Buffy ,'End of Days'
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.
Is Brendan Benson any good?
I love love love Lapalco, (which is available on emusic) but not so much his other two albums including the most recent one.
He is very Matthew Sweet-esque, nice straight up pop with clever rhyme-y lyrics. I'd go Lapalco - especially the first two tracks "Tiny Spark" and "Metarie" - if you don't like those, you won't like his other stuff.
ETA:
But interested in hearing Kozelek's album
It's on emusic as well - do you do the emusic thang, C.I.? I forget.
It was The Alternative to Love I had my eye on. I had flicked past it a couple of times in record shops and knew he had some connection to Jason Faulkner or Jon Brion or somebody I liked a good deal. But Lapalco, eh?

Just signed up the day before yesterday. I'll check it out.
Oh and the second picture down makes me either incredibly ashamed of myself or incredibly proud to be a dad. I can't decide.

Woohoo! My emusic user name is kansian just in case you see it pop up (and I have public lists and such but there is no way to search for people by username - it's dumb - you just have to kind of happen upon them).
And: Ohmygodcutebaby!!
But Lapalco, eh?
Yeah - I just wasn't impressed with Alternative to Love at all. Lapalco is harder to find in stores though.
I'll keep an eye out for you, Tina! I have no idea what my username is.
Also: thanks! Li'l Sphere is precious, even when checking out tranny junkie butts.
BABY!! cute!

David answers the musical question, "What goes on there in your mind, Lil' Sphere?" Although Lou's answer ("I think I am falling down") was probably closer. Perfect album for a little Austinite: the opportunity to cheer or boo (don't know the prevailing Austin attitude) when Lou talks about the Cowboys, a longtime UT prof on guitar, the opportunity for Dad to talk about Moby Dick ("Now, son, the singer's..." "You call that singing, Daddy?" "Respect your elders, boy! As I was saying, the singer's future girlfriend wrote a whole opera about this book." "Aw, man, you're not gonna read it to me again! Why can't that guy stick to the story?" "What'd I tell you 'bout respecting yer elders?")
Corwood, spend one of your emusic downloads on the title track to this. The other three are worth getting, too, but you must hear the title track.
Corwood, your baby cowboy is so adorable and just full of joy. He makes me want to hug him and absorb the happy.
