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.

Uhm. All my Christmases and birthdays just came at once. Mark Kozelek is doing an album of all Modest Mouse covers out Nov.1.

According to Billboard.com, Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon frontman Mark Kozelek is preparing an album of Modest Mouse covers. Kozelek seems to have a knack for fucking around with other people's work. In 2001, he released What's Next to the Moon, a collection of AC/DC covers. You'd think all this covering was a case of lazy songwriting, but Kozelek completely rearranges the songs, often leaving the lyrics as the only recognizable trace.

The Modest Mouse disc, titled Tiny Cities will be the first release on Kozelek’s own Caldo Verde label, and it will be attributed to Sun Kil Moon. The songs have been selected from all over the Modest Mouse catalogue. The album is due November 1 in North America.

Track listing:
01 Exit Does Not Exist
02 Tiny Cities Made of Ashes
03 Neverending Math Equation
04 Space Travel Is Boring
05 Dramamine
06 Jesus Christ Was an Only Child
07 Four Fingered Fisherman
08 Grey Ice Water
09 Convenient Parking
10 Trucker's Atlas
11 Ocean Breathes Salty

I'll stop serial posting pitchfork articles now.

Silence means security silence means approval

Went to get my 65 tracks from eMusic for the month and noticed that they now have a deal with Nettwerk. Cul. And they've added the SuperEgo catalog (Aimee Mann) and a half-dozen more Townes Van Zandt albums.

Suddenly, 65/month is not enough.

And for the record, I picked up these five from eMusic:

Original Pirate Material, The Streets
We Will Become Like Birds, Erin McKeown
Front Parlor Ballads, Richard Thompson
Live at St. Ann's Warehouse, Aimee Mann
Freedom and Weep, Waco Brothers

Ann, that's a ferret.

Tulane has announced that it will not open this year (semester?).

Just to clear up this bit from the article Hec quoted -- Tulane will not open this semester, but University President Scott Cowen believes it will be open for the spring semester.

More info.

How is this? I've been meaning to go get it, but haven't had time yet.

I always use up my 65 in the first week and end up buying at least one Booster pack - still a ton cheaper than buying CDs or using iTunes.

Dunno yet. I downloaded them at 10pm, and it's five hours of music. I'll let you know once I get a good listen to it on the iPod.

I can say this: Erin McKeown does Laura Veirs' album better than Laura Veirs. Remember how I said they shared a producer (Tucker Martine) and that may explain why their new albums sound so much alike? McKeown is really starting to show some of her brilliance, even if only in flashes. She reminds me of the 24-year-old outfielder who's hitting .260 with some pop, and you keep thinking that maybe, just maybe, if he can keep improving in the offseason that he will be a superstar next year. What I'm trying to say is that McKeown could be poised for a breakout album next time out -- if she keeps improving.

And another entry on the Perfect Pop Song list just came up on the iPod: "Downtown Lights" by the Blue Nile.

I should make a list of Perfect Pop Songs.

The iPod just offered this one for the list: "Wake Up Boo!" by the Boo Radleys.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I should make a list of Perfect Pop Songs.

"Heavenly Pop Hit" by The Chills almost lives up to its title.
