Whoever it was here who was pimping "Little Black Ache," thank you. I've got it on repeat in my head, in a good way.

Does it look like a good comp to you?

They didn't release a whole lot of stuff back in the day. I'll need to pull out my vinyl to cross-reference, but I think it's got most everything on it.

Anytime!

Now, who recommended Brendan Benson's "Metairie"? Because I've been listening to that on wear-out-the-electrons repeat. Mostly for that one part (I had to ask my musicky friend what that sound was called, and he said "modulation") where he sings "There's something I've been meaning to say to you ..."

That's exactly what I did when I downloaded that album as well, erin.

I have no fun music news to report. I am having computer/iPod problems that are preventing me from backing my music library to my brand new 250GB external drive. Frustrating.

I vividly remember Rollins yelling at, and nearly beating the crap out of, someone who asked Black Flag to play T.V. Party. The guy was saved by the sheer ferocity of the mosh pit - Henry couldn't break into it.

According to my recent peak in Natter:

Happy Birthday sumi!!

I have sent that Brendan Benson song to buffistarawk so y'all can see why erinaceous and I like it so much.

I am going to try to finalize my year end mix this week then liner note it up and to buffistarawk it goes. That's the plan anyway.

Thank you tina!

Seriously -- this is like getting little presents all over the board.

Hey! Happy b'day, Sumi.

Oh, I just found out about this. Richard the T fans rejoice. Or, if you're like me, rejoice with qualifications, knowing that you're going to drop a buncha cash on this not long after dropping a bunch of cash on the Peckinpah DVD box set that comes out in January.

Happy birthday, sumi. There's a present for you at buffistarawk.

Oh, I just found out about this.

I thought I told you about www.richardthompsonforcompletists.com. It's been up there for a while. Anyway, it looks good & it's scheduled to come out right after my birthday so I'll actually have an answer when asked what I want. Not enough Linda for my tastes, but an intriguing selection... and no goddamned "Walking through a Wasted Land," the inclusion of which still infuriates me a dozen years after the release of Watching the Dark. Uh oh -- I just looked at the "Essential RT" disk and it contains "Gethsemane"! WTF! Alright, I'm not as young as I used to be, gotta keep the blood pressure under control, deep breath, and another... okay. On the blech side of okay, but I have calmed down. "How Will I Ever Be Simple Again," the song preceding "Al Bowlly's in Heaven" (also missing in action, no pun intended) on Daring Adventures, again fails to get the recognition it deserves. Bah!

Speaking of Richard Thompson, Sandy Denny was profiled by Ed Ward yesterday on Fresh Air. No real surprises but I thought David would be interested.
