Spike ,'Sleeper'
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.
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)
Rock stars attempting their own Jazz Odyssey:
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!
BigDuluth, Pandora has given me that song! I rather like it.
sumi, agreed that was fantastic. I've never seen anything like that done on a late night show performance. It says a lot about the band.
I just got my revised expected delivery date for Hec's book from Amazon. They are saying late December now.
Just in time for Christmas?
Between 12-22 and 12-26, so right around then but possibly after. Though I've had stuff arrive earlier than their dates from Amazon more often than not.
