame with amour propre.
