Well, there was that XTC album with the train on the cover....
ION, WFMU just played the new Glenn Mercer (formerly of The Feelies) track "Morning Lights". eMusic has the album. Hooray!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

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

Wow, that's great news. How is it? I have a Wake Ooloo album that's about 1/2 great and 1/2 dreck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When I saw him live in April, I wasn't that impressed with the new material, especially considering how rocking the older Feelies songs he played sounded.

The Feelies set the bar pretty high.

Yeah, it was kind of weird though. It was like a different band suddenly appeared on stage when they started playing Feelies songs.
Brenda's band, Wild Carnation, was good too. They have a new album out also.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Remember back in the 80s when everybody did a 12 inch remix?
Well, Tom Waits did one too on "Hang on St. Christopher."
It's...curious. Actually I think it might've influenced his production on "Heigh Ho."

Eeeeee, Kane!
So I went down to Liverpool last night to see Chris Kane and Steve Carlson perform, and gosh they're really quite good. Like, I enjoy their music--there's nothing quite like throwback country for the midnight journey through the Cumberland Gap--and there's the fangirl element too. (Whew, but the fangirls were out in droves last night. Bless them.) But truthfully, they're really very talented, and managed to rock it out with just two guitars and two microphones.
Much love!

Were you singing the Katrina & the Waves/Bangles song on the way there?

Sadly, no. I am not that cool.
