Early ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Hey, you know what's evocative?
"Child Ballad No. 243 aka the Daemon Lover"
What's your favorite Child ballad title?
I think Teppy loves #38 "The Wee, Wee Man."
I see Tommyrot as a #185 "Dick o the Cow" man.
Cor is clearly all about #230 "The Slaughter of the Laird of Mellerstain", while tina clearly favors #248 "The Grey Cock, or, Saw You My Father?"
The NY Times finally allows negroes to listen to rock music. Free at last!
I don't even have to click on the link to know what article you are talking about. The BF and I stared at it in disbelief on Sunday morning. Seriously? "Blipster"? SERIOUSLY???
It's like it was an Onion story or April Fools joke or something. Except it wasn't.
coffee and an egg.
Just back from seeing M. Ward at a "rare solo performance" at Park West. My friends had to drag me. I just saw him. I don't looooove the new album.
OHMYGOD. Fan-fucking-tastic. Solo. Acoustic. (w/ awesome, wonderful Freakwater opening) It was all about Daniel Johnston, and he invited some dude from the audience to play piano (dude says two words into the microphone the whole time: "holy.shit."). He encores with "Carolina" and "Let's Dance."
That was a good time.
The next show I have tickets for is the The Thermals in about a month. I went through a period there when I kind of felt done with going to shows. But I just hadn't been to a good one in a while. I think.
Sounds fantastic, Tina!

I thought I'd read that they'd thrown in the towel. Glad to hear that they're still playing.
Cassette culture necklace. That's cool.
Hec and Corwood, I picked up the 33 1/3 anthology that came out recently. Haven't actually read anything in it yet (I bought it today), but I'm looking forward to dipping into several of the pieces.
The Police are going to be performing at the Grammys, Feb. 11.
t on edit They\'ll be opening the awards show: [link]
I'm at work so I can't watch this at the moment: Siouxsie and the Banshees live TV performance from 1979 - with Robert Smith on guitar.

Ditto. That guy's site is awesome and addictive. Look near the lower right corner for links to previous entries, grouped by month.
I first visited after James Brown died. I think Tom Scola linked to one of the FMU deejay's blogs which linked to Dante Fontana. I don't think this is the Love Power Peace show, but it's the same band in Paris, probably the same week.
Bo Diddley for Hec. Check out the Duchess! Yow!zah!
I'm not a huge fan of jazz guitar, but I do love Jim Hall. And Bob Quine loved him so much he stole his look. Okay, I made that up, but I wouldn't be surprised if Quine loved his playing. Hall backing Sonny Rollins around the same time as the Bo Diddley clip.
Anyone who's listened to my Buffistamixes knows I love Spike Jones. Well, the City Slickers had as many visual jokes -- including banjo player Freddy Morgan just being kinda goofy looking -- as aural ones, it's great to see them as well as hear them. Dig the guy with the paddleball!
A rather daft and loopy interview with Moz in the LA Weekly in which it is revealed that he grieves for his cats and comes to the aid of injured squirrels (and still loves Glam).
My favorite part was him talking about the cemetary in LA he'd like to be buried in, Hollywood Forever:
I like it... I stumbled across Johnny Ramone’s stone — I thought his stone was very nicely placed. And I sat there for a very long time, and I felt quite good about it. I felt it was a nice position, and it was nice that his bones were under the soil that I was sitting on. So, yeah. That’s my spot. And I have considered putting money down for reserving a spot.
