New British postage stamps!!! [link]
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

New British postage stamps!!!
Nice! Though that choice for a Pink Floyd album is odd.
Seems like Coldplay should have a DVD coming out of the sleeve too.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Love the stamps! Blur made it into the collection. Cool.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
This just in - I fucking love Pink. Jeezy, I want to see her live. I love that she's such a great performer and so outspoken and has a sense of humor about herself. Oh, yeah, and the music is fun, too.
Signed, just watched the Pink Chronicles on Fuse.

One for Corwood:
When you're both a music writer and a performer in a town as incestuous as Nashville, the occasional conflict of interest is inevitable. In this week's print edition of the Scene, you may have noticed this piece in the music section I wrote previewing the legendarily mysterious outsider-folkie Jandek's first ever appearance in Nashville. If you managed to make it to the show, then you might have also noticed me playing drums for Jandek. I know how it looks. You see, at the time I wrote the article I had no idea that, 48 hours prior to the show, I would receive an invitation to provide percussive services for the very artist I was writing about. Despite the obvious conflict presented, I decided that--since I wrote the piece before knowing I'd be involved in the show--this was a victimless breach of my journalistic integrity, and that the opportunity to be one of the few musicians to ever work professionally with Jandek was too unique to pass up.

Thanks! That's a great, great story.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Random question: For those who like Phillip Glass - do you like Einstein on the Beach? Or is that one not so popular even amongst Glass-heads?
That composition pretty much made his reputation, right?
Anyway, I love EotB. I have it on LP and a different recording on CD. I might get the other one on CD too....

Einstein on the Beach is my favorite Phillip Glass. Not that I own it, but I used to check it out of the library.

It's possibly my fave too. I bought it in '85, after reading a Rolling Stone profile on Glass.
eta: I don't play it that often ('cuz it's long ) but sometimes if I'm in a bad mood or really depressed, it's the only thing I want to hear....

ICompletelyON, I am out of it, as my coffee hasn't taken effect. I wanted to listen to The Weavers, but I was searching my iTunes for The Reavers.
Oopsie.
