Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

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.

So, Jenny Lewis' (singer for Rilo Kiley aka tina's favorite band) first solo album Rabbit Fur Coat came out yesterday (my unlistened but opened copy is sitting on my desk as I type). I was a bit sad to see it get a pointedly lackluster review from pitchfork - but oh well. I was beside myself with jealousy, however, to see that on her upcoming tour she is playing a date with M. Ward (aka tina's newest favoritest singer-songwriter omg he's so good). Sadly - this show is in NYC and not Chicago (02-05 New York, NY - Angel Orensanz Foundation).

M. Ward is like everything you love about rambling, gravelly voiced guitar players plus everything you love about smart, literate indie pop guys. With an emphasis more on the "this sounds like it's an album from grandma's attic" than "this sounds like something the record store clerk that only wears ironic t-shirts likes."

And Jenny is infamous for being a badass live. AND on the album she and Ward do a Traveling Wilbury's cover that I'd bet you'd get to see them do live.

She is coming to Chicago - and to a swanky place at that - but I don't know who will be opening but I'm betting it's not going to be M. Ward.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

WOOO HOOO!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Congrats to Mr. Hec! Well done.

edit: Any other Buffistas on the list?

I think that kind of belongs in Beep Me, Corwood.
