Robyn Hitchcock's last album, Propeller Time is getting some very good reviews. (I type this as I watch "Sex, Food, Death and Insects" on cable, and they're talking about Nashville in the winter and Arthur Kane.)

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.
Ooh, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Has it been released yet?
OK, I'm posting something from Wonkette in music... but this is just weird:
Happy 40th Anniversary Eve, Kent State Massacre … DEVO Was There
Liz Glover just sent us this morbid reminder: “Tomorrow is the 40th Anniversary of the Kent State Massacre. Here’s my interview with a couple of the members of Devo who witnessed it.”
Did we know DEVO’s Jerry Casale was a member of SDS who watched the whole horrible quadruple murder of Kent State anti-war protesters back in 1970? It is difficult to keep track of everything weird & awful in our Recent American History. Anyway ….
Anybody know this?
Yeah, that was one of the major events leading up to the idea for devolutionary people.
Yeah, I knew Casale had been there. Also he was in a Kent, OH band with Chrissie Hynde (Jackrabbit). Joe Walsh is also from Kent.
I am trying to identify an image that I think I am remembering from an album cover. a drawing of a figure with either a dunce hat or jester style hat on, possibly blind folded. I am think it is mostly a line drawing like pencil or pen and ink.
This is first thing I thought of given your description, msbelle.
that might be it. I hate vague visual memories stuck on the edge of my brain.
Awww, man, there's so much cool stuff happening around here I can't even begin to keep up with it. But for one, there's the Fundraising Bash at the Vulcan Complex in Oakland.
Featuring...Tornado Rider! You may be thinking, "Ehhh, Tuesday. Do I really need to see a power trio with thrash metal chops and a buff, elfin lead singer/cellist rave through a song about a bird of prey while the lead singer dangles from the ceiling by his knees playing a solo on said cello whipping the crowd into a frenzy?" Yes you do!
I think it was Train: [link]
