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.

Hey, Chicagoistas!

Richard Thompson and Loudon Wainwright III are playing the Vic Theatre on October 29th: [link]

Tickets go on sale tomorrow and are $34 (before Ticketmaster loads on the fees). Anyone want to go?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

They're calling it the Loud and Rich tour. [link]

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

You should double-check that they're still continuing at the Richard Thompson site. He apparently broke a finger playing cricket a day or two ago.

Nevermind, they seem to be posted on the site, too.

This just in: "Shitlist" by L7 is still a great song.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Kind of Bloop is the most awesome thing I've seen in ever.

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

Just saw It Might Get Loud.

Definitely a must for any guitar aficionados (I'm looking at you, Cor!) out there. Most charming moment is watching the gleeful looks of "holy shit, I can't believe this is happening right in front of me" on the faces of Jack White and The edge when Jimmy Page rips into "Whole Lotta Love."

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

Just spent four days at Bouncing Souls shows. One inept little stage diver managed to kick me in the BACK of the head and raised quite a nice little bump. And did you know a human nose could get kicked three times and not bleed even once? Twice my sinuses... um, "released" and I felt like there was blood everywhere but there was not. NOW I know why we have sinuses - they're shock absorbers!

The Bouncing Souls, Seven Seconds, Lifetime, None More Black, and Tim Barry (late of Avail) were all brilliant, however. Basically, I feel awesome.
