That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly 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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I can direct you to some automated backup programs if you want, juliana.

Oooh, yes please. And the jacket (and Frye boots, because I know won't be satisfied with just Docs) will be mine! Muhahahaha!

Who are your favorites?

Ha. That could take all day. It's easier to mention things I don't like. I'm still not wild about country, a lot of folk, R&B, and fail to truly appreciate The Mountain Goats. I got over my aversion to pop, at least.

Pink Martini has a new album that is as delicious as their others. I only discovered them a month or two ago, so despite the fact that the bloom isn't entirely off the rose, they're quickly ascending to Combustible-Edison-like favorite status with me.

OK, recent stuff I like includes Deerhunter's Cryptograms, Shearwater's Palo Alto, Deerhoof's Friend Opportunity, Yo La Tengo's I Am Not Afraid of You And I Will Beat Your Ass, Panda Bear's Person Pitch, Andrew Bird's Armchair Apocrypha, anything by Akron/Family, anything by Espers (and I'm getting away from "recent" to "underappreciated," I think), anything by Jens Lekman, Midlake, the new Spoon, has the new Beastie Boys record dropped?, the Clientele's God Save The Clientele, The Dexateens' Hardwire Healing, Voxtrot's s/t album, ok that's all I have at the moment.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I Am Not Afraid of You And I Will Beat Your Ass

Go to the record store and ask for it by name.

(But seriously, a must-have).

Q. Will the record store counter geeks get Tom's joke?

A. Yes. Yes, they will.

Ooh, I need more Pink Martini! And thanks for your suggestions, Corwood. Some I already have, but there were several albums in there that I'd forgotten I wanted to buy.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

A. Yes. Yes, they will.

I love that article, and I own a vintage Galaxie 500 shirt.

Tom -- Are you going to Maxwell's Saturday for the Glenn Mercer show?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm not being judgy as I have a few copies of music on burned CDs and many many on casette tape I'm just curious...

Is turning your CDs into MP3s and then re-selling them equivalent to owning pirated copies? If I understand correctly the RIAA's position, you can make as many copies as you want for your own use as long as you bought the commercial recording. Does selling the commercial recording (admittedly at a significant loss) make the copies that you burned "pirated"?
