Add Bob Pollard to the list of unlikely high school sports stars. (Along with Gordon Gano and Brian Wilson.)
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Baseball, eh? I would've thought some sport that involved kicking. (If you've ever seen Pollard's stage moves, you know what I'm talking about)

He is a kicker of elves.

Sadly, not a varsity sport in Dayton.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
but conversely, the people of Dayton, OH seem only dimly aware that Pollard is a big dumb indie rock deal.
The hipster smugness! It burns!

It's the only thing to keep the feral hipster warm on those cold Dayton nights.

I'm listening to Paul McCartney's Ram this morning.
Recommended.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. I've never heard of Ram - when did it come out?
Also, not available on iTunes or eMusic. No instant gratification for me!

It was his second solo album, after the self-titled one. So I think it came out around 1971.
It has the hit songs "Too Many People" and "Uncle Albert."
I'm listening to this obscure folk album by Maria Barton and it's freakin' gorgeous. (note the discreet "DL" under the track listing)
Recommended for any fans of Dar Williams and her ilk. Fantastic voice, pretty acoustic guitar and lovely, smart songs.
Incidentally that blog, Time Has Told Me, is an amazing resource for long OOP folks albums. Particularly early seventies stuff.
