'Shindig'
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.
Low scheduled a show in Israel, one of the 9 on their world tour this summer, on September 11th.
This brings up three questions to mind:
1. Who told all those bands about Tel Aviv? We're reaching the "bands I never even dreamed seeing live" section of my album collection.
2. The "bad sound and treatment venue" Barby. Oh. Why. The. Fuck. You don't wanna play there.
3. My kidney. How much do I feel attached to it?
Edit: grammar. You know, the lack of it.
Since a lot of my overseas friends loved this guy, I wanted to post about him here too.

You know, if I didn't already love the man, his opening question/answer would have done it:
Q: What’s the most curious record in your collection?
A: In the seventies a record company in LA issued a record called “The best of Marcel Marceau.” It had forty minutes of silence followed by applause and it sold really well. I like to put it on for company. It really bothers me, though, when people talk through it.
Carl Wilson's review of the new Scarlett does Tom album. He does not like it, to say the least.

Q: What’s scary to you?
A:
10. Mc Cain will win.
Yikes!!!
This is lovely:
Q: What’s heaven for you?
A: Me and my wife on Rte. 66 with a pot of coffee, a cheap guitar, pawnshop tape recorder in a Motel 6, and a car that runs good parked right by the door.

I told my brother (a huge Waits fan) that such an album existed, and he laughed for about 30 seconds straight, then stopped abruptly and said, "No. That's not funny."
Yikes!!!
I think (hope!) that what he's saying is it would be scary if McCain won.

That's definitely what he's saying. See: "Road to Peace," "Sins of the Father," "Hoist that Rag"...
That interview of Tom on Tom hits on so many things in my book I should just use it as an index.
Also, check out how red his hair is in that picture. He's been dying it since the 80s, and I think he went clean shaven because his beard is all white.
He'll be 60 next year.
Radiohead Post-Apocalyptic Alt-Rock Opera.
Thirty complete RADIOHEAD songs, played one after another, replace the regular audio of 1976 sci-fi futurist fantasy LOGAN'S RUN. The 17 parts in sequence cover the whole thing.
Going back a ways - Juliebird, I think that version of Glory Box you're looking for is the "Glory Box (Mudflap Mix)" that is on the two-disc Glory Times (guess it was definitely a better title choice than Sour Box) CD-EP. I'd forgotten that was a two-disc set.
