You guys RAWK.
Well, it is our Mission Statement. And half of our gmail address. Tell us what you end up getting her!
ION, have ya'll seen the latest headline over at Pitchfork? Seems there are some never-heard-by-the-public NMH demos floating around the interbunny.
I keep meaning to go get them but the people at my job keep making me work. It's so unfair!
Kim said they're considering around 70 pitches.
Final total is around 160. [link]

You'll be glad to know that only one of the proposals contains the word 'fisting'."

Ooh. Somebody else pitched Tom Waits too.
Thanks for that TMBG link!
Hey, I have a mystery song I can't ID -- anyone want to take a listen at it and tell me what it is? I put it up at buffistarawk ....
" You'll be glad to know that only one of the proposals contains the word 'fisting'."
Anybody else suspect that Hec's proposal is that one?
What? He pitched Tom Waits! Frankly, "fisting" would be pretty tame in such a pitch.
You know, Tep could be right.

Wasn't me. If anyone wants to see my pitch, I'll send it. It was pretty fun. Well, as much fun as you can have without fisting references.
Somebody needs to claim "as much fun as you can have without fisting references" as their tagline!
I would LOVE to read your pitch, Hec.
Lots of let-your-pitch-get-picked-ma for both you and Corwood.
I may have the next two hours of my day free. MUST GET MIX DONE.
So, fun was had last night. I saw The Sadies (Neko Case used to be their backup singer). I wasn't familiar with them at all, but I really enjoyed the show. For those not familiar - they are have a base of Dick Dale-esque rockabilly, with a dash of old country (they covered "Workin' Man Blues" by Merle Haggard), along with a tad o' southern rock (they also did "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere" by Neil Young and "Lazy Days" by the Byrds) mixed with some blues and straight guitar rock. They're from Toronto and were excellent, hard-working and clearly Chicago-loving musicians.
