which I bought at the now-defunct (I think) Mod Lang Records in Berkeley CA.
Mod Lang is not defunct by any means.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Who else is on that tribute?
Six Organs of Admittance have a wonderful contribution, Tweedy has a so-so one, and I can't recall offhand anyone else of whom I had prior knowledge.

I passed along pointers to bootlegs, MG audience anecdotes, shared dorkishness and news of Mod Lang's continued open-ness to S. He is now officially curious about my cross-coastal blinvisible friends. Ooops.
On the recent Jandek tribute, Darnielle's contribution was pretty much the best, combining a love of the original material with a brave attempt to make it more accessible. I'd be happy to post that to buffistarawk for the interested.
Please!

Tell him I spent Way Too Much Money on a CD single at Mod Lang of the Tindersticks cover of Townes Van Zandt's "Kathleen."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I am wicked excited to dl this stuff tonight. In the meantime, my office is mostly empty this afternoon, so I'm blasting girl group classics. Now playing: "Angel of the Morning," by PP Arnold. whee!

Oh, are you now? I was planning on putting up a couple Girl Group mixes. One for Big Hits, and then another for Other Hits, then maybe a Lost Gems.

IIRC, that's the Motown house band backing her on a freelance gig.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I can't pick a favorite GbV song - I love so many of them. Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes are pretty much perfect all the way through. My favorite right now would probably be Echoes Myron. Or maybe Motor Away. See???
