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 saw Henry Rollins & Ian MacKaye at the Rat in Boston doing a "spoken word" thing which was really just them reminiscing about their days at the ice cream shop! hilarious.
My friend Ivor Hanson (drummer in Faith and Embrace) worked there as well.
The bookstore where I work on Saturdays just got his book (about window washing) in this week!
Hec, remember the pig songs I was asking about? Any chance you can post some of the ones you suggested when you have a chance?
Heeee, Ivor!
He went to my college, on the 6-year-plan, and was a second or third year senior my freshman year. All the freshman drama majors used to watch him strolling long-leggedly across campus with his long hair and leather jacket and swivel our heads to follow him and meltingly sighhhhhhhh, like the intellectual-geek version of the gaggle of twittering girls following Viktor Krum around in Goblet of Fire.
The randomness of finding out that Hec has been friends with him and his twin since college still utterly cracks me up.

Absolutely! Sorry I've been tardy. I was actually reminded when I was looking at the Cartoon Modern book and saw the entry on "The Three Little Bops."

Yay! He's been working on that book for five years. I'm glad it's finally out.
David -- Do you know Ivor because he lives in your building, or did you know him before that?

Ivor's twin brother Lars was one of my freshman when I was an R.A. at Kenyon. So I've known Ivor since he was 18 and still playing with Faith.
Ivor actually was admitted to Kenyon, but took a year off between high school and college to play with the band. Then he went to Vassar instead.
He was only in SOA briefly towards the end of their career and never recorded with them. His other bands were Manifesto, and then Embrace (which was sort of the proto-Fugazi, with Ian MacKaye).
I suspect Ivor was one of the people in the scene who snarkily dubbed "emocore" early in its inception.
I'm posting piggy songs to BR2. That would be the second one.
Bessie Smith, Southern Culture on the Skids, Suede, Louis Jordan, Tennesee Ernie Ford - just the good stuff.
Thanks, Hec!
Thanks, Hec!
De nada. Still looking for "Space Madness."
But I have delivered quality porky songs to Buffrok Deux.
How sad! The awesome music blog Post-Punk Junk is going off the air today. I've been downloading like mad all day just to make sure I get tracks before they disappear.
If I switched to a different web hosting company, nothing would change, because they probably would grow tired of PPJ straining their servers after only a few months. PPJ’s traffic increased every single month without fail, and that wouldn’t change if I jumped somewhere else.
It would if you coughed up the money for a private server, dude.
