I read the article and @@, as one would expect.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
In most definitely non-emo, non-@@ news, I got to see Eric McFadden play last night. He stepped in on a couple songs for The Kehoe Nation, and was, predictably, awesome. It was like a master class on rock guitar.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was talking about that article with my mom and quoted her some Fall Out Boy lyrics to try to explain why some (insane) people might think certain music promoted suicide.
The ribbon on my wrist says 'do not open before Christmas'
Mom said "what's so bad about that?"
I said, "he's singing about opening his wrist."
"ohhhhhhh" She replied, "I thought he was giving himself away as a present."
I wuv my mom.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks, Tom! Baltimore is very much the Thing right now I guess.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wound up on Toro's barricade at Madison Square Garden too.
Dude.
God wants me near Ray Toro. This much is clear.

I'm tempted to blow off work for a little while and attend tomorrow's city council meeting because of this proposed ordinance: [link]
ETA: Ha, ordinance tabled. Go team.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Listening to Portishead's Third and suddenly hankering for a version of "Glory Box" that I'd found on Napster way back and have since lost, and I can't find the song again. It's not the live version (Roseland NYC) and it's not the original from Dummy. It was more hard and aggressive. Anyone know of which I speak and where to find it?!
Third is okay, it's Portishead, no doubt, but more of the shrill keening that I liked least about the band, and a dash of Beth Orton, which is okay in it's small dose, and a sad loss of the triphop sampling thing they did that I loved so.

I saw Leonard Cohen last night, and he is a god among men. He was in fine voice (seriously), and his band were amazing, as were his back up singers. His version of Hallelujah made the crowd jump up for a standing O. (Not the only one last night, but the only one for a specific song.) Who By Fire and First We Take Manhattan were my other favourites.
Set list:
First Set
Dance Me To The End Of Love
The Future
Ain't No Cure For Love

Everybody Knows
In My Secret Life
Who By Fire

I think that's one of the versions on the "Glory Box" ep. I have it, but I don't really know how to get things from one of my CDs to someone else. I'd need somebody to walk me through the process. Not terribly tech saavy, I'm afraid (so, of course, I work in IT).
Give Third a few more spins. It's a slow grower for sure, but once it gets its hooks in (and it does have hooks), it's a keeper.
Looking at the Leonard Cohen song list makes me wonder how his really old songs sound with his voice the way it is now (I'm thinking specifically of So Long, Marianne, which is my favorite song of the first album).
Love love LOVE First We Take Manhattan!
