Trick ,'First Date'
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.
Have you seen a production?
No. I want you to see it and report back!
The new Big Star isn't nearly as awful as I was led to believe. As a Big Star album it's disappointing, but if it were being released as a Chilton solo CD, I would be thrilled with it.
t edit Ha! I didn't realize when I put in the link above, that Joe's link was an expanded version of mine. D'oh!
t re-edit And now, having read that expanded review, I agree that "February's Quiet" is the hit.
I saw the Big Star review and pretty much agree with it, but

if I could get into that headspace I might feel differently.
Either a regime change at The Alternative, or they've got a new intern.
New (previously unshown) videos tonight included: Beastie Boys - "Jimi Jams," "Gold Soundz" - Pavement (Santa archers on an industrial park rampage - who knew Pavement had such vids?), "Can You Dig It?" - Pop Will Eat Itself ("Alan Moore / Knows the score!").
PWEI reminded me of White Zombie, of all things.
Hey, did you know that Pavement likes both R.E.M. and The Fall? You would if you saw the "Gold Soundz" vid.
Egad, I finish Jilli's Goth(ish) video collection (6 hours!) and they show three goth videos they never did before. Hmph.
"Wasteland" - Mission UK; "Under the Gun" - Sisters of Mercy; "Shadowtime" - Siouxsie.
Damn you, Goth intern!

This is sarcasm, right?

I vaguely remember the videos from 120 Minutes way back in the day. Wonder if that's where the Goth intern is pulling these from....
This is sarcasm, right?
Sarcasm how? They obviously loved both those bands.
Yeah - "Pavement were Fall copyists" is Rock Snob Recieved Opinion #1245, between "Band of Gypsies is the best Hendrix Album because it is the funkiest" and "Neil Young is the sole '60s hero who really got Punk".
Sarcasm how? They obviously loved both those bands.
I meant more like "Pavement were REM fans, and in other news, the sun rose in the east."
Damn you, Goth intern!
Snork! I almost want to tag this, but I'm still lovin' my ice weasels.
Anyone interested in a free download from the not yet released TV on the Radio album can get it from their label's site: Dry Drunk Emperor.
It's really good - and doesn't sound too similar to their last album at all.
The last few weeks I have been weeding the 6000 songs on my iPod with absolutely no sentimentality or respect toward the sanctity of complete albums. I'd wanted to do this for a while and I am glad I finally started. It's liberating and fun. It can't be overstated how much this thing has totally changed what I listen to and how I listen to it.
