Where is the fun in that (for us, I mean)?
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyway, I highly recommend the new album by Zola Jesus: [link]
Up until now I've only heard two tracks of theirs, from when they were on WFMU.
I'm gonna be lazy and copy a post at emusic:
Totally out of nowhere home-recorded debut album by one Nika Roza Danilova. I commented on the 17dots blog post wherein I found out about it: "So far, this is reminding me strongly of the Cocteau Twins' first album 'Garlands' -- the general feeling of dread, the sense of a singer possessed by some larger-than-human thing she can't articulate, the sound horribly mangled by trying to fit within the confines allotted to it." To be precise, it's a sound made of mechanical clanking, absurd amounts of reverb, severe clipping, very powerful female vocals, pop melodies with their backs broken. // Recommended if you like: Early Cocteau Twins, Danielle Dax, the Jesus & Mary Chain, early Siouxsie & The Banshees, Jarboe, Suicide, Cortney Tidwell...
eta: She's 18 years old, from Madison, and recorded this in her bedroom IIRC....

If one is under the influence and is blown away by an album is hearing for the first time, should one wait until one is sober before raving about it here?
Was it Inna Gadda Da Vida?

You think music critics write sober?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Going to the Largo to see Neil Finn tonight! It is an intimate music-lovers' type of place--200 seats, and NO talking or electronic devices allowed. They usually get lots of guests, so I will let you know who shows up.

Can you record a video of the show while talking on your cellphone and emailing from your laptop?

They actually had a cellphone nazi there! If he saw the light from a phone, he shone a flashlight in the miscreant's face and said "Turn it off for the duration of the show, dude." It was AWESOME.
The show itself was wonderful--Neil, Jon Brion and Neil's son, Elroy, playing an ever-changing selection of instruments. Neil said it was a night of self indulgence for him and he was going to play a lot of lesser-known songs, many of which he said were "dead moody." He was in amazing voice and the song selection was varied and gorgeous. We were in the 7th row, which was of course great!
