Gogol Bordello gave great concert last night. They played for almost two hours, and the friend I dragged to the concert, who had never heard them before, announced afterward that she was going to buy all of their CDs.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Which is to say, if you like Bauhaus, you'll like this one.
Very good to hear.
Good to hear, indeed!

I put the new Bauhaus on when I went to bed and I really like what I heard of it. I did fall asleep, but with headphones and in bed I can fall asleep to hardcore.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Can anyone rec a good country complation album or albums? I was watching clips from Johnny Cash's tv show last night and suddenly find myself lacking lots of of older country - Merle, Hank, Loretta, Carter Family, Carl Perkins, etc.

Email me your address, Aimee. I have a copy of a classic country comp I made years ago for a friend just lying around. I'm going to mail out a bunch of DVDs on Monday, and I'd be happy to send you a disc, too.

Hey Jon! (and other cool indie rock fans)
I accidentally tivoed a music show off the Mexican channel and saw the band Austin TV. Check our their album Fontana Bell. I think you'll like it.

Can't say it's doing much for curmudgeonly ol' me, but funnily enough I know the mixing engineer, Tim O'Heir. He used to work at Fort Apache studios.

You kind of have to watch their video to get them, I think.
Or better yet an interview with them while they're wearing their leafy masks.

I "get" them. The video is lovely and fits well with their cinematic sound. I'm just not a big fan of the oeuvre in which they are working. They seems like a poor man's Explosions in the Sky.
