LOVE this track, “The Saint of Impossible Causes,” off Joe Arthur‘s The Ballad of Boogie Christ, which came out last week. I met Joe a few times at Adria Petty‘s house parties years ago when she lived in the East Village. Adria and I met in the spring of 2002 on a photo shoot I did for Nylon in Berlin (it was my first shoot for Nylon) while she was writing about films for Marvin Jarrett. We became fast film friends and Joe was a friend of hers and Anna Gabriel. I listened to the other tracks on this album and each one is spot on. I know exactly which one of my friends is getting this for her birthday. You know who you are chicita. Joe is playing the Troubadour this Thursday June 20th.
