I've listened to the album by Drug Rug a few times, and it's really grown on me. (It's available on eMusic.) My fave songs so far: "Lie Lie Lie" and "Alright."
The new Fiery Furnaces has also grown on me (so I really regret not getting familiar with it before the show).
I just played Drug Rug on the radio this morning!
Hey! How come nobody told me that Gavin Friday (Virgin Prunes) did an album in 1989 on Island with Hal Wilner in a Weil style cabaret mode using mostly Tom Waits sidemen? Huh?!

Because I figured you would have already known about it. Pretty damn good album, too.
Remember, back in April, when I posted about how the Clash cover by the Lothars was mastered at the wrong speed?

I am somewhat relieved and greatly amused to see that the same mistake has been made in a far more public arena: [link] (via BoingBoing)

My brother gave me this album by a group called Mute Math. If you've not heard of them yet check them out. Their performance on Conan the other night (they performed Typical) was amazing.
I saw that performance! It was percussiontastic!
