Damn, Oneida's recent album, Preteen Weaponry, is great. For fans of self-indulgent krautrock and unchecked ambition.

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.

That's the one with like 3 really long songs? Yeah, quite cool.

Yeah, that's the one. It's really just one really long song split into three parts. About 45 minutes long with maybe 2 minutes of singing in and among the groove. Their last one, The Wedding, had some fantastic singing on it and lots of chamber-pop dressing, but this one is all noise and groove and dynamics. Exciting stuff!

I also wanted to mention that emusic has a free sampler of music from The Real Tuesday Weld, a one-man band of chamber-pop with lots of horns and goofy creativity spilling out all over the place.

Ooo, thanks for the heads up! I highly recommend his album "I, Lucifer" and the book of the same name to which it is a companion. Funny in a manner similar to Good Omens, but meaner. Also? spoiler angel slash spoiler

People of the good and the Buffy,
I saw The Gutter Twins a little bit over a week ago. I think I just got over the "wow!" cloud I've been walking in since then just enough to tell you guys this: go and see them, if you can. This is a rare treat, and they'll start another American leg in October.
For those who might need further convincing, I wrote about 3,000 shows review in another forum. Seriously, guys. Go and see my boys play live, even if you don't like the sounds on their MySpace. You just deserve it.

No link right now, but I just heard on NPR that Rick Wright, keyboardist and founding member of Pink Floyd, has died from cancer.

Heard the same. It's on Sky.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
It's on The Star, too. RIP, Richard.
