Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
Wow. That just kept going...and going...and going. I haven't heard the damn song, so I eventually stopped reading because I didn't care. It seemed pretty interesting, though.
Joanna Newsom took some getting used to, but I can dig her now.
From the little Joy Division I've heard, I much prefer Interpol.
smonster, thanks for the link! That was fascinating. And long, but definitely worth reading (though I still haven't heard the song, and will probably endeavor to avoid it now).
At least as much for the parts that aren't about Ke$ha as for the parts that are.
Yes! I loved the part about "Single Ladies" in particular.
I love Interpol, but nothing they've put out has been as viscerally wrenching as Joy Division at their best.
David, did you see that Tom Waits is guest-editing the 200th issue of Mojo? [link]
There's been a Waits orgy on WHRB all day today!

Cool beans. Expect something on Alan Lomax's field recordings.
Anyone here read Goodall, "Living in the Rock N Roll Mystery"?
While it's not really the direction I want to read about, it's still the only "real"/"proper" ethnography I heard of that's related to rock music.
(I'd post in Literary, but I thought that if anyone read it, they're probably reading this thread)
Shir, have you heard Lanegan's two albums with Isobel Campbell? I love those.
I heard some of the songs in them, yes, but I mostly cling to his solo work.
