I am poking around on iTunes right now and just found "New York House" under exclusives, except no tracks are up. 38 people have taken the time to write "reviews" about the album that wasn't. kinda funny, but also people with too much time. And how does iTunes not fix this or take it down at least.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

Rhino is closing shop. Or at least "the shop." Doesn't say how the label is doing. My brother-in-law got me a gift certificate & took me to Rhino a few years ago. (I usually spend Xmas on the West coast.)
Hi, all. Yes, I'm still alive. The back is improving but I'm still on work disability. Not a lot of pain anymore unless I do something I know will aggravate the condition -- like sit at a computer & type. Hence the radio silence. I check posts every few days, but when the computer ate a post that was too long to rewrite I gave up. Also, I was so taken aback by David's assertion that Lipstick Traces was Greil Marcus's best that... that... that I still can't respond adequately. All I can say is... MYSTERY TRAIN! It's like someone saying that S6 was Buffy's peak. I lose capacity for rational thought. Actually, that's not true. In fact I'll give you a ratio:
Greil's Rolling Stone Illustrated History essay on punk:Lipstick Traces::"Lovers Walk":pussywhipped Spike's S5/S6 arc
Which is to say that a terrific short version sometimes becomes bloated and enervating when expanded. I think late Spike was a less promising idea than Lipstick Traces, but in each case I think the main problem was execution. And to be fair to Greil, I don't yell, "Oh, for God's sake just kill it already!" when I see a copy of Lipstick Traces.

Doesn't say how the label is doing.
The label's been reduced to a reissue arm for Warners for some time now.

Good to hear from you, Joe. I've been worried.

I am reading it this weekend and this makes me considerably more excited.
It's like someone saying that S6 was Buffy's peak.
But then again, I am a huge, huge fan of S6. I don't think it's the peak (clearly the second half of S2 was the peak of not just Buffy but perhaps episodic TV period). (It goes 2, 3, 6, 4, 5, 7, 1 in my world just for the record.)
By all of which I mean: nice to see you posting, joe. I hope you continue to feel better and better until back pain is a dim and distant memory.

Excuse me while I have a giddy ElderGoth moment: I just took advantage of the secret pre-sale website to order my tickets for Sisters of Mercy.

The Mekons's "Prince of Darkness" is about their lead singer, who is a friend of the band's.
