Yeah, some googling confirms it. Thanks.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

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.
Except he's playing bass, which is weird.
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ahhh, we love Guardian Unlimited. Review of a recent show at the Tate inspired by Brian Wilson.
Also a funny, cheeky review of the new Marilyn Manson.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
It sounds like Guns N' Roses fronted by old man Steptoe.
This made me laugh, both in and of itself, and because it also made me imagine Redd Foxx singing the Marilyn Manson songbook.

Oh Hec & Corwood, I had a guy at Atomic (my friends' bookstore where I work on the weekend) buying a bunch of 33 1/3 books at once. He'd just heard about their existence from a friend. And I totally pimped your books to him, "If you enjoy those, just wait for these upcoming titles!" hee
sadly I'm giving up my Sat. job so I don't think I'll actually be selling your books to the people.
