Tragic. Sparklehorse was awesome.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'd missed the news about Chesnutt too. SIGH

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Sandinista Project, once again free for a limited time
A few years ago, I produced The Sandinista Project, in which 36 performers each covered one song from The Clash’s Sandinista! It was a fun and crazy project. Last summer, on Joe Strummer’s birthday, I made the record free for a day. The free download was a great success although what I learned from the experiment was more mixed.
I’ve been having a wonderful time on Boing Boing during my guestblogging residency and I’d like to say “thank you” by making the record free again, for a limited time. Instead of making it free for one day, which slowed the hamsters running the guterman.com servers to a crawl because everyone downloaded at once, I’m going to make the record, along with digital images of the packaging, available until midnight U.S. eastern time on Sunday night, so you’ll have plenty of time to download this before it goes away.
Just in case you don't know, this album has a track by The Lothars....

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
There are other good tracks on that as well...

“Not dead yet!”
Christian Kane fans, he has a solo EP up on iTunes today.
Dunno if it's previously released material or what, but thought I'd mention it.

Because books.
Only one song, Barb, "The House Rules". The rest are new!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's also on Amazon's mp3 download thingie. And ... I think it was available somewhere else but I don't remember where.

Oh, that other place? His website. [link] Which, I think, is buying an actual, physical disk. Dunno. I just want the legal files, so...

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

Yeah. I think my fave is "Career Opportunities", covered by the Sex Clark Five.
