That's what I gleaned from the Pitchfork review. I'll probably pick it up, but my expectations aren't that high.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.
Fiery Furnaces was fun. What's-her-face seemed angry - is that usual for her?
Drug Rug (the first opening band) was cool. They're from Cambridge. Anyone familiar with them? I was tempted to buy their CD, but I thought I'd check eMusic first. (Thought about asking them if eMusic had their stuff, but I thought that might be rude, as I bet they make less money on eMusic sales.)

Eleanor? I've never seen her much for engaging the audience, but I've never seen her look anything but impassive, either.

I hadn't heard of them, but I just checked out their mySpace tunes and they do sound cool. I sent them a message to send their CD to WMBR.

Neat video from the NY Times on twelve tone music and its origins: [link]
(Bonus: some nice Sonic Youth and New Pornographers footage on the same page!)

I enjoyed that video very much, Jon.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Cool. BTW, Amazon lies (they've been saying it would be out end of October/early November). I went ahead and ordered it anyway.

Good man! Yeah, they had me pegged for Oct. 15, and now it reads Dec. 15. But it might not come out until Jan. (Not to discourage your xmas shopping but there it is.)
