This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

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.

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

The Rolling Stone acoustic Patrick Stump videos are killing me ded.

“Not dead yet!”

I can't *wait* to see that tonight.

Oh, me too, even if it's only going to serve as torture until next fall when it comes on regularly. I cannot wait to see Kristin Chenoweth as an alcoholic high school dropout when she guests on the show.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Has anyone linked to MoshCam.com before? The Sydney Gary Numan show is online as their 500th gig. The fans seem way less enthusiastic than at the Melbourne show. Typical New South Welshpersons. :)

Great catch!

Hey Shir! One of my favorite bands, The Notwist, are playing at The Barby in Tel Aviv on July 16. Go see them!

Hey Jon! Yeah, the Israeli music blogsphere is making a lot of noise about it, but I don't really know them. What am I missing?

A night before Why? will play there, and I'm planning to go and see them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Saw the Allman Brothers last night. The opening act was the Doobie Brothers, which my DH pointed out were playing like a State Fair act. But the Allmans, ah, the Allmans. Heaven.

They played with so much energy and life. Itw as like seeing a young band int heir prime. This was partly do to the transcendent playing of Derek Trucks, who is 29 and plays like a god, but crusty old Warren Haynes was matching Derek in musicianship and energy. We went with a friend who is a brilliant guitarist and composer (this guy [link] ), and he was blown away.

Since this is the Allmans' 40th anniversay tour, they had some guests. First was...Bruce Willis. WTF. Yeah, Ol' Bruno came out and played some pedestrian harmonica. Then the actual guests came out--Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Benmont Tench and Gregg Allman trading keyboard riffs was fabulous.

It was a glorious evening.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Why? is pretty great. I'm curious if he works any of his old cLOUDDEAD hip-hop-ish music into his current indie rock style.

Sounds fun, Scrappy! I saw the Allmans almost 20 years ago, and they were still putting on a great show then. Actually, now that I think about it, Dickey Betts wasn't at the show because he'd been arrested the night before for some drug-related infraction.

I only heard his more-current-stuff, but yeah, I think so.

I'm really planning to dancing my ass off at this show.
