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.

There's a new Robyn Hitchcock album on the way that features Johnny Marr on one track. He co-wrote the song, too.
Very cute Marr-less video: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've been mostly Pogues-less since I switched away from cassette tapes, but now eMusic has added the Pogues, so I've acquired If I Should Fall From Grace With God and Rum Sodomy & The Lash.
If anything, I love these albums more now than I did before, back in my 20s. And I gotta say "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is by my favorite anti-war song.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I hadn't realised the Pogues had covered that. I played it (the original) when I visited Gallipoli. It's a pretty powerful song.

Who did it originally? I'm only familiar with the Pogues version.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is it an Eric Bogle song? My favorite Irish pub in New Orleans used to play it.

Yep, Eric Bogle. He's a Scottish-born Australian folk singer.

Now I have an earworm. A really depressing earworm.

According to several news outlets, it appears that Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse committed suicide yesterday. He was one of my favorite living songwriters, up there with, well, Vic Chesnutt. And now both of them are dead by their own hands in just over two months. Perhaps I need to listen to more uplifting music. As I write those words, though, my iPod serves up Jay Reatard.
