'Smile Time'
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.
Now, who recommended Brendan Benson's "Metairie"?
::bows as well::
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.

Ooh, thanks for the warning. Yes, she is officially my favorite vocalist. Though after reading the full profile on her in Mojo a few years back I'm glad I didn't know here in the falling-down-the-stairs years. (I'd always thought it was a freak accident that killed her rather than the inevitable result of many drunken tumbles.)
I always figured the question there was did she jump or was she pushed?
Joe, you'd shown me the site before, but I haven't visited for a while. I'm pretty excited about the box set, although some of the inclusions and exclusions are, I agree, rather strange. In fact, I'm working on gathering a pitch for Shoot Out The Lights for the 33 1/3 book series.
Question for They Might Be Giants fans: what are your favorite songs?
