How sad is it that I have to discover our Angus has returned to blogging from Alex Ross?
Whoa! Worlds collide! (FAQWife is friends with Alex).

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.

What's funny to me about Alex Ross' post is that I read Angus' thing to a friend of mine who's mom is an opera singer (and knows far more about opera than me), and he made some kind of LePage joke too.
eta: (Or was the Lepage joke about the Opening ceremonies...?)

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Angus is back at it! Great news!
corwood, what are some of the last things you downloaded. I think I can find you that way and add you too.
Yesterday, I downloaded
- Sunn o)))) - Flight of the Behemoth
- Chris Brokaw - Red Cities
- Elf Power - A Dream In Sound (I had a copy of this already, but the sound quality was a bit shitty)
- Vic Chesnutt - The Salesman and Bernadette &
- Lyrics Born - Later That Day (ditto the re-download deal with the Elf Power album)
Hey, I need to hear about your last downloads so I can add you, too!

It's the Cowsills less than great year:
William Cowsills died on Friday -- it sounds like he was very sickly.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
no luck finding you yet Corwood. emusic really should make it easier to search for users.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Happy Birthday, Jon B.!

This is what I am saying.
Also:
Happiest of B-days to you, Jon!

Thank Yew!
Over at Bradley's Almanac, a Boston-based music blog, you can download the entire Undertow Orchestra set I saw the other night: [link]

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Happy happy to Jon!
Trying to keep it musical, I described The Pernice Bros. to my DH as being "a smarter Wilco". (He then said "Dammit! I'm not smart enough for Wilco!") How would you-all describe them?
tina f. - Feb 20, 2006 4:36:25 pm PST #2258 of 10003
If we're being totally honest - I would describe them as brainier but less melodramatic than the Smiths and less catchy than Wilco. And more forgettable than both. I don't mean to diss. I loooove Joe Pernice, but I almost never find myself going back to listen to whole Pernice Bros. albums though there are some singles that stick out ("7:30" and "Let That Show" especially).
That's probably rougher than I mean to be - I had a shitty day.
To make myself feel better I am making mixes for a friend who busy being a big time lawyer and hasn't made time to listen to new music for three years. So far I have expanded my Best of 2005 mix to THREE discs. It's kind of ridiculous.
