> 4. Veryan Weston / Caroline Kraabel duo (who is this Karaabel, the
saxophonist?)
yep, saxophone and pretentions of "performance art." Kraabel was a member of
the Honkies (no clue). released a solo disc in 1997 (the live "Now We Are
One Two," on Dark Beloved Cloud) that is either unlistenable or just off any
appraisal scale with which i'm familiar. i want to say the best (relative,
mind you) parts sound like a laundry-room nmperign session with the Honker
muppets from Sesame Street sitting in. but that's too kind. as for all the
overheated prepubescent spoken-word material? very, very bad idea.
almost worth keeping around for the sleeve, though - handwritten note,
red-foil paper dolls, sealed in some sort of sheet rubber double-dipped in
red wax and glue.
well, almost.

I rented FwJ on DVD a couple of months ago, and yes, these are the episodes that are the best, by far, though the Dennis Hopper episode is also quite amusing. The disc presents all 6 order, I think I found the first one (Jim Jarmusch) interesting because I had no idea what to expect, then the 3 mentioned above were all good, and the other 2 so so. But for anyone wanting to buy it, this would be the way to do it. I saw it for sale recently for about $50 Cdn (35 US).
Someone mentioned that they thought that the DVD of these has extra material -- I don't think there was much beyond a Lounge Lizards video.

The DVD basically contains the 6 episodes, a Lounge Lizards video, and then
commentary tracks for all 6 episodes done by Lurie. Sometimes his
commentary track is funnier than the actual show. And I agree that the
