        I can't say anything about this show but I did see them the first time
they played the Cradle.  I think it was with Sunny Day Real Estate and
Shudder To THink.  What a line up!  Soul Coughing was great.  They
still stand out in my head.  I can't help but hear some of the same
ideas in G-Love and the Special Sauce though.  Did Soul Coughing still
have the guy throwing in all the cartoon and t.v. show samples in the
middle of songs?  I think that's what separates them from G-Love+SS.
I haven't heard anything by Soul Coughing lately.  How is their new
album?
