Here's a write-up on the new albums by the Chipmunks and the Archies: [link]
Spike ,'Sleeper'
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.
Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey Edwards declared legally dead. It's been 13 years. I wonder if it takes that long in the UK or if there was some resistence to the idea of having it done.
sumi, I think I read that the law is 7 years, but the family choose to declare him legally dead just now.
For some reason, those news makes me a little bit sad.
That makes sense. I know somebody whose sister-in-law also disappeared and they couldn't bring themselves to declare her dead. (And even though her mother moved away they kept the family home in the family - just in case.)
My sweet wife bought me the Sufjan Stevens Illinoise CD and... I don't know. Will continue listening, but right now, I'm not so sure it's for me. I keep going back to his Christmas songs.
There's a whole box set of his Christmas EPs.
That sweet wife I mentioned has also ordered that, but it hasn't arrived yet.
If anyone is interested: my dear friend Guy just uploaded a live session he did for his music blog. This one is with José González.
NPR are giving free listening to Neil Young, Hear Sugar Mountain: Live At Canterbury House 1968.
