Oooh, excellent finds, Sean. That Placebo cover is especially grand. Big Rock And Roll Fun.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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.

Sweet! Oxford American is letting me write about Dan Hicks.
Plus, they pay money.
Professional writing career, oh how you toy with me.

That's awesome David. You know OA is one of my favorites.
Saw The New Pornographers down in Battery Park this afternoon. For a bunch of Canadians they do a darned good job of celebrating the Fourth. They did a lot of stuff from the new album, and I stuck around until it started raining enough to be uncomfortable. It was cool to see Neko and AC again.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Someone told me about them, so I downloaded the two tracks available on eMusic. Damn - I never knew the banjo could sound so cool.
So now I need to buy one or more of their albums. Anyone know a good place to start?

Tommyrot, Bela Fleck has a very extensive discography. I'd suggest starting with one of his solo bluegrass albums like Drive (from 1988).
I also really love his stuff with New Grass Revival ( On the Boulevard is my favorite) . After about 1990 he mostly switches over to jazz. I don't like that stuff too much.
Neko is from Chicago.
She did live here for a while, but she is was born in Virginia, raised in Tacoma, Washington, (which he sings about with so much pride and sadness on "Thrice All American") and went to college in Vancouver.
Congrats, David!

Congrats on the Oxford American gig, David!
My iPod seems to love the Band of Susans right now. I think I have maybe 5-6 Band of Susans songs out of the 4000-odd songs on there, but it's served up 1-2 of their songs, most prominently "Elizabeth Stride (1843-1888)" every day since Saturday. Which is awesome.

Blast you, tommyrot! I'm going to have that in my head for the rest of the day!
