I backed out on the McKinley for now because I've suddenly got a bee in my bonnet to buy either the Oscar Schmidt OE40 or the Kona Electrics KEL5 with my Christmas moolah. I'll need to resell my Oscar Schmidt OE30 and case, though.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

The video for Malkmus's "Baby, C'mon" is creepily good. It's a semi-stop-motion HP ad that had weird dreams after eating too many chili dogs.

I heard that, Corwood, though I'm hopelessly out of touch with Veronica this year...(oops, almost used the name your mama gave you, well at least I didn't call you "Snot") Maury Levy got to be a good guy although the temptation to write, say, I got the stun gun, you got the grade book, would be REALLY hard to pass up. That's why I write for no-money, isn't it, bunk? Such. a . geek. I just called somebody I hardly know "bunk"...this is how street names get started. It just fell out, lj being kind of the Fells Point of fannishness and all... still, groan."Babe" is enough of a habit. Dag.(Crap, there's another one.)

Did you hear that Michael what's-her-name who plays Brianna Barksdale was in the last episode?
In other news, if any of y'all haven't read Kim Cooper's book on In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, well, then you should.

Nuh uh... been in the wind from Neptune these days. Will catch up in reruns.ETA: And of course, my new tag reflects the coolest, stupid, brave, self-confident thing I've ever heard of anyone saying, at least this week.

Isn't it great? Before she started we talked a lot about how Elephant 6 was like one of the utopian artist communities that used to flourish in the 19th century. Except nomadic. For me it's a surprisingly moving book about friendship and making music. You always hear the legends about the Davies brothers slugging each other on stage. You don't hear this story as much.

I haven't read it yet, but I love that Kim has been signing and numbering her promo copies and selling them for big bucks!

Oooh, I wondered why she number the copy she sent to me. I'm rich!

interesting...I don't read much music writing. Don't want to feel like a dumbass. Which is a silly insecurity on my part, because *of course* the writer knows something I don't...that's what books are for. Maybe it was spending my early childhood being shushed by musicians. Or meeting Jazz People later on.(I've come to like jazz, but some of the hardcore fans can put out a real "High Fidelity record store" vibe that is not friendly to the newbie.)

It does help to know that particular record, erika, but the book is accessible to the non-fan. But it does help to understand the particular reverence that many people (myself included) feel for this record.
