He is a kicker of elves.
Sadly, not a varsity sport in Dayton.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

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.

Psst! Corwood. You need this?

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.

Oh, I don't know.
Thanks!
Am now listening to some band called The Rolling Stones. Beggars Banquet is the album. Huh. I have 17 Rolling Stone albums. I think Bowie is the only artist who I have more of. Maybe Robyn Hitchcock too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Rolling Stones
I think I remember them. They were big in the 80s, right?

I think so. Although the album I'm listening to came out in 1968. So they must have been toiling in obscurity for decades!
eta: See, now the singer is singing about doing a jigsaw puzzle. No wonder they weren't popular back then. (For the record, I gave that song four stars.)
