Whoa. The purple haired girl on Gerry Anderson's UFO?
That's Nick Drake's sister.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
but when too many people are bogarting the stream it buffers like a mofo.
I want to send this clause back to 1973 and have it compared to Linear B.
What's your indie rock song of the day?
Don't Blame Your Daughter - The Cardigans

Y'know, I don't know if I have anything that can be defined as indie rock in my collection. What sorts of things are we calling indie rock?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That is, as always, a great question with a highly subjective answer.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Been traveling to NYC and back over the last day, so I'm a little late on this but...
Really? Ok, maybe he is an ass. I've never heard him speak.
Do I need to tell the story again about how Christgau dissed the Lothars at a CMJ music panel without ever even having heard us?
My indie rock song of the day appears to be (and I say this despite the inevitable mocking I will receive from Hec) Mission of Burma's "2wice". I was listening to my filled-to-the-brim 60GB iPod for about an hour during my train ride home today, and that song came up .... wait for it... 2wice!

Apparently so! I have no memory of hearing or reading this story.

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

You realize I'll probably do that every time you post something like that, right?

One of the panelists, a writer from Spin, held up the first Lothars CD as an example of the sort of thing that he really enjoyed, but that would probably be ignored by the larger media because it didn't have a large promotional budget behind it. Christgau interrupted to say that he'd never heard the Lothars but could tell just by looking at it that it sucked.

Yeah, that's a douchebag move. If it were in isolation, I might cut him some slack because everyone's capable of being a douchebag. Over on Gigposters dot com, Frank Kozik himself took the time to weigh in on a poster that I made that it was the ugliest thing he'd ever seen. He later added that it looked like a giant asshole. The poster was the one taken from the cover of The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society and the umbrage he took was from the original design, which Kozik, who is not, it seems, a very knowledgeable guy about music, didn't know. I emailed him a snotty word of no thanks and suggested that he take a minute to try to understand what he was criticizing in the future, but never heard back. Was he a douchebag that day? Yes. Is he forever a douchebag? Maybe, but it's complicated, because he's certainly helped a bunch of graphic designer types I know to find work.

I have a special way with words, you know. (By the by, nice to see you back around, Spring. Did you get your net working at home again?)
Repeat of yesterday's query! My indie rock song of the day is "All I Need" -- Air.
