I'll be doing a little tribute to Chilton starting right at 8am at [link]
Some songs, some stories (mostly ones linked to from here).

Something I will definitely miss about Austin: I left work yesterday, walked three blocks to a nearby pub, and caught the Meat Puppets (currently the Kirkwood bros + Shandon "Son Of Doug" Sahm) play a white-hot set for the low price of nothing at all.

You'll have to start a Mid Atlantic by the South festival, Corwood.
Ha! I guess I will have some time on my hands when I leave my job. Why not?
For those who missed it, my tribute to Chilton lasted over thirty minutes. The podcast is here.
Wow, Alex Chilton was memorialized in Congress by Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee.
