ugh hate him and he ruins the podcats for me.
I like the idea of podcats. I think its the kind of thing that would intrigue tommyrot too.
Christgau used to be safely ghettoized at the Voice. Now he's loosed on the nation.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

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.

In all seriousness, that\'s a really dumb thing to say. Lots of bands today do audience participation. Sometimes it\'s annoying and sometimes it\'s good. The Decemberists happen to be quite good at it, mostly due to the charm of Mr. Meloy. But they aren\'t breaking any new ground or reviving anything.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I would like to post that "Edible Flowers" by the Finn Brothers is my new favorite crack
song, which I have to listen to 500 zillion times a day at least and that all of you who download that kind of thing, should go download it RIGHT NOW.
And Christgau is indeed an ass.

I lurve my NPR podcasts and All Songs is one of my favorites of them.
Mr. Meloy is quite the charmer. We also did an audiance only sing-a-long with the "I Love New York..." part of Myla Goldberg.

And I am now listening to The Decembrists in Jon B's honor. Perhaps I will sing along here in my office.

Oh, come now. I hate to be the guy to defend him, but Christgau's not an ass and not deserving of this invective. He's just plain wrong sometimes, as people often are. Dave Marsh, Jon Landau, Jan Wenner: those guys are ass.

on the podcasts I have listened to with him, he talks over everyone and cuts people off even when they are directly asked a question by the host.

Really? Ok, maybe he is an ass. I've never heard him speak.

I still like Christgau.
A belated happy birthday, msbelle. (It is sometime in mid-January, isn't it?)
But I'm really here because I just sent something to B'Rawk2. Can't remember if sent it before, but... think anyone around here might be interested in a Go Home Productions mashup of the Velvet Underground ("I'm Waiting for the Man" and "The Gift") and the Archies ("Sugar Sugar")?

Me and Lester Bangs!
The VU's "There She Goes" mashed up with Marvin Gaye's "Hitchhike" would be a gimme.
