Argh! Ted Leo is coming to town in August and playing at the stupidest club here. Plus it is the same weekend that my band will (if things work out) be playing in Vegas (which !!!!!).
I think he, like Fugazi, is someone I'm destined to NEVER see.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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.

Thought it might be of interest to some of the New England-istas. Apparently Jandek is playing at the new ICA in Boston on June 8 @ 8pm. Longish article about it in this weeks Phoenix, where he's referred to officially as the "representative from Corwood Industries". I already knew that was the source of Corwood's handle, but it made me laugh to read it all the same.

Except he's playing bass, which is weird.
Hey, who does the song "I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glaaad"? Is that Cream?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think so too.
Deep Purple is my second guess, but I'm leaning heavily to Cream.

Yeah, some googling confirms it. Thanks.

Awww.
I am listening to today's Breakfast of Champions. That was the sweetest anniversary opening pair of songs! Happy anniversary to you and FAQ wife, Jon!

I can't stop listening to the new National album, Boxer.
It's much slower and darker than Alligator (which has been in constant rotation for me since it came out) but equally as good - the drums especially stand out on the newer one. If you've never heard them - I highly recommend either album. It's like Leonard Cohen fronted a pop band with cello and horns and wants to tell you about some bad winter-time breakups and that time he was really drunk but his friends were really, really drunk.

Is there a Breakfast of Champions podcast? I always miss it and always regret missing it.

He's done a few all-bass albums in the last couple of years, and they're actually pretty good, a little more ambient than some of his more extreme guitar albums, but still with that pure Jandek pure spaceman sound.
