There's one in Austin, too. My friend Elizabeth Jackson (of the Darling New Neighbors, recommended) works with the camp every summer.

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, that camp looks fantastic!! And I will totally be in Boston while it's running. If I, you know, could play an instrument or had a band or something, I'd totally volunteer. It seems like a great, great program.

zuisa, there are many volunteer opportunities that don't involve knowing how to play an instrument. If you're serious, you should get in touch with the organizers! [link]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
My cousin was a big participant in that camp, and now teaches at it. It's pretty awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here is our engladdening summer song for today: "Glad Girls" by Guided by Voices.
It will cheer you up.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That is an engladdening song!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I love that their first idea was to be an Alan Parsons Project cover band.
