Heh. I'm so predictable. But yesssss, if someone manages to download it, I would dearly love a copy.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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.

It looks like the Boston Globe (via Boston.com), now requires registration for some of their articles, but if you go in and access the weekly Ideas section (it's in the Sunday paper), they had an article on the 33 & 1/3 series, and some similar books. No mention of the specific upcoming titles, though.

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

Except they called editor David Barker, "Barkley". The 33 1/3 blog reproduced the article here: [link]

The RIAA goes even further into cuckoo land. Coming next: the RIAA determines that listening to music on CDs you just bought is not covered under fair use.

Corwood! Tina! Get thee to the Undertow Orchestra tour! I saw the group (Will Johnson, David Bazan, Vic Chesnutt, and Mark Eitzel with Scott Danbom) perform Tuesday night and it was much better than I even hoped it would be.
Each singer took a turn, playing three of their songs at a time, and they went around twice. I was worried that when one was singing, the others would just strum along or something. But no! They were a band, with Bazan and occasionally Johnson on drums and Chestnutt on bass. They filled out each other's songs really well. Eitzel might as well have been playing with American Music Club, the arrangements were so lush.
In fact, Eitzel's second go-round was the highlight of the night for me, with interpretations of "Ladies and Gentlemen", "Johnny Mathis' Feet", and a song about a gay strip club dancer (anyone? Bueller?) that just about killed me.

tour dates here
gah! I would have loved to see them but they had to do 2 nights in stupid Arlington instead of one night there, one night here.
Randomly: I was at a party once at Mark Eitzel's house but he wasn't there.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
and a song about a gay strip club dancer

You may not believe this but in a dream I had a couple of nights ago Eitzel came over to my house for dinner. And while we were waiting for whatever to cook, I put on Shoot Out The Lights and he was all 'Good choice'. I told him that the 33 & 1/3 series was putting out a book on it and all. I can't remember his response.
True story, that.

Excellent dream!
And thanks for the rec, Jon! They're playing here next week, so I'll try to get downtown for it.
My new band is playing our inaugural show tonight.
