It avails not, neither time or place—distance avails not;
I am with you, you men and women of a generation, or ever so many generations hence;
I project myself—also I return—I am with you, and know how it is.
Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt;
Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd;

—Walt Whitman, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, 1900

Promises Of Water

While trying to determine if the new Angels of Light record was going to come out on vinyl, I stumbled upon a great live set on WNYC from late 2005. It starts with Gira performing solo, including some (at the time) new songs that ended up on the record, We Are Him. He is later joined by the rest of the Angels of Light (whom I believe at that the time is made up of the Akron/Family).

I am exceedingly glad, as it looks I have to be robbed, that is being done by first-class artists, by men of national reputation.

—Professor J.L. Allen, on being robbed by the James Gang
